Why I Love Chiropractic
After more than 30 years as a Tulsa chiropractor, I can say without hesitation — I absolutely love what I do. Chiropractic isn’t just my profession; it’s my purpose. Every day, I get to help people move, heal, and rediscover life without pain. Watching a patient walk in hurting and leave smiling — that’s what keeps me inspired after all these years.
The Power of the Adjustment
There’s something remarkable about the power of a chiropractic adjustment. It’s not about “cracking” joints — it’s about restoring balance, motion, and connection between the spine and nervous system. When your body is aligned, it heals naturally.
That’s why I’ve dedicated my life to mastering the art of precision adjustments — specific, gentle, and done with purpose. Whether it’s back pain, neck pain, headaches, or sciatica, an adjustment can unlock the body’s potential to heal itself. Every time I see that instant change — the deep breath, the smile of relief — it reminds me why I love this work.
Listening, Intention, and Healing
Over the years, I’ve learned that true healing starts with listening. Every person who walks into my office has a story — how their pain began, how long they’ve struggled, and what they’ve already tried.
When I listen closely, I can tailor care to their specific needs. Each adjustment I deliver is done with clear intention — to release pressure, restore function, and bring peace back to the body. Chiropractic is as much about connection as it is about correction.
The Therapies That Transform Lives
While the adjustment is the heart of chiropractic, modern care also means using advanced, non-invasive therapies that accelerate healing and improve results. My clinic combines chiropractic with cutting-edge treatments such as:
- Spinal Decompression Therapy – gently relieves disc pressure and promotes healing for herniated or bulging discs.
- Low-Level Laser Therapy – reduces inflammation, improves circulation, and speeds tissue repair.
- invisa-RED™ Weight Loss Laser – activates fat metabolism, helps shed inches, and supports better overall health.
- Styku 3D Body Scanning – provides measurable insights into body composition and transformation progress.
Together, these therapies help patients overcome chronic pain, recover from injuries, and restore vitality — naturally and safely.
Beyond Pain Relief: Whole-Body Wellness
Chiropractic care is about more than getting out of pain — it’s about staying well. It’s posture, movement, mindset, and energy. It’s helping your body function the way it was designed to. My goal for every patient is not just to relieve symptoms, but to help them experience more life — more mobility, more energy, more confidence.
That’s why I often say: “Healing happens when we align body, mind, and intention.”
When we do that, the results can be extraordinary.
Sharing the Message Through My Books
My passion for helping people live pain-free and healthy lives inspired me to write two books:
- Winning at Back Health – a guide to understanding spinal health, posture, and the principles behind my Ryan Technique, a method designed to restore alignment and prevent future injury.
- Vitalityspan: Unlocking the Secrets to Longevity – a deep dive into living longer, stronger, and happier through a balanced approach to health, mindset, nutrition, exercise, and purpose.
These books are extensions of my mission — to educate, empower, and inspire others to take charge of their health.
Why I’ll Always Love Chiropractic
After all these years, I still feel grateful every time a patient tells me, “I can finally move again,” or “I slept through the night for the first time in months.” Those moments are what it’s all about.
Chiropractic is more than spinal adjustments or pain relief. It’s about hope, healing, and the incredible ability of the body to restore itself when given the right care.
It’s about listening. It’s about intention.
And above all — it’s about love.
