OUR MISSION
Whether this is your first time seeing a chiropractor or functional medicine practitioner, or if you have been to similar practices in the past, you will notice The Highland Wellness Center difference as soon as you walk in our doors.
We take a whole-body approach to health and wellness called Applied Kinesiology. By targeting the three pillars of wellness – structure, chemistry, and psyche – we can help you achieve true healing. Our patient-centered technique shines through every aspect of your visit with us: from our technique and work-up, to your exam and follow-up.
We are here to treat you, not a general set of symptoms or another insurance claim.
Our doctors and highly-trained, professional staff members are dedicated and well-equipped to help you achieve total wellness!
“As a young child, I thought all doctors were chiropractors,” admits Dr. Duffy Jr. “Although I was treated for all the common childhood injuries, my earliest recollection of chiropractic was the recommended natural diet and comprehensive adjustments that treated not only pain, but also fever, earache, colds, and diarrhea! And I can tell you this, an AK adjustment broke a fever and stopped earaches and diarrhea in their tracks.
When I became nearsighted in the fourth grade, (couldn’t see the chalkboard) one morning my father woke me up at 4 a.m. and said, “OK we’re going to see Dr. Goodheart,” and off we went to Detroit, Michigan to see the Master. I remember looking at the eye chart to the line I could not read, then Dr. Goodheart inserted acupuncture needles in my ear points and immediately my eye focused and I could read the line.”

WHAT MAKES HIGHLAND WELLNESS CENTER DIFFERENT?
Our functional medicine doctors never rush through your first appointment. We schedule at least 60 minutes to discuss your health goals, answer your questions, and listen to your concerns.
A great doctor should also be a great detective who can uncover the root causes of your symptoms. We understand that any symptom is due to an imbalance of structure, chemistry, or psyche. When we understand the complex relationships of the body, we can get to the root of tricky symptoms.
Your health solution should be unique to you. We never use a one-size-fits-all approach but work hard to customize each patient’s treatment program.
The Highland Wellness Center specializes in Functional Medicine, Chiropractic Care, and Applied Kinesiology to help our patients achieve healing and wholeness.
