Dr. Josh and his wife Cori (pictured with Dr. Josh and their son Grant) are both licensed health care providers. Cori is a registered nurse at Evergreen Hospital. Understanding the medical field through his wife gives Dr. Josh a different perspective on medicine than most Chiropractors. There is a time and place for invasive health measures. Dr. Josh believes that the body will heal and function at its best if it is made an environment for healing and that it is best done working naturally with the body. |
“My goal has always been to provide as many people in my community with an exceptional Chiropractic experience. Although about 9 out of 10 people have never experienced chiropractic, many who have are discouraged with the assembly line, cattle herding style of many Chiropractic offices. Many times their experience consists of waiting in the office twice as long, or longer for their visit. And then when they are seen, only to have the doctor “pop and pray, and walk away”. I don’t believe that to be safe, effective or even consider it Chiropractic.
I am professionally trained in five to six different Chiropractic Techniques. I determine which technique to use with each patient. Not all patients are the same, thus I use different measures with each patient. Each patient’s care and plan is specific to them. The technique I use for my oldest patient (95 years old), is obviously different for my youngest (2 weeks old). I will always use the technique that I feel will get the best results over the least amount of time, catered to the comfort level of each individual patient. Every visit, I evaluate each and every patient, to see if, and if so, where they need to be adjusted. Things change in a patient visit to visit and to identify these changes, takes time and care. I only adjust the specific joints that are not moving correctly, back towards their normal position. I also educate my patients on exercises and stretches to help their joints mechanically move correctly, as well as identify daily activities that can help or hinder these biomechanics.
I strive to teach my patients the best ways manage all exposure to stress to the body that can affect our overall health and wellness. Physical, emotional, and chemical stress all have far reaching effects on our health. How to respond and adapt to these stressors, it what separates us from illness, health, and ultimately the wellness we all desire and deserve.”
