Our Team

Chiropractor

Dr. Dustin grew up in the small and charming town of Nevada, Iowa. He went on to receive his undergraduate degree in Health and Wellness from Purdue Global University. During his high school and college years, he was introduced to chiropractic and the profound impact it had on his health and the health of others. He always knew he wanted to pursue a career that allowed him to serve and empower others, and quickly realized that chiropractic offered a powerful path to help people restore their health naturally and live at a higher level.

Dr. Dustin went on to earn his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life Chiropractic College West, where he developed a deep passion for Integrated and Regenerative Chiropractic Care. While in chiropractic school, he studied the body’s incredible ability to self-heal and the critical role the nervous system plays in overall function, performance, and recovery. During his time at Life, he pursued advanced training outside of the required curriculum through the Knee Chest Upper Cervical Revolution, equipping him with highly specialized techniques to help patients dealing with migraines, anxiety, chronic stress, and neurological imbalance. He also gained extensive experience adjusting extremities, allowing him to better serve athletes and active individuals throughout the community.

Today, Dr. Dustin is passionate about combining advanced chiropractic techniques with cutting-edge regenerative therapies to help patients avoid unnecessary medications and surgery whenever possible. The Connect Chiropractic is among a small percentage of chiropractic clinics utilizing SoftWave Technology to support tissue repair, healing, and regeneration. The office also offers Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Therapy for conditions such as disc herniations, sciatica, and chronic neck and low back pain, alongside customized Gut Health and Functional Wellness Programs designed to support autoimmune conditions, inflammation, energy, metabolism, and healthy weight loss.

Dr. Dustin’s mission is to help patients not only get out of pain, but truly optimize their health, movement, energy, and quality of life through a comprehensive, neurologically focused, and regenerative approach to healthcare.

Outside of the office, you can find Dr. Dustin enjoying time with family and friends, staying active, hiking, traveling with his wife Tiffany, and continuing to expand his education in performance, wellness, and regenerative healthcare.
