"When I was 21 years old I felt a sharp pain in my lower back, hunching over. My grandmother took me to the ER & they could only prescribe me aspirin & couldn't tell me WHY I become bedridden for a month. It wasn't until I started working for a Manual Manipulation D.C. that my life changed & I finally knew the root cause of that pain. The DC took X-rays and explained my scoliosis to me, that it had been with me since I was a young child, just finally feeling the pain & could have been corrected if I had known sooner. Even knowing how much Chiropractic helped me, I made the mistake of not maintaining my care. I came to work once again in the Chiropractic field with Dr. Meakim in 2015, missing the connection with patients and saw how much my spine had degenerated without care. Under NUCCA care I have slowed this degeneration & my insomnia has gone away. Now, It is my mission to help patients not make the same mistake I did and to maintain true correction at our office & make sure EVERYONE gets checked to learn about their own body sooner than I did, most importantly kids. I am here to help!!"

I found my way into the Chiropractic field because I knew I always wanted to help people. I have come to see how this holistic approach can change the lives of so many people for the better as well as a prevention of future suffering. I lived with the belief I would always have chronic neck and lower back pain and realized there was a gentle solution to my pain. I am very grateful to have found NUCCA. I hope we can offer you a new possibility in your health journey too!
