MEET THE TEAM

Practice Philosophy

To provide each and every patient we encounter with the best Chiropractic care that we can, with an emphasis on removal of subluxations to restore the bodies’ inborn ability to achieve optimum health. Patient education on proper nutrition and exercise are also important to us. Our ultimate office goal is to help as many people as we can discover Chiropractic and show them how to Take Charge of Their Health! Our treatment goals are to increase each patient’s function and decrease his or her symptoms, utilizing safe and cost effective Chiropractic methods. We take pride in finding their problem and doing whatever possible to fix it. If we discover a non-Chiropractic diagnosis we gladly refer patients out to the appropriate health care facility. We've got your back!

Receptionist Cyndi

Hi! My name is Cyndi. My husband and I have raised 2 daughters and now are the proud grandparents of 4. We enjoy bike riding and hiking throughout our beautiful area. My first experience with chiropractic care came at a time when I could not figure out why laying flat was just not possible. A friend recommended seeing a chiropractor. As I began treatment and "education" on the treatment of the spine, I immediately experienced change. Since that time, continuing care is a critical part of life for both my husband and I. Prior to joining the Ovenell Chiropractic family, I worked for 18 years cleaning homes; requiring a very physical demand from my body. Without the chiropractic care I received I do not feel that demand would have been possible. I am very proud and blessed to be a receptionist here at Ovenell Chiropractic, witnessing first hand the level of care and concern for each patient that comes into our office. I look forward to meeting you and assisting in your new or continued care!
