I believe that true health begins with understanding the root cause of your pain, not just masking the symptoms. As the founder and lead practitioner at Pinnacle Health Chiropractic, my mission is to empower you on your journey toward optimal health through compassionate, science-based chiropractic care.
For 27 years, I have dedicated my life to helping individuals in Kirkland and the surrounding communities overcome chronic discomfort, recover from trauma, and achieve lasting mobility.
My Clinical Background and Expertise
My path in healthcare has been defined by a deep commitment to evidence-backed techniques and comprehensive patient care. Over the past two decades, I have developed specialized expertise that bridges traditional chiropractic manual adjustments with modern orthopedic science.
Orthopedic Surgical Case Management: My extensive experience collaborating on orthopedic surgery cases allows me to navigate complex spinal conditions, traumatic injuries, and severe structural issues with medical-grade precision.
Medically Collaborative Care: I work closely alongside medical doctors (MDs), osteopaths (DOs), physician assistants (PAs), nurse practitioners (ARNPs), physical therapists, and licensed massage therapists. This interdisciplinary network ensures you receive fully integrated treatment tailored to your specific needs.
Soft Tissue Expertise: Beyond joint mobilization, I specialize in targeted modalities for soft tissue dysfunctions—treating complex muscle, ligament, tendon, and fascia conditions.
My Approach to Your Care
When you visit my practice, you are getting more than just quick relief; you are gaining a dedicated healthcare partner. I take the time to thoroughly evaluate your musculoskeletal system, explain my findings in clear language, and involve you directly in your recovery plan.
"My goal is simple: to help you regain your strength, move without pain, and give you the knowledge you need to maintain your health for a lifetime."
Whether you are suffering from chronic back or neck pain, managing degenerative disc disease, recovering from an auto accident, or seeking relief from extremity pain in your shoulders, knees, or feet—I am here to support your recovery every step of the way.
My Professional Standards
My commitment to providing you with the highest standard of care is backed by extensive training and professional dedication. I have met rigorous standards to earn my National Board of Chiropractic Examiners Certification and my Washington State Chiropractic License. To ensure I am prepared for any situation, I also maintain my CPR and First Aid Certification.
Furthermore, I believe in staying at the forefront of the chiropractic profession by maintaining active memberships with leading organizations, including the American Chiropractic Association, the International Chiropractic Association, and the Washington State Chiropractic Association.
