Functional Medicine Care Model
Chiropractic is the foundation of my practice, and I integrate Applied Kinesiology (AK) to fine-tune diagnosis and treatment. AK is a powerful tool for identifying
underlying causes of health issues that often go undetected in standard medical evaluations. In some cases, I incorporate Clinical Nutrition to support the healing process. This may include food sensitivity testing, targeted supplementation, or lab work. Each patient’s treatment is highly personalized, tailored to their specific health needs. By restoring balance and function to the body, we not only relieve symptoms but also promote long-term health and overall wellness.
This functional medicine approach is grounded in the principles of
holistic medicine —understanding that physical
symptoms are often rooted in deeper imbalances across
emotional, nutritional, structural, and environmental levels. I work to uncover these connections and address the whole person, not just isolated symptoms.
