Finally found a great chiropractor! I was suffering from numbness in my fingers for over a month. My BP was extremely elevated. After trying another chiropractor which resulted in no relief, created migraines for two weeks, and was busy upselling their exercise facility and staff, I sought out a new chiropractor. Columbia Family Chiropractic was so gracious to get me in asap. Dr. Wicks listened to my symptoms, concerns, and was extremely professional.

He took time to describe how the nerves align and gently adjusted my spine, stretched out the tight muscles, and provided good home exercises. After my first appointment, the numbness is starting to dissappear, my BP is only 5 points above normal, and my migraines are gone. I am so thrilled to find a good, caring, and gentle chiropractor! Columbia Family Chiropractic and Dr. Wicks have a dedicated client family for the rest of his career!

If you need a good chiropractor that is truly interested in helping you get back to feeling great with no added sales pitches or charging for unnecessary services to get you quick and lasting relief. Dr. Wicks at Columbia Family Chiropractic is definitely for you!

My experience so far has been wonderful! Everyone there is so nice and every ache and pain I have is typically alleviated by the end of the session. Dr. Wicks targeted my issues and set a plan immediately that has been working really well for me. Dr. Wicks is an excellent doctor and I highly recommend him!

I greatly encourage anyone needing chiropractic services to try Dr. Wicks. We enjoy visiting him as a professional but he also makes you feel like family at the same time. He listens to your needs and that is rare to find in this busy world today! Stacy runs the front desk and they make such a great team. Easy to schedule ahead or last minute.
