Very happy with the care from Dr. Donnelly. I initially went as a result of lower back problems while expanding my exercise regiment but what I got was so much more. He worked with me to address the back issues and that continues to go very well.

But he also has been able to look at the larger physiological exercise issues beyond just the back - how are stretching, leg issues, back issues, etc. intertwined and lead to better overall physical health?

I've expanded my stretching to continue building a more solid base and core knowing that will ultimately help my back and everything else. That is readily apparent from the office visits as we work through the items and I can feel the benefits.

Having said that, Dr. Donnelly is NOT one of those doctors looking to keep you on his payroll, so to speak, and coming back to pull your co-pay as often as possible. It's very apparent that he'll work to get you physically repaired but then adjust your visit schedule as-needed - and if that includes no visits, all the better because he successfully did his job getting you around and active again.

Very happy with the overall experience as well as the holistic approach offering more than just chiro services (physical therapy, massage, workout equipment, etc.). That's a key factor for me also, the integration of chiropractic services with overall physical health that radiates out from the spine.
