Jason’s first introduction to the profound healing effects of NUCCA happened at an early age. Jason’s mom, while 8 months pregnant was severely injured in a car accident fracturing her pelvis. For years after she suffered with debilitating hip and lower back pain that caused shooting pains down her leg. After years of suffering and exhausting all the traditional health care options his mom was referred by a friend to a NUCCA chiropractor. Shortly after her first correction she was pain free. At the age of 12 while playing hockey, Jason suffered a bad back injury leaving him nearly bed bound for 2 weeks. He then experienced for himself how a precise, gentle, biomechanics-based NUCCA correction could allow his body to heal, and he later pursued a Bachelors of Science degree and later a Doctor of Chiropractic degree to be able to provide the same NUCCA care that changed his and his Mother’s life.

Jason Is an active member of the NUCCA organization and will soon be joining the Upper Cervical Research Foundation (UCRF) to help NUCCA with future research projects.

When not in the office, you can find Jason enjoying hockey, mountain biking, kayaking, rock climbing, reading and hiking through the local or mountain trails.
