Meet Dr. Steve
Dr. Steven Tavernaro “Dr. Steve” gravitates toward patient care with an emphasis on manual adjusting, trigger point therapy, and targeted exercises addressing root of pathology. Dr. Steve specializes in the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation of the neck, back and extremities using state of the art chiropractic procedures. He believes chiropractic physicians help people self-heal in addition to identifying and adapting the necessary tools/knowledge patients require to empower themselves; feeling even better than they did pre-injury.
Dr. Steve began the study of human biomechanics through the lens of chiropractic philosophy in order to better understand the cause of pathology and biomechanical dysfunction. Dr. Tavernaro received a Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic - Davenport; accompanying Master of Science in Psychology.

"I’ve been seeing Dr. Steve for adjustments for the past three years, and every time I leave, I feel amazing. He is genuine, personable, and truly cares about how you’re feeling, always taking the time to listen to your concerns. He creates a clear plan and walks you through it step by step. One of the things I appreciate most is that he doesn’t push unnecessary procedures or adjustments. He’s truly one of the best in his field."
