He suffered with migraines since the age of five. “I tried every medication available but the headaches always returned. Chiropractic is the only treatment that actually got rid of my migraines and that’s the main reason why I decided to become a Chiropractor.” states Dr. Flood.

His philosophy is that health care is a partnership between doctor and patient. He feels that listening to the patient and learning about their lifestyle can give great insight as to why problems develop and how they can be eliminated. Each patient is treated as an individual and a program of care is designed specifically for them based on an extensive history and a thorough examination.
