About Us
The Importance of Functional Health
With functional Health, the Doctor treats the mind and body as a whole, and collaborates with the patients’ other healthcare and wellness practitioners, for a comprehensive treatment approach. For instance, instead of simply prescribing pain relievers to address a painful symptom, the functional health practitioner strives to diagnose and treat the root cause of the pain. A functional health practitioner understands that the mind, body and spirit are connected and that each component must be functioning well for the body to be in balance.
Dr. Jodi is proud to be part of the local community and provide a high level of customer care, chiropractic experience, and a commitment to health and wellness to all her patients. Her goal is to improve your lifestyle by caring for your health through good care and education.

Chiropractic Care
Dr. Forcey Porter has years of applied experience in spinal and chiropractic adjustments. The purpose of spinal adjustments is to return the spine to a natural state of health and to reduce pain, muscle spasms, and nerve irritation, so you can enjoy your life pain free. All functions of the body communicate through the spine, and proper alignment is necessary for healthy body function.
Integrative Health and Functional Health
Similar to "Functional Medicine and Integrative Medicine", Functional Health and Integrative Health analyzes ones blood chemistry to affect health outcomes. Uniquely, Functional and Integrative Health doesn't use pharmaceuticals in any treatment plans.
Dr. Jodi will take an “integrative” approach to your healthcare by utilizing science-based investigation tools such as comprehensive clinical lab testing in order to determine the actual biochemical cause of a patient's problem; she then uses natural and alternative means help stabilize and correct it. Aligning health with life.
Natural - Botanical
Let’s discuss “natural” and “organic.” While these words are often used synonymously, there are significant differences between organic products and natural products. If a product has “natural” on the label, it was produced by nature but is not necessarily “organic.” Natural beauty products may contain ingredients that are not 100% organic, and there are no regulations regarding use of the word “natural” as there are with the word “organic.” Natural products can contain chemicals, while organic products cannot. Organic strictly refers to product ingredients grown without pesticides, chemicals or artificial fertilizers.
