Taking care of the Whole Body – Naturally
I believe that optimal health comes from a blend and balance of body, mind and spirit working together in harmony.
When we neglect any of these aspects of ourselves dis-ease can take hold. There are times the physical body is excessively jarred – an auto accident, a fall, lifting something too heavy, repetitive use, etc and strains, sprains and pains result. When we are under excessive amounts of stress without having effective ways to release it – the body “cries out” for attention – be it in the form of neck and back pain, headaches, digestive disorders, or more.
As a Chiropractic Physician, I believe in addressing all parts of the body, supporting it to function in the most efficient way we can. We look at structure (muscles, bones, nerves, alignment, posture), nutrition (what we put in to the body and what we may be missing), stress levels (effective techniques to reduce and handle stress), exercises (strengthening, increasing circulation, reducing pain), blood work (a great internal map of the body and what is working optimally or less than optimally) and more.
As a Chiropractor for over 40 years (since 1982) I have been incredibly passionate about Natural Health Care. I believe the body knows how to heal itself, and in most cases, has the capacity to do so. That being said, I also believe there are many factors that take the body out of balance and it needs, or can benefit from, support.

How I Can Help You
Instead of “treating a disease” I work with patients to restore balance in their body. In respectful, gentle techniques, working together as a team (you and me) we may address:
Areas of pain (neck, back, joints, gut (or stomach), foot, and pretty much another places in the body)
Headaches
Arthritis and other Inflammatory processes
Allergies
Digestive imbalances
Injuries (from falls, Motor Vehicle Accidents, On the Job Injuries, Sports Injuries, etc)
Hormonal and/or blood work imbalances
AND SO MUCH MORE
What happens in a chiropractic treatment?
As you walk in the door of the studio, you are immediately surrounded by the beauty of the paintings in the studio (my art studio and chiropractic treatments are in the same space). You will be given a short form to fill out. We’ll discuss what brought you to seek treatment, if you have had chiropractic care before, and I share about my style of treatment – making sure all of your questions are answered.
We’ll then proceed to the table area where an exam will be performed so I can assess what is needed. I will tell you what my findings are, what I am thinking, and what I am recommending. We then take the time to discuss what your response is to what I have just told you and again, answer any questions you have.
Next we will proceed with the treatment we have agreed upon. I generally do muscle work first (stretching and/or relaxing muscles, perhaps stimulate acupuncture points (in New Mexico I can use acupuncture needles if called for though it is then called Meridian Therapy).
As treatment is completing, I invite you to take a few breaths before coming off the table to have a chance to check in with your body and notice how you are feeling. When you come off the table you are invited to walk across the room and back – noticing how you feel. I will double check the areas that were noted to be out of balance when we started.
Sometimes there are recommendations for home care, activities, exercises, heat, ice, etc. Again, any questions are addressed and we discuss if a follow-up treatment is recommended. Then you get to leave – ALMOST always feeling so much better than when you arrived.
