I’ve been a patient at Health First Chiropractic for several months now, and I can’t say enough good things about this practice. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and exceptionally efficient. Appointment scheduling is a breeze, and I’ve never once felt rushed or overlooked.
Dr. Turner is a true professional—personable, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. He takes the time to thoroughly explain each adjustment and tailor treatment plans to my specific needs. I always leave feeling better than when I arrived.
Dr. Cherine’s positive energy lights up the entire clinic. Her enthusiasm and genuine care are evident in every interaction, making each visit a pleasure. Whether she’s offering guidance on posture or sharing helpful wellness tips, her passion for care shines through.
Last but certainly not least, the front desk team is outstanding. All three staff members greet you with a smile, handle billing and paperwork flawlessly, and go above and beyond to accommodate your schedule. Their professionalism and friendliness set the tone for your entire visit.

Dr. Cherine and her staff are amazing. This isn't just "a chiropractor" this is total body amd overall health. She has helped my son's sensory issues, my lower back issues and my wife's headache and sciatica issues. Cherine is full of energy, positive, and believes in the human body to do what its supposed to do. Her practice is great and I really wish I could send my whole family to her.

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.
I HIGHLY recommend this facility to anyone!!! The staff are always so welcoming. Dr. Cherine is wonderful with her Chiropractic skills. Everyone is so happy and cheerful. I also love how big they are into overall body health not just chiropractic side of things.
The staff is very knowledgeable and pleasant. I highly recommend Dr. Cherine.
Dr. Cherine is amazing! I've been coming here for over a year and a half now and I'm not in constant pain everyday like I used to be. The staff are wonderful as well and treat you like family 🩷
The staff is friendly and always ready to help or answer questions about your progress. Dr Cherin is 1st time I have been to a Chiropractor, she is professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this practice.
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.
This was my first time using a chiropractor and the experience has been great. They explain everything up front in great detail, so you know exactly what is going on. Everyone is nice when you come in and leave . The process is super fast making scheduling easy. They truly care about the patients care and wellbeing. 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.
