This place is definitely worth going to for an adjustment. I'm in town from another state and was i was desperately needing an adjustment and he did an amazing job. I called and was able to come to the office within 2 hours of asking for an appointment and I'm already almost pain free. I'm used to Chiropractic adjustments and have been to hundreds in my life and he was by far one of the best and and very efficient, effective, and His support staff is very friendly and helpful.
Also just FYI if you are here on vacation and try to bike here from Litchfield properties, You will run out of trail and need to go back and get your vehicle so plan on driving. I biked until I got to the BP station and had to turn around because the bike trail ended.

Dr. Neil Fico, Darren, and the entire SSI team provide a warm, family atmosphere. Neil treats our older kids with sports-related pain, and he's helped me get over some shoulder and back ailments. We always learn something new when we visit too. Thanks, Strand Spine Institute!
