Dr. Benjamin J. Visger

Osteopathic Physician (DO)

About Dr. Visger

Dr. Visger was born and raised on the Muskegon River and calls the lakeshore his home. He earned his baccalaureate of science in psychology in 2007 and doctorate of medicine from Michigan State University in 2011. Following that, he completed his specialty residency in neuromusculoskeletal medicine and osteopathic manipulative medicine at Mercy Health in 2014. He served as core faculty in that training program for two years, during which time he worked alongside Dr. Paul Dyball and trained Drs. Kyle McDonald and Madeline Ginn. The most important part of his medical work began with opening this private practice on Labor Day 2016. Dr. Visger also hosts medical education workshops and teaches at medical conferences across the state to improve the way doctors diagnose and treat pain. Hundreds of physicians and thousands of patients have already benefited from this mission! In the few remaining waking hours after all such endeavors have come to rest, Dr. Visger explores music, storytelling, and the countless possibilities of a better world.

Treatment with Dr. Visger

Dr. Visger has developed a precise, deep-working technique to relieve some of the most difficult areas of pain. It feels like a focused pressure that “hurts good” but is much more advanced and effective than massage. It works by breaking down deep restrictions and reconnecting injured tissue fibers to restart healing. He also employs a wide range of lighter techniques when deep tissue restriction is not the main problem or when the patient is too sensitive for deep pressure.

The best way to learn about our techniques is to experience them. If you are anxious or have had bad experiences with manual treatments in the past, you are in great hands! We will modify our techniques to suit you and will never treat you without consent.

Benjamin Visger, Kyle McDonald, and Madeline Ginn. He joined our team in 2018 to focus entirely on patient care. Dr. Dyball loves the Wolverines and spending as much time in the Michigan summer sun as possible!

Treatment with Dr. Dyball

Dr. Dyball is highly-skilled in a variety of techniques aimed at improving motion and relieving painful tension without force. He can move the body into specific positions to release targeted joints, muscles, and nerves safely and effectively. His style is influenced by the late Dr. Richard Huff who trained him personally and mentored him for years after.

Kate

Kate is the primary referral specialist for all of our offices as well as part of the front desk team in Muskegon. If you are referred by your doctor, you will probably end up talking with her! Because of these things, she is one of the main faces of our office and connected with most of what happens here. This gives her a great opportunity to build positive relationships with our patients and team. She loves concerts and traveling, the latter meaning anything outside Ravenna. Perhaps one day she will even visit Stars Hollow! Along such journeys, Kate likes collecting mugs. Where she puts them all, no one knows!

Emma

About Emma
Emma is the front desk heroine of Muskegon, having to slide the window open and closed at least one hundred times a day. She loves seeing the change in patients before and after treatment.
