He and his wife, Jene, are proud parents of two daughters and share their home with two Dobermans and a Yorkie/Pomeranian mix, making life both busy and fun. Dr. Elwart attended Life University in Georgia, where he developed a strong foundation in evidence-based chiropractic care and modern treatment approaches. After completing his education, he and Jene made the decision to move back to the community where they grew up to raise their family and open a practice focused on honest, high-quality care.

His goal is simple: to help patients not only feel better quickly, but move better long term, with care that is tailored to their individual needs. Dr. Elwart believes that when patients feel heard, supported, and confident in their care, better outcomes follow—and that principle guides everything he does.
