Dr. Knoyer practices as an evidence-guided provider. Evidence-based medicine is the constant evolution of learning, changing, and implementing new information into practice as it becomes available. This lets him provide a more precise assessment, diagnosis, treatment, and reduction in therapy time. This process has led to the path of functional medicine.
​
The main goal is to address each person as an individual with different needs, professions, activities, sports, etc., to formulate goals necessary to resolve the patient’s complaint(s). The necessary time is taken to establish a detailed history, physical examination, functional tests, movement screening, treatment plan, and goals for each patient. The goal is to educate each patient on what caused the injury, show them how to remove the patterns that created it, and the necessary therapy to resolve the condition.
​
Dr. Knoyer has been invited to the National Institutes of Health (NIH) multiple times as a reviewer making him one of a few chiropractors in the country to be invited.
