DC, DACNB, FIAMA, FAARM — Functional Neurology & Chiropractic Expert

The co-founder of The Dearing Clinic, Dr. Justin Dearing is a functional neurologist and chiropractor with 12 years of experience in observational diagnosis and treatment. After realizing that adjusting the spine as a standalone therapy was not enough to fully correct chronic problems that kept showing up in chiropractic practices, he refined evidence-based therapies and diversified his clinical strategic approach to provide the best possible experience for his patients.​​

“I’ve dedicated my life’s work to finding solutions for patients with difficult-to-solve health conditions and know that the foundation of health and longevity is truly simple: Regaining your health requires rebuilding and maintaining whole brain and body resilience.”

He holds a doctorate in chiropractic, a diplomate in clinical neurology, fellowships in acupuncture and restorative herbal medicine. This diversified multi-disciplinary background allows him to apply the best unique patient-focused combination of manual musculoskeletal, neurological, regenerative, and metabolic therapies. With a background in clinical Neurology, Traditional Chinese Medicine, and chiropractic care, his approach is to diagnose the whole person first, thus treating individual issues more effectively and efficiently.
