"I can now lay flat on my back without pain!"
Didn’t think a chiropractor could really do anything to fix it, but I was wrong.
- Skylar Reuschel
"Made me feel a lot better after first visit."
I was having severe back pain which I thought was nerve but was more of a sprain/strain. It was so painful. Still more work to do but vast improvement.
- Bobby Merhaut
"Nick was by far the best chiropractor that I’ve seen in the past 25 years. "
I’ve had 2 neck surgeries and also have lower back and hip pain that he was able to relieve.
