  I decided to give this place a try for my lower back pain due to recommendations from neighbors and good online reviews. During the initial consult, Dr. Calvin described his methods as more "aggressive" compared to my previous chiropractor from the eastcoast, who had sent him extensive notes before my first appointment. I was hesitant, but still decided to give his way a try, which was my mistake. Dr. Calvin is the quintessential back-cracker type of chiropractor. After our first session, my back was tight and ached, and by my evening I was in a lot of pain with pain radiating to more of my back. I went back the next day, and he promised to be more gentle, but it was still too rough. Before leaving, I was still in pain, but he chalked it up to my original injury and inflammation caused by the stretching and cracking done during the sessions, and said the pain would ease in a few days. Minutes after leaving, the stiffness became pain, which continued to increase until I was in agony bending down or getting up from a sitting or prone position. I tried heating, icing, walks, epson salt baths, stretching, etc but nothing helped. I ended up in Urgent Care where they were horrified and strongly recommended not to go back to Dr. Calvin. I will say I was warned there would be some pain/soreness/aches after initial sessions due to the body adjusting, but this wasn't manageable pain. I only felt some very mild soreness after my east coast chiropractor sessions that lasted less than an hour, but never pain. Dr. Calvin's method may work for some, but not for me.

  Dr. Calvin is an exceptional chiropractor! I highly recommend him. I’ve been dealing with a persistent shooting pain in my arm and shoulder for over two years. It all started the same day after receiving my COVID booster shot. Initially, the pain was confined to my arm, but after a few months, it spread to the back of my neck. My doctor ordered an X-ray, which revealed nothing. Subsequently, I underwent therapy to prepare for an MRI. Despite eight sessions of therapy, the pain remained, and the MRI results showed no history of trauma. I consulted several specialists, all of whom recommended over-the-counter medications. However, I had already tried these medications, and they had no effect on the pain. Now, after two years of dealing with multiple doctors and undergoing various tests, they insist on another MRI. However, I must first undergo another round of therapy before an MRI is permitted. They also prescribed some medications for me to try, but I decided to explore alternative options because I feel like I’m merely kicking the can down the road. It’s been two years and a half since I began this journey, and I haven’t found any resolution. That’s when Dr. Calvin came into my life. I had always been hesitant to visit a chiropractor, but my wife, who had set up an appointment without my knowledge, convinced me to give it a try. Initially, I was hesitant, but she was adamant about my trying something different. I visited Dr. Calvin, and I was honest with him about how my wife had arranged the appointment. He listened attentively to me and explained things that made perfect sense. I was impressed with his knowledge and the time he took to discuss my concerns. After my first session, I experienced some relief that lasted for about three to four days. I felt a sense of relief and improvement. I continued my sessions, and after four weeks of weekly visits, I hardly noticed the pain anymore. My sessions have been reduced to once every two weeks, and I’ve been pain-free for the past few months. I’ve only been seeing Dr. Calvin for less than four months, and I’m already seeing significant improvements in my condition.

  Dr. Mulanax has been my chiropractor for about 10 years. Over the years he has provided excellent care and prescribed important exercises to maintain my health. I strongly recommend his services.

  Initial consultation and adjustment was an excellent experience. Dr. Calvin was very patient with my questions and he was very clear with his answers and it was easy to understand. And the adjustment itself felt incredible! My lower back was very tight and Dr. Calvin just helped release a lot of that tension!
