History
Established in 1992.
After graduating with honors from Life Chiropractic College West in 1998, Dr. Elizabeth traveled around the world adjusting people in need. She volunteered in 14 countries and established four temporary clinics in Albania, South Africa, Kenya and India working with refugees and highly impoverished communities. The name Sunflower came from working with an NGO called the Balkan Sunflowers which works with refugee children and families in the war torn Balkan states. The sunflower is considered a sacred flower in many indigenous cultures as it follows the sun throughout the day. It symbolizes turning toward the light. For Elizabeth the name not only reminds her of her time spent with the amazing people she encountered there, but it represents the peaceful path to light or that which illuminates us! Chiropractic is a tool to help us along the way. Elizabeth established Sunflower Chiropractic Studio in her home «village» of Montclair. Come in and experience her gentle healing touch.
