Chiropractors give spinal adjustments to realign the spine and take pressure off of the nerves allowing the central nervous system and body to function at its highest level.  

Chiropractors can adjust any joint in the body.

Can anyone guess what is the youngest patient I have adjusted? What is the oldest?

Can anyone guess the tallest patient I have seen? 

Why do you think patients of all ages come to see a chiropractor?

I adjusted a child while he was having a seizure and it stopped. Consistently getting adjusted helped him to reduce medication. 

I have a number of patients who have had spinal surgery and it has not fully helped their condition come and get great results without having a second surgery. 

We prevent patients from getting surgery and prescription drugs.

It is an alternative to non‐surgical/non‐medicinal solutions for regaining health

Helping patients go from not functioning optimally to getting them back to what they love to do.
