Deanna understands that there is a combination of art and science in helping people with injuries.  She is driven to find and address all issues contributing to your symptoms, and is comfortable working with other health care providers to have all areas of concern addressed.
 

Education is a large part of Deanna’s practice, and will play a part in treatment of current issues, as well as prevention of future injury.  In today’s health care environment, we need to stress prevention and wellness, not just treat symptoms once they arise.
