Why I became a chiropractor

I work on feet due to I had feet problems playing sports in the past.

My experience and knowledge of feet and sciatica.

Outside the office

I play on an tennis league.

Focus areas

Where I focus

Every doctor at Chiropractic Company is trained to care for the full range of spinal and musculoskeletal conditions. What differs between us is the additional training we’ve done and the patients we’ve spent the most time with.

Technique

How I work

I see people that have Back, feet, and body problems from all ages.

Usually first

Extremity adjusting

Adjusting joints outside the spine — shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles and feet. Often what a spine-only approach misses.

Then

Gonstead

A detailed analytical approach that identifies one specific segment rather than adjusting a region. Usually paired with x-ray and palpation findings.

Also

Diversified

The most widely used chiropractic technique — a specific, hands-on thrust to restore motion in a restricted joint. This is what most people picture when they think of getting adjusted.

Low force

Activator / instrument

A small handheld instrument delivers a controlled, low-force impulse to a specific spot. No twisting, no popping sound.

Assessment

Motion palpation

Feeling how each joint moves through its range rather than assessing it at rest. This is how a restricted segment gets found — often not where the pain is.

Assessment

X-ray analysis

On-site imaging when it will change the plan. Used to rule things out as much as to confirm them.

Assessment

Gait analysis

Watching how you walk. Foot, knee, hip and back complaints frequently trace back to something happening at heel strike.

Assessment

Digital foot scan

A pressure scan of both feet, showing how weight distributes and where the arch is collapsing.

Soft tissue

Myofascial release

Sustained pressure into the fascia — the sheet of connective tissue wrapping every muscle — to release restriction.

Soft tissue

Trigger point therapy

Direct, sustained pressure on a tight band within a muscle until it releases.

Also uses Kinesiology taping, Electrical stimulation, Custom orthotics and Home exercise programming.

Two things worth knowing

You decide what I do

That’s fine. We can do your other areas of complaints.

When I’ll send you somewhere else

For most people, no. You may hear or feel a pop, which is gas releasing from the joint rather than bones cracking. Some people feel mild soreness afterward, similar to after a workout, usually for a day or less.
