As a young athlete who participated in many different sports, Dr. Steve Hyjek soon became well acquainted with the field of sports medicine and the role that health professionals play in keeping bodies healthy. The help he received inspired him to offer similar help to others.
Dr. Hyjek is devoted to learning about the human body and has extensive post graduate training on the cause and treatment of many spinal and health conditions. He has received advanced certification in Whiplash and Brain Injury Traumatology in 2006, two advanced certifications in golf fitness and treatment of related injuries from the Titleist Performance Institute, is a graduate of the Total Solution Program through the Chiropractic Leadership Alliance, and most recently received a Creating Wellness Certification through the Creating Wellness Alliance.
