WHY CHIROPRACTIC?

I knew from an early age that I wanted to help people experience healthier living. As a young boy, I watched my older sister bravely battle cancer for over three years. She endured rounds of chemotherapy and radiation that ultimately offered no results. Eventually she underwent a bone marrow transplant that the oncologists called “successful,” reporting that she was cancer free. Six months later, she relapsed and was considered to be in stage 4 of cancer, which is terminal. After roughly 4 months of experimental medications, she went to be with the Lord. She was only 17 years old when she passed away. I was just 12.

The most significant thing about my sister’s cancer is that she felt fine for years prior to her diagnosis. It wasn’t until she no longer felt well that she went to the doctor. My family, like most families, only sought medical treatment when we didn’t feel well.

Watching my sister undergo cancer helped me realize that I was going to help sick people get healthy. As I pursued traditional medicine and began learning more about anatomy and physiology, I realized that our bodies are born with everything they need to function properly on their own, without the need for medical intervention. Often times, we just need to get out of the way! I’d love to share more of my story, but I’ll wait until we meet in person.

MAKES PERFECT SENSE

While at Palmer College of Chiropractic, I fell in love with the concept of natural healing. I utilize the Gonstead technique, which provides an incredibly specific and thorough adjustment. The adjustments help your body correct any interferences that are preventing you from experiencing optimal wellness.

I have spent countless hours being educated in healthy living, lifestyle wellness, adjusting extremities and utilizing Foot Levelers custom orthotics.

MAKING A DIFFERENCE

I find it fulfilling to see patients get their lives back with chiropractic and wellness care. I have seen young children become cancer free. Patients have been able to get off medications due to high blood pressure, high cholesterol, irritable bowel syndrome, depression and so much more. I have even heard patients comment on improved eyesight and sense of smell. The success stories are empowering and seemingly endless. Chiropractic works. I’ve heard countless times that people don’t believe in chiropractic. I wish those people could experience chiropractic at True Life Wellness. I’m certain they would believe differently.

ON A PERSONAL NOTE

I enjoy leading by example. I’ve never recommended something I haven’t done myself. I love living a natural, healthy lifestyle with my amazing wife and four daughters. We aren’t perfect, but we work hard at eating healthy, moving our bodies, and keeping an optimistic mindset. I am a little bit of a “gym rat” and love being active outdoors. Although I don’t get a lot of time to do it, I love fishing and watching movies.

I look forward to getting to know your family. Contact us today and schedule an appointment that works for your schedule.
