Been seeing Dr. Loos for awhile now. When I was diagnosed with Runners Knee, I quickly made an appointment. Not only Dr. Loos adjust my knee and set it back right but he showed me exercises to help with running. Great Life will keep you active, not side lined.

Just had my first appointment at Great Life and it was also my first time EVER at a chiropractor and the experience was better than I had imagined. For so many years, friends and family would always tell me that with my constant back and neck issues, I should consider going to a chiropractor but I was always either just too busy or too lazy! Dr. Loos was very kind and knowledgeable and made me feel at ease.

He didn't judge when I had mentioned my bad posture. Instead, he reassured me that I am not the only one and showed me some warm ups I can do before anything strenuous. I will definitely be returning soon as well as recommending Great Life to friends and family!

I have been to several chiropractors in the area and none compare to Great Life. Dr. Ted will take care of you with his magic hands and friendly demeanor. It is a laid back atmosphere where you will feel immediately comfortable and welcomed. You will not be disappointed with how you feel when you leave. The massage therapists they have are wonderful as well! Give them a try!

I've gone to Ted's practice for several years. He is always friendly, and his office staff fits me in for an appointment as quick as possible. He excels as a healer and usually gets my lower back pain/stiffness under control in very few visits. I have recommended him to friends and loved ones in the past, and he has always helped them out. I would recommend his chiropractic expertise highly; especially for people that do physical work for a living.
