Our team uses a "whole person approach". This approach to wellness means looking for the underlying causes, identifying any disturbance or interference (which may or may not be causing symptoms at the time) and assist by using whatever interventions and lifestyle adjustments that will optimize the conditions to return to normal function. Using this unique approach, we are able to help you to accelerate and/or maintain your journey to good health.
Dr. Christopher Sienes
Dr. Sienes has been providing chiropractic care in
While he is aware that most people think of chiropractic care as relief from back pain, neck pain and/or headaches, he knows that wellness cannot be achieved without maintaining a healthy spine and nervous system. It is the proactive approach to healthcare. He continues to share this knowledge through health and wellness talks both in and out of the office. The most enjoyable part of being a chiropractor for him is in serving those in the community, especially the relational aspect of working with his clients—making long-term connections with the people he cares for.
Dr. Sienes was an active member of Amador County Search and Rescue for over 20 years, teaches Sunday school for grades 5 and 6 at his church and is a long-standing member of Volcano Masonic Lodge. He lives with his wife, Jennifer, outside the small town of
Dr. Denise Mathre
Dr. Mathre is native to this area, growing up just outside of Mokelumne Hill. She attended Moke Hill Elementary, Toyon Middle School and Calaveras High School. A knee injury while playing high school basketball is what convinced her to pursue a career in chiropractic. She was mentored by Drs. Stuart in West Point, encouraging her to attend Western States Chiropractic College in Portland, OR. She graduated from WSCC in December 1996 with her Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree and was awarded their Clinical Excellency Award. Dr. Mathre started her first practice at Amador Chiropractic with Dr. Sienes in September 1997. She has been helping people express their best selves ever since.
Dr. Mathre regularly attends post-doctoral continuing education to consistently offer her clients the most up-to-date information and clinical excellence. She strongly believes that wellness is the new frontier in healthcare--and that chiropractic is the very best way to promote and maintain wellness. What is the best part of being a chiropractor? It’s helping people achieve health naturally. She loves helping people of all ages regain or simply improve their health. She especially enjoys working with pregnant moms, infants and young children- helping families get on the wellness track early in their lives.
Dr. Mathre lives on the outskirts of Jackson, surrounded by a small menagerie of rescued animals. She fills her days outside of the wellness center with caring for her home and animals, taking pictures of our beautiful Sierra Foothills, papercrafting (scrapbooking and cardmaking), hanging out with friends and family, and just sitting- watching the ducks play in the pond. On a warm sunny day, you just might find her riding her motorcycle on some quiet winding road.
Dr. Daniel Cockrell
Dr. Cockrell was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where he spent his high school days riding along with the San Mateo Fire Department, assisting on medical and fire scenes and studying for his EMT certificate. He graduated from Hillsdale High School and moved to northern California to study biology at California State University Chico. While in college, he spent some of his weekends working on a Paradise Ambulance unit, helping the sick and injured.
In his early twenties, Dr Cockrell's job required him to visit medical and chiropractic offices all over Northern California as a records copier. In medical offices he found himself surrounded by people looking to manage their illnesses and afflictions. While in chiropractic offices he found people excitedly living toward health and wellness. One day, while waiting to copy records, he was sitting in a chair in a chiropractor’s office- dealing with his own lower back injury. Seeing the condition he was in, the doctor approached him and offered something nobody else had, he offered hope. Dr. Corley began adjusting his spine and within two weeks, his life was turned back on, and he noticed he was functioning better than ever before. With great clarity after that short amount of time, he now knew what his lifes' purpose was.
After graduating from CSU Chico, Dr. Cockrell moved back to the Bay Area to attend Life Chiropractic College West, where he studied under some of the fields best instructors. He completed his internship at the Life West Health Center, graduating in September 2009 with his Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) degree.
As a new resident of Sutter Creek, Dr. Cockrell is the most recent addition to the Amador Chiropractic Wellness Center family. Here he is excitedly providing chiropractic care and coaching people on the benefits of living the wellness lifestyle. He is a strong supporter of making daily decisions and taking action towards living a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Cockrell recognizes that health is a result of deliberate actions and a positive mental attitude, it does not happen by accident.
In his time off he enjoys the outdoors and spending time with his family and friends. You might find him gently strumming his guitar or fishing a hidden stream. Dr. Cockrell believes it's important to continue learning, to keep the mind sharp and finds joy in reading to further his education and studying scripture to enrich his heart.
