Dr. Christian’s commitment to providing top-notch chiropractic care is evident through his certifications in Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) and Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab (FAKTR). These advanced techniques enable him to assess movement patterns and implement treatment plans that target the root cause of pain, rather than just alleviating symptoms.
