PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY
“My ultimate goal in practice is to help patients get pain free, get moving, a nd get well again not just for the duration of their treatment, but also for life by creating evidence based and patient centered treatment plans. I believe that by integrating chiropractic spinal manipulation, clinical massage, exercise rehabilitation, nutritional counseling, ergonomic counseling, acupuncture and lifestyle health education I can drastically decrease pain levels, improve patient health and promote not only temporary pain relief but also an entire lifetime of health and vitality. I like to teach my patients to not only be healthy, but to thrive. I am extremely passionate about my profession and really enjoy working with all of my patients, from my 3 year olds to my 86 year olds and everyone in between. I believe that healthcare should be conversational. Let’s talk about your health, explore your options and get you feeling better.”
