A Lifelong Athlete, Now Helping Others Move Better
Before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Duchene competed in college lacrosse, played rugby and ran marathons. He has years of combat sport experience, even competing in the steel cage. All of this has gaven him first hand experience with the physical demands, injuries, and recovery process that athletes face at every level.
He earned his Bachelor of Science in Human Biology from Michigan State University, then went on to complete his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa — one of the most respected chiropractic programs in the country.

A Performance-Focused Foundation
A Decade in Strength & Conditioning
Before focusing fully on chiropractic care, Dr. Duchene spent more than ten years as a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS), giving him a deep, practical understanding of how the body builds strength, moves under load, and breaks down under poor mechanics — knowledge that still shapes how he evaluates and treats every patient today.
How I Practice
A Real Diagnosis, Not a Quick Adjustment
Every patient who walks through the door gets the same thing: a thorough evaluation, a clear explanation of what's actually going on, and a treatment plan built around their specific findings, not a generic protocol.
Dr. Duchene sees every patient personally at every visit. No techs, no assistants performing your care, just direct, hands-on treatment from start to finish.
