For over 12 years, I’ve been working with patients of all ages to help them feel better, prevent injury and increase performance. In 2003 I opened the Spine and Therapy Center. If you have heard of us before, it was probably from other patients or doctors. More than 90% of my new patients are referrals from other patients. I first became interested in Chiropractic due to a personal injury. I'm a cyclist and runner now, but when I was younger I was into weight training. When I was 21, I ruptured a disc in my lower back, at the gym. I learned that if I had seen a chiropractor for the early symptoms, I might have been able to prevent the severe injury that required surgery. I became fascinated by Chiropractic and decided to become a Doctor of Chiropractic to help others. Chiropractic is a healthful, drug-free, holistic solution for skeletal and muscular problems. With ongoing training and education I also add other new skills and techniques every year. My patients and I have had great results with Active Release Technique (ART)® and Graston Technique®. Low-light laser therapy has been very effective in promoting deep tissue healing. And many of my patients have found new strength, stability and comfort with the innovative foot orthotics from Sole Supports®.
