I have had neck issues ever since I was 17 and wrenched my neck doing a dance routine. Due to years of various activities that have put wear and tear on my neck , and after an MRI, I was diagnosed with cervical spinal stenosis. Stenosis is the narrowing of the inside column of the vertebra; thus my vertebrae are pinching into my spinal cord in the neck. In the past few months I have experienced total numbness, excruciating burning and jolting shocks of pain and major weakness in my arms, hands and shoulders. It worsened when I would lay down at night to sleep, so much so, that I went for several weeks with almost no sleep and spent most nights crying in pain. One morning when I woke up and the pain did not subside and my left hand felt almost paralyzed, I knew this wasnt going to go away on its own. I also knew that neck surgery or steroid shots were not options for me. I had known many people who have gone to Dr. Deb and spoke highly of her as a chiropractor. To make a long story short, after my first chiropractic treatment with Dr. Deb, my numbness and pain diminished about 90%! Through her deep tissue massage techniques and her very specific adjustments mainly to my upper back, we were able to restore a tremendous amount of movement in my neck and break up what ever was causing my vertebrae to pinch in on my spinal cord. I have since had my second treatment in which we got even more movement and I am sleeping through the nights and virtually PAIN FREE! I only have slight numbness on three fingers of my left hand. For me this is nothing short of a miracle, as I was really getting worried about quality of life issues for me. Dr. Deb also gave me alot of good advice on how to alter my workouts at the gym and daily tasks at home so as not to cause further injury to my neck. I am planning on keeping up my treatments....hopefully forever! Dr. Deb was easy to talk to and I really felt I was in good hands-literally!

A chiropractic GEM. Ive been seeing Dr. Deb for a few years now and definitely recommend. Personable. Knowledgeable. Caring. Pretty easy to get an appointment. Small, one person office, so she works with you the whole time. Uses heat, vibration, and massage before her adjustments. The massage part itself is worth recommending her for (and Im a massage professional). She has a talent for distracting you for some of the adjustments..(thank you) FYI, there is no X-ray, but she has a diligent hands-on approach to finding those areas that need it. A great find.

Best Chiropractor Ive ever dealt with. Periodically I do something stupid like lifting or moving something too heavy and Dr. Deb has restored my back to be fully functional again. She is skilled in manipulation and adjustment of the spine, providing the welcome relief from pain that I sought. Dr. Deb is also skilled at providing adjustments to my feet. She exhibits genuine concern for the state of my health. I am grateful for her skill and knowledge.

Dr Brooks is Great! I love the use of heat & massage during treatment. The time is spent in order to assess your body & condition fully. My Back is much happier & healthier since I started seeing Dr Brooks. I highly recommend you try Dr Brooks.
