I am grateful to have had a very successful practice for over 15 years in the Highlands and Cashiers area, and now also in Clayton, Georgia. 

For 20 years prior to going back to school to earn my doctorate in chiropractic, certification in medical acupuncture, and Masters in nutrition, my passion involved being a tennis and platform tennis professional. For many years after those careers, I suffered with spinal stenosis and chronic back pain.  

Over my years of practice and adding a strong nutritional focus, I have been able to better handle the inflammation associated with the degeneration in my spine. I’ve added new therapies as I continue to find more ways of natural healing for the body. 

This past year has been the most fun ever, having found a most remarkable, effective, natural, and non-invasive treatment to better equip the body to handle acute and chronic pain patterns. We refer to this technology as TRT (Tissue Regeneration Therapy) or SoftWave Therapy. This medical device actually activates our dormant stem cells through “unfocused acoustic wave delivery” which sends sound waves into the connective tissues where the body is injured or inflamed.  

This non-invasive and very safe treatment is still showing a 91 percent effective rate over the 15 months that I have been using it in practice. The research continues to get stronger and the device is now being sought by professional sports teams, hospitals, and orthopedic practices across the world. 

When I first found out about TRT, it was the first few months of the pandemic and I wanted something to help even more people with their pain and to alleviate potential ER or hospital visits. A colleague presented the TRT process and I decided to experience it myself first to be sure the claims were valid.  I knew it was FDA-approved and showing great research results already.  After two weeks of treatment, my daily pain went from a 6/10, sometimes higher, to a 2/10!  I could move more easily and without that “catching” pain I’d had for about three years. I knew I would be able to help many more patients with this new technology so I brought it to my practice. Fourteen months later, I have little or no pain at all most days and my freedom of movement is practically pain free!  We have used this therapy on so many patients suffering for years with debilitating and chronic pain and they are resuming “normal” activities and having a life of fun and vitality with much less pain and suffering. As a doctor, this is what I’m most passionate about. 

Reducing inflammation naturally at the cellular level and allowing the body’s natural abilities to work has a powerful effect on pain and healing. Stem cells within the body are just waiting for some direction, and the TRT approach stimulates this process over the course of mere weeks. The results speak for themselves!
