Dr. Greg's Personal Note:
“As a high school freshman I was injured by a collision during basketball practice. Following this collision I experienced several severe migraine headaches. After all the medications failed my parents brought me to our local chiropractor who treated the neck problem that caused my headaches. Chiropractic has since become not just a career for me, but a lifestyle. Outside of our office I enjoy hiking, rollerblading, kayaking, cycling, woodworking, and working with young pitchers."

Dr. Heather's Personal Note:
“I love the natural, holistic premise of chiropractic. I hope to educate the public that there are ways to approach health from a natural, drug-free angle. I originally chose chiropractic as a profession due to my experience as an athlete who benefited greatly from chiropractic care and my passion for being around athletes. I really enjoy working with athletes and my future goal is to be the U.S. team chiropractor for the Olympics. My other passion is treating women during pregnancy and post-partum as well as infants and children. I have personally experienced the benefits of chiropractic while pregnant and seen how it has helped my son as an infant. Finally, I find it very rewarding working with patients to improve their diet and determine which nutritional supplements are right for them. In my spare time, I enjoy reading and learning about nutrition and natural, green living and parenting, which I write about in my blog, “Mom Going Green” (www.momgoinggren.wordpress.com add hyperlink). My hobbies are being outdoors, hiking, camping, fishing, boating, running, cycling, and preparing wholesome foods for our family. Most dear to my heart is my role as a wife and mom.”
