It helps address chronic conditions, postural imbalances, and injuries through non-invasive, drug-free methods.

I have been going to Dr. Nick for several years now. He has always been friendly and seems to make it a goal of his to really get to know you and how best he can help you. He has helped me from breaking up my sinus pressure, to ultrasounds, to adjustments that I didn't even know I needed until done and I could literally feel the pressure go away. His work is amazing, and I couldn't imagine going anywhere else then Chiropractic first!

I LOVE Dr. Tony! I was first skeptical with Tony, he seemed way too nice but he and Dr. Nick are genuinely nice, kind and really care about their patients. I know what you are thinking, "Oh, sure you say that about them because they ask you to do this review or they are giving you money or free treatment." Honestly, no. They are not giving me anything. I say, give Chiropractic First try, it will be worth your time and money

Very friendly environment, super easy appointment scheduling. Dr. Chris is without a question THE BEST chiropractor I have been treated by. He not only fixes my sore neck and shoulders but he always makes sure to make me feel like a valued patient. Thank you Chiropractic first and thank you Dr. Chris! Highly recommend this place :

I have been a patient at Chiropractic First for about a year now, and I am so glad I decided to start coming here. I had never been to a chiropractor before choosing this place, but between neck and back issues I was having I knew I had to at least give one a try. I see Dr. Chris Hartley, and he is super friendly and always does a great job with my adjustments. You never truly realize how much pain you are living with until you aren't in pain anymore! The rest of the staff here are very nice as well, and I'm always seen promptly for my appointments. I definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for chiropractic care.

I had a great experience this morning during my first visit. From scheduling to patient intake to the doctor's spinal manipulation, everything went smoothly. Everyone I interacted with was both helpful and cheerful. I would highly recommend this chiropractic office, and I plan to refer any friends and family to them!
