Dr. Greg’s Personal Note:
“As a high school freshman I was injured by a collision during basketball practice. Following this collision I experienced several severe migraine headaches. After all the medications failed my parents brought me to our local chiropractor who treated the neck problem that caused my headaches. Chiropractic has since become not just a career for me, but a lifestyle. Outside of our office I enjoy spending time with my wife and 5 children, helping coach sports teams, gardening, and doing projects around the homestead."

Dr. Heather’s Personal Note:
“I love the natural, holistic premise of chiropractic. I hope to educate the public that there are ways to approach health from a natural, drug-free angle. I originally chose chiropractic as a profession due to my experience as an athlete (gymnastics and rowing) who benefited greatly from chiropractic care. As I moved into the motherhood season of life, my interest in chiropractic care for women during pregnancy and postpartum grew, as well as for infants and children. I have personally experienced the benefits of chiropractic while pregnant and seen how it has helped my children as infants and throughout childhood. Finally, I find it very rewarding working with all patients to improve their diet Now, I spend much of my time homeschooling our 5 children. When I have a spare moment, I enjoy gardening, reading, knitting, and CrossFit. Most dear to my heart is my role as a wife and mom.”
