Dr. Ryan Lesik
Dr. Ryan is a 2022 graduate of Northeast College of Health Sciences (formerly New York Chiropractic College). Throughout his time in graduate school, he was inducted into the Phi Chi Omega Honor Society, received the Dean’s Recognition of Achievement Award for outstanding performance on national board exams, and was selected for an 8-week clinical internship at the Buffalo VA Medical center, working directly with military veterans in a multidisciplinary care setting.
Before going on to chiropractic college, he earned a bachelor’s degree in Exercise Science from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), along with the coveted Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) credential awarded by the National Strength and Conditioning Association in 2019.
Prior to relocating to Charlotte and joining the Movement Spine and Sport team in November of 2024, Dr. Ryan owned and operated Evolved Chiropractic & Rehab, located in his hometown of Greensburg, Pennsylvania. Here, he successfully helped dozens of active adults overcome setbacks and limitations by blending numerous hands-on therapeutic techniques with customized exercise prescriptions aimed to restore proper movement patterns and reduce the risk of future re-injury.
Outside of the clinic, Dr. Ryan has been involved in competitive powerlifting for nearly a decade and possesses extensive knowledge in the fields of human biomechanics, program design, and nutrition. The integration of his academic background, first hand experience as an athlete, and unwavering passion for helping others are what allow him to best understand and serve his patients.
