Meet Dr. Troy Ryan, DC, MS
Chiropractor at High Caliber Chiropractic
Dr. Troy Ryan is an evidence-based chiropractor who combines chiropractic care with his background in exercise and sports science to help patients move more comfortably, recover from injuries, and stay active.
His approach is centered around getting to know each patient, understanding what is affecting their movement, and developing care based on their individual needs and goals.
Education & Background
Dr. Ryan earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon. While completing his chiropractic education, he also earned a bachelor’s degree in Human Biology and a master’s degree in Exercise & Sports Science.
Before attending graduate school, Dr. Ryan studied International Business Management at Brigham Young University-Hawaii.
His education in both chiropractic and exercise science has shaped the way he approaches patient care today. Rather than focusing only on where a patient feels pain, he considers movement, activity level, previous injuries, and the physical demands of everyday life.
Experience Working With Athletes
While completing his master’s program and working as a chiropractic intern at the University of Western States, Dr. Ryan had the opportunity to travel to Israel for the 2013 Maccabiah Games.
During the international sporting event, he worked with athletes from around the world and treated a variety of sports-related injuries over the course of two weeks.
The experience allowed him to apply his education in exercise and sports science in a demanding athletic environment. It also strengthened his interest in working with active patients and understanding how injuries can affect movement and performance.
Today, Dr. Ryan continues to draw from that experience when caring for athletes, active adults, and patients who simply want to get back to doing the things they enjoy.
His Approach to Chiropractic Care
Dr. Ryan believes that good chiropractic care begins with listening.
Instead of using the same approach for every patient, he takes the time to understand what someone is experiencing, how it is affecting their daily life, and what they hope to accomplish through care.
Treatment may include chiropractic adjustments along with soft tissue techniques, stretching, mobility work, and other approaches based on the patient’s individual needs.
Just as importantly, Dr. Ryan wants his patients to understand their care. He takes the time to explain what he finds, answer questions, and help patients better understand what may be contributing to the way they feel.
Helping Patients Feel Comfortable in Their Care
Communication is an important part of the patient experience, especially when discussing pain, injuries, and treatment options.
Dr. Ryan is fluent in Spanish and is able to provide care to Spanish-speaking patients in the Denver area in the language they are most comfortable using.
Being able to communicate directly with patients helps create a more comfortable experience and gives patients the opportunity to ask questions and better understand their care.
Outside the Office
Colorado provides plenty of opportunities to stay active, and Dr. Ryan takes advantage of them whenever he can.
When he is not treating patients, he enjoys spending time with his family, playing softball, golfing, mountain biking, hiking some of Colorado’s tallest mountains, boating, and riding motorcycles.
His own active lifestyle is one of the reasons he understands how frustrating it can be when pain or an injury keeps someone from doing what they enjoy.
