Our Story

With a passion for natural healing and a commitment to helping our patients achieve health and wellness, we believe in taking a holistic approach to healthcare, addressing the root cause of your pain or discomfort rather than just treating the symptoms.

Our Mission & Vision

Our mission is to help patients achieve optimal health and wellness through natural and holistic approaches.

We believe that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, and our goal is to remove any barriers preventing this natural healing process. Through personalized treatment plans that focus on spinal adjustments, lifestyle modifications, and nutritional counseling, we aim to alleviate pain and discomfort and improve the overall function of our patient’s bodies.

We strive to create a welcoming and supportive environment where our patients feel heard, understood, and empowered to take control of their health. By staying up-to-date on the latest advancements in chiropractic care and continuously refining our techniques and approaches, we aim to provide the highest quality care possible to every one of our patients.

Our Doctors

Dr. Christophe Dean

A graduate of Palmer Chiropractic College, Dr. Christophe Dean opened his practice in 1976.

Dr. Dean specializes in the Activator Method chiropractic technique. As new technologies and methods developed, he has continued to add these to the treatments available to patients, including low-level (cold) laser therapy, Cox Flexion/Distraction technique, disc decompression, massage and cupping, rehabilitative exercise, spinal orthotics, foot orthotics, and nutritional support.

       As my father and husband had untreatable severe back conditions, I'd been taught to avoid chiropractic care. I was wrong! I came to Dr. Dean, my 4th referral. Both legs felt asleep always for months. Neither my PCP nor I knew why. Dr. Dean spoke knowledgeably, nicely showed me my issue, confirmed it with x-rays n tests. He was a doctor, no scams. By visit 12 at a month in - I have no pain in the morning!
Great Results - 50% overall improvement in my neuropathy

      I am a Chiropractor myself and see Drs. Dean whenever I need care. I recently had an ankle injury and was assisted by Dr. Dean with adjustments and shockwave therapy. Not only did they help me significantly, but they were able to help me avoid medication and more invasive procedures. If you are looking for a whole body, multi-disciplinary approach, this is THE place. Can’t recommend more highly.

      Dr. Christophe Dean is the kindest, most gentle, and caring doctor I have ever seen.  He takes time to explain what his treatment plan consists of so I know what to expect.  His knowledge base is vast consisting of current methods and his expertise.   He has kept me active despite being in pain!  I’m back in the gym 4 days a week lifting weights!   I can’t say enough about his office staff who are thorough and accessible in scheduling appointments and answering billing questions!
