Dr. Wong is the first chiropractor I have seen. What lead me to him was a mobility problem with my right shoulder and arm that was growing worse over the years. I could no longer pull off my top because it hurt so much to make that over and up motion. Eventually my arm started to go numb at night, and then ultimately I experienced numbness periodically throughout the day. It was time to do something, but what? According to my general practitioner, I needed to see a rheumatologist. According to the rheumatologist, there was nothing wrong that needed fixing. Perhaps it was my rotator cuff that was stressed but she couldnt tell from the x-rays. She suggested that I do physical therapy, which I did, but this did not resolve the problem. I modified my exercise routine and I set up my workspace to be more ergonomical. Still no relief. At the YMCA after a workout I saw that Greater Health Chiropractic was offering free chiropractic consultations, along with a 10 minute chair massage, which was excellent. They also offered a free 30 minute massage if I came for a consultation. I went for it. I had my consultation and looked over the results with Dr. Wong that next week. He described a plan of treatment and we got started that very day. My first adjustment brought immediate mobility to my shoulder. I was shocked. Subsequent adjustments have focused on other areas of my spine that are in need to alignment, though not causing the sort of discomfort that my shoulder has. The main issue is my neck, so every visit includes adjustments to my neck vertebrae plus I have started doing stretches that Dr. Wong showed me to my daily routine, which help a lot. Also Ive modified my sleeping habits (to sleep on my back) per Dr. Wont suggestion, and this helps too. Taking a holistic approach to my bodys health is making a bigger difference than the Western medical approach of isolating problems into specialties. Adding acupuncture and massages to my chiropractic treatments will further help me, and I will do this when I can afford to do so. It is frustrating that holistic medicine is not covered by my healthcare insurance! Ive been impressed by many things about this practice, including: Dr. Wongs professionalism and patience; the staffs friendliness and attention to detail; the free education seminars offered on various topics. I would recommend Greater Life Chiropractic to others, who, like me, have relied on Western medicine to define our health treatment. At least go for an initial consultation. Im very glad I did!

I started coming to Greater Life about six weeks ago after taking advantage of the 10-minute work massage package that Marcel and team offer, and she talked me into the consultation appointment Dr. Wong offers. Thank goodness she did. Ive had some very irritating knots under my shoulder blades for years, and every time a doctor had "assessed" the situation (and that usually only consisted of a couple quick questions and maybe a poke or two of the actual knot), they were quick to just grab the prescription pad and tell me to stretch more. When I came Dr. Wongs office the first time, Jamie asked a bunch of questions and was very thorough in understanding my medical history, they performed a nerve scan and x-rays, and scheduled the follow up visit. When I sat down with Dr. Wong, he spent his time going over the results with me, spent time informing me of my specific situation but also how the body works overall so I had a better understanding, and most importantly let me know there was a solution possible. And it didnt include prescriptions! About six weeks later, the corrections have already had a positive impact and the piece of mind just knowing relief is on the horizon is just as valuable. If youve been exploring chiropractic or have been experiencing constant aches and/or pains, do your body a favor and visit the team at Greater Life. Its a great office that has a homely feel to it and youll feel like a valued client for sure, no company has ever treated me better as a Customer.

I did not understand what chiropractic care could do to help my body function better until I was hurting so bad and I was so stiff when getting up from a sitting position that I actually was thinking I may need hip replacement. At this point my husband recommended that I go to see Dr. Wong! With much trepidation and a little fear of being hurt I made an appointment for a free consultation and Dr. Wong determined and convinced me that he could help my discomfort. I have been going to Dr. Wong now since December 2016 and I can move without pain. I know now that I do not need hip replacement and my knees are also in good working order. Thank you Dr. Wong for your kindness and insight into the workings of our skeletal structure and how everything in our body is so wonderously connected and works together when given the opportunity! I wish I had not waited until I was 71 years old to start addressing the aches and pains from many falls from horses, bikes and mishaps! Sandy Schnieders

One day after a weekend of shoulder and back pain I happened to walk by Greater Life and they were offering complimentary massages, a deal I obviously couldnt refuse. Afterward they offered me a full exam at a great discount and figured I should get checked up. Its a good thing I did, Dr. Wong found several problem areas that I would have never even known were there until they would have become more severe and possibly critical. Since then Ive been coming in regularly for correction and maintenance for the last 5 months. It has made a huge difference in my sleeping habits, energy levels, back, neck and shoulder pain as well as helped with some weight loss. The staff has always been very friendly and accommodating. Being involved with the Greater Life has been rewarding in many ways, both for my personal health and also all the work and contributions they do in our community. I have recommended them to my fiance, family and friends.

This office is extremely professional. Dr. Wong is friendly, compassionate, professional and describes everything he is going to do and why. I had a thorough exam before I began treatments. He explained everything clearly in language I could understand. The office staff are professional and friendly. They always greet me by name as does Dr. Wong. The facilities are open, airy and extremely clean. After a short period of time, I am already feeling better. I have never received chiropractic treatments before and the ones I have recieved have helped my physical discomfort, pain and overall well being.I feel that Dr. Wong is truly committed to helping each individual to achieve his or her maximum potential. I would strongly recommend Greater Life Family Chiropractic to anyone who wants to improve their physical and psychological well-being.

Associates from Greater Life came to my workplace offering a free consultation. I hadnt been to a chiropractor in awhile & thought it a good idea to check my spine health. I had no intention of committing to a regimen, but after seeing my results I knew it was to my benefit to accept the care from Dr. Wong. The staff is extremely friendly & professional. You feel they are there to help you. I feel an improvement after only one adjustment & look forward to a renewed vigor. I like that Dr. Wong will follow up with additional x-rays & compression checks to monitor my improvement. I am glad I took the step to have my spine health evaluated & plan to have my husband & daughter visit Greater Life. Thank you Dr. Wong & all the staff at Greater Life Family Chiropractic.
