About Dr. Christine Meshew

Q: What makes you more unique than the average Chiropractor in your area?
I think that all D.C.’s have something unique to offer the patient. I believe my unique capability to heal comes from a diversity of techniques, and experience gained practicing over 18 years. Each year I like to challenge myself to learn something new to offer my patients an even better path to health. I have recently moved my practice into a new, smaller clinic format so I can spend quality time with the patients to ensure that all of their needs are being met.

Q: What did you do prior to Chiropractic school? I practiced as a massage therapist for YWCA in Phoenix, Arizona. During that time I focused on absorbing everything I possibly could learn about healing. It was a great foundation for me to launch into Chiropractic.

Q: What type of healing practices did you learn while being a massage therapist? During this time I studied shiatsu, foot reflexology, Swedish, and the most amazing technique, Jin Shin Jyutsu. In retrospect, Jin Shin Jyutsu paved the way for my interest in becoming an acupuncturist. My teacher at that time was Mary Burmeister, who brought this amazing mode of healing from Japan as taught by her master teacher. She not only taught me this mode of healing, but also how to read pulses and be very sensitive with my hands while healing. She also taught me a more spiritual side of approaching life that has always helped me through challenging times in my own life.

Q: What did you study in college prior to becoming a massage therapist? I majored in art education with double minor in special education and psychology. My intent was to become an art therapist (to assist people to heal on a subconscious level through art).

Q: What motivated you to go to Chiropractic school? Massage was simply too shallow in and of itself; I wanted to learn more about how to truly help heal people.

Q: What advice would you give someone in searching for a doctor of Chiropractic? Make sure that the doctor is not only well experienced, but listening carefully and focusing on your needs. You should feel that your time and money is being well spent, and that you are on a path to feeling your best.
