Over the course of 30 years of practice as a chiropractor, I have developed special skills in cranial adjustment, sacral occipital technique (SOT), TMJ (jaw joint) treatment, and soft tissue manipulation. My background first as a licensed massage therapist has taught me the important role that soft tissue balance plays in health maintenance and I continue to incorporate and emphasize this in my practice.
I graduated from Vanderbilt University with a degree in psychology, and then obtained a Doctorate of Chiropractic from Western States Chiropractic College in 1985. My continued professional education including extensive postdoctoral training in clinical nutrition, sports medicine, acupuncture theory, and soft tissue techniques helps me bring new approaches to each patient's varying needs.
