Food for thought if you suffer from any of these issues and pills won't work and you don't want to go under the knife.
"I see a mix of everything. My youngest patient is less than a year old and my oldest is in their 80s," Dr. Porterfield said.
Originally majoring in Biology, Dr. Porterfield became interested in chiropractics from a friend.
"One of my buddies told me about it and every single day during my senior year he asked me about it," Dr. Porterfield said. "It wasn't even in my radar...and then I looked into it and realized that the field was awesome. So I started visiting schools and ultimately went to Logan College and haven't looked back."
With a deep-seated desire to help people, Dr. Porterfield is able to use his abilities to assist his patients. The techniques he uses in his practice are: Activator, COX, Diversified, and Thompson. The services that are offered at Porterfield Family Chiropractic are: adjustments, therapies like ice and stem and tractions, exams and re-exams, and ex-rays. His philosophy is fixing issues that get long-term results. Thinking about a person's health in the coming years and how what he or she does now to change it is his focus.
