As a Bodybuilder I was looking for a Chiropractor who had a background in sports. After doing some research I found out that Dr. Grande has worked and is presently working with athletes. So I made visit to Dr. Grande and he took a whole evaluation test of my body/joints and from there I started visiting Dr. Grande. I decided to start going to Chiropractor because I am prone to injury and during the time I went to Dr. Grande i had a very difficult and important goal to reach which included very intense weight lifting workout and physical activity. I am glad to say that during this time I have had no injuries and if there was any pain it just went away with 1 or 2 visits to Dr. Grande and I am talking about the pain which used to take months to go away. After making regular visits (twice a week) to Dr. Grande i have realized that how important it is to get aligned and adjusted especially when you are a athlete. I have significantly increased my range of motion and in addition to that I am fresher during my workouts and experience significantly less soar joints/muscles as compared to prior to my visits to Dr. Grande. I would also like to share something which i never noticed/experienced before; as i mentioned above that i am prone to injury. I realized it after making visits to Dr. Grande that you can walk and exercise just fine and still be internally injured, yes that is correct at least in my case. There have been cases when i had no pain but when i made visits to Dr. Grande and after he applied his techniques he identified areas where there was actually pain but it was not developed enough that i could feel it in normal activities. This simply means that you can actually avoid injuries before they occur or are developed enough that you could feel them, if you get aligned regularly. Above were some of the benefits of getting aligned and why going to a chiropractor in general. Now why you want to go to Dr. Grande specifically? Well there are many reasons for that and I will state them in following points: • He uses state of the art technology and tools which many places don’t even carry. • He apply and knows all the chiropractic techniques which many chiropractors do not offer especially ART and this also includes different tools which can help you loosen your muscles and pain. • He pays full attention to his patients/clients and he answers all the questions in good manner that they are easily understandable. In addition to that he is a very friendly person. • The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming and will call/email to remind you for your appointment a day before. • In addition to that Dr. Grande accepts insurance which very few Chiropractors accept. Even if you do not have insurance I have heard the rates are relatively much better than other Chiropractors. I hope this review was helpful. I currently visit to Dr. Grande 2 times a week and feel really good; getting aligned is now in my routine and a very important aspect of my physical and mental health. I know and see many athletes and Bodybuilders in this area so if you are looking for a good Chiropractor with a sports background or even for regular alignment you need to visit Dr. Grande. Thank you for reading my review. Mohsin.

Dr. Grande is a very kind, empathetic, skilled, out-of-the-box thinking doctor, whose first priority with a patient is that persons healing, not proving some technique. I saw Dr. Grande for a serious neck and upper back problem that prevented me from turning or tilting my head very much. I was in constant pain that led to almost daily headaches that oftentimes even painkillers couldnt resolve. Coupled with other injuries, my body pain was just overwhelming and destabilising my whole being. When I went to see him the first time, I felt at the end of my emotional rope. Dr. Grande addressed the issues not just through some spinal and neck adjustments, which helped, but extensively through fascia massage...that is, using a special tool to work on the muscles just under the skin. Some relief was immediate. But over the course of six months the pain relief was stark. I was able to turn my head and tilt it up with a much greater range of motion. My headaches went away. In fact, I havent had a headache from this issue in over a year, since I last visited Dr. Grande. Thats how well his technique works! Its residual. Dr. Grande introduced me to foam rollers that I use off and on to unkink my spine. This has helped immensely, too...especially when I feel certain muscles in my back and neck knotting up. As Im lazy and forgetful and have never managed to establish a daily routine with the roller, its amazing that both Dr. Grandes fascia massage and the rollers positive effects can be felt from just the sporadic use I give it. For me, Dr. Grandes treatments coupled with the foam roller was a Godsend. He brought ongoing relief from the pain and suffering that was my daily existence. Today, when I drive, I can look over my right shoulder almost as much as I could when young and uninjured, and usually without pain. I never get massive headaches from neck and upper back tension while driving anymore. I can tilt my head all the way back and rarely feel the evil muscle in my right upper back begin to pull and knot. And all this, one year after last visiting Dr. Grande for just 6 months of treatment! If I still lived close to him, Id still be visiting him. For me, the results prove the value of his fascia method. Whats more, his deep kindness, empathy and understanding was critical to fostering the right mental/emotional state for healing. I know that, feeling at the end of my mental and emotional rope from pain, he gave me hope and comfort from Day 1. If youve ever been where I was, then you know that hope and comfort and just as important as actual healing. I cant recommend Dr. Grande highly enough. Four-year update: I wrote the above review in 2014. Now in August 2017 I can say his treatments, which I havent had since the end of 2013, are still residually affecting me positively. That evil muscle in my upper right shoulder still has issues...I think Dr. Grande wouldve completely healed it with enough time, but, alas, I had to change states. Still, my neck and back function normally for the most part, I still use the back roller sporadically. I still think Dr. Grande is the best chiropractor and all-around physical-skeletal health doctor Ive ever visited...and Ive visited a few!

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Grande. My original purpose for going to his clinic was to use my “Groupon” for a massage. Little did I know I would be continuing my visits for a greater purpose. The massage was awesome; I asked the therapist to pay attention to my right lower back, hip and leg. I injured my ankle over ten years. I did all my rehab; however, there was a difference in my posture. The right side seemed shorter than the left. My right hip, thigh, knee, leg and foot were bigger than the left side. My neither clothes nor shoes fit correctly. And the hip pained me if I slept on that side. My knee and ankle limited my motions. I couldn’t wear hi-heels a lot of times. Honestly, I was discouraged. During my visit Dr. Grande gave me a “Subluxations” pamphlet. It talked about joints and soft tissue blockage and how it blocks the communication to the brain and nervous system and can cause bigger health challenges. After meeting and with him and getting evaluated, I went home to do more research and discuss it with my husband. We met with the Dr. Grande again and decided to begin the treatment. During the first session I had noticed the change in my body. The stretches and adjustments had moved this sluggishness that had developed in my body. I felt my entire being had been turned on and awakened. My range of motion had increase and without feeling like I was going to injure myself. I was experience a pain in groining area when I lift my leg to get in the car . . . it was gone! I went home and walked up the steps without favoring the right side. That side just remembered what it use to do and did it. I slept on my right side that night and had no pain in my hip. I actually woke up in the middle of the night because I noticed it in my sleep. I’ve been able to wear my heels and not rush out of them due to pain. I am so grateful that I saw and purchased the “Groupon” for that massage because I am healing my body naturally. I know continuing my treatment its only going to get better. Dr. Grande and his staff are wonderful, they are professional and personal. My first visit he walked up extended his hand and introduced himself to me and asked my name. From that day he always addresses me by “Aishah” and says it correctly. That means a lot and let’s me know he’s paying attention.
