Here's what I do:
Our goal at Clearwater is to provide a comfortable, relaxed dedicated space where intention is focused on improving your health and well-being. Careful biomechanical analysis is given to ensure that not only the pain generator is found, but also the root cause of the biomechanical flaw. Focused treatment using a variety of skills including myofacial release, deep tissue massage, physiotherapy modalities like ultrasound and electric stimulation, post neuromuscular facilitation stretches, and patient education are used with diversified full body chiropractic adjustments in an effort to give your body the most relief possible during each visit.
I like to help:
Athletes who are dedicated and driven to meet and exceed their goals make great patients because they really want to succeed. I also really enjoy working with teachers, nurses, doctors, counselors, police and fire department because in my mind these people are giving a lot to their community and I enjoy giving back to the people who give the most.
Here's what I like to do:
Educate. The Latin root of the word doctor means to teach or teacher. The goal I have is to educate you on how to take better care or get better performance out of your body.
Past Companies and Clients:
Since graduation from Western States Chiropractic College in 2004 I have worked exclusively at Clearwater Clinic.
