"Visualize stacking up dominoes and putting a bowling ball on top. Biomechanically, that’s the structure we are working with, and the critical area is right there at the base of the skull.

If you look at the way that it’s designed and put together, that’s the critical area that will discern where the weight of the head is being carried. And if you center that, the rest of the spine can balance with it."
- Dr. Julie Mayer Hunt

I have been coming here for years now. Dr. Examen is phenomenal! He is very personable! Even though I could not see him much lately because of my health, he remembered everything that I needed for my health. We just added a few more. He even asked how my other half was doing! I had relief of my neck problems over the next few days. I still have problems that plague me. But, eith each visit I get better and better. I fall quite a lot due to a disease I have that causes blackouts. With his care, he relieves

Dr exume is amazing to say the least! I can't begin to say how much he's helped me with my back and all the pain I've had over the years! I know when I leave there I'm going to feel 100% better! He has magic hands! Couldn't imagine going anyplace else!

Darlene S. | Jan 27, 2023
I've been to many chiropractors and Dr. Jean's office is by far, the best. I am confident just after one visit, that I won't be searching for another chiropractor. Not only was I meant to feel comfortable, Dr. Jean and staff were both professional and personable. He listened, and gave me knowledge and explanation before he even began his work and I appreciated the level of connection and understanding we had from the get to. Excited to continue to visit and bring my newborn soon!

MICHELLE M. | Aug 07, 2020
I have been a patient of Dr jean's for at least 6+ years and get headaches on regular basis, I have come to learn which headaches require meds or a trip to see Dr Jean. After my adjustment within hours the headache is gone. If you get severe headaches you should definately give this a try.

Dr. Jean is wonderful. He explains everything he is doing and the process in complete details that is easily understandable. Dr. Jean is very knowledgeable and a wealth of information. He is very thorough in every appointment and takes his time with you. There is a relaxation room in the office which is blissfully heavenly. Daisy who works the front of the office is very nice and helpful. Everyone in Dr. Jean's office is very commentating to your needs. I look forward to my appointments and I have noticed a difference in my neck and back.

Reesa S. | Apr 30, 2017
Dr. Exume is an excellent practitioner. He is intelligent, competent, enjoyable to work with and really cares about his patients. He always goes out of his way to explain everything and to ensure you understand what he is doing and why. And the treatment he gave me yesterday was so surprisingly successful in reducing my pain from a chronic back problem that I've been smiling all day.

Michael M. | Apr 12, 2017
Dr. Jean is everything that I was looking for in a chiropractor . He is compassionate, knowledgeable, kind, and administers very effective chiropractic adjustments. You will not find the "cookie cutter" chiropractic approach that I have seen utilized in many offices practiced here. The care that Dr. Jean provides is very individualized. My first upper cervical adjustment was very powerful! I am very thankful to have found Desiring Health Chiropractic!

Julie E. | Apr 06, 2017
Dr Exume definitely knows his stuff. I leave there every visit feeling much better than I did when I went in. And more than that, he always remembers me; what we've talked about, what's going on my life. Along with being a great chiropractor, he could teach most doctors lessons in caring about his patients.

Darragh W. | Mar 01, 2017
I had severe neck pain for almost two years. I started seeing Dr. Jean and it took a few treatments until suddenly after a treatment I was drastically better. I started to hold in the right place and I was sleeping better and could my chin to my chest with almost zero pain! I recently went too long between treatments and started to get pain again. Today after only one session I am right where I left off! I'm so happy with Dr. Jean. He is friendly, comfortable and makes the pain go away!

A wonderful experience from the minute I walked in until the moment I left. The receptionist was kind and friendly, the office felt more like a comfortable living room than a doctor's office, and Dr. Exume was knowledgeable, personable and just a great person. Highly recommended and I will be going back for sure.
