Hi! As a chiropractic patient, Dr. Spainhower saved me from back surgery after my car accident. It is now my honor and privilege as his chiropractic assistant to help our patients on their journey to complete wellness! My hobbies include Zumba, playing basketball, and eating amazing food!

Chiropractic Assistant

Hi! I love working here at Spainhower Chiropractic because I get to be involved in seeing patients feel better and improve their quality of life! It’s a privilege to be a part of people’s healing journeys. Chiropractic has helped me personally work through back issues without having to go through the traditional medical route. In my spare time I love to workout, spend time with my husband and family, cook, and bake!
