Why Choose Me as Your Trenton MI Chiropractor?

Upper Cervical Specialist

I'm one of the few chiropractors in the Trenton area specializing in upper cervical care—a precise technique that focuses on the critical relationship between your skull and the top two neck vertebrae. This specialized approach that I've perfected over 30+ years effectively treats chronic headaches, migraines, neck pain, and conditions that haven't responded to traditional treatments.

My deep community roots and understanding of local health challenges make me the trusted choice for chiropractic care. I've raised my own family here and have been an active hockey coach in our community.

Comprehensive, Personalized, Treatment

Beyond traditional chiropractic adjustments, I offer advanced therapies including spinal decompression, laser therapy, sports injury treatment, and wellness programs. Each of my patients receives individualized one-on-one care because I believe in treating you as a person, not just a condition.

I make treatment comfortable for patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, because I understand that everyone deserves gentle, effective care.
