Get to know - Dr. Collan Koeppen, DC 

After years of pain from almost breaking his neck, Dr. Collan met a “non-cracking” chiropractor who precisely analyzed and gave him his first “upper cervical” adjustment. From there, his healing process accelerated, and it was the first time he felt the same freedom in his body, that he had felt at 8 years old prior to the injury. His chronic pain diminished, and his mood, energy, and performance improved.
