Dr. Savannah Gleaves
OUR FOUNDER
DC, CMES, BSc, BA
Chiropractic Physician & Medical Exercise Specialist
Fondly known as Dr. Sav, and originally from the Willamette Valley, her journey towards becoming a chiropractor was sparked by her desire towards helping individuals like her older brother, Russell, who had suffered from cerebral palsy and epilepsy all his life. Witnessing the positive impact of chiropractic care on individuals with similar conditions further fueled her passion. Her focus on community service and mission driven work extends much further than just the clinic. Dr. Gleaves is committed to giving back globally and fulfilling a vision that thriving communities deserve access to affordable sustainable healthcare and patient education.
She lives and breathes the idea that people deserve to be served “across the street and around the world” to achieve an optimal self-reliant lifestyle. Volunteer positions as a Physician in Kimana, Kenya, and President and Co-Founder of a 501 (c)(3) Foundation supporting families of patients who are diagnosed with brain altering diseases are examples of how she is living out this vision one day at a time.

NCMA (Nationally Certified Medical Assistant) 2019
Chiropractors are often assumed to address back pain. While we can certainly help with this condition, we look beyond the back. We analyze the nervous system, its response time, and any potential interference it may be experiencing. Pain in the back, neck, or otherwise, stems from the nervous system sending a signal to the brain ‘something is wrong’. It could be as minor as an overworked muscle, but this is the reason for the communication that chiropractors aim to change or correct.
All organs play a crucial role in our overall health and well being, but the brain and its switch board - the nervous system - is the key to proper function throughout the body. Using the brain and nervous system as the body’s communication system, chiropractors are able to pinpoint ailments and treat the cause of a problem instead of just masking symptoms. In this respect, the brain is the organ to which all other body regions function, grow, and blossom.
