“My role is to identify deficits in a patient’s strength, flexibility, posture, balance, coordination, joint/soft tissue mobility and combine those findings with their report of pain and functional limitations in order to formulate a plan of care to achieve goals which are reasonable and achievable.
“I enjoy the challenge of identifying the underlying causes of a patient’s pain and disability then working together with the patient and a multidisciplinary team to achieve their goals. I am excited to be working together with like-minded health professionals at Cedar Rapids Pain Associates.”

“I grew up in the health profession, as my father and sister are chiropractors as well. Ever since I was young, I always wanted to be like my dad. I learned that the body is a self-healing mechanism when given a chance, and we as chiropractors help add value to that chance for the body to heal on its own, because it’s absolutely true.
“Practicing down in Kentucky, I learned quite a bit in regards to different approaches for patient case management. What I really like about Cedar Rapids Pain Associates is the multidisciplinary approach that we present to our patients. I want to inspire people to be their best self and live their best life, and it all starts with striving for optimal health. I believe that our team at our clinic has that same mindset.”

“I was drawn to chiropractic care after a few friends and family members had, at separate times, each found relief through chiropractic treatment for pain that remained after going through ‘normal’ medical care. The relief they received was profound, and it changed their lives in such a positive way that I knew that this is what I wanted to do with my life.
“My goal is for every patient to have a positive experience, including a significant reduction in their pain. I want them to return to their lives and do what they need — and love — to do, like the rest of us. I find it rewarding to be able to help someone return to work, play with their kids and get back to what’s important. It’s exciting to be part of a multidisciplinary clinic, because it gives us a variety of options for treating, reducing and often resolving their pain. Also, I find that it’s important to show each person in my care that I’m listening, striving to fully understand what they’re going through and doing all I can to help them get back to their lives.”
