Dr. Paul Aaron, DC

It was 1966. A bus ran through a field towards Dr. Aaron’s car. There was no warning. Five years later, he was still in constant pain despite the trips to various medical doctors and rehabilitation centers. Then, he finally heard about a Doctor of Chiropractic. This chiropractor explained that the car accident had twisted Dr. Aaron’s body to the left, and he would restore his balance.

By 1978, Dr. Aaron was married and considering returning to school. He’d attended Duke University Medical College years before. He chose to enroll at Logan University. There, he was surprised that the courses were identical to those taken at medical college. Rather than learning about medications, chiropractic students learned about working with the body through natural means.

It Was Meant to Be

After two years of taking anatomy, chemistry and more, it was time for the students to begin adjusting others. Dr. Aaron placed his hands gently on his class partner. At that moment, he knew that he was created to do this incredibly important work.

I’d never felt so comfortable at anything I’d done before.

Discovering the Power of Craniopathy

In 1981, Dr. Aaron’s year-old son was injured. Though he survived, his eyes dimmed, and he was losing weight. Three months later, he met a chiropractor and craniopath. This expert explained that his son’s head had taken a hard hit. With gentle hands, he created a small movement that returned Dr. Aaron’s son to normal on the spot. Three months later, he was all caught up to his peers in weight and height.

Dr. Aaron decided to dedicate years of training to studying craniopathy and Sacro Occipital Technique with the chiropractor who had so helped his child. Dr. Reiss and his teacher, Dr. Dr. Bertrand De Jarnette, became mentors to Dr. Aaron. Dr. Aaron earned a certification in craniosacral therapy and acupuncture, enhancing the care he could provide to his patients.

He continues to learn by taking regular courses and seminars on a variety of subjects.

A Happy, Well-Rounded Life

Dr. Aaron and his family have been a part of our community since 1994. In his spare time, he loves to work on his solar-powered house, surrounded by gardens of fruit, vegetables, and flowers. He also raises chickens and guineas. He receives regular chiropractic care, as does the rest of his family. You might be surprised to find out that Dr. Aaron is a published author of both music and poetry!

Shannon’s a professional advancing her craft. I brought her a hot mess of a bod that hadn’t had a massage in 4 years. She didn’t batt an eyelash, talked with me about how she could best use the time she had with me and did an excellent job.Thanks Shannon! I would recommend myofascial release for an active person with tight, sore muscles over pretty much anything else.” – Lisa

Petty Josephine Cuevas

Massage Therapist

For some, pain is thought to be a way of life, however, through massage we can facilitate the body’s ability to heal itself, guiding you to a less painful future. I work in an intuitive yet very therapeutic fashion. Having certifications in hot stone and cupping as well as integrative reflexology gives me lots of avenues to work with to find the best road to serenity for you!

Always knowing that I wanted to be a facilitator of healing yet the first half of my life took me on a long way around to get there. That road with its ups and downs and twists and turns was only preparing me for this work. My passion to be a massage therapist was solidified when I learned that massage was at one time taught to nurses and was an integral part of western medicine. However; when pharmaceuticals were introduced massage was no longer deemed necessary. Touch is and always has been imperative to healing, and I am here to push and continue the reintegration of massage into the medical world.

Who We Help

In my work at Health Center of Hillsborough, I have been able to help everyone from athletes to those who simply want to have their bodies function at a higher level. Here I work together with a chiropractic physician this way we share our findings and give the best benefit to a particular individual. As a massage therapist I work with muscles and other soft tissue. As a chiropractor, the doctor works with joints and skeletal position.

I was referred to Lee by an American Doctor because of my 20 year addiction to cigarette smoking. Shocked is the word I must use as Lee in only 1 session taught me how to give up my addiction. I am now one year smoke free and feel amazing!
Wendy Wen-Amsterdam

Lee was always very welcoming and very easy to talk to. He was always very personable and professional with each visit. The environment was always comfortable and he made you feel at ease through out the process. Lee would explain and go through each process of working through some of the most difficult issues and help me understand why they still existed. He helped me work through some very tough past experiences and find ways to address them and how to let them go and forgive and allow myself to move forward and grow. He works with you to break down the walls and barriers that we build to protect to help us get back to our true selves. I would definitely recommend Lee, he has a gift, let him help. He definitely helped me.
