Paul Martin is by far the absolute BEST chiropractor Ive ever had the privilege to work with. Other Drs (five previous) would quickly stamp their way through an appointment, doing the same adjustments, in the same pattern week after week. This is a fine approach if you are in a hurry or you require the same adjustment week after week. As we all know, life doesnt work that way. It is much more ambiguous and fluid, and our bodys needs vary with each state of health and unique tasks we engage. Paul stands out because of his philosophy around this dynamism. First of all, he has an array of high-tech diagnostic tools he smartly utilizes and integrates data on your initial visit. This allows him to efficiently assemble an individual course of treatment, saving you time and money because he directly approaches your specific issues. Secondly, he listens to his patients, not only with his ears but with his hands. He has an innate sense of imbalance and is able to quickly pinpoint troublesome areas that are connected to your symptoms. He also will not rush his adjustments, allowing you to begin listening to your own body. Next, he is extremely intelligent and has an authoritative command regarding the interconnections of all bones, joints, muscles, and nerves. I teach Anatomy & Physiology at a local college, so I can say with a professional certainty. We frequently have discussions around this muscle and that joint for that nerve (nerdy, I know). He is also able to make that knowledge relatable to folks not as well versed in the infinite puzzle I call "human," by describing common aspects in everyones lives. Fourthly, he is highly creative. He is writing his own series of sci-fi/fantasy books, available in his lobby (nerdy, I know). I have yet to read them but others seem to enjoy his tales. He approaches his patients in the same light, unique and creative adjustments for a dynamic world. I recently cracked a rib during a major move. This has wreaked havoc to my overall health and fitness, let alone the simplest of tasks like lying face-down or face-up. This provided an enormous challenge to Paul as most any treatment requires this. He came up with an elegant solution that allowed me to distribute my weight (and pain tolerance) upon him! (Did I mention that he is crazy strong? Ask about his ring workouts!) Needless to say, after just two sessions, I can take full breaths and sneeze without pain, truly miraculous. Lastly, hes also a goofball, making horrendous puns and chiro jokes that only serve to make him more endearing and the experience more pleasant. All in all, this is the most comprehensive and reliable treatment I have ever encountered.

Following a car accident in late 2013, for the first 8 months I was under chiropractic care with another skilled practitioner that was trained in another method. My recovery was palpable, yet not as consistent nor as lasting as I had hoped. I had known of Paul and his practice in the chiropractic method of BioGeometric Integration (BGI) for a couple of years. After making the decision to switch to Paul and BGI, Paul supported me through another 6 months of treatment. By February 2015 my improvement was remarkable, consistent and permanent. Pauls understanding, insight and skills in BGI and the healing ability of our bodies guided my body to return to its natural ability to achieve and maintain dynamic equilibrium very near what it was prior to the car accident.

I had my first appointment with Dr. Martin this week. The night before, I injured my right knee while wrestling. Heading into his office, I was walking like a crab and having to drag my leg up the stairs, only able to apply about 10% weight on this leg. I had no expectations of him helping with this issue, but he felt my knee, rolled it in his hands, and asked me to test it. I stepped off his examination table and was immediately able to apply full weight on this leg with most of the pain eliminated too. Wow, I know from experience that this type of injury would normally have left me hobbling around for weeks.

Dr. Paul Martin is a brilliant and inspired chiropractor who has taken the time to master his skills to a peak performance level. His infectious smile and easy laugh make him a pleasure to be around and his obvious caring of his patients makes them feel secure and comfortable. Being a master at this level in the field of chiropractic is no easy task. I know ..... I am one as well!

Dr. Paul has a powerful ability to heal, carried out in a gentle manner. He did more than alleviate my pain. After 4 sessions I was happier, more confident and ready to take charge of my life. I set higher goals for myself and broke unhealthy eating and thinking patterns. If you are ready to make positive changes in your life and not look back, Dr. Paul is your guy.

Working with Paul has been great. I have had increased movement in my neck and back. During the last year, I am experiencing less pain overall. These physical improvements have aided me to regain strength for my workouts. I also really like that he takes the persons physical goals into consideration when devising their care.

I have been involved in more than one accident. There is only ONE choice for Chiropractor. You cannot find someone that is more in tune to tune you up.
