“I’ve gone to chiropractors on and off for over 20 years and not ONE of them has done things quite like Dr. Mike. Other chiropractors I’ve been to have been a one trick pony but not Mike! He takes the time to sit down and talk with me about my week, in order to determine the best course of action for my next treatment. He’s not just there to provide temporary relief by cracking my back or neck for 5 minutes and then saying “See ya next week!”. Instead, he has helped me to create an entire nutrition plan and an exercise routine, on top of my chiropractic treatments. He spends time to help strengthen weaker muscles, so that we don’t have to continue the same treatments over and over. I used to crack my neck every single day, more times than I could count and I had constant lower back pain. Since seeing Dr. Mike, that urge to crack my neck has gone down significantly and my lower back pain is gone. I refuse to see anyone else but Dr. Mike for my chiropractic needs.”
