Dr. Dockery founded Life in Motion Chiropractic with a straightforward conviction: that patients deserve a provider who takes the time to understand their specific situation, explains what’s actually happening in plain language, and builds a treatment plan with clear, measurable goals rather than an indefinite course of adjustments.

His training in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) — a methodology developed at the Prague School of Rehabilitation — shapes how every patient is evaluated. DNS provides a framework for assessing the deep stabilization patterns that govern how the body moves and loads under stress. When these patterns break down — as they do in virtually every chronic musculoskeletal condition — treating the symptom alone reliably produces temporary relief. Identifying and correcting the underlying pattern is what produces lasting results.

In practice, this means Dr. Dockery’s evaluations go deeper than standard chiropractic assessments. He looks at how the whole kinetic chain is functioning — not just where it hurts — and the treatment plan reflects those findings directly. Every patient receives take-home rehabilitation exercises, demonstrated in-office and accessible anytime through the Rehab Exercise Library, because progress happens between visits, not only during them.

What patients consistently say about Dr. Dockery is that he listens, teaches, and genuinely cares — and that the measurable improvement they experience is real. Read patient testimonials →

Outside of patient care, Dr. Dockery continues his education through ongoing postgraduate training and maintains active engagement with advances in chiropractic technique and sports rehabilitation. The same curiosity that drives his clinical work — appreciating interesting cases, never stopping learning — is the reason patients consistently describe their care as unlike what they’ve experienced elsewhere.
