Meet the Doctor

Hello! I’m Dr. Coby Perkins and I want to thank you for taking the time to visit our website and learn more about our clinic and how we make a difference in people’s lives. We're a family oriented practice and typically we see patients ranging from preschool age to 80 and beyond. My area of expertise is in helping patients recover from a variety of musculoskeletal conditions that are affecting daily activities, athletic performance, and work capacity. Basically, we help relieve pain and suffering for people, we help improve people’s mobility and function in a lot of ways, and we also offer solutions to help people STAY active and healthy once they’ve accomplished the pain relief they’re looking for.

The conditions we see most frequently include everything from tension headaches, to neck or shoulder pain, back pain, sciatica, as well as sports injuries and arthritis, to name a few. We offer a range of clinical techniques that allow us to provide a more personalized approach to healing and recovery. Our clinic also features the same cold laser technology used for professional athletes including Lance Armstrong, as well as a growing number of professional sports teams.

You don’t have to look far to start noticing how many people suffer chronic conditions who aren’t able to move or function well - people who are ‘sidelined’ and unable to enjoy activities because of pain.  I can't help but notice the growing number of YOUNGER people developing chronic health problems.  My purpose is to help change that so we can make a DIFFERENCE in people’s lives. Our mission at Perkins Family Chiropractic is to improve the health and long term well-being of our patients by providing healthcare solutions that are surprisingly gentle, safe, and effective.

"If you're like most people, including myself, you would much rather take the easy path and not change much about your life.  But you know, the longer I live - the more value health seems to have.  I know I can't just 'coast along' and expect my health to improve over time.  So if you want to stay healthy over time,  begin to adopt healthy habits such as an exercise program, proper diet & nutritional support, and regular chiropractic care to help you protect your most valuable asset, your health."
