Welcome

Our Story

Hi!

My name is Dr. Zachary Cashin, I recently moved back to the Roaring Fork Valley thus fulfilling a lifelong dream of returning after attending Colorado Mountain College 38 years ago. While away from the valley, I raised a family, finished my premed and chiropractic college in the San Fransisco Bay area, and created a thriving chiropractic practice in Denver. Now that I am back, it is my intention is to be in service for the last decade of my career to the peoples of this sacred valley.

Though I lived on the Front Range for the last 25 years, I have stayed deeply rooted in mountain culture enjoying such activities as white water boating, backcountry skiing, cycling, backpacking, mountaineering, rock climbing, etc. My wife and I have been overwhelmed by the reception we received in the tribes that we have formed in the short period of time that we’ve been here. All signs point to the fact that we made the absolute right decision.

Thank you,

Dr. Zachary Cashin

Our Philosophy

My philosophy is straightforward. It is my hope to help as many people as possible to experience life to its fullest. Chiropractic deals with the brain & nervous system and everyone lives their life through this system. Avoiding drugs and surgery by using conservative chiropractic care helps to allow the body to heal itself. It is extremely satisfying to facilitate that process and see grandparents live a more active life and children to abandon inhalers, focus again at school, and return to playing outside or return to the sports they love. I relish the pleasure of adjusting a baby just after birth and setting that child on the path to health and full expression of life.

My Approach

Over the course of my journey as a chiropractor, my techniques have evolved, but they are still rooted in the fundamental philosophy that the power that made the body can heal the body from the inside out. Specifically, my technique has been based on spinal biomechanics and spinal biophysics, assessing how the body relates to gravity in three dimensions. Understanding that gravity has mass and is pushing down on us, creates resistance our body has to overcome through compensation via the musculoskeletal system.

This then creates misaligned “subluxated” vertebrae in the spinal column creating nerve root pressure that impedes the signal in the communication between the brain and all the tissue cells and organs that are connected to the brain via that nerve. To correct this, I teach postural awareness balance the pedal foundation, if needed, with inexpensive orthotics to reestablish normal curves in the spine through exercises, adjustments, and home care.

I also use acupuncture, cold laser, as well as a myriad of other techniques that help clear the body of energetic blockages left over from any and all mental, emotional, physical, and chemical stresses that may occur during an individual’s life. These stresses create “samscaras” or energy blockages that affect the body’s ability to communicate and therefore affecting overall health and wellness.

Chiropractic works by removing this blockage to nerve communication thereby allowing the body to optimize its ability to self heal and self regulate. Clearing these blockages allows individuals life force energy to flow unimpeded creating optimal potential mentally emotionally physically and socially. I practice what I preach and I preach what I practice and over 25 years of honing my skills as a chiropractor, life coach, and meditation coach I’ve had great success in helping individuals live very fulfilling lives in all areas.
