As a child, my mother was helped immensely with migraine headaches, neck and back pain by her chiropractor. I was so impressed with this that, as a 7th grader, I decided to pursue a chiropractic career. I am a 1988 graduate of Western States Chiropractic College in Portland OR. I obtained a Licensed Massage Therapist status while attending Chiropractic College, and was able to supplement my “hands on” experience by working with athletes and other patients for years prior to graduating as a chiropractor. From 1988 through 1992, in addition to offering standard chiropractic treatment, I was able to run a rehab center for injury recovery. In 1992, my wife Allison and I opened our own clinic, which for over 30 years was staffed with associate doctors of Chiropractic, Naturopaths, Acupuncturists and Massage therapists. I enjoy treating all kinds of conditions involving the muscles, bones, joints, and nerves. I am also passionate about health and nutrition. If we give our bodies what they need, we can most often times, avoid medication. Patients often comment on the thoroughness of my care. A careful look at the musculoskeletal system from the feet to the head is a must when treating many cases. I give credit to the Lord Jesus Christ for the gifts He has given me in being compassionate and skilled in using my hands and mind to assist in patient’s recovery. I also enjoy helping patients to try to find answers to their health issues, when they have hit a “dead end.” At times people have referred to me as a Chiropractic Detective. My moto is that “If you don’t know exactly what the condition is, then you can’t be specific at treating is effectively.” So because of this, I “go the extra mile” so to speak in performing in office testing and sending out as needed for labs, imaging, or opinions from other professionals to be part of a team to expedite recovery.
