Chiropractic is a form of alternative medicine that mainly deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, especially the spine. A chiropractor uses spinal adjustments, manipulation, and other techniques to manage patients’ health concerns, including neck pain and back pain. They aim to improve patients’ functionality and quality of life by properly aligning the body’s musculoskeletal structure and enabling the body to heal itself without the use of medication or surgery.

Staying active is very important to him and he accomplishes this by exercising and golfing whenever possible. He also plays basketball, softball, and will challenge anyone to a friendly game of ping pong. When at home, he loves watching all sports but really enjoys cheering on the Vikings, Twins, Timberwolves, and Wild.
