For over 50 years it has been our unrelenting quest to provide the highest quality health care to our patients. We have a firm belief that our patients are not just a set of symptoms and problems, but real people with real needs.
There are many models of health care delivery to choose from. We practice a patient centered, wellness orientated functional medicine model. Chiropractic and Naturopathic medicine have long promoted this integrative biopsychosocial approach that allows us to not just treat disease but to explore the underlying roots and to promote the body's innate ability to heal itself if given the opportunity. We believe that health is not merely the absence of disease, but the ability to function and enjoy life at optimal levels.

You, the patient, are the expert on your life and how you feel.
Therefore you are a vital partner in the healing process. Most non-traumatic, non-genetic health problems stem from the accumulation of choices that have been made over the years. These choices revolve around what we call the triangle of health. The triangle of health is an expression of the balance between the physical, biochemical and perceptual sides of a triangle. If anyone of these sides fails, then symptoms of ill health will begin. All disorders have all of these components to some degree.

your health care team"
We believe in not letting our patients die of the symptoms while treating the disease. So there is a place for heroic medicine. However, the patient needs to take the next step of discovering the cause of their problem and how to bring about healing. There is an old saying: To alter the course of your disease, you must alter the course of your life. Our patients are a part of the healing partnership not just recipients of procedures.
This teamwork allows the doctor to be a teacher of health principles that the patient can practice for optimum health.
