We believe strongly in the importance of health and well-being. Our personal philosophy of chiropractic care is simple, yet very meaningful; first, take the time; second, understand, and third; truly care for each patient.
We have confidence in our abilities as a caretaker and chiropractor to successfully manage patients whose problems range from ordinary to difficult. We use various muscle relaxation techniques, herbs, homeopathy, nutritional counseling, and a fantastic rehabilitative program and facility to compliment our gentle chiropractic touch.
We are very excited to be a Chiropractor in the Placerville, El Dorado County area. We would love to have the chance to work with you, your family, and your associates. We look forward to meeting and getting to know you.
