Dr. Austin earned his Bachelors of Science degree in Kinesiology from Westmont College in Santa Barbara, CA. He then went on to receive his Doctorate in Chiropractic at Life Chiropractic College West in the San Francisco Bay Area. He graduated with the highest number of adjustments ever given by a student intern in the Life West Health Center, receiving platinum honors with over 800 adjustments (the minimum requirements is 300), and was awarded the clinical excellence award given to just one student per graduating class. Shortly after graduation, Dr. Austin accepted an associate Chiropractor role at The Source Chiropractic in Oakland, CA and has since worked at Community Chiropractic Center in Poway, CA and Harmonize Chiropractic in Charlottesville, VA, before moving to Williamsburg, VA to pursue his dream of starting his own practice and serving his community. In addition to several full spine techniques taught throughout the program. Dr Austin participated in learning outside of the required curriculum to study extremity adjusting, therapeutic taping, instrument assisted protocols, soft tissue stretching as well as the analysis and adjusting of expecting mothers and kids. This unique blend of technique and experience has earned Dr. Austin great opportunities to work with elite extreme sports athletes participating in the Dew Tour and Nitro circus. While practicing mostly diversified and drop table adjustments, Dr Austin is also well versed in low force techniques when needed and Webster Technique for pregnancy and pediatrics.

Living a very active lifestyle, Austin has played a wide range of sports from water polo, baseball, swimming, and collegiate soccer.

Chiropractic
(***INITIAL VISIT/NEW MEMBER***) If you are new to the The Hive Chiropractic this is where you want to start. To start off care together, we'll begin with an initial exam. This provides the opportunity to assess your current state of functionality, get to know each other, and identify your goals. The initial exam will consist of health history, gait and squat analysis, orthopedic and neurological tests, spinal and muscular palpation. Based on this, I will prepare and share a report of findings to recommend next steps towards achieving those goals and a proposed care plan. NOTE: some individuals may require x-rays prior to the start of chiropractic care to ensure the safety of the member.
