Wendy has been with us since 2005. She enjoys helping our clients feel comfortable in our office, because she recalls feeling a little nervous before her own first adjustment.

After a series of chiropractic adjustments, Wendy noticed relief of her symptoms as well as an improvement in her posture.

LINDA

Linda was introduced to chiropractic in 1990 and was one of the biggest skeptics ever. The doctor knew she was nervous, so he gave her a gentle adjustment. Linda got adjusted regularly and in just a short time she started feeling so much better. She felt as if a weight had been lifted from her spine; She actually thought she could feel the blood flowing through her veins.
