ABSOLUTELY THE BEST
Dr Chris has been my best choice of care for over a decade, and not just for chiropractic care. I’ve been through many of his courses, in many different healthcare subjects, which have impacted my health for life. He truly cares about all aspects of people’s wellbeing and is a one of a kind
Thank you, Dr Chris, for all the help you’ve provided, for me and every member of my family!.
Excellence!!
I found Dr. Chris by the grace of God. I was suffering with vertigo which was decreasing my quality of life. I had been to several doctors, physical therapy, ear nose and throat, Institute of Balance…nobody could help my vertigo until I went to Dr. Chris and discovered that my upper cervical spine was misaligned and causing the vertigo. After just a few months of therapy I found great relief with no vertigo which has given me my life back. He has helped me tremendously and I highly recommend him and am thankful I found him.
Highly Recommend
Our son has been seeing Dr Chris for 5 months now and counting. We’ve seen numerous doctors and specialists over the last few years, but it wasn’t til we saw Dr Chris that we finally started to see the improvement we were so desperately seeking. We were recommended to him by our orthodontist, Dr Drew McDonald, as he saw a misalignment in a scan of his neck. Dr Drew referred us to Dr Chris for further review. Dr Chris was able to identify an upper cervical misalignment affecting some of his brain stem nerves, that was basically sending his body into fight or flight mode all the time. This misalignment came from when he was in utero and has gone undiagnosed for almost 7 years. With consistent adjustments, we have seen real improvement that to us is almost priceless. His over all health, his behavior, his mood, his energy all have changed for the better. We really do feel that this upper cervical care has been a missing piece to our son’s health. And although it’s somewhat of a drive for us to St Petersburg, it is more than worth it. Dr Chris is extremely knowledgeable and so thorough in his explanations. He’s great with our son, as our son looks forward to his adjustments every time! The staff is amazing, they are so kind, caring, and accommodating. We really feel so blessed to be at their practice!
