Dr. Davis practices in Kenmore, NY.  Even after serving generations of families in the Buffalo area community for over 40 years, he is still very passionate about his work.  His experience is evident in many areas including: nutrition, disc disease, degenerative joint disease, fibromyalgia, sports and dance injury, applied kinesiology, and geriatric care.  His all-inclusive approach to healing has extended to a wide circle of the top medical and alternative healers in Western New York.

Dr. Loren Miller takes us on quite an adventure, following the story of a green beret veteran with multiple spine issues.

Dr. Miller is an accomplished doctor and academic with both a Diplomate and Fellow status with the Academy of Chiropractic Orthopedists.

“I became a chiropractor because when I myself was going through unbelievable neck, back, and muscle pain.  A chiropractor was the only doctor who was able to give lasting relief from my suffering. And he did it without prescribing pharmaceuticals or cutting into me. I also liked the fact that he took the time to communicate with me about the different causes of neck and back pain.  My first chiropractor was the first to really talk with me about the pain that comes with back problems.  He also talked to me about chiropractic, pain and my overall health and wellness. Now that I too am a chiropractor, I emulate his compassionate approach.  I take every opportunity to talk about what it is to be a chiropractor, providing solutions for neck, back, and general muscle and joint pain with my patients.  I want them to know that we can offer many of them the relief they are in search of.”
