Peak Wellness Family Chiropractic, a pediatric based chiropractic office in Summit NJ. Dr. Chris’s focus is on ensuring the health and proper development of children’s spines so that they may experience less injury and illness through their adult lives. Although Dr. Chris’s passion is in helping children, he sees a wide variety of ages and conditions. It is the sole mission of Peak Wellness Family Chiropractic to teach people about the detrimental effects that vertebral subluxation has on the spine. In doing this we hope to empower people to make more educated decisions regarding their health and wellbeing so that they may seek to prevent disease. If we can prevent conditions from occurring in the first place, we will lead to happier and healthier lives.

Taking care of families is extremely important to me. My goal is to help children grow into healthy adults by maintaining a properly aligned spine. In doing this those same children will experience significantly less health issues later on in life. But it doesn't stop there, once you reach adulthood your spine doesn't all of a sudden stop being important. It's the core and foundation of your body, taking care of it is the most important thing you can do for your health! Check us out at https:// www.PeakChiropracticNJ.com
