Chiropractic Yelp Review: “Dr. Twombly is very courteous, explains in great detail…”

All my visits bear the same hallmark: Dr. Twombly is very courteous, explains in great detail the situation, with sound recommendations. His spinal and neck adjustments are gentle, I don’t feel any pain during- or after- the adjustment. At the last visit, after the massage therapy he performed yet another adjustment, with (IMHO) better result – my back muscles were really tight before the massage. I feel that, for Dr. Twombly, a patient is a human being, not a consumer (or a statistic).

On a couple of occasions I was treated by Dr. Erickson. He, too, was very nice, did an awesome job at relieving the pain I had in my right shoulder, and had the same caring attitude you would expect from a doctor.

Massage therapy:

This time, the massage was performed by Danny, a very gentle big fellow! There are two other massage therapists in this clinic, and you cannot go wrong with either one of them. The therapists will adjust the massage pressures to match the patient’s needs; if the patient mentions the pressure is too high or too low, they will change it accordingly. The patient will just need to let them know what (s)he wants. The technique they employ is called “deep-tissue massage”.

Last (but not least) is the good-natured, front-desk receptionist, Victor. He is super nice – he welcomes you with a smile and a friendly attitude whenever you walk through the door.

A potential customer can easily find an appointment time that fits his/her schedule, including Saturdays. As an add-on, the clinic routinely offers discount vouchers on Yelp.com. The wait time is around 0 – 10 min (my experience). While waiting, you can educate yourself by using the lighted anatomical charts (hung on the wall in the waiting room), that show the connection between different nerves, vertebrae, and organs at the press of a button. Very informative!

I have one suggestion for improvement: to consider additional massage techniques, like traditional Asian (eg. Shiatzu, acupressure), trigger points, and reflexology.
