PEMF (Pulsed Electromagnetic Fields) generates energy at the cellular level and is an amazing soothing and restorative modality. The body’s holistic nature uses PEMF as a catalyst for full-body energy. Our brains use electromagnetic signals to communicate with every bodily system and science has proven that if our cells have enough electrical charge, the body will heal itself!! The body then uses this energy to: Heal and regenerate itself, enhances its natural recovery process, assists with muscle fatigue and discomfort after exercise, increases energy or supports relaxation, and balances the body’s interconnected systems. This is an EXCELLENT addition to scheduling after your chiropractic adjustment or when you just need a little more to get you pushed into the healing state!

As a Midlothian native I look forward to serving Ellis County and the surrounding communities through providing a pathway to better health. I graduated with my Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Parker University Chiropractic College this past August. Before chiropractic school, I attended Harding University where I played baseball and obtained a Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training. Throughout my studies and athletic career, I developed an excitement for working with athletes and wanting to help them perform at their highest potential, injury and pain free. While baseball is my passion, I have worked with athletes of all levels and backgrounds. Chiropractic care provides me the opportunity to help patients gain health and wellness, as well as preventative approaches to maintaining patient health. I believe movement is the key to wellbeing. As once said by Dr. Gray Cook, “First move well, then move often.” I look forward to paving a healthy future together.

Aaron Evans graduated with a Masters of Science in Physical Therapy from the University of Kansas Medical Center in 2003 with a focus on rehabilitation for orthopedic and sports injuries. Before physical therapy school, Aaron attended Pittsburg State University where he earned a bachelors of science in biology with an emphasis in physical science and kinesiology.

Aaron moved to Texas after graduating as he wanted a break from the ice and cold and worked in the north Dallas area until he was able to get back to his smaller town roots and moved to Waxahachie in 2020 where he resides with his wife, Bethany, and their 3 children.

Aaron was born in Parsons, Kansas. As the son of two medical professionals, he always knew that he wanted to work in healthcare and help people. While working in the hospital in high school, he was given the opportunity to observe and interact in the various departments and fell in love with Physical Therapy. In high school, Aaron also discovered a passion for weight lifting and bodybuilding and feels all the minor and sometimes not-so-minor injuries he has incurred and rehabilitated have equipped him well to relate to his patients, understand their injuries, and guide them back to their best life.

Aaron has advanced training in manual therapy through the International Academy of Orthopedic Medicine, as well as, various other certifications including instrument-assisted soft tissue mobilization, The Neufit Method, and is excited to be able to bring various more novel methods and modalities such as extracorporeal shockwave and laser therapy to the practice.
