Dr. Hartle also uses Cranio-sacral therapy which helps with a variety of different conditions such as PTSD, anxiety, ear infections, and migraine headaches. Our primary goal is to provide exceptional natural health care that touches the mind,body, and spirit of individuals in a welcoming environment. Our secondary goal is toeducate individuals about how chiropractic care will improve their health by addressing current health concerns and motivating the pursuit of a healthy lifestyle. The most important aspect of chiropractic practice is preventive or wellness care. In order to keep our patients healthy and prevent future problems, we strongly emphasize nutrition, rest, exercise, stress management as well as regular chiropractic care. Dr. Hartle has years of post-doctoral training in nutrition and Functional Medicine. She is very passionate about getting to the root cause of the problem and working with patients to correct their metabolic imbalances to restore proper function to their bodies. She provides a comprehensive approach by looking at how all the body organs systems are working together and how they are affecting the health and wellbeing of each patient individually. Patients will learn to embrace a healthy diet, lifestyle modifications, functional medicine, exercise regimens, and a positive mental attitude in order to make lasting changes in their lives.
