Dr.
Travis Davis – Norfolk
After graduating from Virginia
Tech in 1994 with a Bachelor of Science in Exercise
Physiology, he enrolled at Sherman College to
further his education and cement his career
path. Upon graduating and becoming a Doctor
of Chiropractic in December of 1998 and receiving
his Virginia License in February 1999, Dr. Davis
decided to settle in the Tidewater area and
took an associate position in Norfolk. The experience
of serving many practice members in this capacity
proved invaluable and gave him the confidence
to found Active Wellness Chiropractic, circa
May, 2003. It is here that Dr. Davis honors
Virginia Tech's motto, Ut Prosim. "That
I may serve." He has cared for infants
as young as one week old to practice members
in their 90's. The nervous system is responsible
for all bodily activity and will produce optimal
bodily function if given the chance to work
without interference. This simple truth drives
Dr. Davis to teach as many people as possible
about their chiropractic options and provide
those services to those who so choose. In November
of 2007, Dr. Davis decided to further expand
his practice by joining forces with Virginia
Wellness Associates as they expand into the
Hampton Roads area. In his off time, he enjoys
almost all forms of exercise, plays "at"
golf and is an avid Hokie fan.
