What is Switchback Chiropractic and Wellness?
I created Switchback Chiropractic and Wellness to help patients (like you!) feel their best and educate them on how to stay feeling their best! I don’t want you to come to the office, get treatment, and be on your way. I want you to understand what is happening, why your body responded this way, how YOU are going to fix it (with some of my help, of course), and how you can keep your body working well for the rest of your life! I want to know what you, the patient, want to learn about, and if I can’t teach it, I will make sure to bring in someone who can!

After a thorough examination, Dr. Josh will then discuss your individually tailored plan and explain how, through chiropractic care combined with lifestyle changes, nutrition, and movement, he can help you along your journey of health.

Too often, patients are just given a prescription and sent on their way. When you understand some basic principles about the body and dedicate time to caring for it, it’s amazing how far it will take you.
What Is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a specialized field of healthcare that concentrates on the assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal disorders, with a strong emphasis on conditions related to the spine. This discipline operates on the principle that the body possesses an innate ability to heal itself, and as such, chiropractic care often includes manual adjustments designed to correct misalignments within the spine and other joints. By addressing these alignment issues, chiropractors aim to enhance the overall functioning of the nervous system, which can lead to improved health and well-being. In chiropractic treatment, patients often experience relief from pain, increased mobility, and a significant enhancement in their overall quality of life. While most people think of chiropractic care for neck and back pain it can help with much more!

Why Switchback?
You’ve heard a little about why I started Switchback Chiropractic and Wellness and what we do, but I’m sure you’re also thinking what the heck is a switchback?! Well, I’ll be honest, the name was inspired by my all-time favorite Vermont beer of the same name (everything in moderation, folks!) and my love of hiking and camping. However, a switchback refers to a sharp, typically 180-degree turn in a path or road, and usually, there are multiple switchbacks in a row. You will often see this while hiking, another passion of mine, and they allow a hiker to ascend a steep section of the mountain that would otherwise be extremely difficult to just go straight up; the downside is that this adds significant distance to the hike. This describes almost everyone’s health journey. There’s going to be ups, downs, twists, and turns. Some sections are going to be longer than others. You may wander off the trail and get lost, temporarily, of course. You may be at the trailhead looking up and thinking there’s no way you could even start, and I’m here to tell you can and to be your trail guide along the way, as it’s always better to hike in groups!
