Danny VanNoy
Infinity Wellness Center, Chiropractor
I am a chiropractor at Infinity Wellness Center. We use Applied Kinesiology and Functional Nutrition to treat the body as a whole and find the underlying cause of dis-ease, rather than just cover up symptoms. Acupuncture and massage are offered at our clinic as well. Ideal patients for me would be those who have been over looked by the western medical model of health care and those who are having trouble finding the missing link in their efforts to take their health back to optimal levels. I have had great results in dealing with patients struggling with allergies, food sensitivities, weight, headaches, adrenal fatigue, hormone imbalances, gastrointestinal issues, insomnia, brain imbalanaces, and genetics.
