Why Chiropractic Care
Parkside Clinic - A Place for All
Before we opened the doors to Parkside Clinic, I had a vision that we would be a community resource. Our patients would come to Parkside and experience excellent clinical chiropractic care and massage therapy. Central to our clinic is my passion for working with people and doing my best to help them. This is woven into practices. Now that we have been open for almost 13 years, I am able to look around and see that Parkside is a place where we welcome all, treat everyone with respect, and achieve good clinical outcomes.
