Since then I've had gnarly back pain, including the dreaded nerve pain, which adds new meaning to the term. For two years I found myself trapped in a doctor / health care vortex. I had numerous scans, both MRI and X-ray , I had tried surgical cervical injection, non force chiropractor ( we cure in three treatments ,,,mostly)), osteopathy, acupuncture (which helped me get of nueronton), physical therapy, I was trapped in the doctor vortex. Some of these experiences made me feel worse about my self, "you are so twisted!) like my injury was self imposed, During this time I was reluctant, no, hell no NOT going to a chiropractor! But then I did because there was nothing left to do. I was referred by a trusted medical person from Midline who I think has quality people in their group. Abend ended up changing my life beginning with the very first visit. He takes in the medical history, then does a nice deep tissue massage, exactly where it hurt! It felt so good!! Then gently an adjustment. I am also to 90% better, and I had given up on th I started to believe I'd have to live with pain,

I found a great match in Dr. S. Dr. Soltanoff gives his patients his undivided attention, and the visits are quite extensive. He encourages patient work at home to continue the healing process. Right from the start, I was confident that I was working with a doctor that was really aiming to correct my problem, and never was there a feeling of the never-ending treatment plan here! Dr. Soltanoff and all of his staff are professional and kind. They have gone to great lengths to create a warm, calm environment, and it all goes far in making a new patient feel welcome and cared for. Things never feel rushed here. From my first visit, every part of the visit and the plan of treatment was well explained and clear. Highy recommend!

Dr. Soltanoff is incredibly intuitive and was able to target the source of my pain after the first visit, I was sent home the first day with incredible relief as well as an increased awareness of how to contribute to healing my body through exercises and good posture. I loved my visits, the whole staff is very nurturing and relational as well as professional and excellent in their practice. I wouldn't waste your time or money with any other chiropractic practice in town, this is the best around! ~Lily Crowder

I have been a patient of Dr. Laurie Luker for over ten years. When I found Laurie--she was a…read moreGodsend! She has helped me tremendously over the years. She know every bone and muscle of the body. Unlike many chiropractors, Laurie is also a tremendous healer. She always prepares your body with a massage prior to any gentle adjustment. Her practice is located in a serene, quiet environment. Laurie is VERY knowledgable when it comes to chiropractor care and her attention to detail is amazing. I don't have to tell Laurie where my body aches--she finds the spots just by touch! She zeroes in on the hurt area--which saves my energy from telling her where to direct her hands. When I leave her office, I have been rejuvinated and feeling great! She's a rare gem!

She's kind, compassionate, funny and a very skilled chiropractor. Great bedside (tableside?) manner, charges reasonable prices (she used to have a student rate--not sure if she still does) and really goes the extra mile, for example, squeezing you in if you are in a lot of pain etc. Best of all, her treatments work. Definitely 5 stars.

Brittany does a wonderful job of making you feel comfortable and walks you through everything as thoroughly as necessary. From the very first moment, I was greeted with some delicious calming tea, and we went through a Q&A session to determine what the treatment would be for the session. I ended up having body acupuncture and cupping. I was incredibly nervous since I'm terrified of needles, but Brittany was brilliant at helping keep me relaxed. I walked in with some upper back pain and an aggravated leg muscle. When I left, I felt more relaxed than I've been in a long time, and my pains were nonexistent for about 24 hours. The leg pain has only partially returned the tiniest bit the next day. I highly recommend giving Homeostatis Medicine a try.
