Dr. Dustin Kniffin founded Spineology Chiropractic with a simple mission: to help people get to the root cause of their health concerns—not just temporarily relieve symptoms. He believes chiropractic care is most effective when every patient is treated as a whole person and every treatment plan is tailored to their unique needs. His goal is to help patients move better, feel better, and live healthier lives through precise, evidence-informed chiropractic care.
Dr. Kniffin earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University before continuing his education with a Master’s in Sports Health Science. Throughout his training, he developed a passion for upper cervical biomechanics and advanced spinal correction, studying the Pierce Results System and pursuing additional certifications to continually refine his skills.
While completing his master’s degree, Dr. Kniffin completed a fellowship caring for collegiate athletes at Life University. He worked alongside athletic trainers treating athletes from basketball, rugby, wrestling, golf, soccer, swimming, track and field, and more—including many competing at the national level. That experience strengthened his understanding of injury recovery, performance, and the importance of individualized care for every patient, from elite athletes to everyday families.
Today, Dr. Kniffin continues to pursue advanced education and believes learning never stops. His passion is helping patients understand why they’re experiencing pain or dysfunction and creating personalized plans that support long-term health—not just short-term relief.
Fun Fact: When he’s not in the office, you’ll usually find Dustin skiing, hiking, boating, or exploring the outdoors with his wife, Miranda. He believes some of life’s best memories are made outside, and he brings that same passion for living well into the care he provides every day.
