Two months ago I suffered a recurrence of an old back injury. I have two lower lumbar protruding discs and woke up one morning in debilitating pain. I could not walk nor find any position that was without pain. Several months ago I moved from upstate New York to Raleigh and had to leave my highly skilled chiropractor behind. He performed hands-on manipulations, always gave me his full attention and the time needed for each treatment session. I wasn't sure I would find someone of the same caliber in Raleigh, but I did in Dr. Erik Askeland www.raleighchiro.com). During my initial visit, he took x-rays, diagnosed my injury and spent time explaining the structural issues he found and a treatment plan to correct them. As my chiropractor in New York, Dr. Askeland performs hands-on manipulations. I have found that his treatments are a combination of intuitive and skillful knowledge. Within the first two weeks my pain was reduced by 50%. After the first month my lower lumbar pain was entirely gone and I only had residual sciatic pain radiating down my leg. After another month of weekly treatments, even that pain dissipated and I am now pain-free and fully functional. Some more pluses are that I have never had to wait more than 10 minutes for my appointment, and most times much less than that. His assistants, Jennifer and Aurin, are kind, personable, and efficient. The facilitates are modern and well kept. He also offers other services, such as massage therapy, acupuncture and physical therapy. All-in-all, my experience has been overwhelmingly positive. As another reviewer put it -- "the best in North Raleigh, not even a close call". I couldn't agree more. read more

After being rear ended in a traffic accident I was very decisively referred to Dr Askeland for care by a co-worker. I was new to the area and I told her that I would only go to a doctor that used their hands to make adjustments. I do not like the tables that offer the impact. I'm not sure what they are called, but my experiences with them are less than satisfactory to say the least. Dr Askeland has a very professional yet easy going manner and listens carefully. I told him that I'd prefer all of my adjustments be made by hand and he assured me that my preference was his technique. With this conversation, he shared that he played hockey growing up and that he was very adept at make strong quick precise adjustments because of the skills gained as a hockey player. With my first adjustment, I now understand why being a hockey player is the perfect segue to chiropractor. Let's just say, Dr Askeland offers very thorough painless adjustments. He's the best. I moved two years ago to Fuquay and yet I continue to drive to see him when I get out of whack. He's a very talented healer and yet as personable as they come. He fixes me. He won't lecture you or try to sell you a thing. Look no further. read more

Several years ago I began going to Dr Askeland for adjustments to treat back and neck pain and weekly migraines. I tracked the migraines just to see if the adjustments made any difference. They ACTUALLY DID! Over a fairly short period of time, I had a major reduction in migraines to less than 1 per month. A misalignment in my neck was one of the main reasons for not only my neck pain, but also my migraines. Dr Askeland also helped me figure out what I was doing (for example, repetitive motion) to cause the misalignment and suggested certain stretches and exercises. One of the things I like most about Dr. Askeland's approach to treatment is he adjusts only what needs to be adjusted. It's not like a "factory" where every person gets the exact same adjustment! As for Dr Askeland personally, he is so friendly and makes you feel as ease. He really connects with people. I'm thankful to Dr. Askeland for all he has done to help me feel better. And I have to mention the office staff. They are awesome too! Especially Bette! So friendly and helpful and I love talking to her when I go into the office. You can tell they all really care about their patients! read more

I have had back problems for years when they finally escalated into a more serious injury this past winter. I had a bulging disc touching my L5 nerve and am a fairly active individual so this was a huge blow to my every day lifestyle. Someone at my office recommended Dr. Askeland after I didn't get much better attending physical therapy and I'm so glad they did! I agreed to an 18 visit plan (this was a lot but remember I was unable to sit down or stand without extremely sharp nerve pain) over the course of a few months. I am finally able to workout and hike again and without pain and I only have to go every 3 weeks (extending to 1x a month soon). Dr. Askeland is easygoing and tries his best to get you in and out to meet your busy schedule. He is constantly monitoring your progress and does not keep you coming back to make $, when he believes you're ready for longer time between treatments, he lets you know. I am so thankful I found this office. Last but not least - the ladies at his front desk are so sweet and I actually look forward to seeing them each time I drop in (and personally I don't normally like talking to anyone) so this is a big deal. Cheers! read more

I have been going to Askeland chiropractic for over a year. I started seeing Dr. Askeland for my plantar fasciitis and thanks to him it's no longer an issue! Dr. Askeland is not only fun to be around but he has a way of making you feel comfortable. I continued going to Askeland chiropractic because I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and Dr. Askeland told me that Dr. Lintz does cupping. Not only has Dr. Lintz helped me manage my pain through adjustments and cupping but she has been extremely supportive throughout my fibro journey. I could go anywhere but I choose to go to Askeland chiropractic because they treat their patients like family. I have an enormous amount of trust with Dr. Askeland and Dr. Lintz. Let's not forget the office staff! Whenever I walk in I am always greeted with big smiles from the office staff. The women greet me by my name and always ask I how I am. You can't go to a better place believe me. I have seen many healthcare providers over the years and I will always go to Askeland! read more

Askeland Chiropractic Office Values Their Patient's Experience All aspects of my life have improved since I began treatment at Askeland Chiropractic. I have had back and neck issues for over 10 years and never had long term relief from another provider. A co-worker recommended Asheland Chiropractic. I hesitantly took her advice and made the appointment. That was the best day of my life. I have been seeing Dr. Askeland for 4 months and feel like a new woman. Dr. Askeland has treated me for my back and neck problems with great success. I feel much better and more like me now, I can ride my horses without pain and I have incorporated stretching and massage into my health care treatment plan as well. Dr. Askeland and his staff are truly committed to their patients well- being, listening to your concerns and offer solutions and explanations for such. They know that healing begins at all levels. I would recommend Askeland Chiropractic -- they are a "5 Star Office." read more

Dr. Askeland's range of chiropractic experience coupled with his time invested in additional wellness protocols makes him the ideal chiropractic practitioner for many folks requiring the use of chiropractic skills; at least that is my opinion. I have been treated by Dr. Askeland off an on for a number of years for various skeletal and soft tissue issues. His treatment and advice have been helpful guides to keeping this 60 year plus old body working well enough to enjoy and active physical life: i ran a 12.25 mile Tough Mudder less than two years ago. He also has x-ray equipment, which my wife used to confirm an injury. Not only was the cost was much less than a hospital or physicians office, her evaluation (x-ray to x-ray reading) was performed in only a few minutes! read more

I have had severe shoulder pain for many years, and orthopedic physicians and physical therapy didn't provide any relief. A friend talked me into trying Dr. Askeland, and it was the best recommendation ever. The practice is friendly, helpful, and efficient. Dr. Askeland is warm, professional, and a really nice person. He explains everything thoroughly and removes any apprehensions about the treatment. I have gone from weekly sessions to monthly maintenance visits. With the techniques he taught me for home care, I am a totally new person. Out of 5 stars, Askeland Chiropractic gets 10 from me. read more

I have referred several folks to him and they have told me how much better they feel and are recommending him as well. Definitely the best in Raleigh. read more

Melinda has been my go-to massage therapist for over a year. Before her I thought massages were a luxury, not a necessity.

Go see her - your whole body will be glad you did! read more
