Over the past 5 years, I have sought chiropractic treatments for a variety of ailments (neck and back problems, constipation and other issues). Chad is an excellent chiropractor and with every adjustment I saw results. would recommend Petterson Chiropratic to anyone.

For starters, I have been to numerous other chiropractors in the past and have quickly lost trust for them and their techniques. I then, very hesitantly, began seeing Dr. Chad Petterson at Petterson Chiropractic and he instantly was a blessing. Dr. Chad Petterson is a very caring doctor who is very concerned for his patients well being! I have been seeing him for the last three years now and all aspects of my health have been improved. I highly recommend Dr. Chad Petterson as your next chiropractic doctor!

I have been treated by multiple chiropractors for various lengths of time over the last few years and did not see any improvements. With Dr. Petterson, I started to see and feel improvements after a few sessions. He is caring, compassionate and very knowledgeable about the human body. He is the best!

I have been treating with Dr. Petterson for a whiplash and other relatated issues, I was having a lot of headaches and dizziness, and low back pain. I was in pain everyday, and the dizziness was really making it hard to be functional on a day to day basis. I now have no dizziness, and very minimum neck and back pain, and feel like I got some of my life back. I love the technique he uses, I have been to many Chiropractors and have worked in the profession for a number of years, and I always thought some to be too aggressive, I like Dr. Pettersons gentle approach. And He also takes time to explain in detail your progress. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to feel better and get out of pain.
