Dr. Trembush
"I don't cure anything!" That's what Dr. Trembush's first chiropractor told him. He had suffered with pain through high school and college sports. Medication offered no help. " I simply apply a specific adjustment and your body can cure itself. I just remove the interference to its ability to heal."
So for Dr. Trembush, a career in chiropractic began because of the ease in which it helped his pain. "I'll never forget that first adjustment. It was like that pain and pressure was trying to get out of my body but just needed a little help. That is when I knew I would be a chiropractor."
That soon grew into an understanding that chiropractic is more than a means of relief. It is a way to live a more productive, satisfying, and meaningful life. Read more
Dr. Trembush earned his first B.S. degree at Allegheny College in Meadville, PA. After completing his study there, he was accepted at The National University of Health Sciences in Chicago, IL. During his four years at National, courses included biochemistry, a major emphasis on anatomy and human physiology, X-ray, diagnosis, chiropractic adjusting techniques and patient care in the National Public Clinic. After graduating, Dr. Trembush helped grow a successful practice in the Chicagoland area before returning West Virginia to establish his practice.
"We love skeptics," smiles Dr. Trembush. "I still remember the concerns and apprehension I had when I went to the chiropractor for the first time. So we make it a point to explain everything in advance, answer questions and attempt to over-communicate. Before any treatments begin, we discuss the cause of the problem, detailed treatment plan, and any pertinent insurance benefits information. Patients appreciate that."
Dr. Trembush lives in Morgantown with his wife, April and three daughters, Karsyn Josie and Evyn. Outside of the clinic, his main passion is spending time with his family and his English Mastiff, Judge. He enjoys the outdoors and still loves football.
Dr. Trembush receives an adjustment a few times every month. He appreciates the importance of dietary supplementation for health so he and his family take pharmaceutical grade multivitamins and omega 3 fatty acids daily. By staying active, monitoring the amount of toxins he is exposed to, and staying well adjusted, Dr. Trembush knows that even on the rare occasion that he does get sick, his body can recover without turning to medication. Ask him how you can have this confidence in your body.
"Thanks for visiting our site. I hope it can be a source of hope and healing. I look forward to meeting you in person and learning how we may be of service to you. Give our Morgantown office a call, or email me using the link below and let's arrange a time to explore your options."
