Who We Serve

We serve people of all ages who are suffering with pain or illness of any kind and those not performing at their peak.  Those who are looking for a powerful non-drug, non-surgical approach to overcoming pain and illness or to maximize their experience of well being while preventing future health loss. 

The people who have appreciated us the most have been those with pain and diminishing health who have had various drugs or treatments thrown at them sporadically in an effort to bring some relief but have needed the thorough evaluation and clear game plan we have provided.

A key mindset our patients have in common is a real commitment to being at their best.

They fall into the following three general categories:


Those Suffering With Back
(Musculoskeletal) Pain

This includes all of the conditions and symptoms typically associated with chiropractic. Low back pain, mid to upper back or rib pain, neck pain and headaches. You might also experience pain, numbness, tingling or burning in the following areas: shoulder / arm / wrist / hand or hip / leg / knee / ankle /foot. These complaints are often connected with neck or low back spinal conditions.  

Do any of the following situations seem familiar to you?

  • You were in a “minor” rear-end automobile accident months or even years ago but seemed to be fine after a short period of pain treated with medication and / or physical therapy. Recently, however, you have been experiencing neck tension or stiffness. You may also be noticing pain between your shoulder blades, or numbness/tingling into your arms or hands. The number of pain pills to get you through the day or to sleep at night seems to be increasing.
  • You suffered a lifting injury to your low back last summer that has been up and down but certainly hasn’t returned to normal.  You tried a chiropractor that didn’t seem to solve the problem and you hated getting your back “popped” anyway.
  • You sit for hours at your computer and lately have been getting more headaches.  Last month you were diagnosed with fibromyalgia and carpal tunnel syndrome because of ongoing neck/shoulder pain and tenderness and pain in your forearms and wrists.  You have a diagnosis but aren’t convinced that a real solution has been clarified.

We achieve powerful results with these painful and potentially debilitating conditions because rather than treating the symptoms, we uncover and correct the underlying spine and nervous system cause.

Those Suffering With Non-Back Pain and Diseases / Illnesses of All Varieties

Chiropractic is not a treatment for these medical conditions. However, the correction of the spinal/ nervous system interference is resulting in improved self-healing and significant quality of life enhancements. This is being demonstrated through increasing research, reports of hundreds to thousands of my patients over the last 20 + years as well as those of other doctors and my own family experience. There are many specifics in this category. The following are three examples:

Immune System Dysfunction:

  • You or your children may be suffering from an increasing frequency or severity of colds, influenza or allergies. You are on antibiotics or allergy drugs again and seem to get better only to struggle with relapses. You "catch" the latest bugs while some family members or co-workers in the same environments appear to avoid them.
  • You have been diagnosed with cancer or an autoimmune disease and the medications, surgical efforts or radiation may be retarding its progression but are not restoring your energy or vitality. You are not convinced that everything is being done to enhance your immune function and bring healing or restore wholeness to your body and mind.

    The immune system works hand in hand with the nervous system and therefore clearing its stress interference patterns frees the immune system to perform better. Absolutely everyone with compromised immune function needs and powerfully benefits from spinal/nervous system correction.

Digestive, Respiratory and Reproductive System Dysfunction:

You have been informed that surgery and medication are necessary and the only help for your digestive condition of colitis or Crohn's disease. A recent research paper demonstrated a connection between Crohn's and spinal misalignment. Improvement in the illness was correlated with correction of the related nervous system disturbance.
  • Your child has been diagnosed with asthma and requires use of steroid inhalers. You would like him not to have to be dependent upon continual medication use and you are wondering what other options you have.
  • You and your husband have tried for years to get pregnant and amidst frustration and adoption consideration, are prepared to pursue any natural option that might bring success. Increasing numbers of couples are conceiving children soon after undergoing a program of chiropractic care directed at correcting spinal subluxations. This releases the nervous system from injury or stress-induced interference to normal reproductive function.

Mental / Emotional Dysfunction

  • You have your reasons when you think about it, given all of life's stresses and challenges over the last years, but gradually anxiety and depression have become more constant companions. You are taking medication, which controls them reasonably well, but heaven forbid that you should stop and see what happens.

    Additionally, you have been reading about the unknowns of long-term usage of these drugs and how they may be permanently rewiring your brain. What is the real root of your problem and what other options do you have?
  • Your child has been struggling at school with poor grades, lack of focus and interest, and now you have been called aside regarding behavior concerns. You are being strongly encouraged to place your child on stimulant drugs like Ritalin for ADHD. You have heard strong cautions about the medication side effects even though they "work". You want to make sure you are addressing the causative issues and wonder if a different, more natural approach might help.

Those Not Currently Suffering But Seeking Peak Performance and Well Being and to Prevent Future Health Loss

Numerous studies of hundreds to thousands of people over the last decade or more continue to reveal powerful improvements in the function of all systems of the body with gentle, corrective chiropractic care.  Benefits were noted in mental/emotional as well as physical health involving less stress and more life enjoyment.

They were reported within 1-3 months of care and continued to increase without a plateau.  Improved vitality, concentration and social functioning along with reduced work absence, time in hospitals and nursing homes, and medication needs were demonstrated.

  • You consider yourself a reasonably healthy person with no diagnosable diseases.  You rarely miss a day of work due to a cold, flu or headache and compared to many people you are getting by just fine. However, you would really like to maximize your immune system’s ability to keep you well and to “invest” in your health for the future.

    You already have improved your nutrition, exercise regularly, drink lots of water, and are attempting to control life’s stresses.  You are curious about the role of your nervous system in improving your immune function and overall self-healing ability.
  • You are an athlete who wants to perform at your peak.  You are interested in any factors that may enhance your competitive edge. You want your body to be in complete alignment and synchronized timing so that you may command optimal function at the sound of the starter’s gun.

    You have recently been reading about Dan O’Brien (previous Olympic gold medal decathlon winner) and many other top athletes like Evander Holyfield and John Smoltz who attribute their winning edge largely to their regular chiropractic care directed at clearing nervous system interference.

Our Ideal Patient

Our patients typically share many of the following characteristics.  If most of them fit you as well, you are likely someone we can help to regain lost health or to enhance current and future well-being. They:
  • Are no longer willing to tolerate current pain, illness or a sub optimal level of well -being - they recognize that life is short and quality of life is a paramount value.
  • Are open and seeking a change – they have tried many things that haven’t fully met their needs and realize that different results require new approaches.
  • Realize that the highest quality of health care is often not the cheapest or a covered insurance benefit  - they have decided it is worth working and paying for.
  • Are determined and ready to make a commitment to restore and maximize their health – they know that true healing is a process that requires time and energy and isn’t an overnight event.  It took time through injuries and stress to decline to their current level.
  • Want to learn and take responsibility to participate in their healing – they realize that the optimization of their health and life is a joint venture and they can’t simply be fixed.
