Description

I have practiced in Victoria now for 22 years focusing on family wellness, athletics and spinal rehabilitation. I use a variety of spinal adjusting techniques, supported with various muscle work and stretching, as not all spines are created equal and treatments are customized to each unique patient.

I also have a particular interest in treating and helping those who suffer from migraine headaches, since I also suffer from migraine headaches. Migraine is not just a headache, but a complex neurological disorder that affects billions world-wide. Let’s talk about those headaches.
