Dr. Brian Polvi was attending Oregon State University as a pre-med student. Unfortunately, he suffered an injury to his lower back while playing football. With the injury came several medical doctor visits, and after several months with no improvement one of his friends gave him an idea. His friend referred him to a family member whom was a chiropractor. Dr. Polvi at the time, thought very little of chiropractic care and was hesitant to even try it. After more time and medical visits had passed, he decided to try chiropractic treatment when nothing else was helping recover from his injury. It only took a few chiropractic visits for his condition to resolve. This beneficial experience with chiropractic treatment prompted him to change his career path and he is now the wonderful doctor of chiropractic we know today.
Dr. Polvi has worked as staff chiropractor for several large multi-specialty medical centers, directing the physical therapy and exercise therapy departments while concentrating on workers compensation, sports injury, personal injury and chronic pain patients. Dr. Polvi is a pioneer in the field of soft-tissue dysfunction and the clinics utilize the breakthrough technique of Myodynamic Remodeling® that he developed. The treatment is unique to Absolute Health Center and Physiocare and is utilized when appropriate during patient care.
