Every time I come here they always remember me by name and greet me as soon as I walk in the door. They are so thoughtful and amazingly sweet, I just love this place.

I will refer everyone I know here. I absolutely love the staff and Dr. Stoker! I have 2 herniated discs (L2-3 and L4-5) and spinal neck problems.

I met Dr. Stoker after about 3 1/2 months of being in PT (which did nothing for me - I made zero improvement) and about 5 months of being out of work while being on pain pills, muscle relaxers, and anti-inflamatories- stuck in my condo with half that time being completly bed ridden. If I had to go in the car, I could only be in the car for about 10 minutes tops and that was with the seat reclined.

I had seen 2 neurosurgeons who strongly advised against surgery (disc replacement or fusion) because I'm "so young" - 30 yrs old.
Thankfully the 2nd neurosurgeon gave me Dr. Stokers name ... after the first appointment I felt a little better and had some hope of "getting back to normal". I don't want to mislead you ... I was sore after each appointment for the first few weeks but began feeling a lot better the day after treatment.

I was absolutely amazed at how much my neck had improved as well ... something I had been living with and dealing with for almost 12 years now. While Yoga helped my neck tremendously, having herniated discs prevented me from doing everything and my neck really began acting up (complete loss of range of motion, extreme muscles spasm, terrible headaches, etc.).

It's now been only a couple months of seeing Dr. Stoker 2/week and I've returned to work, am driving myself, can go grocery shopping with my husband, visit and spend time with family and friends, and have slowly started gaining more of my independence. Granted, my husband helps me a lot ... with all lifting, carrying things, etc.

Not only do I have 2 herniated discs that are healing but I had flat feet ... which was one of the first things Dr. Stoker noticed and addressed with orthodics. It's crazy what a difference orthodics make!

As I was on muscle relaxers (pain pills I stopped taking) when I first returned to work, you can imagine how difficult it was to work while being on muscle relaxers ... I hated it! Having been on muscle relaxers for about 5 months, I was scared to get off them but wasn't really sure it was benefitting me either. Thankfully, Dr. Stoker was able to recommend a more holistic approach to helping my muscles. I'll leave this surprise for you ... all I can say is I can't even express my gratitude for all the great information Dr. Stoker has shared with me, which have made a huge difference in dealing with the 2 herniated discs. I'm actually not on any medications for the herniated discs anymore.

If you have any back or spinal issues, I would strongly recommend you schedule an appointment with Dr. Stoker immediately! You will not regret it and will only think why didn't I do that sooner! Most likely it's not even your "fault" you haven't thought of seeing a chiropractor to heal as all of us are ill informed. I had actually inquired with my PT about seeing a chiropractor, to which I was told "oh no, a chiropractor will make this worse ...". Interesting huh? Take it from me ... you have options ... you just need to take control of your situation and do what's best for you. I assure Dr. Stoker will only do what's best for you.

The office is very well organized and well taken care of. They take time making sure it is presentable. In addition, there's no strong perfumes/colognes in the office. Actually, there's no scent at all and there's an air filter/purifier in the treatment room itself.
