Our mission is simple: to help you overcome injury, restore optimal function, and elevate your performance—whether you're recovering from pain or chasing new personal bests.
We understand how frustrating it can be to feel lost in a healthcare system that prioritizes volume over quality.

A Proven Approach to Pain and Performance
At First In Osteopractic Wellness, we combine advanced manual therapy, precision strength programming, and comprehensive wellness coaching to create a personalized roadmap for your recovery and peak performance.

We don’t simply address the symptoms. Our expert providers identify the true root cause of your pain using extensive diagnostic skills honed from years working with elite military units. From there, we guide you through a comprehensive plan that integrates:
- Manual therapy (including dry needling, spinal and extremity manipulation, and soft tissue mobilization)
- Customized strength programming designed to enhance healing and resilience
- Nutrition, stress management, sleep optimization, and wellness coaching
- One-on-one treatment sessions lasting a full hour with your dedicated therapist
This integrated model ensures you leave stronger, healthier, and better equipped to stay out of the injury cycle.

Testimonials
Shannon Daggett
"I've struggled off and on with shoulder pain for well over a year. I've tried traditional physical therapy and stretching on my own, but it always seemed to flare back up. In just a few weeks, Dr. Jared had me feeling SO much better! He takes the time to assess where you're at and with careful consideration, guides you along your individualized recovery journey. 10/10 would recommend!"
Ryan Hester
"Amazing experience. Jared is one the most knowledgeable, skilled, and passionate providers around. I have been seeing him for an ongoing shoulder issue and he has drastically improved my pain and mobility in just a few short weeks. He makes the experience personalized to each client and their needs. His years of experience and skill set is noticeable. I would highly recommend!"
Rose Foulis
"Dr. Jared is without question, the absolute best there is. After I injured my knee skiing earlier this winter, Jared was my first call. Because of my career- I did not have the time to be down and out with an injury and I knew he would get my up and running again quickly and effectively. He used many top notch therapies including, dry needling with e-stim, blood flow restriction, red light therapy and cupping. Along with those, his expertise in exercise selection has me nearly pain free and close to being back to 100% in just a few short weeks! If you do not have time to be sidelined, Jared is your guy."
