Dr. Chris is the best! I saw him yesterday because I was feeling kind of stiff and he made some great adjustments in my back and neck. Today, I woke up and feel rejuvenated and actually want to get off the couch! Lol I highly recommend seeing him because not only can he do manual adjustments, he has machines for a gentle stretch - which my husband uses due to his more extensive back issues. Conveniently located shopping center at the base of Anthem and just a few minutes from Green Valley. I call and tell him I'm on my way and he always fits me in. Thanks for everything Dr. Chris! read more

Last October I started getting severe neck pain that gave me a dull headache all the time. On top of that, I had very poor range of motion on my neck, shoulders and arms. Other chiro treatments I had would only last me a few days to a week of relief then I would be back to where I was, hurting with poor movement and being stiff. I took NSAIDs almost every day with other topicals just to get me through the pain. I found Dr. Chris last December and everything has changed after being under his care. My neck pain is gone and so are the dull headaches. I can raise my arms up again and can turn my neck side to side without any pain. I can do laundry again without being in pain afterwards. So grateful for his care. read more

A Chiropractors Chiropractor!!! As a Doctor of Chiropractic myself, I am highly particular when it comes to letting someone adjust me or my family. Yesterday morning I dislocated my right shoulder. Unable to to move anything but my fingers without excruciating pain, I threw a mass of ice on my shoulder and was driven to Dr. Chris. After one adjustment I got some limited range of motion and my level of pain went from a 9 on a scale of 10 to a 6. I continued to ice for the day, limited my activity as any attempt to move my shoulder or arm elicited unbearable pain. Honestly doubting whether I would ever have a full range of motion in the immediate future, I returned for a second adjustment from Dr. Chris. He stabilized my shoulder and exacted a specific lift of my humorous back into the joint. In a second the pain was completely gone, I was able to move my shoulder without limitation and was transformed back to a joyful state of relief. I have seen a lot of chiropractic wonders take place for my patients over the years but this was truly the first incredible miracle that happened to me and I have both God and Dr. Chris to thank for that! read more

Great place! Chris is a great chiropractor and i have used him for over a decade. He has no problem adjusting me even though i am 6'8, he is a true professional. read more

I have had severe sciatica for the last four years. I have bulging disks at the L5 and L4. I am an airline pilot so sitting for long lengths of time is the worst you can do for sciatica. I have been to several chiropractic offices and actually they have made it worse. I have had two doctors that wanted to do surgery on my back. In my profession, if you can't sit in the flight deck for long lengths of time, you cannot go to work. I came across Mountain Side Chiropractic and met with Dr. Chris Houtakker. Dr. Houtakker is the reason I no longer have sciatica. Under his care and the DRX-9000, my sciatica is completely gone. I can sit for hours with no pain. Dr. Houtakker was the first doctor to bring this miraculous DRX-9000 to LAS Vegas. He is one of the pioneers to decompression therapy. I truly am thankful that I have Dr. Houtakker to care for my chiropractic and sciatica needs. He is honest, dedicated and caring to his patients. I am extremely fortunate to have him as my doctor. read more

Dr Houtakker came highly recommended by Ron at Pure Nutrition. I had gone hiking back in March and the day after the hike I could not bend over past my knees and I could normally touch my palms on the floor of how flexible I am. The pain that radiated down both sides of my back and both legs felt like the worst sciatic pain that I've ever experienced before. A debilitating pain. After talking with Ron, he recommended that I go see Dr Houtakker. I went in with a bit of skepticism but I believe he had a solution that was going to give me the results that I wanted quicker than going to a traditional doctor or surgeon or specialist that was going to give me the same type of treatment/recommendation that I've been given for years because of my different surgeries and physical challenges. Needless to say that I'm on week 5 of the treatment and I can bend over perfectly fine now. I am gaining a lot of my flexibility back and I'm addressing an issue that I've had for years but no other doctor has helped me treat before, which most of it originated in my spine. His DRX machine is definitely unique and the treatments are well worth it and I hope that a lot of people can experience the relief that I've experienced with his treatments. Thanks Chris! He's definitely an authentic, down to earth, and witty guy and I appreciate all he does to help, including recommending specific supplements that help with inflammation. read more

Dr. Chris, Rocks. I came in barely able to move with Sciatica and a budging disc. TheDRX 9000 rocks. Its just never a quick as you think.

I had had sciatica pain going down my left leg for almost 3 years. It hurt to walk, stand for a while, and play softball. An MRI showed that the discs between L4 and L5 and L5 and S1 had bulges. So I sought a neurosurgeon's consultation, and he recommended a laminectomy on L4, L5, and S1. I underwent the spinal surgery in July 2016. For the time I was convalescing, I had no pain; but as soon as I started walking and playing softball again, all of the pain returned just as bad as before the surgery. Thinking the pain must be coming from some area other than my spine, I went to a peripheral nerve surgeon who said the pain was probably coming from the left periformis muscle. When inflamed, this muscle presses on the sciatic nerve and can cause sciatica. So, in August 2017, I had the periformis muscle removed. Again, during convalescence, no pain; as soon as I got active again, all of the pain returned. I made another visit to the neurosurgeon, and he wanted to do fusion on my spine. I stopped long walks and playing softball because it was just too painful. Not wanting more spinal surgery, I went to see Dr. Houtakker at Mountain Side Chiropractic. He started me on spinal decompression on the DRX-9000. After some sessions, I still didn't notice any relief from the sciatica. But I stuck with it at the advice of Dr. Houtakker. After about 15 sessions, I noticed there wasn't as much pain when I stood while fixing dinner or shopping. After a few more sessions, I took a half hour walk as a test. NO PAIN during the whole walk! With Dr. Houtakker's blessing, I played softball--and again NO PAIN for nearly the 3 hours I played that day. What a breakthrough!! I hadn't experienced no pain during those activities in 3 years. I'm now finishing up the sessions with more time between them. I'm able to go through each day with absolutely no pain whatsoever. He also showed me how to do back strengthening exercises, which are really helping, too. Spinal decompression is not a quick solution, but it will work on sciatica--just stick with it. I owe my active life back to Dr. Houtakker! read more

Dr Chris has been absolutely amazing. I had a ruptured disc and three bulging disc's starting from L5-S1 upwards. Throughout my treatments with the DRx 9000 and his program I am back to one hundred percent within 3 to 4 months of seeing him. Words cannot describe how thankful I am for Dr. Chris. He was able to take my pain away and give me pain-free movement and my life back. I would recommend Dr. Chris to any person who is looking for a chiropractor with any type of low back pain; he can work miracles. After many other Dr visits (neurosurgeon, orthopedic) I thought I was going to have to live with the pain until it was so unbearable and have to have surgery. Then I found Dr Chris. My family and I can't thank him enough! read more

Dr. Chris is in a word AMAZING! While in town for a conference, my neck went out. I, of course, jumped on yelp to read reviews and Mountain Side Chiropractic jumped off the page with glowing reviews, so I called. SSSOOOO glad I did. Dr. Chris listened to my complicated history and suggested x-rays... His x-rays revealed a undiscovered problem that certainly would have become problematic for me in the near future. He then gave me an adjustment and I immediately felt better. He not only saved my trip, he saved (the quality of) my life. Thank you Dr. Chris! read more

Dr. Houtakker is amazing. I injured my neck last week and was really nervous that after three days and no relief, that something was seriously wrong. He got me in promptly, did a quick exam and some x-rays which revealed nothing was broken, but my spine was definitely out of alignment in some places. I went in three times total for adjustments and ice therapy and I am almost completely pain free. So easy and convenient to get in too. read more

I can't tell you how fortunate I am to have been referred to Dr. Chris. I say this as a person who 3 weeks ago who was barley able to walk and could not drive and now I am back to 90% of where I was. I am a young, healthy, 40 year old man who is competitively athletic and never been to the ER. March 17th 2017 I wound up in the ER with SEVERE and intolerable Sciatic nerve pain going through my hip and down my leg (grown man crying like a baby sort of pain). In the hospital discovered I had a herniated disc between my L4 & L5 vertebrae. As I sat in the hospital with morphine being my only pain relief I listened to a Neurosurgeon tell me he recommend surgery. Luckily, prior to him walking in, I had done a bunch of research and got referrals from friends who had seen Dr. Chris for the exact same disc problem. They told my absolutely do NOT do surgery. I told the Doc no and was in Dr. Chris's off first thing Monday morning for Decompression Therapy on the DRX -9000. I was still in tremendous pain but saw Dr. Chris everyday. After about a week I started to feel some notable relief and stopped taking all pain meds mid that week. I was soon walking a lot better and not long after that driving myself to therapy. I was well enough to sit at my desk a week later and now 3 weeks later I am back to full duty at work. Chris tested my right leg 3 weeks to the day (which previously I could not lift more than a foot off the ground because of the pain from the herniated disc) and on the 7th he was able to lift it all the way up just like my left leg. The DRX-9000 had drawn the bulging disc back in. I can't tell you how thankful I am that I found this man. He was able to bring me back from a condition that prevented me from even doing my job, a condition that made me believe I had no hope and the strong possibly of never working again like I had before. Thank You Dr. Chris . . . . . I am forever in your debt. read more

Dr. Chris is easily the best chiropractic option in Henderson, and probably in the entire Las Vegas Valley. I've had numerous chiropractors over the years, but Dr. Chris is unique in his ability to consistently address each issue in a way that always has me walking out of his office a whole lot more comfortably than I walked in. He hits it every single time! He is also very knowledgeable about nutrition and is more than willing to offer his patients exercise programs that can help alleviate ongoing issues. Since I discovered Dr. Chris, my wife and several other relatives have also relied on him for excellent care... and the occasional lame joke. read more
