After suffering from a torn hamstring, Dr. Alicia Armitstead discovered both chiropractic and nutrition to be effective forms of treatment and decided to dedicate her life to the study of these medicinal arts to help others reach their optimal health. 
 
Dr. Armitstead strives to provide a high level of professionalism along with quality, patient-focused care. She designs specific treatment plans unique to the individual needs of each patient that emphasizes active patient participation and education.  She also helps her patients recover more quickly and return to their activities sooner, heal more completely, and decrease their chances of relapse.
