Meet the Doctor

Dr C.Tyrel Hummel

Dr. Hummel has been an athlete his whole life and understands first hand the importance of injury rehabilitation and prevention.

As an All-Conference Defensive Back while playing football at Abilene Christian University in Abilene, TX, his body experienced the typical sports related injuries as well as the constant rigors of training, recovery and rehab that is required by a college athlete.

This process initiated Dr. Hummel's quest to find 'the truth' in the human body's ability to recover at a higher speed than usual and also began the research as to why some athletes seemed to be more injury prone than others?

Although his college injury list and severity could raise an eyebrow or two, Dr. Hummel took advantage of the preventative measures that were at his disposal, and as a result, never missed a practice or a game throughout his college career.

His in-depth training in Strength & Conditioning, Human Anatomy, Biomechanics and mentorships, under more seasoned health care providers with multiple disciplines, helped shape Dr. Hummel's clinical approach to finding this "truth".

Nothing brings more satisfaction to Dr. Hummel than assisting a patient through their recovery/prevention process and then watching them push their limits while having fun doing it!
