PERSONAL

When Dr. Blair was in high school, she was a competitive dancer who suffered from extreme exertion pain in her rib cage. She went to several doctors checking her lungs and liver, with all tests coming back normal. One of her best friends was a Chiropractic Assistant, and suggested that she come see her Chiropractor. She started receiving regular chiropractic care, and all her pain dissipated. Not only was she pain free, but she noticed she could breathe easier, her lifelong allergies disappeared, and she was an overall more energetic and positive young teenager. As her high school years progressed, she knew she wanted to become a chiropractor. Dr. Blair has always had a passion for health and fitness and a drive to inspire those around her to live a healthy lifestyle.
