  • The lead up to opening Thrive Chiropractics in 2014 and how private practice allows Dr. D the flexibility to treat her patients in the way she feels is best (we’re looking at your new parents with little one’s who need adjustments - babies don’t always mold to our schedule!)
  • Treatment techniques like: Polyvagal Theory & Webster technique
  • How frequency of care allows our joints, muscles, and nervous system the ability to make and hold change
