Meet The Team

Why Chiropractic?  I am often asked why did I choose to become a Doctor of Chiropractic:  Most people have a personal experience and that life altering event is what drives us towards our chosen profession.  When I was a child I ran across the road without looking and was struck by a car. That accident fractured my spine and after months in the Hospital my parents were told by the best medical professionals that I would be handicapped or in the very least I would require crutches in order to walk.  My parents made the choice to take me to a Chiropractor for another opinion.  Within months I was walking without any difficulty. In fact I progressed enough that I was able to play high school sports and lead a very active lifestyle.  When it was my time to decide in college what to study, I wanted to become a Chiropractor and be able to give the gift of recovery that I was given to those that also were suffering.    I graduated with a Bachelor of Science degree from LeMoyne College in Syracuse, New York, and received my Doctorate of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College in 1996. After graduation, I was the first chiropractor to work with an MD-based urgent care center in all of central New York. At that time, I also was a clinical instructor for the outpatient center at New York Chiropractic College where I directed NYCC students during their residency programs. My practice focuses on personal injuries, sports-related trauma, headaches, sprain/strain injuries, disc herniation, and pregnancy-related back pain.  I have also had the honor of being  asked to give expert testimony for workers compensation and personal injury cases.

Massage School truly opened my eyes and helped me discover how dynamic, intricate and truly amazing the human body is.  Having a lifelong passion for Sports, Health and Fitness; Massage opened the door to a greater understanding of the science behind movement and function. 

I offer massage that will allow all walks of life to benefit from it, whether a person is looking for massage therapy to help enhance their training in sports and help them reach optimal peak performance or someone that is looking for a massage that will encourage relaxation and that will help them facilitate a general sense of well-being for themselves. I want to be able to give back to people and to encourage health and wellness.
