Philosophy of Care
Dr. Worthington's Approach to Chiropractic Care
Listen first, then build a plan for you
Dr. Worthington believes every patient deserves the time it takes to understand their problem. Each person walks in with different concerns and goals, so each plan is built around that person, not a template. The practice runs on a simple rule: we treat patients how we would hope to be treated.
"I’ve always known from a young age that I wanted to help people. Chiropractic gives me the platform to do so in a natural and side-effect free fashion. Each person is uniquely different and has their specific concerns that bring them in the door. I enjoy the time listening to them and proactively working together to achieve their goals while improving their activities of daily living. By taking this extra time, the patient acquires the highest quality of care, diagnosis, and customized treatment plan catered to them specifically." - Dr. Jared Worthington, DC
He is also honest about limits. If your exam points to something that needs care outside chiropractic, he will tell you and help you find the right next step.
