Evan Grunder, DC

Dr. Evan Grunder, DC earned his Bachelor of Arts degree at Binghamton University and his Doctorate of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College. He also earned an advanced certificate in Sport Science and Human Performance from New York Chiropractic College, and is certified in Activator Methods (a low-force adjusting technique) and ConnecTx therapy (a form of instrument-assisted soft tissue manipulation).

To Dr. Grunder, the most fulfilling part of being a chiropractor is seeing patients leave his office feeling better than when they arrived.

In his spare time, Dr. Grunder is an avid fan of the New York Giants and Yankees and enjoys experimenting in the kitchen, creating healthier versions of classic recipes.

Benefits of Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique

  1. Gentle & Precise Adjustments
    • Uses a handheld instrument to deliver low-force, targeted impulses to specific joints.

    • Ideal for patients who prefer a non-manual, gentle approach—including seniors, children, and those with osteoporosis.

  2. Reduces Pain & Inflammation

    • Realigns the spine and joints to relieve back pain, neck pain, and headaches.

  3. Improves Nervous System Function

    • Restores proper communication between the brain and body by removing nerve interference.

  4. Quick & Comfortable Treatments

    • Fast, painless adjustments that don’t require twisting or cracking.

Benefits of ConnecTx Therapy (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization)

  1. Breaks Down Scar Tissue & Fascial Restrictions

    • Uses specialized tools to mobilize soft tissues, improving movement and reducing chronic stiffness or pain.

  2. Enhances Healing & Circulation

    • Stimulates blood flow to injured or overused tissues, promoting faster recovery.

  3. Improves Mobility & Function

    • Increases range of motion and reduces muscular tension, often used for sports injuries or post-surgical rehab.
