All of the chiropractors here at Ithaca Family Chiropractic are awesome. I came in over a year ago with Sciatica and after a month of adjustments, I was back to regular activity. I hurt my leg while traveling which put me back on the sidelines but one month later and I'm feeling like new. Thank you everyone at Ithaca Family Chiropractic. From the chiropractors to the staff. You are incredible!

From the first day I came here, I've always felt so welcome and comfortable! The team truly listens to what I was experiencing and was able to guide me through what I needed to get my back into realignment and get me moving again. It's more than just chiro care though, they truly care about your whole well being. I love that Dr. Brian gets to know my life stories, and that I get to see his home & work family grow also! I can't imagine anyone giving anything than positive feedback here!

Dr. Jordan was able to straighten me out and now my back and neck pain is much more manageable. I would really recommend Dr. Jordan! The other doctors are good too, I've seen them before as well. Dr. Brian is super nice and personable.

I've been coming for quite some time and I love this place! Every doctor is nice, understanding, and very accommodating. The office staff greets each guest by name and they are a pleasure to talk with. Since I've started coming, my hip pain, headaches, and sciatic pain have all diminished. Best yet, I'm 27 now weeks pregnant and can still get adjusted (now twice a week). I definitely believe it has helped ease my back and hip pain during pregnancy and it's safe for me and my baby until the very end! Don't hesitate, make an appointment today!

I love this office! They're so helpful and friendly. As a former dancer, I had some spine and hip issues that started really affecting my knees, and the adjustments are really helping. And my favorite part is looking at the (free!) X-rays over time to see the positive changes in my spine.
