I was adjusted for the first time when I was 5 years old so it's difficult for me to relate to people who don't understand what chiropractic is or how it can benefit them.  My goal in practice is to relieve the patient's pain as soon as possible and educate them so they can prevent injury in the future.  I believe we are each responsible to obtain & maintain our own health & it's my job to help patients figure out the most effective way to do that.  Health is made up of many factors: proper nutrition, water intake, daily exercise, stress management, proper sleep and having a fulfilling purpose.  Whenever any of these factors are out of balance our health suffers.
