About your Doctor…Dr. Cheryl Davis-Locke
Experience and a Strong Education form the Foundation for a life Dedicated to Improving the Health of Others.
“I have over 25 years of experience helping others regain their health. I first started, as a nurse helping others as they recovered from the shock of their newly diagnosed life threatening illnesses. But, I wanted to do more – to help others live a full and active life, so I became a Doctor of Chiropractic. Showing people that there is a great healing power within them, unleashing that power and educating them on just how their body function is my passion, especially when it comes to children.
Educating my patients is a big part of my practice. I firmly believe that the little decisions, which are made everyday, in regards to your health are vital to the well-being and longevity for both you and your family.
Besides deciding to keep the body’s network of nerves in communication with the brain and body, a person must look at their nutrition, sleep, exercise and emotional wellbeing. When these are all in harmony, true wellness can be achieved. This is what I truly get excited about—Total Wellness.

“My patients trust me with their health. And that’s a very good feeling...for both of us. Because of my postgraduate studies, (there are only about 200 of us with this degree), and my nursing experience, my patients know that their doctor is well versed in a variety of proven treatment methods with cutting edge technology. This makes it easier for us to work as a team and to rapidly achieve their health goals.”
