Meet-the-doctor
I am the area’s only Clinic owner with multiple National Championships and am a current National and World record holder. I KNOW SPORTS INJURIES! I was a Team Doctor for National and International Weightlifting events. We are easy to get to in Murfreesboro, Smyrna, Franklin and Nashville.
As a National Champion, Record Holder, published in Muscle and Fitness, and lecturer as a Chiropractic Physician, I understand that although patients may be diagnosed with the same condition, they respond very differently to treatments. For this reason, I tailor a specific plan of action to meet your needs, goals with unique medical treatment, to minimize your down time.
Finding a Doctor who understands changing health care needs and applies the most current techniques and approaches to addressing health problems can be a daunting task. We hope that you will find this site helpful in learning more about your health care and how it might improve the quality of your life.
