Our Services

At Active Life Chiropractic and Sports Injury, Dr. Bevans specializes in sports-oriented chiropractic care to help athletes of all levels enhance their performance, recover from injuries, and prevent future injuries. His approach combines advanced chiropractic techniques with a deep understanding of the unique physical demands of athletic endeavors, focusing on optimizing joint function, muscle activation, mobility, and promoting overall neuromusculoskeletal health. Whether you're recovering from a sports injury, dealing with chronic pain, or looking to improve your strength and mobility for peak performance, his tailored treatments are designed to keep you at your best.

Active Release Technique (ART) is a hands-on therapy method that targets and treats tension in soft tissues often due to musculoskeletal injuries or overload due to repetitive use. It works by identifying and releasing adhesions, scar tissue, and tight muscle fibers in the fascia, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. During treatment, Dr. Bevans applies specific pressure while guiding your muscles through their full range of motion. This dynamic approach helps to break down scar tissue and adhesions with the goal of restoring unimpeded motion to the soft tissues, releasing entrapped nerves, vasculature and lymphatics and restoring resilience and normal tissue function. ART is especially effective for conditions caused by overuse, repetitive stress, or trauma, and is often used in combination with other chiropractic techniques to accelerate healing and improve overall function.

Everyone’s journey is unique. Whether you're recovering from an injury, managing chronic pain, or working to improve athletic performance, Dr. Trevor will personalize rehabilitative exercises to address your specific needs, goals, and physical condition. Your exercises will be crafted to complement your chiropractic adjustments, enhancing the healing process, improving strength, balance, coordination, functional movement, posture, and joint stability. The goal is to help you not only feel better but to function better, decreasing your risk of future injury and enhancing your quality of life.

Instrument Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization (IASTM) is a highly effective, hands-on therapeutic technique designed to treat soft tissue dysfunction, improve mobility, and accelerate healing. Using specialized instruments, Dr. Bevans gently applies controlled pressure to targeted areas of the body to break down scar tissue, adhesions, and fascial restrictions, improving blood flow and stimulating the healing process.

IASTM is particularly beneficial for individuals dealing with chronic pain, sports injuries, muscle tightness, or post-surgical recovery. It helps restore normal tissue function, increase range of motion, and alleviate pain by promoting the body's natural healing response. This technique can also aid in improving flexibility and reducing inflammation, making it an excellent complement to chiropractic care and other rehabilitation therapies.

Dr. Bevans has advanced training and experience in pediatric chiropractic care using gentle, non-invasive techniques to support the proper alignment and movement of the spine, which can have a significant impact on overall health. Pediatric chiropractic adjustments are specifically designed for the unique needs of children and can help with common conditions such as colic, ear infections, asthma, sleep issues, and growing pains. Early chiropractic care may also help with spinal development, supporting healthy posture and nervous system function, which can improve immune function and support a child's physical and emotional development.

Dr. Bevans has advanced training in pregnancy chiropractic care designed to support mothers-to-be throughout all stages of pregnancy. As the body undergoes significant changes, chiropractic adjustments can help relieve common discomforts such as back pain, sciatica, headaches, and pelvic pain. By ensuring proper spinal alignment and movement chiropractic care may also assist with optimal fetal positioning and help reduce labor time and delivery complications. Chiropractors use gentle, safe techniques tailored for pregnancy, ensuring comfort and care for both the mother and baby. Chiropractic care can help pregnant women maintain a healthier, more comfortable pregnancy, preparing the body for a smoother birthing process.
