I recently moved to Harlingen for a better quality of life and to get back to surfing and beach activities! We all strive for Optimum Health and Well-being. I believe this is achieved through DYNAMIC BALANCE: Consistent healthy nutrition, restful sleep, positive mental attitude, passions in life, spirituality (one's own specific meaning that works best for them), a sound nervous system, ROUTINE CHIROPRACTIC CARE and regular exercise/ healthy activities. We certainly can't always maintain a perfect balance, so I emphasize a dynamic balance.

I am so looking forward to helping you help yourself towards better quality of life, for you and those who love you!
