I provide chiropractic care at Meridian Health Services’ Muncie campus, focusing on neuromuscular conditions. I use a range of adjustment techniques—including manual mobilization, flexion‑distraction, activator, and drop methods—to improve mobility and help patients function better. When needed, I refer patients for imaging, therapy, or additional medical care.

I spent more than 20 years working in a medical pain clinic in Muncie, gaining experience in orthopedic exams, physical therapeutics, spinal and joint injections, spinal cord stimulators, and x‑ray services. That background helps me know when chiropractic care is the right step and when another specialty would best serve the patient.

I earned my Bachelor of Science and Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic after completing undergraduate work at IUPUI. I chose Meridian because of its whole‑person approach to care and its commitment to serving the community—especially those who often go without the treatment they need. Returning to Muncie feels like coming home.

I became a chiropractor to help people who fall into the “gap” where other treatments haven’t fully relieved their pain. My goal is for patients to trust that I have their best interests in mind, feel better when they leave my office, and feel encouraged to pursue complete health and wellness.
