I was very disappointed with the service and results here. I went for 3 weeks and had no relief whatsoever. The main reason I went there was because my neck and shoulder were hurting every time I laid down to go to bed, I could’t sleep because of it. It started with an hour long visit, that consisted of me just mainly sitting down watching a documentary on why chiropractic works. After the tape had ended, we sat down and talked about what was bothering me for about 10 - 15 minutes. He did a standard demonstration of what he thought was going on in my back/neck/shoulders using a broken figurine of a spine. After I told him that I didnt completely understand what was going wrong he got straight to the cut and said "I want to see you 3 times a week for 4 weeks and itll cost you about $900 - $1,000 total." Almost immediately after he said this, I got this feeling he was all about the money. I couldnt help but sneak out a little laugh the second after he said it. Dont get me wrong, Id be happy to pay for my health if I knew what was going on. But this was so shrouded in mystery, and very little was explained to me of what was actually going on and what would be done to fix it. But me being my optimistic self, I decided to give it a try and if it didnt work, Id just drop out of the plan. I went for 3 solid weeks 3 times every week, and guess what… nothing. No pain relief. He did countless “adjustments and ultrasounds (ultrasounds are EXPENSIVE) but nothing helped me sleep better at night. That leads into my next major gripe with this chiropractor. He was so hasty with each visit! Every visit I would dish out 50$ - 175$ (175$ for ultrasounds) and the visits would last no more than 2 minutes. You might wonder “Well what does the amount of time your visits take have to do with anything if it works?..” Well that’s just the thing, they didn’t work at all! They were just quick “Back adjustments” that would ended after 1 minute, 2 tops. He didn’t even show me any stretches to do in my free time to keep my back/ in tip top shape until next visit! What!? I dished out about 500$ to him before I realized that I was just wasting my money. People, Chiropractic is not a proven method of healing. Its very much a speculation thing such as mind readers and fortune tellers. People swear by it, but trust me just get to the root of your problem. Is your back hurting? Youre sitting too much. Neck hurting? Youre looking at screens to much. Youre lifting things wrong. Your posture is wrong. Find the solution, do some online research and save your money. Another thing, I see this guy getting customers every minute. Person after person, and hes doing the same thing to all of them, literally all of them. There is no way the same treatment plan works for everyone. Thats like giving antibiotics to every sick person that comes into your doctors office. Not everyone has the same illness. It’s total bogus. If youre feeling tension in your neck or shoulders, do what I did, do some online research and youll save yourself a couple hundred maybe even thousand bucks. Stretches that help are the following: NOTE: Dont forget to breathe during these stretches, the breathing helps bring blood into the knotted muscles to relax them. 1. Roll your neck around 5 times, both ways, slowly. 2. Connect your hands behind your back and stretch your shoulders towards your back. Hold it until you feel your muscles get slightly tired and relaxed. 3.Tilt your head to one side all the way, then the other. 4. Lay down on your back and stretch all your limbs. If I could give this chiropractor 0/5 stars, I would. And not that this has anything to do with anything, but hes pretty creepy. Smiles all the time and gives you blank stares. Giggles like the joker. Very awkward and uncomfortable. I wouldnt mind it if he actually helped me, but he didnt. Very disappointed.

For me there is an abundance of reasons why I love chiropractic and my Chiropractors at Marshalls Creek Chiropractic. Over my lifetime I have had quite a few injuries to my back. My experience with doctors has always been a lot of “I dont knows and medicine” While medicine would help to mask the pain, it made me feel bad in other ways. With chiropractic I feel relief from the pain. They dont cover pain from a pinched nerve, they take the pressure off. I have had more complications with my back than a pinched nerve and chiropractic has a lot to do with how I got through it. There was a period of time when I was sick for 4 years. Back pain was part of it but not all. The sickness, anxiety, depression, and pain, just ate away my energy. There were times when I could barely walk. My chiropractors helped to ease a lot of that pain and I had more energy to give towards more important things like my kids. While they could not entirely fix my herniated disc, Dr. Brett and Dr. Anne Marie supported my decision to have it removed. When the surgeon looked at my MRI and asked me “How are you still walking?” my first thought was that it was most likely the chiropractic care I had received. It was the largest herniated disc he removed all year...and it was December. What is left of my disc is so degenerated that it is barely there. I have a ton of arthritis on my spine and still have pain. A lot of that pain has been relieved from the chiropractic care. They helped me tremendously through my pregnancy, and I actually made it a point to get in there on my wedding day. When finding a chiropractor, it does matter a lot where you go. You have to find the right fit. I went to an office in the past where it was a stuffy kind of office, not very friendly, and the doctor was more matter of fact than he was friendly. If someone is going to be working on my spine, I prefer friendly. I couldnt trust him, so I moved on. AT Marshalls Creek Chiropractic, it is a very friendly environment. Its more of a family atmosphere. I walk in and they know my name, and they know my children. They show me whats going on with me and they always answer my questions. They have been a huge help in relieving my pain so I can live my life.

My name is Debra. I never do this; I dont even have an account and so Im using my daughters. I do feel the need to share my experience though. I actually fell off a cliff trying to save a dog who was being attacked by two larger dogs. I forgot I was next to the cliff and I grabbed the dog and stepped back and found myself clinging literally to the side. I had somehow braced myself against the cliff and pushed everything back in doing so. I had always had problems, being born with a leg shorter and a hip higher and I suffered for years after the fall waking up every night with pain in my joints where my legs meet my hips, on both sides. Then, I fell on the ice this past winter and starting seeing Dr. Brett almost as often as he wanted me to and hed ask me to push against his hands to see how much strength I had and the last time he did it he had me lie on my side and he pushed above my rib cage and kept pushing and finally pushed like he was giving an adjustment. He asked me to push my leg against his hand again and my strength was back. Get this, he says he had to kind of jump start my brain, that I had a short circuit of sorts. My brain was programmed not to move my hips because they had been injured. Dr. Brett re-programmed my brain to tell my hip it had been healed and that I could move it! Amazing! I am sleeping so much better! I have so much less pain! It is amazing how strong our minds are! If we could only own that power! Dr. Brett let me experience that first-hand! I can actually stand and not rock from side to side or lean on my shorter leg to ease the pain. You owe it to yourself to see these two, Doctors Brett and Anne Marie.
