Dr. Ethan Marler

Chiropractor with a Passion! – Riverbend Chiropractic & Wellness

Hi, I’m Dr. Ethan Marler, a Chiropractor with a passion for helping people move more confidently and live pain‐free. In the clinic, I will work with you to deliver personalized, evidence‐based care – combining manual therapies, thoughtful at home progressions, and practical education – to address root causes and build long‐term resilience.

I believe treatment plans should be evidence‐based and personalized, where your goals lead us; the research guides us; and we look beyond the symptoms to address the patterns driving the pain or performance limits.

Treatment plans should match what you want most – whether that’s finishing a 10K, returning from an injury, or simply moving without pain. You should walk out of each appointment feeling in control of your progress, with a clear understanding of what is going on and the next steps in our actionable strategy.

While I grew up going to a chiropractor for my athletic injuries, the first time I really considered becoming one myself was in my high school Sports Medicine class, sparking a fascination with human movement and anatomy. That led to my undergraduate studies in Kinesiology at the University of Alberta, where I earned early acceptance into the University of Western States (UWS) Chiropractic program in Portland, Oregon. At UWS, I completed my Bachelor of Science in Human Biology and got my Doctor of Chiropractic (DC).

Born and raised in Sherwood Park, I grew up playing hockey, basketball, track & field, and cross‐country, but playing soccer was my real passion and I played competitively until leaving for school in Portland.

When I’m not in the clinic, you’ll find me and Macie (my Golden) on the field, weight training, running, playing video games, or anxiously watching the Edmonton Oilers.
