What is the best part of your job? The best part of my job is seeing the smiles on the faces of my patients who are enjoying a more active, pain-free lifestyle after chiropractic treatment. I have a family practice; my youngest patient is 5 days old and my oldest is 97.
I also enjoy working within a referral network with many Fox Valley physicians.

What advice do you have for people interested in the profession? Those interested in the chiropractic profession must commit to treating people with a variety of musculoskeletal conditions in an ever-changing health care environment.
My approach since starting my practice in 1992 has been a multidisciplinary one. We need to stay within the scope of our practice and make a referral to the appropriate physician if it is warranted.

What tips do you have for people who want to get rid of aches and pains? In my 18 years of practice, I have found that one of the main elements associated with the reduction of aches and pains has stayed the same: exercising and stretching on a daily basis.
In other words if you don't use it you lose it.
