Dr. Cherine and her staff have been wonderful. I had two surgeons recommend spinal fusion surgery after a failed discectomy. My sciatic pain was so severe I would find myself balancing on one leg to try to ease the pain. Dr Cherine recommended spinal decompression and after one treatment I began to see results. I am so thankful for her expertise and would recommend Dr Cherine to anyone who wants improve their health.

My mom recommended be originally to Dr. Cherine. Since day one Dr. Cherine and all staff since day one have treated me like family. The office is fabulously designed! Not only was I very impressed by the diagnostic comprehensive exams they did (that other chiropractors don’t do) but I love the time they tooth with me and how
autonomous they are. Truly would recommend anyone that it’s having pain or anyone looking to improve their health. They don’t just help with back pain, their goal is total body wellness and health. It’s worth the investment!

As a first time chiropractic patient I wasn’t sure what to expect, but my results so far have been incredible. Unlike other medical offices I’ve visited, the staff at Health First provides a welcoming atmosphere that puts you at ease. The consultation is simple and all of my questions about treatment process were answered thoroughly. Each adjustment has brought me significant pain relief and increased mobility. If you are experiencing pain, discomfort or wish to improve overall wellness, I highly recommend Dr Cherine and her friendly staff.

Highly recommend to anyone looking for a chiropractor in the area .

Welcome to

Health First Chiropractic & Wellness

Our promise to you when you come to the practice is to provide undivided attention to your specific health and wellness needs. Every ache and pain in our bodies has an underlying cause. Though medication can offer temporary relief, it cannot correct functional problems of negatively affected spinal joints or unhealthy daily habits.

Chiropractic care is a more natural health approach than constant medicating and invasive procedures. Moreover, chiropractic care is safe! We look to correct the underlying cause of the problem rather than simply masking the pain. We utilize the most sophisticated technology to identify the true cause of your problem and develop personalized strategies to help you achieve optimum health and wellness.
