Meet Dr. Donovan Olivo of ASFCA.
Dr. Donovan grew up in Southbridge, Massachusetts where he developed an early interest in healthcare after spraining his ankle and getting a concussion through sports injuries. The doctors and physical therapists made it known that their care for patients was dedicated for each case specifically.
Originally going down the path of a physical therapist, Dr. Olivo found himself an opportunity visiting a chiropractic office for an internship towards the end of his undergraduate degree. After graduating from BYU-Idaho with a Bachelor’s degree in Exercise Physiology, Dr. Olivo studied Chiropractic at Logan University, in Chesterfield, MO. He went on to gain valuable experience working in the Women’s Health Center and general health at the Montgomery Health Center at Logan University, which further deepened his understanding of patient care. Wanting to take a more proactive and holistic approach to health, Dr. Olivo decided to pursue acupuncture as one of the electives offered at Logan University and he plans to have his Board Certification for Acupuncture later this year.

Ouch….🚨This is what a real herniated disc looks like.
See that? The disc material is bulging out and pushing directly into the spinal canal, crushing the nerves and spinal cord.
➡️ Here’s what’s actually happening:
Your intervertebral discs are supposed to be shock absorbers between your vertebrae.But when the tough outer layer weakens or tears, the soft inner gel squirts out — creating a herniation.
➡️ Once it herniates:
• It invades the spinal canal
• Compresses nerve roots or the spinal cord
• Disrupts normal nerve signals
This isn’t “just back pain.”
It’s mechanical compression of your nervous system.
➡️ As it progresses, you can get:
→ Shooting pain down your arms or legs
→ Numbness or tingling
→ Muscle weakness
→ Loss of normal function
➡️ Bottom line:
A herniated disc is a structural problem that directly affects neurologic function.
Save this if you or someone you know deals with disc issues.

Sometimes it does both, but the most important part of Chiropractic is having a well functioning spine and nervous system, so your body can heal itself more efficiently!
