Credentials
- Doctor of Chiropractic (DC)
- SFMA, Selective Functional Movement Assessment
- Trained in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS)
- Dry needling and IASTM certified
Nate leads our Appleton clinic and brings more than a decade of hands-on experience, built largely in Denver, home to the Fox Valley. He is a movement-first clinician, which means he watches how you actually move before he decides how to treat you. The painful spot is where the story ends, not where it starts.
That approach is grounded in functional assessment. Nate uses the Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA) and the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) to trace pain back to its real source, a stiff joint somewhere up the chain, a muscle that stopped firing, a movement pattern that has been quietly overloading one area for years.
From there he combines adjustments, dry needling, and instrument-assisted soft-tissue work (IASTM, like Graston) with progressive rehab to get you moving again and keep you there. He works with everyone from athletes and active families to people with demanding manufacturing and trades jobs across the Fox Cities.
Nate leads our Appleton clinic, serving Appleton, Neenah, Menasha, Kaukauna, and the surrounding Fox Valley.
Questions about Dr. Nate
What does Dr. Nate specialize in?
Functional assessment first. He uses the Selective Functional Movement Assessment and the principles of Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization to trace pain back to its source, then treats with adjustments, dry needling and instrument-assisted soft-tissue work.
Which clinic does Dr. Nate work from?
He leads our Appleton clinic at W3173 Springfield Dr, serving Appleton, Neenah, Menasha, Kaukauna and the wider Fox Valley. Call (920) 533-0771 to book with him.
What does SFMA actually involve?
A sequence of movements you perform while he watches how you do them, which separates a genuine restriction from a strength or control problem. It is why he looks at how you move before deciding how to treat you, rather than working from the spot that hurts.
Is Dr. Nate a good fit for a non-athlete?
Yes, and much of his caseload is exactly that. He works with active families, people with demanding manufacturing and trades jobs across the Fox Cities, and anyone whose movement pattern has been quietly overloading one area for years.
How much experience does he have?
More than a decade of hands-on practice, built largely in Denver before he came to the Fox Valley. That volume matters mainly because pattern recognition is most of diagnosis in musculoskeletal work.
Can I request Dr. Nate specifically?
Yes. Ask when you call and the front desk will book you with him subject to his availability. Being flexible on timing helps if you are set on a particular doctor.
