Dowell Chiropractic


At Dowell Chiropractic we believe in listening to our patients, having open dialogue, and encourage patients to take an active role in the decision making process for their own care. Rather than telling you what you HAVE to do we ask you what you WANT to do. 


We believe that during treatments, the patient should be educated by their doctor in order to be able to maintain maximum flexibility and pain-free living long after our work ends.


We have successfully worked with all types of injuries and we work on patients of any age. We are a full body treatment office meaning that we can help with any part of the body that is concerning you including feet, knees, shoulders, and elbows. 


Dowell Chiropractic is the ONLY chiropractor in the NRV that offers ART (active release techniques), Ultrasound Therapy, and soft shelled Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy.


We truly believe EVERYONE can benefit from seeing a chiropractor at least once a month - but of course, you're always welcome to come and go as you please. Your care is entirely up to you!

About Dr. Steven Dowell


Originally from the Seattle–Tacoma area, I discovered my passion for chiropractic after sustaining injuries while playing high school sports. Experiencing firsthand how effective chiropractic care can be in restoring function and improving performance led me to pursue this profession. That path took me to Palmer College of Chiropractic West in San Jose, California, where I earned my Doctor of Chiropractic degree. During my time there, I was honored to be named in Who’s Who Among Students in American Colleges and Universities.

Athletics have always been a major part of my life. I was a collegiate rower and continue to challenge myself through weightlifting and running — including completing four marathons. My background in competitive sports has shaped my approach to care and deepened my commitment to helping others live and perform at their best.


After chiropractic school, I began my career in the Washington, D.C. metro area, where I opened my first practice and gained valuable experience caring for a diverse, high-demand patient population. After getting married, I moved to Christiansburg to build a life closer to family - and this community has felt like home from day one.

Over the past 15 years in Christiansburg, Virginia, I have had the privilege of working with patients of all ages and activity levels — from weekend warriors to top-tier competitors. My clinical experience includes treating professional and amateur athletes across various sports, including NFL players as well as Ironman and Olympic triathletes. I was also voted Best Bedside Manner in the NRV by Roanoke Magazine, a recognition I value deeply as patient comfort and trust are central to my practice philosophy.

Outside the clinic, my greatest joy is my family. My wife and I are proud parents of two wonderful children, one of whom is autistic — a part of our life experience that continually reinforces my empathy, patience, and advocacy for individualized care.

Every day, I’m grateful for the opportunity to help my community move better, feel better, and get back to the things they love.
