Dr. Ferdowsian

Meet chiropractor, Dr. Ferdowsian of Governor’s Park Chiropractic. I became a chiropractor because I enjoy helping people achieve the life they want. I know that pain and discomfort can prevent a person from enjoying sports and hobbies, time with family and friends, exercise, and even working to pay the bills. My extensive education has made it possible for me to help people like you get back on your feet and back to doing the things you love doing.

It all began at Cleveland Chiropractic College in Kansas City, Missouri. While there, I studied Diversified, Thompson Drop Table, Gonstead, SOT, Flexion Distraction, and Biophysics techniques. Basically, this means I can adjust you in a lot of different ways. I also completed my acupuncture certification while in school. I have found that most of my patients respond very well to a combination of acupuncture and chiropractic, especially for pain relief. I came to Denver in 2003 after graduating and started my practice. Since graduation, I have completed post-graduate training in extremity diagnosis and treatment, earning the title Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner, or CCEP. This additional education has helped me specialize in treating and preventing injuries to the muscles and bones that aren’t part of the spine, such as the knees, ankles, shoulders, and wrists. I have also completed post-graduate training in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of sports injuries, earning the title Diplomate of the American Chiropractic Board of Sports Physicians, DACBSP®. I understand that my diverse patient base exhibits very different needs. In response, I will continue to further my education allowing me the ability to offer a wide range of treatment options. My future education goals include obtaining my diplomate in sports medicine and in pediatrics.

I believe in treating the whole body. Through chiropractic care, acupuncture, massage, good nutrition, and exercise, I strive to achieve good health for all of my patients, not just an absence of symptoms. If you have any questions about chiropractic care and how it relates to the health of you and your family, I welcome the opportunity to speak with you.

Jessica Ferdowsian

I was born in Chicago and have been slowly moving west ever since!  I absolutely love Denver.  The weather is amazing here and the people are so wonderful.  I have felt at home from the first day I lived here.  I am married to Dr. Ferdowsian and we have five beautiful children – Tristan, Makenzie, Gwyneth, Fiona and Declan.  Because of my rambunctious children, I mainly work from home so you won’t see my face in the office very much.  But I am here to answer your questions or offer any help you need.  Although I don’t have much, when I am able to find some free time I love spending it outdoors with my kids or knitting.

Emily Sutherland

Emily has always had a passion to help and heal. She first started down the path of becoming a nurse but had discomfort with many Western medicine practices. It was due to this that she then committed herself to becoming a health nut. She is now part life/relationship coach, foodie, exploratory chef and sexual guidance counselor. This inquisitive search lead her to the Nutrition Therapy Institute; the nation’s leading private school in nutrition, involving over 600 hours of intensive coursework. Imagine studying for over 3 hours on Vitamin C alone!  She wrote her senior thesis on the decline of testosterone in men, which further ignited her fire to understand hormonal balance. Emily graduated with a 4.0 GPA and completed her Masters. She is eager to impact lives at the root of all health, NUTRITION!
