True health care is more than just making pain and symptoms disappear. It is about learning, understanding and taking care of your body to improve your quality of life. We aim to educate our patients about drug free solutions to common health problems in order to motivate you to take a more active and responsible role in restoring and maintaining your own health as well as the people around you.
As health care providers, we understand that although our patients may be diagnosed with the same condition, they respond very differently to treatments. For this reason, we tailor a specific plan of action to meet your needs, goals & unique medical and physical condition. Finding a health care provider who understands changing health care needs and the most current techniques and approaches to addressing health problems can be a daunting task.
We hope that you will find this site helpful in learning more about our gentle chiropractic care as well as the ways that it can improve the quality of your life.

Did you know that chiropractic dates back to the time of Hippocrates?
He believed that if the spine was misaligned, it greatly contributed to the health of an individual.
The modern day school of chiropractic dates back to 1895, when Dr. Daniel Palmer adjusted a man that had lost his hearing 17 years prior.
The story goes that prior to losing his hearing the man had heard something pop in his back.
Upon the adjustment of the man's misaligned vertebrae his hearing greatly improved.
While the medical community criticized this new technique for healing the body, the people who followed in these footsteps found an amazing new way of dealing with illness and disease.

Chiropractic can help reduce the severity and the frequency of your allergies.
Chiropractic does not work like an anti-histamine as a direct, short term relief from allergies.
Chiropractic allows your body to be better equipped to fight against allergies.
Allergies are a reaction by your immune system to an allergen (substances that normally have no effect on people) resulting in sneezing, coughing, congestion, hives, rashes, and in severe cases, seizure and anaphylactic shock.
These symptoms are caused by the histamines your immune system creates in an attempt to protect your body against the allergen.

Going to the Chiropractor is a new experience for many of us.
Maybe we've heard through a friend or have done some research online.
It's possible that you are just fed up with living in pain and it's time to do something about it.
In either case, your first visit to the chiropractor will really be about getting to know the chiropractor and discussing your history, current condition and goals.
As with any doctor's visit, you'll start by finishing some new patient paperwork.
Upon meeting with the doctor, you'll discuss your concerns and expectations as well as have the chance to ask any questions you may have.
