A Message from the Doctor:
Exercise science is about strengthening the muscles and getting them moving properly, whereas Chiropractic is about aligning the joints or bones and getting them moving properly. So when they’re both working together in harmony, you have the best physical function and health. This is what I am striving to help all our patients achieve!
I’m very excited to have joined Dr. Bill and the rest of the Barrett Whole Body Chiropractic family! I feel grateful to be given the opportunity to serve the South Hills communities that I grew up in and help them on their journeys to health!”
