Here's what Amy loves about chiropractic:
My favorite thing about natural healthcare and chiropractic is how they leverage the body's natural ability to heal. I am an active person and chiropractic has been essential throughout my life. I rode horses for over 12 years and routine chiropractic care helped me stay balanced and move properly. Getting adjusted helped my body function properly and recover quickly from all the strain and stress of working with horses on a daily basis.
Fun fact:
Amy used to ride horses professionally!



I have a lot of things that I like about chiropractic, and one of them is that it treats injuries naturally without the addition of surgery or medication/steroids. Another thing that I like about chiropractic is that it enhances my sports performance. I am a very active person who loves playing soccer, and chiropractic adjustments have been helping me increase my range of motion and definitely reduce muscle stiffness.
Fun Fact:
Carlos used to have six toes on his left foot!
