Mark Hewitt

Mark Hewitt, DC, serves as an Assistant Professor and Clinician at Logan University, specializing in chiropractic medicine with emphasis on sports-related injuries and transgender healthcare. His clinical and academic work bridges chiropractic practice with specialized patient populations requiring nuanced therapeutic approaches.

Research focuses on critical intersections of musculoskeletal health and identity-specific care:

• Chiropractic management of athletic tendon injuries in transgender patients
• Impact of gender-affirming hormone therapy on musculoskeletal recovery
• Tailored rehabilitation protocols for LGBTQ+ athletes
• Biomechanical adaptations in transgender athletes

His 2024 publication in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine establishes foundational protocols for treating posterior tibialis tendon tears in transgender male athletes undergoing hormone therapy, highlighting altered tissue healing dynamics. This work represents emerging research in identity-informed sports medicine where chiropractic care addresses previously overlooked physiological variables.

Dr. Hewitt actively contributes to clinical education through Logan University's chiropractic programs, with research emphasizing evidence-based adaptations for diverse patient populations in musculoskeletal care.
