Welcome.
These FAQ pages are always weird, let’s be honest, we all know these are written to answer questions most people are not actually asking. I’m going to write this so you can get a better understanding of what our office is about.
Because that’s what this should be.
As I’m writing this in my second decade in the Sierra Mountains, to some that makes me a local. To others, I’m not, and I split my time, mostly, between my two offices in South Lake Tahoe, CA and Gardnerville NV.
I moved to the area to rock climb, snowboard, hike, swim and generally be outdoors. Just like most transplants to the area, but I needed to find a way to live here. Luckily for me, I got injured rock climbing, and was referred to a chiropractor in town. My recovery wasn't as miraculous in the way my physical body was healed, but it healed my mind, body and spirit. It took me from a broken, lost and confused twenty-something to a grounded, committed and determined thirty-something mountain-sage-healing-warrior.
This year was the 17th year of practice, and I am loving every moment of it, and I can't wait to meet all of you.
You’re probably still wondering something like:
“why am I here?” or “Am I in the right place?” or "can chiropractic actually help me with this?"
If you came from the internet there is a good chance you just searching to find potential answers. So here are the answers to some questions.

#1: CHIROPRACTIC CARE UTILIZED AS PREVENTAIVE OR MAINTAINANCE CARE GETS BETTER RESULTS
Chiropractic care has a great reputation for low back pain, neck pain, and headaches and our office get's great results for many of these conditions and symptoms. The current healthcare model seems to be a sickcare model where many wait till the pain is unbearable to seek care. This is because we have been taught to think "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" attitude. We understand this and we offer many options for you to start care: starting at visit-to-visit to family wellness care.
It would be ludicrous to think that going to the gym 10 times would make a difference or eating healthier for a week would start to change your blood pressure. You don't have to go to the gym hours and hours a day, but small consistent habit builds up to change. Turns out, the synergy between your eating habits, exercise habits, self-talk habits, are a mirror to the intricacies of your personal life. They outside world of advertising and movies are using tactics and tricks that are out to destroy our healthy habits and convince you that a pill is the answer.
Over the last 17 years it has become oblivious that consistent health-based lifestyle choices are the best tactics to live a balanced and health life.
I have realized that there is significant lack of care for mother and baby the year after the child is born. This perinatal care is the main reason that I became a chiropractor and is still the spark that get me motivated in the office.
#2: KNOWING EXACTLY WHERE YOU ARE NOW AND WHERE YOU WANT TO BE CREATES A ROADMAP TO RESULTS
Humans default to not wanting to dig deep to find out answers. When you fill out of intake forms, we want you to take your time and paint the picture of what your life has been like.
Sometimes the answer is superficial, but it's usually a very complex, layer by layer story to explain why you are in the office.
We need you to dig deep and find clarity in your life, that way you can start to move "closer" to what you want. To your goals, aspirations, and create the ideal situation moving forward.
Not wanting to go deeper feels good in the moment, until you realize that you are not moving forward. When you realize this, it might be that you were just wasting time and money. This clarity will help us create the optimal care plan to get exactly what you want from care in our office.
#3: WE NEED YOU TO VALUE THE VALUE OF CARE
Changing the thoughts about health care from an expense to an investment can change your perception. Realizing that each dollar you spend being proactive in your healthcare can pay big dividends on the flip side.
One MRI can pay for many years of wellness chiropractic care in our office. This doesn't include the hospital stay, blood work, radiologist report, and ER visit cost. Add in a few nights of hospital stay and who knows what the total cost would be?
Good news, if we find, after a few tests, what chiropractors are trained to detect, we can expect a care plan of 12-36 visits. With a price tag of less than 1/3 of the MRI.
I know I can help you.
SO WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS HERE?
Full disclosure: There is only so much we can put on the website to show how effective chiropractic adjustment are with a multitude of conditions.

HOW I AM DIFFERENT
This one is easy.
- We pride ourselves with being on time for actual appointments, we value your time and do everything possible to be a prompt as possible.
- We do accept insurance, but most insurance companies don't accept us. Meaning: we chose to be out of network with most insurance companies. Before your visit will verify your coverage and let you know the best option to receive care.
- If you chose to pay out of pocket (cash or cc) we offer the ability to pay per visit, or a monthly membership. If you are committed to your wellbeing, we will gladly patterner with you on your journey.
- We will give you our optimal recommendation for care and will work with you to find the best compromise to get the best results possible in the shortest amount of time.
