Transforming Health: Dr. Garrett’s Holistic Approach to Chiropractic Care

A dedicated chiropractor with over three decades of experience, Dr. Garrett continues to lead the way in holistic health and wellness at Optimal Health Center in the Phoenix metro area. With a profound commitment to educating his patients about the difference between health care and sick care, he emphasizes the importance of understanding and maintaining the nervous system for optimal health.

At Optimal Health Center, he adopts a holistic approach, striving to uncover the root causes of health issues rather than merely addressing symptoms. He provides personalized care tailored to each patient’s unique needs. By combining his extensive knowledge and experience with a compassionate approach, he helps patients achieve not just relief but lasting health improvements.

“I believe in treating the whole person and not just the condition,” Dr. Garrett states. “Many people rely on temporary solutions that mask their symptoms. My goal is to empower patients by helping them understand their bodies and the importance of proactive health measures.”

His journey in chiropractic began at Chabot College in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he laid the groundwork for his education before transitioning to Life Chiropractic College – West in San Lorenzo, California. There, he immersed himself in a rigorous curriculum that included biochemistry, anatomy, human physiology, and various chiropractic adjusting techniques. Graduating in 1987, he relocated to Arizona to establish Optimal Health Center, where he has since dedicated himself to transforming lives through chiropractic care.

Dr. Garrett’s philosophy is particularly relevant in today’s society, where the fastest-growing demographic is centenarians—people aged 100 and older. “As we age, it becomes increasingly clear that relying on chemicals and medications for wellness is not a sustainable solution,” he explains. “True health comes from understanding how to properly maintain the nervous system, which is crucial for overall well-being.”

For those seeking to enhance their quality of life and understand the true essence of health, Dr. Garrett invites you to visit Optimal Health Center. Experience firsthand the difference that holistic chiropractic care can make in your life.
