Frequently Asked Questions

Most chiropractors focus on spinal adjustments. I focus on the muscles that hold your spine in place. Using Muscle Therapy, I test hundreds of muscles to find the ones that have shut down, then reactivate them so your body can hold its own alignment. That means longer-lasting results, fewer visits — and a full 40 minutes one-on-one every time, never a rushed appointment.

Your first visit is a full movement pattern and muscle function evaluation. I’ll test hundreds of muscles to find which ones have shut down and are driving your pain, then build you a personalized treatment plan from what I find. Plan on about 60 minutes — and on having my full attention the whole time.

No. I use the Activator Method — a gentle, instrument-assisted adjustment technique with no twisting, popping, or cracking. It’s comfortable for patients of every age, from infants to seniors. You may feel mild tenderness as dormant muscles wake back up, but that usually settles within a day.

Most patients feel significant improvement in 6–10 visits. My goal is to get you better and graduate you — not to keep you coming back indefinitely. After your initial plan, many patients choose occasional maintenance visits to stay ahead of trouble, but that’s always your choice.

Yes. I’m a VA-credentialed chiropractic provider. If you’re a veteran with a VA community care referral, your chiropractic care with me is fully covered — no copay, no deductible, no out-of-pocket cost. Contact our VA liaison, Kelly Young, to get started.

Most people feel a meaningful shift within the first one to three visits. Because the work targets the specific muscles that have shut down — not just where it hurts — changes tend to stick rather than fade between sessions. Complex or long-standing issues may need a short series of visits to fully unwind, and I’ll be straight with you about what to expect after your evaluation.

I operate as a cash-based practice so I can spend the full hour focused on you instead of on insurance paperwork. I’m happy to provide a detailed superbill you can submit to your insurance for possible out-of-network reimbursement. HSA and FSA cards are accepted.
