I have been a patient of Amherst Family Chiropractic for many years, after a past car accident that left me in a lot of pain, I didn't want to resort to taking pain killers advised from the specialist I was sent to, so I sought out other options, after trying several chiropractors I found Dr. Kane, he helped work with me to get me the appointments I. needed and helped adjust my body back to normal.

I also had an issue with my ankle from and injury at one point that would always act up when I would wear flip flops that he corrected and no pain since. In April this year after getting laid of due to Covid-19 I was experiencing some really intense discomfort from my hip area being an avid hiker I.

I had numerous treatment sessions with Dr. Walder for both lower back and neck pain. Dr. Walder was pleasant, down to earth, funny, and also no-nonsense; as well as effective. He had prescribed me some stretching exercises to do at home, and on the next visit he rightfully chastised me for having not done the exercises. I will return to this office, and have recommended them to friends and coworkers.

Full disclosure: I have worked here as a massage therapist. I have been a patient of Dr. Kane's since 2015. I find his work very effective, while he is also.careful and conservative. I never have to worry that he'll injure me. Dr. Walder joined AFC recently. I have had couple of sessions with him, and they were very helpful. Sharon, at the front desk, is lovely. I've never heard her be rude or say an unkind word. I've recommended AFC to several friends, and they've been very pleased with their results.

This place has a beautiful lobby with the biggest umbrella tree I've ever seen. It's honestly worth the trip! The doc is extremely skilled at adjustments and gave me a tremendous postural tip when he explained the McGill Sit-up. Absolute game changer.
