Dr. Chris Yavis grew up in a family that was all about natural health care and the importance of taking care of yourself. “It’s amazing that if you take care of your body, your body will take care of you.”
Dr. Yavis has always had an interest in how a healthy diet and exercise play a part in maintaining a healthy life. He found that chiropractic fit well into the same scope. He realized that if people take care of themselves, they do not need to rely as much on external factors like drugs and surgery. The first time he went to a chiropractor, he was in pain, and unsure of what to expect. After his initial adjustment, Dr. Yavis felt better immediately. He continued to receive chiropractic care and noticed that not only did his pain go away, but also how much better he felt all around. After experiencing these benefits and realizing chiropractic aligned with his beliefs, he decided to enter the chiropractic profession.
Since graduation from chiropractic school, Dr. Yavis has earned additional certifications that benefit our practice members:
- Muscle Release Therapy (Myofascial Release)
- Graston Therapy
- Contemporary Acupuncture Therapy
He takes regular continuing education courses on topics such as extremity adjusting and headache care to stay up to date on the latest in the health field.
Dr. Yavis has given numerous workshops on Headaches, Gut health, Cardiac health, Brain health, Exercise, Nutrition, Posture, Stress management, and Bone & Joint health.
When Dr. Yavis is not busy working, he loves to be outdoors with his wife Malissa and two daughters Presley and Paige. They enjoy camping, hiking, snowboarding, quading and anything else that gets him out in nature. He also enjoys going to the gym and working out. He and his family also love to travel experience new things and get adventurous, such as hiking in rainforests, climbing waterfalls, and caving.
