I decided to try Upper Cervical Chiropractic after my neck and hip pain were not resolved with conventional therapies (Orthopedic care and physical therapy). After X-rays and scans, Dr. Gertner spent some time explaining the results of my tests. He discussed why I was having pain, and how upper cervical adjustment would resolve it. The adjustments are very gentle, but you do feel a difference. I've been a patient since April, so it was a commitment to put in the time, but now I'm seeing results. My neck pain is just about gone and my hip is 90% better. I've even noticed the tinnitus I've had for years is less severe. Thanks Dr Gertner and staff. You guys are great!

Dr. Gertner and Dr. Walter are both very kind, compassionate, and do their best to help their patients. My mom immeditately felt better. I struggle with EDS and haven't felt relief yet but I understand it is a process and everyone's body is different. Don't feel discouraged if you do not immediately feel better, you may even feel more pain. But it is important to try to stick through the treatments to feel better in the long run.
