Susan Field, Business Manager

 

I started Chiropractic care in 1993 when I was pregnant with my 2nd child. After suffering with headaches during my first pregnancy, I decided to try something new. After my first adjustment, my morning sickness went away, and after just a few more I was headache free. The rest of my pregnancy was a breeze compared to my first one including a quick and easy delivery. Now, my whole family and I are chiropractic people for life!
