 At this site you'll find some history about my office, myself and the services I provide.

Unlike other chiropractors, I don't like to advertise. I grow my practice mostly by patients referrals and word -of- mouth. For me most important is the quality of care I can offer to my patients and not the quantity of patients that walk into my office.

Why should I go to a chiropractor?

For those of you who say, "But I have no pain at all".   Chiropractic is NOT just neck & back pain. I visit  the dentist every 6 months for a teeth cleaning. I have the oil in my car changed every 3000 miles. No one tells me to, I just have it done. WHY? Because we are supposed to. Chiropractic care is the same way. We all want to have strong and healthy teeth and a strong running automobile....why not a strong nervous system and body? Don't we want that too?.  People associate chiropractic care with pain relief from neck and back discomfort, and even headaches, but chiropractic goes a lot farther than that - it's called PREVENTION. Yes, preventative care. Chiropractic can help to keep your nervous system functioning at its best, so you never develop those aches and pains. Wouldn't be a smart idea not to WAIT until the pain comes?

I don't even have any neck or lower back pain!

That is great, and I am glad for you...but my statement to you is, that is TODAY. RIGHT NOW. Symptoms (pain) are your body's way of telling you that you have a health problem, but by the time we have pain, the condition that caused it is farther advanced. Fortunately, chiropractic care can isolate, find, and detect problems you may be developing before you even know its happening. We hear about people getting diagnosed with cancer, diabetes, heart disease, etc. What most of us do not realize is that these conditions did not happen overnight. NO. It was days, months, years, and even DECADES of abuse to our body - physical, dietary, or otherwise. These conditions are diagnosed BECAUSE a symptom(s) occurred. The  problem is, we always wait. We wait. And, we wait.
