What we do...

     To truly impact change in someone's health, I believe that you must address overall health, not just reduce pain.  During the initial phase of your care, I will certainly do all that I can to reduce or eliminate your pain providing postural, strengthening and flexibility exercises to compliment your Chiropractic care.  You have a choice to discontiue care at this point but I would caution you that most pain symptoms reappear over the course of time and you have a much greater risk of re-injury at this stage.  Wellness Chiropractic care what I emphasize in our practice because this is where your body and nervous system are at its optimum health.  It is my philosophy to keep you well-informed of the care choices before you and make you aware of all that Chiropractic has to offer to you for a lifetime of health and vitality. 

In efforts to achieve the best results for our patients, I use a variety of Chiropractic techniques including Flexion-Distraction, Thompson Drop, Diversified, Activator/Pro Adjuster, cold laser and Mechanical Percussion.  To further enhance these results and attain longer lasting results, I also utilize a variety of soft tissue therapies including myofascial release, trigger point reduction, and muscle energy/balance techniques.  I am certified in the Graston technique www.grastontechnique.com and have implemented the Back Project system www.backproject.com to enhance patient outcomes.  For more extensive information about the tools my staff and I use to help you restore your health, go the "Techniques" tab.

Personal

     I met my wife, Bethany, while working at The Conditioning Spa in Greeley studying for our Exercise/Kinesiology degree. We have been married for 19 years and she is my best friend.  She is also a Certified Sports Nutritionist and works with many of our patients developing strategies for improved nutrition and weight management using the Ideal Protein diet.

     Our son Caden: He is in 3rd grade at Southeast Christian School and enjoys learning about the Bible. He loves lacrosse and baseball and has a true knack of building things. I have convinced him to be a Minnesota Twins fan. We pray that he continues to love the Lord and grows closer and closer to Him.

     Our daughter Elayna Grace (Elle): She is a 2nd grader at Southeast Christian School and is very active in singing and acting.  If she isn't sleeping or eating, she is singing, dancing or playing Barbies. She is our princess and is pure sunshine wherever she goes! 

How I got started in the health field: 

    At 13 years old I found that I needed to "bulk up" and started training with weights to keep up with the other kids. I started working out at my house before school and would ride my bike 4 miles to and from a Nautilus health facility 5 days a week. My body began to respond and at the age of 15, I decided to enter the junior Olympics to compete in the dead lift, bench press and squat competitions and had success. Unfortunately, my joints began to break down from the rigorous training routines and I began to have severe lower back pain. I visited a sports Chiropractor in El Toro, California and began treatment that included realigning the spine and improving my core strength. It took about a year of regular Chiropractic visits and I feel that if I didn't utilize Chiropractic my life would be drastically different in terms of my health.

   The Chiropractor felt that I needed to shift gears to a more flexible and healthy way of training my body and persuaded me to start bodybuilding. I began to compete in various bodybuilding contests at age 16 and had very good success, while improving my muscle tone, nutritional habits and flexibility.

   At the University of Northern Colorado, I began to study human anatomy and chemistry and became a certified personal trainer. I began working at The Conditioning Spa in Greeley and started training friends, but as my cliental began to grow, I had to find new exercise concepts to enhance their performance. I started to work with massage therapists and chiropractors.

    I completed my Chiropractic Doctorate at Parker Chiropractic College in Dallas, Texas where I learned the true value of Chiropractic Health Care- not just as a means of pain reduction, but also as a vehicle to impact overall health.  I began to view the body as a "whole unit" with the nervous system being the master system protected by the spinal bones.  When there is abnormal pressure on the nerves your body cannot function at a 100% and slowly, like a dimmer switch, muscles and organs start to suffer.  By restoring function to the nervous system your body has an opportunity to heal itself naturally the way GOD intended.  Stay aligned and live better!

Hobbies:

    Any and all water sports!  I enjoy meeting people when I travel and find out through them, the details of their state or country.  Other hobbies include squash, racquetball, and Bible studies.  I try and stay balanced and not let one thing control my life, whether it be at the office or watching/playing sports.  My number one job is to be the best husband and father I can be.

Religion: 

    I am a Christian who believes in the Trinity.
