“Being in practice for 30 years, I often have patients that feel I have cured or healed them. Yes, my office was built on getting great results and having many satisfied patients, but the truth is I use chiropractic and acupuncture as the tools to achieve results. Through skilled hands, using modern technology and gentle techniques to remove interference in the nervous system, we can allow the patients body to do the healing from within. Without the use of medication. Correcting issues at their source instead of simply covering up symptoms! This helps the body function at its healthies level”.
