Why Chiropractic:
I did not choose chiropractic – chiropractic chose me! I know from both a personal and educational position that the power that made the body, can heal the body. When the body is healing better, a person is feeling better.
When someone feels better, they can live happier, and when someone is happier, they radiate their happiness, making for a healthier and happier world. I want to dedicate my life to removing the interferences in people’s nervous system so they can be their absolute best!
Favorite thing about Sherman:
The deeply rooted chiropractic philosophy and the family atmosphere.
Favorite thing about the Upstate:
This area offers a plethora of both outdoor and indoor activities so I never get bored!
