I heard about Nova Spinal Care in the local Edgewater booklet earlier this year and was so glad that I found them. Ive had four years of experience working for a chiropractor back in SD, and know what makes a good clinic. After trying a couple of other Chiropractors in the Edgewater area, I was beginning to lose hope that an honest clinic that incorporated stretching,massage, and overall wellness existed in the city! Nova proved me wrong. My first impression of Nova was that the staff was genuine with their client interactions, I have greatly enjoyed getting to know them as they assist me in my therapy and stretches - so many great people! I was initially disappointed to find out that my insurance plan didnt have coverage for specialists (which included chiropractic care), but Dr. Andrew worked out a great deal for me as a cash patient. I love that he only charges for adjustments and massages, and all the PT, stretches, and muscle stim are given at no extra charge. - As a side note, I also love that there is no waiting around for your turn to get adjusted, I can stretch and do PT as soon as I get there until Im ready to be adjusted, or just get adjusted if Im in a hurry. Great set-up. Also, I have had several massages - from both Kim and Laura, and they rock! However, I would say that people need to understand the difference between a relaxation massage and a clinical/therapeutic massage. Relaxation just makes you feel better superficially - and gets your whole body smeared with lotion. Clinical/therapeutic massage is supposed to involve trigger-point and deep work to provide deep and lasting relief. They always have me pick just one or two areas of primary pain and then focus the session around my issues. Yes, I do usually get sore for a day, but they tell me to drink lots of water and use ice or heat if needed and within 2 days I am set to go and feel fabulous! If youre a spa person, then this probably isnt the type of massage for you, but it is deeply relaxing if you understand and appreciate the work of Novas skilled massage therapists!

I have been going to Nova Spinal Care for a couple of months now and can not say enough great things about it! I have had back pain and headaches for a while now and was hoping to alleviate some of the pain. Dr. Andrew and his team have done a fantastic job with this! The staff are all welcoming, cheerful and knowledgeable. They remember my name every time and are great to work with. The therapy and stretches they work with me on are so helpful. The massages are always amazing. Nova has several massage therapists on staff so there are a variety of different techniques. I went to three different people before I found a style that was what I was looking for. Dr. Andrew is great to work with. From the very beginning he showed me my x-rays and we discussed my treatment plan. He was very up front of what my insurance would and wouldnt cover. From the very first day I knew exactly what I was going to have to pay and he stuck to it. I often have questions about chiropractic care and he answers them all honestly and thoroughly. As far as my back pain and headaches are concerned, I have never felt better! I was taking advil almost every day for weeks at a time to alleviate the headaches and now I havent taken any in almost a month! My back has gotten significantly better. The stretching and exercises that I do while Im at the clinic have helped so much. I really cant say enough good things about Nova. I have a massage tonight and have been looking forward to it all week! They really are a fantastic team!

Ever since Ive been coming to Nova for neck and shoulder treatment, Ive felt and slept so much better. I’ve been to a chiropractor in the past, but they didn’t have as many physical therapy treatments as Nova does and I think that the combination of physical therapy and chiropractic care really helped improve my overall well being. I used to get chronic pain across my shoulders from studying and working at a computer for so long that I thought it was normal to be having so much tension. I learned that it was a common condition but it was not normal. After a few visits I saw a better improvement in my posture and the way I sit, and noticed that my chronic pain was significantly reduced. The neck stretches and roll stick techniques really helped reduce any tension and break up any knots I had. It was something different but it really worked! Alternating physical therapy treatment with massages was even more helpful because the massage therapist was able to do trigger point and help my muscles relax. I highly recommend this place because they know how to treat you and provide you with many resources to help with any pain or tension. Dr. Andrew is great and knows what hes talking about, and the staff is super friendly and always attentive of your well being.

I have been having back neck pain for over four years now, but recently mostly neck pain. I found out about Nova at Loyolas Wellness Fair, and signed up for a free consultation that included free x-rays. After my first adjustment, my neck pain was virtually non-exsistent! And I was able to sit through classes all day without having my neck get stiff or uncomfortable. Ive always been skeptical of chiropractors, but that adjustment felt so good! Right after I called up my dad and told him that before he dies, he needs to have the experiance of getting a chiropractic adjustment. They also help you with stretches, and let you use this cool massage table that feels REALLY great on your back! In addition they put these pads on your back that feel like theyre sending electricity through your back, and it is so soothing. The girls who work there as well as Dr. Andrew are so nice. It is a really great and relaxing evironment, and a very nice escape during a busy and stressful school day. My neck is getting better and I am really excited to continue going to Nova! Please dont listen to the bad reviews on here! I am really tough on doctors, but Dr. Andrew and his staff definently have my approval.

I originally started waking up in the middle of the night due to terrible pain in my middle back. It hurt so bad that I could barely move, but after walking around the pain would slowly go away. This went on for a month before I could not take the pain anymore and I heard about Nova Spinal from my co-workers who highly recommended Dr. Andrew and his staff. My first consultation was excellent and Dr. Andrew knew exactly what was causing my horrific back pain after only talking to him for a few minutes. It turned out that I had a dislocated rib in my back and he put it back in place and Ive been going back on a weekly basis for physical therapy, massage, and adjustments. Im finally on track to feeling 100% and Ive been more than satisfied with the staff at Nova. Everyone at Nova is friendly and more than helpful!

I have had horrible migraines and neck pain for almost 7 years now. I have been seeing a neurologist for that long and have been on both preventative and fast acting migraine medications. Still I was getting 3-4 migraines a week along with almost constant neck and shoulder pain. I found Nova Spinal Care at Loyola Universitys Wellness Fair. I signed up for a free consultation which includes an x-ray. I have now been going for one month and have only experienced two headaches during that time as a result of soreness after my massages. Dr. Andrew and the staff are genuine and truly care about your progress. He works with many Loyola students and is happy to help students on a budget. His main goal is to make sure you are feeling better at the end of the day.
