Dr. Ashley Fox, DC, MS, CCSP, FACMUAP

Chiropractic Sport Physician

Dr. Fox serves as the Motor City Rockers Chiropractic Sport Physician.

Born and raised just north of Hockeytown, in Port Huron, Michigan, Dr. Ashley Fox developed a love and passion for hockey and has dedicated her career to serving those who love and play the sport. Dr. Fox graduated from Hope College, where she was on the varsity cheer and track & field team, with a Bachelor of Science degree in exercise science & psychology with an emphasis on athletic training. She then worked with the Detroit Lions and Detroit Tigers for a season before she worked for the Port Huron Prowlers for four years.

Wanting to further develop her skills in helping and treating these athletes, Dr. Fox obtained her Master of Science in sports science and rehabilitation, and Doctor of Chiropractic from Logan University. While at Logan University, she also interned as a strength and conditioning coach under retired Boston Bruins player and current owner and strength conditioning coach at RIPT Hockey, Jeff LoVecchio. Here she was able to learn and assist in the offseason, preseason, and in season training of hockey players at the U18 tier 1 AAA, D1, and NHL levels.

After graduation, Dr. Fox knew there was no better community to serve than Hockeytown itself in Metro Detroit, where she specializes in treating all athletes from the weekend warrior to professional athletes, helping them with rehabilitation, injury prevention, and achieving optimal performance levels.

Dr. Fox is excited to be the official team doctor of the Motor City Rockers in partnership with Insight, using her skills developed as an athletic trainer and chiropractic sports physician to serve all those looking to improve their overall function and game.
