Report
I recently had severe neck pain traveling down my arm and after 3 visits I felt much better. I've been coming to Dr. Proffman for 20 years with various issues including sciatica and a pinched nerve in my lower back. Dr. Proffman has helped me with each of my problems and they have healed completely! It's always a pleasure to see him. He's a genuine person that cares about his patients!

I have been doing to Dr. Proffman for many years on and off. He's the only Chiro I trust. He's genuine, honest and had the magic touch. Please don't ever retire my back needs you.

Report
My back was hurting due to improper neck support and a lousy mattress. I was referred to Dr M Proffman and he worked magic. I was fortunate there was no need for surgery. Stretching exercises, massages and common sense. Herbal medicinals. I have to sing Dr Proffman's praises

Have been visiting Dr. Proffman for 20 years after lumbar fusion to keep the rest of spine happy. Don't like going to doctors except for Dr Proffman and nearby acupuncturist Dr. Wu.

Been going to Dr. Proffman for over 20 years. He is an outstanding chiropractor who skillfully goes to the root of your discomfort and corrects it. He takes his time and carefully and patiently explains, in lay language, what is going on with your body and what he is doing, and what you should be doing, to correct it.
