Dr. Bannister has helped with my lower back pain. She is gentle and walks you through the treatment. I had a horrible experience with a previous chiropractor, but Dr. Bannister makes you feel comfortable and confident. She has helped me to be able to enjoy life pain free.

Dr. Bannister was very thorough at addressing my concerns and creating a detailed plan for care. I was great with how she listened to me before we got to the treatment part. Then I received a great adjustment that immediately gave me some pain relief. This was a huge win because I have a physically demanding job and need to be able to continue to perform while getting care.

My visit was great! Nicole really took the time to listen to me explain my symptoms, and she treated them accordingly. She also took the time to explain my symptoms and why they likely began in the first place.

Both my 11 yr old daughter and I have been patients of Dr. Bannister and I cannot say enough about her approach and bedside manner. She takes the time to ask the right questions to seek to understand your symptoms and concerns so as to tailor each adjustment to what will best help achieve the overall outcome but also provide immediate relief. She is gentle but confident and extremely intelligent but approachable. If you're looking for a female chiro who knows their stuff, Dr. Bannister will take great care of you!
