I believe the body can heal itself in most situations and just needs to be guided in the right direction. What health care has taught me is that everyone is different, and we as health care professionals need to look at each person as a unique case and address their symptoms as such. Recovery doesn’t always come easy, but it does require a strong conscious effort by both the patient and the clinician for the best outcomes.
I have an array of experience to share with my patients gained from working in a stroke certified hospital, in the nursing home environment and in sports medicine and spine clinics. I come from a farming/ranching background where hard work was a normal day.
