At first I had my doubts about acupuncture. Now I'm a believer in this method specifically for pain relief. A few months before my primary doctor ignored my questions about back pain and suggested I take over the counter pain medication. Later, my lower back pain spread down to the backside of my left leg. At that time, a pain specialist determined I suffered from severe sciatica pain and surgery was probably the only solution. My pain started in my lower back and radiated to my glutes, hamstrings and when standing it would shoot sharp pain to my calf. Dr. Elise Mankoska knew exactly how to relieve my pain. She was very knowledgeable about acupuncture, insightful about natural ways to heal my body, and reassuring throughout my whole process. Prior to getting acupuncture, I was basically immobile for a whole month without much movement. The only comfortable position was laying on my stomach. My first time coming to Dr. Mankoska, my pain level was a 8 out of 10. She made controlling my pain a priority and did everything she could to help me. She made me feel important and valued as a patient by listening and paying attention to my concerns. After 3 visits, I was almost 90% recovered. After a whole month of severe sciatic pain, I was finally starting to have some relief. I also tried chiropractic care prior to this with no change in my condition. Im glad I decided to try acupuncture. As I continue to strive to be a healthier me, and manage the ways I can control my pain, I will continue to do acupuncture and have regular visits with Dr. Mankoska! Thank you Dr. Elise Mankoska I am grateful for you and your staff & appreciate all your help!!! Top tier service! read more

This sets the gold standard for chiropractors! instead of a five minute session, often accompanied by bone crunching sounds, Dr. Mankosa starts by finding out what's wrong and then follows through with a well-thought out treatment plan. Best of all, the treatment is effective! And, to top it off, the staff is very professional, very friendly and a delight to be with. I look forward to each visit and am thankful for each treatment. read more

Dr. Mankosa is genuine and a true professional. She is very compassionate and you can see that all she wants to do is reduce the pain that you are in and start a treatment plan for a complete recovery. She has a wonderful staff working for her, they even accommodated me to be seen very quickly after a horrible experience with another chiro in town. Dr. Mankosa was going to be out of town for a week and she told me that if I had any pain to come into the office and that her staff would provide therapy, I would be taken care of. From my first visit, my headaches are gone, the tightness of my jaw has subsided. read more

I'm rarely impressed with services these days but am consistently impressed with the care and positive results I receive at the hands of Dr Mankuso and her team. Just outstanding! read more

The VA gave me a referral to get work done here. I would show up and wait 10-15 mins between all the different procedures. After working a 10 hour day to come and spend 45 minutes of my appointment sitting there, not worth it. Got a referral to Heuser Chrippractic office. So far a much better experience. read more

A fantastic visit to an all encompassing chiropractor and acupuncturist who is interested in helping with whole body health rather than just alleviating symptoms. I appreciate that. Chiropractors have so many styles that it can be difficult to find one that really works well with you, but this doctor definitely did it for us. We recently moved to Yuma, so we're having to develop new relationships with everyone. After watching my treatment, my teenage son asked for an appointment and he's interested in trying her acupuncture as well as chiropractic treatment. It's amazingly low cost as well, and we will definitely be back. read more

Worst place ever the doctor is so rude and literally only cares about money and not the patients. She doesn't even have the decency to knock on the door when coming in and I'm changing. Don't waste your time here read more

My husband had a back injury and did not want to take pain meds so we went to see Dr. Mankosa who I must say is absolutely amazing. Her knowledge and expertise is a breath of fresh air for those considering alternative methods. My husband was apprehensive but is feeling so much better we will definitely continue with Dr. Mankosa. Her assistant Melanie is very kind and helpful. Much gratitude. read more

My wife first went here with terrible back pain. After a few treatments my wife is feeling alot better. I have started treatments and Dr. Mankosa is very knowledgeable and knows what she is doing. Her assistant Melanie is awesome. read more

Absolutely love this place, visiting from out of town and i've been to chiropractors in NY and Cali but Dr. Elise is hands down the best and most knowledgable i've experience. The staff is also are very pleasant to and nice to work with. I'd gladly move back specifically for her to be my primary chiro physician. read more

Dr Mankosa is great. I was visiting my folks in Yuma and threw my back out. The new patient exam was thorough, followed by a great adjustment. A well earned 5 stars! read more

If you are looking for a chiropractor and value your time, do not bother with this clinic. After 45+ minutes of waiting I left. Yuma has too many options to waste your time and money at offices that are inconsiderate of your time and do not know how to properly manage their schedules. Disappointing first impression. read more

Went in as I was looking for both a chiropractor that did acupuncture. Dr Elise is wonderful!! She had an opening so I got right in. She was so thorough in her exam. I was having a lot of pain in my right shoulder and arm. She examined every inch then sat down and explained the areas that needed work. She spent a lot of time working on me and explaining what she was doing every step. She has other forms of treatment including the acupuncture. Her rates are very reasonable and she was very open that I might be sore the rest of day. She suggested a treatment regime and did not press to reschedule. I slept the best I had in weeks. She even called the next day to see how I was. She is excellent!!! I've had chiropractic/acupuncture together in the past so I am delighted to find someone here. She is new to Yuma but not to chiropractic/acupuncture. If you are looking give her a try. I will go back and highly recommend her. read more

Fantastic! 10 Stars! Visiting from Calif, I twisted by back and ended up with a herniated, painful disk. I was so afraid of going to a doctor or chiro due to my fear of being jerked around. Dr. Elise Mankosa was so incredibly gentle, professional and I received treatment that did not hurt me. I just wish I would have gone sooner, instead of suffering. No jerking around. With the drop method, acupuncture and electrodes, I left on my first visit with a 70% healing- and with a sense of well-being and happy mood! By my forth treatment, I am pain free! You must get your treatment with this well educated, gentle, professional and super friendly doctor- she knows what she's doing. Of course, if you want those hard adjustments, she will accommodate you. I am just sad she cannot practice in California! She works very hard at doing all she can to help in your healing. You will not be disappointed! Love her! read more

Dr Mankosa is professional and personable. She is in tune to the smallest detail & makes you feel comfortable. Dr Mankosa did an initial assessment & explained/discussed her findings, as well as what her plan of care was with me. She let's the patient make educated decisions in the proposed plan of care with her. I highly recommend Dr Mankosa to my friends. Her services are well needed in Yuma. I saw her licenses in the treatment room &noticed that she has been practicing since the 1970's. She has experience & knowledge, as well as healing hands and I'm sure her practice will flourish! read more

Every visit with Dr. Mankosa is a great experience. She is very professional, and is always making sure I am comfortable.

She has relieve my back pack, and I would 100 percent recommend her and her method! read more

Terrible doctor. Have been going to chiropractors for most of my life and have never been treated so poorly as I was by this totally unprofessional "doctor". Would rather travel to Phoenix than go back to her. read more
