I was referred to Dr. Rueben in February of 2005 to see if he could help me with nerve pain that I had been experiencing for over a year. I had never been to a Chiropractor before and I was terrified of being adjusted. At the time I was on a “routine” of getting a cold every three to four months, which I thought was normal. I had been in restaurant management for years and had accepted the pain and my colds as something that was normal because I was getting older and that I would deal with for the rest of my life. After only a few months of treatment with Dr. Rueben, my pain was about 90% better. In May of 2005, I joined Dr. Rueben’s office as his Office Manager. Since that time I still get regular adjustments, my sciatic nerve pain is gone and I never call in sick!

You can count on me to greet you with a smile on the phone and at the door. I will handle all of your billing needs and will do my best to help you with any questions you may have about your Chiropractic care for yourself and your entire family.

When I’m not at work I enjoy camping with friends, stilt walking, scuba diving, doing photography and gardening. With all of my activities outside of work, I now understand how important it is to have a healthy lifestyle in order to play as hard as I work!

In December of 2009 I was kicked in the neck making it *pop in three different places. Receiving injuries in different areas of the body wasn’t too uncommon in my previous profession which was as a gymnastics coach and an acrobat. Within a day of being kicked most of my fingers were numb, my thumb was twitching, and I had a headache. I realized I needed help immediately before the pain got worse and spread to other areas of my body so I contacted a friend of mine who works for a Chiropractor and scheduled an appointment for a consultation and exam. I started receiving regular adjustments that not only relieved the work injury I’d received but I started to notice that I wasn't getting sick as often as I used to. I now receive adjustments for general wellness which still helps me maintain a healthy body from the inside out!

I didn’t have much faith in Chiropractic care before, but let me tell you that I am a believer now! I started working at Back to Basics Chiropractic P.C. in April of 2011 as a Chiropractic Assistant. I taught gymnastics for 6 ½ years and I am currently a flyer in an acrobatic group called Kazum. In addition to performing with Kazum I enjoy swing dancing and going to church weekly.
