Expertise I can answer any question regarding chiropractic treatment and chiropractors. Mostly, I can help the unknowing public understand what is safe and valid, what treatment is reasonable and evidence-based, and what kinds of chiropractors to stay away from. I have an advanced specialty degree in Chiropractic Sports Medicine and can address any questions regarding sports injuries. I have experience in treating elite and Olympic athletes as well as weekend-warriors.
