A little about what I do...


Ok, so most people when they hear the word "chiropractor" all they think is "crackin' bones". What we do is much more than that.

Simply put, we help the body help itself. By aligning a persons spine a patient's nervous system and spinal joints function better, allowing your entire body to function better. It is VERY safe and painless. I have treated my own son when he was just 1 hour old all the way to a 91 year old osteoporotic woman.

I know this probably sounds preachy but I get frustrated about the current state of our health care. I think chiropractic care is the most underutilized and unappreciated form of health care in the country. The bottom line is chirpractic care works without side effects and without the risks of living on prescriptions (I'll save the drug talk for another post). Try it you'll see.
Everyday at work I see hard working people come in with high deductibles and high copays. Some people have come in with copays so high that my office visit fee is less than their copay. Someone in congress or in the white house needs to step in a put a stop to this. After George Bush's poor excuse for a Medicare prescription program I know we will have to wait at least 2 more years before something will be done. It will be a very tough hurdle with big pharma and the insurance industry's deep pockets but something must be done before noone can afford insurance.
Until next time...
