“At 15 years old I thought I was going to have to give up my running career due to severe lower back pain. My grandmother knew differently….”
I first became interested in chiropractic after being helped as a 15 year old with severe lower back pain. Running high mileage, growing up on a horse farm and working with my dad doing excavation work was the down fall for my back. My grandmother, who was under regular chiropractic care, thought it would be a good idea to bring me to the chiropractor.
After being helped by chiropractic as a youngster I decided then that I wanted to help others through chiropractic care as well.
Chiropractic Education
Upon graduation from Averill Park High School I attended SUNY Oneonta where I majored in biology and minored in chemistry in order to prepare myself for chiropractic college. I began my chiropractic college studies in the fall of 1990, and received specialized training in chiropractic pediatrics and geriatric care. After 3 1/2 years of intensive studies, I graduated Magna Cum Laude from New York Chiropractic College.
Upon my return to the Capital District I decided to go into private practice and opened East Greenbush Chiropractic in January of 1994. After serving the Capital District with quality chiropractic care for 14 years, I was fortunate to be able to make my dreams become a reality and opened the East Greenbush Chiropractic Wellness Center in October of 2007.
Continuing Education
Throughout my many years in private practice I have continued to educate myself in many different health areas and techniques by attending numerous seminars. I have gained advanced training in pediatrics and family care along with nutrition, rehabilitative care, Chiropractic BioPhysics (CBP), and orthotic management through Foot Levelers. I hold a Certification in Pediatrics from the Academy Council of Chiropractic Pediatrics (CACCP) as well as a certification as a Certified Chiropractic Wellness Practioner (CCWP). In addition to these certifications, I am certified in Graston Technique (www.grastontechnique.com), Webster Technique and the Impulse Adjusting System.
Professional Affiliations
I am currently a member of the International Chiropractic Association Council on Wellness, International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, New York Chiropractic Council and am a past president of the New York Chiropractic Council District 6.
On a Personal Note..
