Clinical practice
Chiropractic, through the lens of the nervous system
I have been in clinical practice since 1997. After earning my Doctor of Chiropractic at Logan University, I completed three more years of post-doctoral training in clinical neurology and became a board certified chiropractic neurologist in 2001.

- Not forcing
The method
Allowing, not forcing
My approach abandons aggression and the excessive use of force in favor of allowing. I make a suggestion to a person's body, and if that suggestion is acceptable, a correction emerges from the coupling of two people's intentions.
The goal is to encourage a small improvement rather than insist on a large one. It is the idea of Kaizen: small, unforced changes that build on each other over time. In my experience, that is how large changes happen.
Neurology shapes how I listen. Rather than looking only at where it hurts, I look at how the nervous system and the body are working together, for neuromusculoskeletal disorders, headaches, and back and neck pain.
