We
first encountered Evergreen in July of 1989 while traveling through Colorado
from California on our honeymoon. We were married for just one week and were
looking for the ideal community to begin our life and Chiropractic and massage
practice together.
We found Evergreen enchanting and beautiful and it met all of our criteria
including mountains, rivers, lakes and a community that would welcome our work. We found
office space at Lakepoint Center - directly across from beautiful Evergreen
Lake! By May of 1991, construction was complete and we opened our doors for
business.
Another major goal for us was to be close to a major city which would
give us access to travel and continuing educational opportunities. "Continuing
Ed is very important to me beyond my licensure" says Dr. Doug. "I love it
because I keep up on all the latest techniques and products so that I can always be providing
my patients with state-of-the-art Chiropractic care. It allows me to keep
investigating and implementing what works and what is most effective for our
patients."
Over our fifteen years of practice we have continued to learn and grow,
applying new techniques, adding new products and offering new services. Our practice has grown to include not only Chiropractic care
and massage, but also on-site x-ray, therapeutic exercises and stretches, injury
rehabilitation, relaxation and stress reduction, traditional Chinese
Acupuncture, as well as orthopedic products, custom foot orthotics, and
nutritional supplements.
We feel "hands-on health" accurately describes our friendly and compassionate
approach to creating a healing environment where the emphasis is on "caring". At Lakepoint Chiropractic & Massage Center, our goal is to put the
"care" back into
healthcare!

Our Greeting Committee
|
|

Doug and Sky |
For years our patients were cheerfully greeted by our beautiful friend Sky, a
gentle Golden Retriever. After many happy years together, Sky passed on.
Although she is gone, she isn't forgotten. We missed her terribly, and it turned
out our patients missed her friendly face and gentle greeting - the office just
wasn't the same! So, in 2004 we adopted Cody - a rather gentle giant! Cody is the newest member of our staff, responsible for greeting patients. He's
still learning his job, but he's improving daily!
