Taylor Donovan, Chiropractor

Dr. Taylor Donovan believes that our dynamic bodies yearn to express health through the changing phases and events that they live through.  Dr. Donovan feels privileged to work with the human body and finds that the secret to good health isn’t hidden in some distant land, book, or glossy catalog but tends to be sitting in the most unsuspecting places inside of our own experiences.  Patients will receive a thorough evaluation, muscle testing, and palpation of the spine.  Adjusting techniques range from gentle mobilization to gentle instrument assisted adjusting and traditional hands-on methods.  Dr. Donovan also feels that there is a technique for everyone and what worked yesterday may not work today, as our bodies are more like rivers than recipes.
