Dr. Tardio saved my life. I have never submitted a review for anything, but for this I was compelled to do so. First off, let me explain my back story briefly. I am a 26 year old physically fit and active male. I love working out, outdoor activities, and trying to keep my body in shape. Two years ago I was in a major accident that left me with six slipped discs (two herniated and two bulging discs in my cervical spine; 1 herniated and 1 bulging disc in my lower spine). This is an uncommon injury for someone my age and just like that all my favorite hobbies fell by the wayside. In my journey to recovery I went seeking out the help of two separate chiropractors and a pain management doctor. I have had multiple procedures done on my spine including several cortisone injections, facet joint injections, and radio frequency ablation. None of it worked. To my shock I was advised that I was going to have to undergo invasive surgery in order to relieve my pain…and let me tell you the pain (which was throughout my entire neck/back and down my legs) was unbearable at times. I had just started a new job and moved to a new town and could not be incapacitated for months on end while healing from surgery. Panicked and desperate I began to heavily research other options and newer treatment techniques that could keep me from going under the knife. I was referenced to Dr. Kris Tardio at Velocity Sports Chiropractic in Red Bank and his team of physical therapists. I was skeptical about going to another chiropractor at first after previous failed attempts, but all my doubts were erased after my first visit to the office. Dr. Tardio and his team are very professional, extremely knowledgeable, and tremendously friendly. He utilizes a number of various treatment techniques and comes up with a thorough plan to help you recover from any injury. The office is more than accommodating with appointment times and the staff there are some of the most approachable and pleasant people I have ever met. After just one month I was back in the gym and doing everything that I love. Now with continued maintenance treatment I am stronger and more fit than ever. Most importantly I no longer need surgery thanks to Dr. Tardio. So, in a manner of speaking, he did save my life. I highly recommend Velocity Chiropractic to anyone who has been injured or cares about their general well-being and would give him a higher rating if that were possible.

Dr Kris Tardio’s Knowledge of the body and movement, the inter-twined nature of healing, and how to live a healthy life are only surpassed by his wonderful spirit and smile. That being said, this summer with only 3 weeks until I travel overseas, my back pain caused great difficulty in climbing stairs, walking , and even sitting, I knew I had to rest, use heat,& ice but when the slightness movement created pain it was time to make a decision. Past experience with a Chiropractor (that ran like a puppy mill) made me skeptical, in fact I told myself I would never go back to one. While trying to move around in the pool, a personal trainer recommended Dr. Tardio at Velocity down the street; I was able get an appointment right away and decided I had nothing to lose. Dr. Tardio was through in taking my medical history, took an x-ray, asked about my last MRI and if I had it, took plenty of time to explain treatment, and I could see that this Chiropractor was genuinely one who truly cares about his patients and I knew I could count on getting the best treatment available. Warming up my muscles;deep stimulation; massage; stretching; adjusting; realignment; and ending up with icing was the very first treatment. I felt some relief and was excited to find an alternate to pain medication and injections. I finished out the week with daily treatment and by week 2, the improvement was evident .Dr. Tardio added exercises and traction as part of the treatment. Each visit the pain diminished. I never felt pressured to go a certain number of times per week, but seeing results I wanted to go as often per week as I could . Yes, I went on an 8 hour plane ride, 10 hour train ride, hiked up steep hills, often climbed up 4 flights of stairs carrying luggage, the trip was amazing thanks to Dr. Tardio’s expertise, respect and empathy. It gives me great pleasure to spread the word about how amazing Dr. Tardio is and the magnitude of my positive experience with him.

I have been coming to Velocity for about a year now and have had nothing but an amazing patient experience. Walking into the reception area ,it is extremely clean and the staff is so friendly and professional. I feel very welcomed when I walk into the office. I have had 4 back surgeries and a hip replacement so I have been to many Chiropractic and PT practices and I have to say this practice is by far and away the best in every way. My doctor is Dr Tardio. He has been treating me since I got there and I have never felt better. I can honestly say I regard Dr Tardio as one of the best chiropractors I have ever worked with. I am absolutely certain he is one of the best in monmouth county and possibly in the state. He really cares and listens to me communicate and tailors my treatment according to my feelings and his expertise. I look forward to being treated by Dr. Tardio simply because I know I am going to feel so much better. I have been referring friends and family to him and have never heard anything but positive comments regarding his ability and professionalism. Anyone that is injured or just wants to be adjusted should visit Velocity as soon as you can. Thank you Dr. Tardio and Velocity for making me mobile again.

Dr. Tardio was a god send. His kindness and genuine concern for helping me with my lower back pain was immediately evident within the first 5 mins of our discussion. He is a natural born caretaker at heart. I had terrible lower back pain, that I was unable to treat successfully on my own. The standard protocol of heat, ice and rest was not working for me. The problem was getting worse. Within a week of his treatment, my pain was gone and I was back at the gym. He is amazing!!! He works in a beautiful office, and his staff is warm and friendly. I don’t normally like to write reviews but the treatment I received was so outstanding, I felt compelled to. I highly recommend him.

I have been Dr. Tardio’s patient for 3 years. If you are a runner like me, you know about the injuries involved in the sport. I am beyond grateful to have Dr. T throughout my journey and for helping me complete my first marathon in 2015. Dr. T is very professional, courteous and patient with all of his patients, and, in addition to this, extremely passionate in everything he does. The office is beautiful and the staff is very knowledgeable and super friendly. In order to stay fit, active and healthy Velocity is the way to go! Thank you all.
