What does practicing chiropractic mean to you? I have the opportunity to help patients of all ages with a variety of health conditions by addressing functional and movement de ciencies. When patients move better, they feel better.
When it comes to health, what is one thing you wish that your patients knew? Breaking patterns such as prolonged sitting or standing and improving overall balance and function can lead to better overall health and slow down age-related wear and tear to our bodies.
What is the most unusual case you’ve ever had? My youngest patient was 10 days old, and oldest was 101...We see a variety of unusual cases that don’t respond to traditional medical approaches.
What is something interesting that most people don’t know about you? I do a great goofy impersonation!

What does practicing chiropractic mean to you? Practicing chiropractic has given me the ability to work with my hands and not only help others live a life free of pain and symptoms, but truly correct underlying problems so that these issues don’t come back.
When it comes to health, what is one thing you wish that your patients knew? You can’t medicate your way out of a problem you behaved your way into.
What is the most unusual case you’ve ever had? My most unusual case was a patient who was in a car accident seven years prior and had an undiagnosed internal decapitation.
What is something interesting that most people don’t know about you? I play the drums and guitar.
