ABOUT DR. TREVOR MARUM DC

Dr. Trevor Marum DC is a subluxation-centered chiropractor practicing in the Pacific Northwest. He blends upper cervical work with extremity techniques and neurological therapies to serve a diverse patient base—from newborns to seniors. Formerly a professional athlete and gym owner, he brings a deep reverence for movement, lifestyle, and innate healing.

 

DIVING INTO…

Staying True to Chiropractic Principles

Dr. Marum’s journey into chiropractic was sparked not by a miracle story, but by a deep physical awareness cultivated over years as an elite trainer and athlete. After one life-altering upper cervical adjustment, he knew chiropractic was his calling. He quickly realized that not all chiropractic schools honor the sacred trust or even teach about subluxation. He credits Life West with staying true to the philosophy.

 

The Power of Patient Responsibility

In Dr. Marum’s practice, healing is a shared process. He sets expectations clearly: patients have homework. Whether it’s education, lifestyle changes, or pantry overhauls, his approach helps patients become active participants in their care. This patient ownership is crucial, especially when paired with community-building activities like in-house lectures and Q&A events.

 

Technique Matters: Tools for Every Body

From knee-chest to muscle activation, Dr. Marum believes in mastering a variety of techniques. Why? Because every body is different. He discusses how misaligned ankles can affect skull positioning, or why adjusting babies isn’t the same as adjusting athletes. He tailors his care to the individual, never compromising on the art of the adjustment.

 

Building a Referral-Only Practice

Dr. Marum didn’t rely on marketing gimmicks. Instead, he served powerfully and let results speak for themselves. Taking on complex cases and delivering miracles turned his patients into his greatest advocates. Today, his womb-to-tomb practice is built on trust, transformation, and teaching.

 

CLOSING THOUGHT

“Chiropractic doesn’t cure anything. We simply correct subluxations, and the body does the rest.”
