Dr. Aubrianna Hyer attended Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, where she earned a Bachelor of Science in Exercise Science. She went on to receive her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Parker College of Chiropractic and a Master of Science in Clinical Neurology. In addition to her graduate education, Dr. Hyer has completed over 150 hours of post-doctorate training in functional neurology, with a focus on pediatric brain development and neurological rehabilitation. Her capstone research examined the connection between ADHD and eye movement patterns, shaping her clinical approach to attention, learning, and behavior in both children and adults.

Dr. Hyer’s post-doctorate studies have emphasized the assessment and treatment of neurological dysfunction across a wide spectrum—from developmental delays and ADHD to concussion and stroke recovery. She integrates chiropractic adjustments, neurorehabilitation exercises, and functional movement therapies to support brain and body healing. In the clinic, she also incorporates emotional release techniques and targeted exercise to address trauma, injury, and performance challenges with a whole-person lens.

In addition to her neurology work, Dr. Hyer uses functional medicine to support patients dealing with gut dysfunction, food intolerances, hormone imbalances, and menstrual issues. During her chiropractic education, she spent over a year teaching functional neurology to fellow doctoral students—a role that continues to shape her passion for education and her ability to guide patients through complex health challenges with clarity and compassion.

Dr. Hyer was raised in the Heber Valley and is proud to serve the community she grew up in. Outside of the clinic, she enjoys trail running, road and mountain biking, and fishing with her husband. She is known for her honest, individualized approach to care and her dedication to helping each patient feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.
