Dr. Jackson Marten is a passionate and committed chiropractor who recently graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University (NWHSU). His journey into the chiropractic profession began at Augustana University, where he earned his bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science. During his time at NWHSU, Dr. Marten took on a leadership role by leading the university’s chapter of the Rehab2Performance (R2P) club. In this role, he not only introduced younger students to a variety of treatment methods but also expanded their understanding of patient care beyond traditional chiropractic techniques. Through his involvement with R2P, Dr. Marten gained valuable insights into the significance of integrating active care alongside manual therapies, further shaping his approach to patient care.
Dr. Marten’s approach to chiropractic care focuses on not just alleviating pain but also improving overall function and helping patients achieve their individual health and wellness goals. He utilizes a combination of evidence-based treatment modalities, such as joint manipulation, soft-tissue mobilization, and therapeutic exercises. These techniques allow Dr. Marten to address immediate concerns while also creating long-term strategies for improving quality of life and maintaining wellness.
In addition to his foundational training, Dr. Marten has pursued extra-curricular education and certifications in several assessment and treatment techniques, including Active Release Techniques (ART® ), Dry needling, Selective Functional Movement Assessment (SFMA), McKenzie Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy (MDT), Motion Palpation Institute (MPI), Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), Rehab2Performance (R2P), FAKTR, and Graston Technique. These certifications enable him to offer a diverse range of interventions tailored to meet the specific needs of each patient or individual.
When he’s not in clinic, Dr. Marten enjoys staying active by playing golf, volleyball, or engaging in other recreational activities. He frequently enjoys these experiences with his wife, Abbie, who shares his passion for maintaining an active and healthy lifestyle.
