Growing up as an athlete, she understands the need to be as healthy as possible to ensure no injuries occur. Proper body function and biomechanics are a must. She was a 4-year varsity player of the volleyball team while at Franklin Community High School. She also went on to compete collegiately for 4 years for Huntington University’s Women’s Volleyball team in Huntington, Indiana.

Dr. Amanda is passionate about serving patients of all ages; carrying through that everyone deserves to be the healthiest person they can be. Babies from a few minutes old to the elderly, and everyone in between are welcomed with open arms at Optimal Vitality Chiropractic!

She is proud to be serving the community in which she grew up, and has a chiropractic philosophy that is simple. She hopes to help as many people as possible to experience life to its fullest. You live your life through your Nervous System, and Chiropractic care deals with restoring and balancing that system. Avoiding drugs and surgery by using conservative chiropractic care helps to allow the body to heal itself.

Dr. Amanda specializes in Koren Specific Technique (KST), and it is the most utilized technique in the office. It is a chiropractic technique that is very different from a traditional chiropractic adjustment. It is gentle yet very powerful. Corrections are administered using an adjusting instrument called an ArthroStim that allows for precise adjusting. There is no twisting, cracking or popping that occurs with this type of an adjustment. Therefore, all ages benefit from KST. There are many ways that our bodies communicate with us and with KST we can pinpoint the priorities in your body and adjust accordingly; never doing too much or too little.
