He uses soft tissue techniques such as myofascial release, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, and transverse friction massage in combination with chiropractic adjusting to provide relief from both chronic and acute injuries.

He earned his Exercise Science degree at UM. Dr. Ogden approaches each patient as a unique problem and tailors his treatment plans specifically for that individual. In office, he uses chiropractic adjusting, proprioceptive neuromuscular facilitation, myofascial release, transverse friction, and muscle facilitation techniques that aid in his patients’ rehabilitation.
