“I've seen traditional chiropractors in the past. I knew I needed more.
I heard of Dr. Porcher and his active release treatment. After an initial consultation, Dr. Porcher prepared a treatment program. I have not been disappointed. Dr. Porcher and his staff have educated me and are providing the treatment I was looking for. My health has improved which has led to improvement in other areas of my life.

“I wish I could leave more than 5 stars for Dr. Porcher. It is clear why his name is so prominent in the community when it comes to muscle activation and chiropractic work. His bedside manner is excellent and he knows what he's talking about. There's a reason all of the high school coaches in the area book him to come talk to their teams! Also, his adjustments are probably the best I've ever had. They are not painful, they are buttery, and they have moved everything I have needed to have moved--and the ART feels great too!”

Dr Nate is a true professional in every sense of the word. He is thorough in his assessment of what your needs are when you seek his treatment. His explanation of the treatment plan is easy to understand. As treatment is given, he involves you in he process and continually asks for your feedback during the session. If you are seeking a chiropractor to assess a condition that you are dealing with, I am confident that together with his consultation and evaluation you will be pleased with his recommendation for a solution.
