About the Doctors

I was introduced to chiropractic at a young age after suffering an injury at gymnastics camp.  I remember being very nervous about going in for the first time, but left completely pain free, and soon set upon my path to becoming a chiropractor. 

We have been practicing here since 2002 and I truly feel blessed to be able to do what I do every day and simply take care of my patients and feel just as blessed to have raised our five children in such a great community.

When people ask what we do, I say we keep people's bodies healthier and 'younger', help them recover from injury, and keep them moving so they can enjoy life to their maximum physical abilities.  We use our therapies (chiropractic, acupuncture, massage therapy, physical rehab, ultrasound, e-stim, etc) by themselves or mix them  in combinations that fit what the person needs because everyone is unique. Every person's background, health history, preferred therapies and current health lifestyle has a significant impact on how we decide what will work best for them.  We do not employ one size fits all plans.  It's not a 'mill' here, you wont see a line of people hopping on tables in an open room and getting 3 minutes with us.  We take our time and provide high level individual care. 

I have utilized our services to treat a bit of an injury list; ruptured discs in both my neck and lower back, a torn rotator cuff, and a significant knee injury. These experiences provided me with invaluable insight into providing better care. 

Personally, we have 5 kids that made parenting easy;  a nurse, an Olympian / professional beach volleyball player, a dental school student, a cyber-security student, and another volleyball player in her senior year of high school who at this point intends on joining us here one day!
