We got the combination massage where we started with the 30 min foot soak reflexology and then moved to another room for a 60 min full body massage.

It's not a new bldg or have modern spa-like presence but the place and the sheets feel clean. The AC was not on but they had fans in the room. There is about a 10" gap between the walls to the ceiling so you can hear all the slappin', flappin', and clappin' but otherwise the noise level is fine. They also give a punch card where you get a free 60 mins massage after the 10th visit. Highly recommend!

If you are dealing with persistent back pain or looking for a chiropractor who actually gets to the…read moreroot cause of the issue, Back2Play Chiropractic is incredible. The level of care and attention to detail here is top-tier. Rather than just giving a generic adjustment and sending you on your way, the treatment plans are super targeted and modern. Highlights of the care: Targeted Adjustments: Hands-on adjustments that immediately restore alignment and relieve pressure off the spine. Shockwave Therapy: Adding shockwave treatments to my routine has been a total game changer for reducing localized back pain and accelerating tissue healing. The combination of targeted adjustments with shockwave technology has drastically decreased my back discomfort and restored my mobility. The Office has a huge parking lot which is convenient. The care is thoughtful, effective, and results-driven. You leave feeling lighter, aligned, and genuinely on the path to long-term relief. I highly recommend Back2Play to anyone looking to knock out back pain and get back to moving comfortably!

But not just to chiropractors in general...just this one. I was walked through ever step and was educated through a parallel process. He made me feel comfortable enough to ask questions, to probe , to express doubts and fears and at every step, he eased my nerves. I walked away with a back free of pain, some more flexibility in my chest and shoulder (which he said connects to other parts of my body and was contributing to my back ailment) and a neck that was also reset. He readjusted my mid back which he said was the cause of my lower back pain. He did a series of rehab on me. Some super quick. Some painful but it was short term pain when he grabbed some area of my neck that needed to be pulsated. Some I barely felt a thing. Majority of the time it felt good. I was given stretches to do to maintain and was told to make sure I get some yoga in my workout routine to help with my back. I hope to never ever see them again. Because that means my program is working. But if I ever do, I will be going here. Plus you start off in a massage chair before you see the doc and who doesn't like a massage! Even if it's in a machine. They take insurance and their fees are super reasonable.

It is about time that I write an update on Upstanding Care Chiropractic. My previous review was on…read moremy friend's experience on his chiropractic care. This review will be on my own experience. In late 2023, I started helping out my Zumba instructor friend on his fitness classes, so my workout routine became more regular, which comes out to about 2 one hour classes every week as well as 3 to 4 special events (ranging from 90 minutes to 3 hours). Some days would have 2 special events (which would be 4.5 hours of working out). About 6 months after helping my Zumba instructor friend, my left hip started to hurt. I normally don't complain but I must have complained enough that my Zumba instructor friend said that I needed to go see a Chiropractor. My treatments were about 3 times a month from May 2024 to Sept 2024. In the treatments, Dr Matt would adjust to how my left hip was feeling and visually see how my back muscles were. Over the course of the treatment, we figured out thru our chats that I had to adjust the following in my normal daily life: - office chair (invested in one with lower back support) - computer monitors (weren't placed properly height wise and I was turning my head a lot instead of looking straight) - how I was driving (apparently the seat in my car was too far back when I drive) - how I slept (I would always sleep on my left side; now, I have to sleep on my back - "dead man pose") - at some point on my own, I also ordered some new fitness bras (with better back support) - which apparently makes a difference too (lol) In the office visits, Dr Matt would adjust but then also gave me "homework" at home to practice sitting up straight (I hunch a lot). What I love about Dr Matt, he's focused on holistic care, so the root cause was apparently my left big toe. One toe wreaks havoc on my entire left leg up to my lower back. Who knew? At this point, I visit Dr Matt about once a month for "maintenance". All I do now is keep up with Dr Matt's advice on what exercises to do at home and remember to sit up straight! All in All - I still 100% wholeheartedly agree with what their website says: - Experienced knowledge with communication - A chiropractor who cares You just have to put some "elbow grease" to "do the work" of what Dr Matt suggests. No nonsense. P.S. I also recommended my boyfriend to go since his left foot was hurting. Context - my boyfriend is highly skeptical fellow, so I had to describe my Zumba friend's experience and my own experience before he went to go see Dr Matt. My boyfriend doesn't always share his experience with me, but every time he goes to Dr Matt, he comes back telling me about Dr Matt's French Bulldogs. I take it to mean that the treatments are working because my boyfriend keeps going back to Dr Matt (i.e. he can go use his military benefits elsewhere "for free" but chooses pays out of pocket for Dr Matt). P.S.S. Upstanding Care Chiropractic also now has Cold Plunge, Infrared Light Therapy, and Infrared Sauna. More Info - https://upstandingcare.com/treatments ENJOY!!
