Dr. Julia Pinkerton

Upper Cervical & Family Chiropractor

As a chiropractor I believe that our body has the ability to heal itself of any condition. I do not proclaim to treat any of the conditions listed above, though I have helped people in their healing processes. Day-to-day things can interfere with this process. The master control system, our nervous system, which coordinates ALL functions, can be interfered with when the spine misaligns. Chiropractors help return the body’s balance, allowing the body to return to optimal function.
