I was suffering from migraine headaches and Dr. Bowler gave me my life back. After years of not needing a chiropractor, I recently went back and saw Dr. Towers. Like Dr. Bowler, she was not anxious to adjust the spine if it was not necessary. She referred me for cranial sacral therapy and it helped me tremendously.

For 30 years this practice has kept our family of five healthy. Not the traditional chiropractic practice of cracking and weekly visits. Thank goodness. Once a year checks (or appt in the event of trauma) for us. Life under the care of this team is peaceful, I am forever thankful for their care and guidance.
