About Dr. Steven Tavernaro
Dr. Steven Tavernaro “Dr. Steve” received a Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic Main Campus in Davenport, accompanied by a Master of Science in Psychology. Through personal experience, Dr. Tavernaro gravitates toward patient care with an emphasis on manual adjusting, trigger point therapy, and targeted exercises addressing the root of pathology. He believes chiropractic physicians help people heal in addition to identifying and adapting the necessary tools and knowledge patients require to empower themselves-feeling even better than they did pre-injury. Dr. Steve began the study of human biomechanics through the lens of chiropractic philosophy to better understand the cause of pathology and biomechanical dysfunction. Dr. Tavernaro has received additional training in Blair (upper cervical technique), Atlas Orthogonal (upper cervical technique), Cox Flexion Distraction, Thompson technique, Gonstead technique, Toggle technique, Palmer package, NIMMO, Activator, and soft tissue extremities management.
Dr. Tavernaro moved back to Missouri in 2020 after serving as a DoD contractor in various locations across the United States. His last assignment in Colorado amplified a love of mountains and the outdoors. Dr. Steve often spends free time hiking, altitude SCUBA diving, skiing, hunting, and mountain biking. Most importantly, he enjoys watching his children grow and equally embrace a love of learning and the outdoors. Dr. Steve provided chiropractic services in Columbia, Missouri, from 2020 to 2024 and opened a private practice in fall 2024 in Fulton, Missouri. Dr. Tavernaro is a current member of the International Chiropractic Association, Missouri Chiropractic Physicians Association, Knights of Columbus – Sir Knight, and Fulton Chamber of Commerce.
