Our approach Find it. Fix it. Keep it.
How I work, and why: a detailed exam first, a clear plan you understand, and the habits that keep you out of pain.
Is chiropractic backed by science?
Partly, and I'll be straight with you. Good research supports spinal manipulation for low back pain and some neck pain and headaches, and medical guidelines now recommend it, but the evidence for many other conditions is limited.
More detail
That's why care here combines adjustments with what the research supports best: exercise, staying active and good nutrition. If your problem is outside what chiropractic can help, I'll tell you and refer you.

How a plan works
- 1
Find it
We talk first. Then a detailed exam, including muscle testing, to find what's really causing your pain. You'll know what's wrong before we do anything about it.
- 2
Fix it
You get a plan built for your body and your goals. Clear steps, a clear timeline, and no pressure. Many patients tell me they feel better after the first visit.
- 3
Keep it
As you heal, we add stretching, strength, and nutrition so it stays fixed. Body, fuel, and mind. That's how you stay in the game.
Your first visit
A full 50-minute exam, a consultation where I explain what I found, and your first adjustment if it's right for you.
Muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology)
What is muscle testing (Applied Kinesiology), and does it work?
Muscle testing is a hands-on check of how a muscle responds to gentle pressure, and I use it as one part of the exam alongside your history and standard orthopedic and neurological tests. In our practice, Applied Kinesiology has been a great tool to help us find the root cause of your pain, whether it's physical, emotional or nutritional.
Techniques I use
Different bodies need different tools. I'm trained in many techniques, so I can match the method to you.
- Applied Kinesiology (muscle testing)
- Diversified Chiropractic Technique
- Webster Technique
- Sacro-Occipital Technique (SOT)
- Total Body Modification (TBM)
- Activator
- Thompson Drop Table
- Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab (FAKTR)
- Nutrition Response Testing (NRT)
- NET (Neuro Emotional Technique)
And if I can't help you, I'll tell you. Then I'll send you to someone who can.
