My experience with chronic pain, especially pain that does not fit neatly into an all encompassing diagnosis, is that oftentimes doctors will attempt dismiss my experience and completely invalidate, or minimize the pain i'm in. However, when I describe the pain i'm in to Dr. Johnson, he trusts and validates my experience, and respects what intuition and knowledge I have regarding my body. A session with Dr. Johnson doesn't feel passive, like i'm having work done. Rather, his play-by-plays on how he's working and why he's approaching an area the way that he is, feels like we're working together; expanding my knowledge of and strengthening the relationship I have with my body. In that same vein of empowerment, Dr. Johnson has given me a tool box of exercises to work on at home in-between sessions, and resources to help me track and get to the bottom of my pain. Dr. Johnson may be a chiropractor, but he considers so much more than just the musculoskeletal system, taking into account diet, environment, past trauma, etc. Like others who have left a review for Dr. Johnson, I can attest that he goes above and beyond to accomodate my complicated schedule. Dr. Johnson also replies to any questions I have in-between sessions within hours of me sending a message. After only a few sessions, i've already seen a dramatic drop in the frequency of my migraines. Going from 3-4 migraine days a week to only 1. I want to call him a wizard! A sorcerer! Because in my mind, up until now, I thought the only thing that could alleviate the pain I've been in my entire life could be magic. But even more impressive than being a wizard, Dr. Johnson is an outstandingly knowledgeable and perceptive person, who is also tremendously empathetic and caring towards his clients. I am unbelievably thrilled to start designing my future around what I want out of life, rather than continuing to plan my days around how much pain i'm in, or might be soon. Thank you Dr. Johnson! read more

I've had neck and back issues due to accidents and my job most of my life but my neck became significantly worse after a riding accident earlier this year in which I landed on my head, shattered bones in my face and received TBI. My bones were healing but I had reached a plateau with the return of my cognitive functions, my memory was still very bad and I always felt like my brain was stuffed with cotton. I came to Dr. Ian Johnson with a lot of fear, I am a petite woman with lots of pain and I have a tendency to tense up. I was originally diagnosed with a broken neck and due to the reconstructive surgery on my face I was very nervous about having the area manipulated. Dr. Ian was very kind, gentle and professional, he listened to my concerns because of my injury. I expected an adjustment with some relief of my pain and stiffness. What I didn't expect was the cognitive change. My plateau was broken within a couple of hours, the cotton was gone from my brain and my memory vastly improved. I went from having zero memory of where the car was parked much less walking into the store to being able to remember conversations I had had days prior. One adjustment changed my healing process completely, my neurologist was shocked by the advances I had made in such little time. I've continued to see him for maintenance and for the occasional day where I feel fuzzy brained and just off. I am a busy professional and Dr Ian is always able to work around my schedule, even coming out to my house when I am in too much pain to drive. I highly recommend him, he is a true healer in every sense of the word. Edited because yelp removed this review for no reason. read more

Dr. Johnson has helped me in ways I never thought possible! I had a mysterious lower back pain that continued to get worse and worse, until finally I called and set up a same day appointment with Ian. He knew immediately what the problem was and after just one adjustment I felt immediate relief. I ended up injuring myself again and he was incredibly understanding and helpful, even communicating with me via text to check in on me in the days/weeks after my appointments and gave me advise on how to prevent future injuries. I couldn't ask for a better experience, and its very clear that Ian focuses on trying to fix your problem so you don't need to continue to come back again and again. Going above and beyond the call of duty, Ian actually noticed some subtle signs in my anatomy that helped me find out I had ovarian cysts. Doctor Johnson has a keen eye and takes the entire body into consideration during his sessions, and it has helped improved my health overall, not just my back pain. I highly recommend Ian to anyone seeking rapid, compassionate evaluation and care. read more

While I have not personally visited Ian, I did arrange for my dad, who was visiting from England, to have a consultation/treatment with him. My dad has complained of neck pain for as long as I can remember and has never sought out chiropractic support. He was nervous about seeing and alternative medical practitioner being used to the traditional western medicine social medicine system. Ian was truly wonderful, not only did he put my dad at ease, he adjusted his neck providing much needed relief! He also shared some video exercises with my dad to help him strengthen his neck and reduce the pain. My dad was amazed (he is not easily impressed!) and gave a glowing report about Ian, in his words he said "he knows his stuff that lad!) I won't hesitate in recommending, or using Ian's services if i find myself in need of chiropractic help! read more

Ian Johnson is a close family friend, and when he heard I was in pain and needing help he made it a priority to make time for me. I've been told I have a yeast overgrowth for three years. But even after all the anti fungal meds and diets I was still having the same symptoms. I decided to try a different approach, as opposed to my obgyn and naturopath that I had been working with. I called Ian, got an appointment, and after one visit he called me that night and said he was almost 100% sure he knew what was going on with me. It was the most hopeful I had felt in 3 years! I took the info that Ian gave me and went to my primary as soon as I could. My primary physician agreed with Ian's diagnosis! I couldn't believe it. Ian is a caring, brilliant genius. He has knowledge that surpasses his Chiropractor title. Go see him! read more

I came to Ian with some major pain in my hip, hands, ankle, and knee. I didn't have health insurance at the time, and Ian was pretty sure I had rheumatoid arthritis. He was correct, but without insurance, medications weren't an option. Ian helped me regain some range of motion and really did a number on me with every visit (in a good way). With his care, I was able to function well enough to keep working until I acquired insurance and get the meds I desperately needed. Ian's professionalism, care for his patients, and knowledge was apparent right away. And through the 9 months that he treated me, I couldn't have asked for better care. I hobbled into his practice barely able to walk. My arthritis was only getting worse, but my functionality was improving thanks to Ian. read more

Dr Johnson relieved my 3 day old headache in one appointment. More importantly, he taught me stretches and adjustments I should make to my work space to avoid the headache coming back... something most chiropractors don't do! On my second appointment, Dr Johnson significantly reduced that pain I was having behind my right knee (which I thought was from falling aches) and the tennis elbow plaguing my left arm. He is gentle and informs you of everything he is doing and tells you what he "sees" and why it is likely out of elignment. I would recommend Dr Jouhnson to anyone who is in pain/discomfort and would like to know what they could do differently to avoid a lengthy relationship with a chiro. read more

I can't say enough good things about a doctor that would open his office on a Sunday for an out of towner. After taking the time to look over the results of some medical test I sent ahead of time, he spoke to me in terms I could understand, did an adjustment on my right side that had been causing pain for months, gave me common sense exercises to do and actually made me feel that he cared. His suggestions for follow up appointments when I got home and only as needed has help me understand that I can do and maintain control of my pain. If you're at your wits end or not this chiropractor gets five stars from me. . read more

I saw a number of doctors and to treat cramping I get in my lower back when running. After a lot of various treatments including medication and physical therapy, none were able to solve my problem. The cramping was taking the joy out of my daily runs. A friend suggested that I see Dr. Johnson. It took several treatments and some at home exercises, but I started seeing an improvement quickly. At this point I am back to 100% and I am convinced Dr. Johnson made the difference. He is highly knowledgeable and compassionate. His focus was to solve my problem quickly and noninvasively. I highly recommend him. read more

I've been going to Dr. Johnson since then and my pain is significantly improved. He has done what not other sr ovwr the years has been able to do. And that is relief for my pain as well as fixing this so the pain stays away. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a chiropractor. Especially for chronic pain read more

I always complain of neck pain, I know it's because of stress and the work I do. Ian was amazing, he explained everything to me and walked me through what he was going to do. He was very professional, yet friendly and easy going which I appreciated. For someone who always tenses up when I am about to be adjusted , he made me feel relaxed. I love that he was able to come to me too, which helps having a crazy schedule. read more

The adjustment I received was fantastic. Not just some popping vertebrae either. Dr. Johnson ran a full diagnostic on me, explained to me the results, and adjusted me. I felt incredible afterwards. When I needed an orthopedic specialist to evaluate my physical fitness after surgery for the Navy, I went to him. He did not go easy on me, and gave a fair assessment. I highly recommend Dr. Johnson to anyone. read more
