Chiropractic aims to restore the communication between your body and your brain. When a joint no longer moves freely, the brain interprets that as a potential threat or injury and, in an attempt to protect the area, may trigger muscle spasms, pain, and inflammation. To correct this issue, I deliver adjustments to the joints (both to the spine and to the extremities) to restore proper movement using a wide variety of techniques to accommodate each patient.

Tendonitis, Bursitis, chronic tight muscles, TMJ dysfunction, tension headaches, these sound familiar? The thing in common: fascial restriction. Fascia is like Saran Wrap for the muscles, covering each muscle independently and connecting muscles to each other. An injury to one area can cause fascia to adhere to itself or to another area, causing painful/ dysfunctional motion. Myofascial release is a soft tissue technique combining stretching with trigger point therapy to releave this pain . . .

Life is complicated enough, being healthy and eating right shouldn't be. There are natural anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidant, etc.foods that can ease the stress our bodies undergo. Together, we can find real foods that will work for your lifestyle to help reduce pain and improve the way you feel, all at your own pace to ensure long lasting success. Short term diets for long term health do not work; we need to change how we look at food and understand how what we eat affects our bodies. We need to get back to the basics. . .
