John Cherveny, Doctor of Chiropractic John Cherveny, DC, graduated from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon in 2000. Upon graduating he joined a medically directed multidisciplinary group in Denver, Colorado. This exposure to working with a variety of healthcare practitioners including Acupuncture, Massage Therapy, Medical Physicians and Physical Therapy was a great lesson in the team approach to patient care. As a musculoskeletal specialist, Dr. John incorporates a wide variety of treatment techniques in patient care, including Therapeutic Exercises, Soft Tissue Release, Spinal Manipulation, Ergonomic Recommendations and Stretching. Dr. John views every patient as an individual with unique needs and circumstances, both physical and mental, and is always aware of the mind body connection that often gets ignored in modern medicine. Setting realistic goals with patients, and often playing the role of provider and health coach, Dr. John’s favorite part of practice is when a light bulb goes on for a patient with regard to both the care of their individual conditions, and the small changes in our everyday activities that can impact many of the musculoskeletal conditions affecting patients. Dr. John enjoys hiking, biking, camping, cooking and can be found getting lost in the outdoors with his family and three rescue dogs in his free time.
