When Dr. Stef is out of the office, she enjoys spending time with her husband, Steve, and children, Cooper and Grayson. Homeschooling, exercising, reading, farmers markets, traveling, and personal/business development are her favorite pastimes!
Dr. Stefanie is one of the first North Port Chiropractors to specialize in Pediatric and Prenatal care and is certified in the Webster Technique. She has a deep connection and passion for family care, pediatrics, and also pre-natal and post-natal mothers. The first misalignment to a person’s spine occurs during the birthing process, so it is vital to get every child’s spine examined for subluxation.
Dr. Stefanie has created a chiropractic clinic where her patients are educated and understand the value of natural chiropractic care. Evolve Chiropractic is a state-of-the-art facility utilizing advanced diagnostic tools, digital x-rays, and advanced certified adjusting techniques such as Torque Release Technique, and Webster Technique.
Dr. Stefanie received her undergraduate degree from the State University of New York College at Oneonta where she majored in dietetics and philosophy with a minor in personal training and leadership education and development. She continued her studies at New York Chiropractic College where she completed her Doctorate of Chiropractic and Masters of Science in Applied Clinical Nutrition and graduated with honors.
Dr. Stefanie Ascher is a wellness expert and uses a whole person approach when educating and empowering others on their health and wellness journey. She values the principles of chiropractic, and seeking the cause of symptoms rather than covering them up. By aligning the vertebra and removing interference to the nervous system, the body can heal, grow, and thrive. Using this unique approach, Dr. Stefanie is able to help others accelerate and/or maintain their journey to good health by making lifestyle adjustments that are needed to optimize the conditions for normal function to get the most out of life!

Thanks to chiropractic care, Steve now enjoys everyday activities he cherishes, such as golfing, engaging with his children, and relishing beach outings, free from the looming dread of migraines. Eager to share his transformative experience, he serves as a living testament to the profound impact chiropractic care can have on individuals' lives, offering hope to those grappling with headaches and migraines. Steve is deeply committed to assisting others in liberating themselves from dependency on prescriptions and embracing a happier, healthier lifestyle.
Despite undergoing numerous tests and trying various prescription medications for his migraines, Steve found no relief. It wasn't until February 2018 that he embarked on a journey of consistent neurologically based chiropractic adjustments. Under a specialized care plan, he experienced a remarkable reduction in migraine frequency, from occurring 1-2 times a month to just once a year.
Steve, a native of Cutchogue, New York, has been immersed in athletics since his formative years. With a passion ingrained from childhood, he actively participated in baseball, basketball, soccer, and hockey. Steve boasts a distinguished career as a former professional baseball player, having represented the Tampa Bay Rays and Colorado Rockies organizations. However, the rigors of athletic endeavors took a toll on his physical well-being, leading to chronic low back pain and debilitating migraines.
