“I have personal experience with how pain can affect the activities of day-to-day living. My goal is to help patients experience less or no pain and get them back to their normal activities. I always try to put myself in each patient’s unique situation and provide options to improve their quality of life. I love the multidisciplinary approach that we provide at Cedar Rapids Pain Associates. I’m excited to be part of such a wonderful team and look forward to helping patients with their pain needs.”

“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 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.”
