Rachel, Social Media Manager
Rachel (wife of Dr. Clugston) is a mom of two, former teacher and the "behind the scenes" employee at Clugston Chiropractic. Rachel handles the website, manages our social media pages, and can occasionally be spotted at the office answering the phones and chasing after Liam and Allie who also enjoy helping out and getting adjusted at Dad's work. Like everyone else at Clugston Chiropractic, I have learned how crucial it is to live a healthy, holistic lifestyle and have seen first-hand the benefit the whole body approach can have on your health, and on the health of young, growing children. I am very proud of my husband, the practice he has grown and the relationships he has built with his patients- many of whom have become like family to us throughout the years.
