Meet Dr. Lydia
Owner. Chiropractor. Wellness Advocate.
Each and every one of us is searching for consistent, lasting relief and the knowledge that the time and effort we put towards taking care of ourselves will give us more energy, less injuries and more life enjoyment.
We want this benefit for ourselves, but also for our growing children. I am no different from you.
In college two vehicles ran red lights, slamming into me. To address my injuries, I began to seek care. I did everything the doctors told me, but it wasn’t until I found chiropractic care and massage, and consistently integrated them into my monthly healing routine, that my daily pain decreased. It was my LIGHTBULB moment - taking care of my body consistently would prevent future injury and decrease the effect of current injury.
My Specialties
Among the many chiropractors you can choose from...
I’m obsessed with helping parents GROW healthy kids.
Working with families from pregnancy, birth and onward, I prevent small childhood injuries from leaving lasting physical impressions. Children compensate for injury and pain differently than adults do, so addressing each injury early on sets them up for success as they age.
My specialty care for INTENSE athletic performers is honed to benefit your athletic children
After seeing so many children and your adults develop repetitive stress injuries from year round sports, I added Sport Medicine to my certifications and I use my experience from working with high intensity athletes to benefit athletes in every sport.
I’m an all-in listener and understander.
Knowing what makes your family tick is what fuels my ability to prevent injury before it happens. This saves you time, expenses, and worry by giving you a healthy cheerleader for injury prevention in your back pocket.
