Mission
|
My purpose is to revive
balance in the mind-body connection by detecting and correcting misalignments
in the spinal column, thereby removing interference in the nervous system
allowing the body to self-heal and self-regulate.

Vision
|
I strive to provide
superior chiropractic care specific to each individual patient using a systemic
approach to detect the underlying cause of a patient’s suffering in order for
my patients to achieve optimum health.
I value providing patients with the means necessary to understand their chiropractic treatment and the impact living the chiropractic lifestyle can have on the patient and his or her family. I value living a life centered around wellness in mind, body, and soul. Decisions based on what is best for our body will allow us not only to live, but to thrive. I value empowering patients to take responsibility for their health care. I value using a systemic, or whole body, approach to patient examination and care. My goal is to detect the underlying cause of pathology and correct it in order to promote proper healing and faster recovery. I value the use of the chiropractic adjustment to unlock the body’s ability to self-heal without the need for pharmaceutical or surgical intervention. |
