Chiropractic: Dr. Sarah Gardner, Chiropractor
B.S. Exercise Science, Concentration in Medical Sciences
Dr. Gardner is a lifelong athlete. She competed in track and field for Ithaca College from 2006-2010 where she studied exercise science with a concentration in medical sciences. While she knew she wanted to work in health care, her experience with injury and rehab as a high school and college athlete left her seeking a different path than traditional western sports medicine. Upon her graduation from IC, Dr. Gardner attended New York Chiropractic College where she graduated magna cum laude with her doctorate in chiropractic medicine and an advanced certificate in sport science and human performance in 2013.
Opening her practice in downtown Ithaca in 2014, Dr. Gardner specializes in the care of athletes, active people, and pregnant women. She provides care for elite level crossfit athletes, professional ironman triathletes, and a variety of college level athletes among others. Because of her background in exercise physiology, she emphasizes both the treatment of the bony joints of the body, but also the muscles and soft tissue, which is often overlooked by chiropractors. She has training in diversified (traditional) chiropractic adjusting, activator technique, active release therapy, trigger point therapy, instrument assisted soft tissue therapies, and a variety of rehabilitative and stretching techniques which allows her to provide patients with a comprehensive treatment plan.
