Dr. Gene Cretsinger’s passion for chiropractic began after a personal health breakthrough. As a teen, he struggled with debilitating migraines that traditional medical care couldn’t resolve. After experiencing life-changing relief through chiropractic care, he discovered his calling and enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic. Since then, Dr. Gene has devoted his career to helping generations of families pursue drug-free, holistic wellness through chiropractic care and education.
