"Look well to the spine for the cause of disease."

- Hippocrates 

Chiropractors do not seek to heal you of your dis-ease or eliminate your pain. The ideal of chiropractic adjustments is to reduce spinal fixations, decrease nerve interference in the body, and promote increased function. This state of improved function can then facilitate the body in turning to a state of ease. Your ability to heal and be pain free is limited by the amount of damage, irritation, or stress that has been placed on your body. The greater the stress, the longer it will take to improve your overall well-being.

"Chiropractic care in pregnancy is vital to the normal physiological function of both the mother and baby in pregnancy and birth."

- Jeanne Ohm, D.C.

I have seen first hand the benefits of regular chiropractic care, not only during pregnancy, but before and after as well. Through gentle adjustments of the spine and pelvis, properly trained chiropractors may aid the expecting mother in enjoying a less painful pregnancy. Low back pain, hip pain, sciatica, pubic symphysis pain, and other conditions have shown to benefit from chiropractic care. The Webster Technique, as taught by the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, is a form of assessment and adjustment to promote proper function of the sacrum and pelvis. The normal function of this area may result in a less difficult birthing experience.

"As the tree is bent, so grows the tree."

The overall health and well-being of your child may be affected by the stresses they receive day to day, including any physical, chemical, or emotional stressors they experienced at birth and through childhood. Early detection of spinal and cranial restrictions is important in preventing life long patterns of disfunction. Chiropractic adjustments in infants and young children are much gentler than for adults. I have received specialized training through the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association that allows me the confidence and gentleness needed to work with children from the day they are born. I have had the pleasure of working with my own children shortly after birth and have seen how their health and resilience has been strengthened through regular care.

“The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

- Thomas Edison

Quality food is essential for the proper function and overall health of your body. The old saying "You are what you eat" emphasizes this truth. If you fuel your body with processed foods you may feel sluggish, have increased inflammation, and store more fat. However, if you fuel your body with whole foods your mind and body will be invigorated and you will have the energy to enjoy life. I believe the foods we eat play an important role in obtaining and maintaining not only an ideal weight, but also an active and healthy lifestyle. I chose to further my education while at chiropractic school by receiving a Master's degree in Nutrition and Human Performance. With this additional training I can help your family navigate through food choices to optimize your health care goals.
