The goal is not to give you the same visit every time. Your care starts with what is driving the issue, uses the treatment that fits, and then rebuilds what needs to change so progress lasts.
01
Evaluate
Your body gets assessed for how it is moving, what is compensating, and what is pushing stress into the painful area. That picture guides everything that follows.
02
Treat
Adjustments, soft tissue work, and dry needling are used when your findings call for them, not as a default routine.
03
Rebuild
Rehab then teaches your body to hold the change so you can get back to training, work, and daily life with more confidence.
Built To Last Past The Visit
DNS, short for Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, is a rehab approach built around breathing, position, core control, and developmental movement patterns. Instead of chasing whatever hurts, it helps restore the stability and mechanics your body was missing underneath it.
That is a big reason this clinic feels different. Adjustments, dry needling, and soft tissue work can calm things down, but DNS helps the change hold when you get back to lifting, running, working, or competing.
Better Carryover
The goal is not to look better in the clinic. It is to move better when life or sport speeds back up.
Better Decisions
A clearer picture of what is driving the problem means every treatment decision is made against the findings, not by default.
Better Position
DNS helps restore the breathing, bracing, and joint position your body needs before strength can really carry over.
Why DNS Matters For Athlete Families
A Dedicated Return-To-Sport Consult Path
The Active Rehab athlete program is built for cases where "cleared" still does not feel like ready. It is the right path when an athlete is still compensating, still managing pain, or needs a more reliable plan before full return.
Families start with a focused athlete consult, then move into one-on-one care shaped around the athlete's injury history, sport, position, season timing, and the real demands waiting ahead.
Focused First Evaluation
Athletes start with a consult built to clarify what is still missing, what is still risky, and what the next phase should be.
DNS-Based Rebuild
DNS helps rebuild position, control, and movement quality so strength and performance have a better base.
Sport + Season Planning
The plan is shaped around the athlete's sport, position, season timing, and what the next real demand will be.
Clear Return Standards
Progress is measured by movement quality, confidence, and how the athlete handles load, not by hope alone.
In Their Words
"Everyone I went to focused on the pain, but they all brushed aside the severe numbness. Marshall listened intently to all of my concerns and had me feeling so much better after my first session than in months of care from other providers."— Zoe Maffit
"I had a bad back injury from a workout accident. I went from unable to get out of bed to completely healed up."— Luke Lack
"In a span of 3 months, nearly all of the pain I've had is gone when engaging in those activities now. You'll likely end up stronger than you can remember without needing regular assistance."— Nathan Wilkening
Meet Marshall
He Built This Practice Because He Lived The Problem First
Before he was a chiropractor, Dr. Marshall Gevers was a competitive hockey player who spent years getting treated, getting better, and getting hurt again. Everything changed when he experienced a more integrated model: assessment-driven adjustments, rehab that followed the findings, and care built around actual function instead of symptom management.
When he later tore his labrum, that same model cut his recovery to roughly 4 months instead of the 6 to 8 he was told to expect. He also lived through a concussion with outdated guidance and no real path forward. That is why this practice is unusually strong in both recurring injury care and concussion management.
The Right Treatment Depends On What We Find
We do not default everyone into the same visit. Rehab often shapes the direction, then adjustments, soft tissue therapy, and dry needling are layered in where they help progress move faster and hold longer.
DNS Rehab
The foundation of the Active Rehab approach. DNS retrains breathing, bracing, position, and movement so the body stops defaulting back into the same problem.
Explore DNS RehabAdjustments
Specific, movement-informed adjustments used to restore joint mechanics when a segment is not moving or sharing load the way it should.

Tissue work that clears up restrictions so the body can move differently instead of getting pulled right back into the same compensation.
