PERSONAL PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY
| To provide each and every patient I encounter with the best Chiropractic care that I can, with an emphasis on removal of subluxations to restore the bodies’ inborn ability to achieve optimum health. Patient education on proper nutrition and exercise are also important to me. My ultimate office goal is to help as many people as I can discover Chiropractic and show them how to Take Charge of Their Health! My treatment goals are to increase each patient’s function and decrease his or her symptoms, utilizing safe and cost effective Chiropractic methods. I take pride in finding their problem and doing whatever possible to fix it. If I discover a non-Chiropractic diagnosis I gladly refer patients out to the appropriate health care facility. |

PERSONAL PRACTICE PHILOSOPHY
| To give each patient I encounter the best chiropractic care that I can provide, with emphasis on correction and stabilization of the subluxation complex in order to restore the bodies’ innate ability to achieve optimum health. My chiropractic approach to health care is holistic, stressing the patient’s overall well being. This involves patient coaching and education on the many factors that affect health including exercise, diet, lifestyle, rest and environment. My treatment goals are relief of symptoms and restoration of proper body function, utilizing safe and cost effective chiropractic methods. When I discover disease processes that require treatment outside of the chiropractic scope of practice I refer immediately to the appropriate health care providers. My ultimate goal as a chiropractor is to bring chiropractic to those who have not yet discovered its benefits, so they too understand its potential to enable them to live healthier more fulfilling lives. |
