I'll never forget my first experience with a chiropractor.   One of my friends started having lots of trouble with her right shoulder.  The muscles surrounding the area became very tight and gave her terrible pain.  She went to three different medical doctors, all who prescribes muscle relaxants, anti-inflammatories, and pain meds......all to no avail.   The trouble seemed to worsen as weeks turned into 6 months of trouble. 

One day she told me she was going to a chiropractor and I laughed.....thinking that it would be a mistake.  So, I went along and watched this chiropractor as he examined her, took x-rays, and recommended we return after he studied the results of his tests.  When we returned he had located the problem  (coming from her upper spine), recommended a series of spinal adjustments (gentle technique to balance the spine and nervous system), and told us he expected good results.  I was very skeptical and really didn't believe in what chiropractors could do for you, until an amazing thing happened......She got well!   Within 3 weeks of chiropractic care, her shoulder muscles became relaxed....the inflammation disappeared....and the pain vanished.  

I went to the chiropractor and said   "I have to apologize for being so skeptical, I just never knew really what adjusting the spine could do for people"....He looked me right in the eye and said  "YOU ought to become one!"

At that moment in time....my whole life changed.  So, in 1993 I gave up working in the Oil Field in western Oklahoma and went back to college.  The rest is history.

Now I've been in practice almost 10 years and absolutely love what I do.   I have a philosophy that centers on the "whole person approach" to health.  I invite you to come and visit our wellness center and sit in on one of my health presentations.

I regularly gives presentations throughout the Tri-City area in order to help educate the public about health and wellness, and how specific chiropractic care can play a very important role in the health of you and your family.

If you or your organization is currently seeking a speaker for an event, get together, or most any kind of gathering, I would be happy to provide great health information to your audience in an entertaining fashion.  For more information, contact the Balanced Healing Center at (423) 262-0339.
