Fellowship-trained Spine Management Physicians serving Provo and Utah County
What a Spine Management Physician actually does
A Spine Management Physician is trained to evaluate, image, interpret, and coordinate spine care across specialties. Not just adjust.
Evaluate and diagnose
- Full biomechanical and functional exam
- Motion X-ray (DMX) when indicated
- MRI review and radiologic correlation
- AI-assisted spinal measurement
- Differential diagnosis across musculoskeletal, neurologic, and visceral causes
Treat and coordinate
- Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP) corrective care
- Non-surgical spinal decompression
- Hands-on adjusting and soft-tissue work
- Referral coordination with spine surgeons, pain physicians, PTs
- Written reports to your PCP and specialists
The FSBT fellowship explained
FSBT. Fellow in Spinal Biomechanics and Trauma. Is a two-year postdoctoral fellowship administered through the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Cleveland University. Graduates are credentialed as Spine Management Physicians.
Advanced imaging
MRI interpretation, neuroradiology, motion X-ray analysis, and CT correlation. The fellowship is imaging-heavy because imaging is where most spine misdiagnoses begin.
Biomechanical science
Deep training in spinal biomechanics, load distribution, disc mechanics, and how geometry drives symptoms. The foundation for corrective rather than palliative care.
Seven clinical rotations
Neurosurgery, neuroradiology, interventional pain management, orthopedic spine surgery, orthopedic extremity surgery, emergency medicine, and family practice. All with a spine focus.
Why this changes the care you get
1. Diagnosis before treatment
We don’t adjust first and ask questions later. If imaging is indicated, we image. If a case belongs with a different specialist, we refer. And we give you a clear reason why.
2. Fluent across specialties
Our training is designed so we can speak the same language as neurosurgeons, pain physicians, and orthopedists. That means your care is genuinely coordinated. Not three isolated providers.
3. Measurable outcomes
Motion X-ray, postural measurement, and AI-assisted analysis let us track actual structural change. Not just “how does it feel today?”
Spine Management FAQ
No. Our doctors are Doctors of Chiropractic (DC) with an additional two-year postdoctoral fellowship. We are not MDs and do not prescribe medication or perform surgery. But the fellowship is specifically designed to let us work alongside those who do.
Most chiropractors train in adjusting technique. Spine Management Physicians add advanced imaging interpretation, biomechanical measurement, and cross-specialty rotations to that foundation. So we can manage complex cases and coordinate with other providers.
Usually not. First visit is history, exam, and imaging if indicated. We adjust once we have a clear picture of what’s going on. Not before.
Yes. This is exactly what the fellowship trained us to do. We routinely send structured reports and imaging reviews to referring specialists.
Both. We calm acute pain drivers first (joint irritation, nerve inflammation, muscle guarding), then move into corrective care for patients whose structure is part of the problem.
Yes. Dr. Devin, Dr. Matt, and Dr. Gordon all completed the FSBT fellowship. More on the doctors.
