Personal Philosophy
"My goal is to assist patients in their
efforts to return their bodies to normal function.
As a chiropractor,
it is my role to reestablish proper nervous system function by altering
the body's biomechanics. Abnormal biomechanical conditions, also
known as 'subluxations', are treated with spinal manipulative therapy
('adjustments'), supplemented by adjunctive modalities, therapeutic
stretches and exercises, as well as counseling in how to modify
daily activities.
My objective
is to help patients understand their original problem and, in doing
so, minimize future injuries."

Treatment Philosophy
• Restore proper body biomechanics in the
muscle, joint, and nervous systems (eliminate "subluxations")
by performing spinal manipulative therapy (SMT)
• Encourage a healthy lifestyle
• Restore optimum health
