Dr. Ryan Bengtson attended Illinois State University where he received a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology.

Regularly involved in sports growing up, he was fascinated by human movement and its performance. After working for years in a hospital setting as a certified personal trainer, he knew there was so much more he could offer. Frustrated with injuries always derailing clients goals to achieve optimal wellness, it was time to make a change and pursue a career in Chiropractic Medicine.

Ryan took the next step and graduated from National University of Health Sciences with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree. His main ambition was to be the best clinician possible for his patients.

“Each patient and their families are different, with unique goals and needs. My intention is to relieve patient symptoms as fast as possible so they can return to doing what they love pain free”

Throughout his education and post graduate studies, Ryan valued the most current and progressive techniques. He pursued training in the McKenzie method, Webster Technique, functional movement screening, dynamic neuromuscular stabilization, kinesio taping, and myofascial release.
