When do you need to see a chiropractor?
What will a chiropractor do?
How I can help
Most people find me after something else hasn't worked — a night guard that never stopped the headaches, a hip a doctor waved off as "just aging," an injury quietly eating into their season. I start by figuring out why it's happening, then treat the cause, not just the sore spot.
Wherever you're starting from, here's where I can help:
- DOT Physicals — a certified medical examiner, by appointment, no urgent-care wait.
- Sports & Athlete Care — get ready for the season and back from injury faster.
- TMJ Treatment — relief for jaw pain, clicking, and the headaches that ride along with it.
- Women's Health — the joint and tendon pain that shows up in perimenopause and menopause.
- Dry Needling — release tight muscles and stubborn pain at the source.
Who I help
The people I see most aren't looking for a quick crack-and-go. They're athletes trying to stay in their sport, drivers who need a DOT physical without losing a workday, women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s with aches that came out of nowhere, and folks who've just been living around pain for too long.
What they have in common is they want someone to actually listen, explain what's going on, and treat it. That's the whole reason I run on time-based visits instead of a conveyor belt.
Why I do this
I got chiropractic care as a young athlete for my own injuries. It's a big part of how I stayed in the game and earned a college soccer scholarship, so I know what it's like when your body gets in the way of the thing you love, and what good care can do about it.
So I don't rush. I take the time to find the real cause and explain it in plain language. One patient came to me with migraines several times a week; now she gets them a couple times a month. That's the kind of change I'm after with everyone who walks in.

A Lawrence practice, run by a Kansan
I’m a Kansas native from Great Bend and a University of Kansas grad, so Lawrence is home.
I’m certified in dry needling, FTCA, ACA, and TPI Medical 3 (Titleist Performance Institute), and I know the anguish of the body aging, getting out of shape, and getting back into shape. I also know the limitations and dark cloud that hang over chronic pain sufferers. Let me guide you on your journey to feeling better and moving better.
I see patients from all over town, including West Lawrence, Sunset Hills, North Lawrence, and out toward Eudora, from my clinic just off Clinton Parkway and Wakarusa, near KU and West Campus. If you’re nearby and something’s been bugging you, I’d love to help.
