DR. DONOVAN OLIVO, DC
Meet Dr. Donovan Olivo of ASFCA.
Dr. Donovan grew up in Southbridge, Massachusetts where he developed an early interest in healthcare after spraining his ankle and getting a concussion through sports injuries. The doctors and physical therapists made it known that their care for patients was dedicated for each case specifically.
Originally going down the path of a physical therapist, Dr. Olivo found himself an opportunity visiting a chiropractic office for an internship towards the end of his undergraduate degree. After graduating from BYU-Idaho with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology, Dr. Olivo studied Chiropractic at Logan University, in Chesterfield, MO. He went on to gain valuable experience working in the Women’s Health Center and general health at the Montgomery Health Center at Logan University, which further deepened his understanding of patient care. Wanting to take a more proactive and holistic approach to health, Dr. Olivo decided to pursue acupuncture as one of the electives offered at Logan University and he plans to have his Board Certification for Acupuncture later this year.
At ASFCA, Dr. Olivo is passionate about educating patients on the body’s natural ability to heal and empowering them to take control of their health. He specializes in Diversified, Activator, SOT, and Thompson adjusting techniques. His most noted favorite is the CMRT protocol from SOT, which helps patients relax and reset the vagus nerve communication for the body.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Olivo enjoys time with his wife, Kristen, and his two kids exploring different movies and types of music. His other hobbies include cooking, video games, working out and dancing with his wife.
