Helping you to live a pain free life

About Dr. Kauffman

Dr. Kauffman is a Goshen native. He graduated from Fairfield High School in 2009 and went on to study Biology at Indiana University at South Bend. He moved to Iowa to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic where he learned to help people through chiropractic care.

His mission when starting Avad was to serve those who are suffering with joint pain. Encompassing the physical, mental and chemical aspects of health. Avad translated means to serve and we strive to do that with every interaction.

Our approach to joint pain is to find the root cause of your dysfunction and heal the underlying cause while supporting the body with nutritional supplements. We do this through functional lab testing, food intolerance testing and lifestyle changes.

Dr. Kauffman’s journey started when he was young and through his teenage years was sick very often. With no real answers things were left unsolved. Fast forward to his early 20’s and that is where things started showing up in a not so good way. He struggled with brain fog, joint pain, chronic fatigue, food intolerances, joint swelling and cysts throughout his joints.

With seemingly no good answer and many things tried he started his journey towards looking at foods and what he was ingesting in his body. He found food intolerance testing and that was an eye opener. Since then he has radically changed his diet and lifestyle to help his body to heal. “Let food be thy medicine” is a common saying around his home and he chooses those foods based on his trainings in IHP and Dr. Stephen Cabral’s trainings.

In his free time Dr. Kauffman reads a lot of books that range in genre. He loves to spend time outside being in the dirt and gardening and with his chickens. The thing that brings him the most joy is spending time with his wife and kids and the many adventures they go on.
