I was in a car accident and have tried physical therapy, a different Chiroprator, massage, orthopedics, yoga, anything I could. Basically the orthopedist said my only option was pain management, who wanted to burn my nerves off and give me steroid injections. I didn’t want to do that and that is when I found Dr. K. I feel like I’m making progress with my spinal issues. I love that it’s not just a typical chiropractic adjustment, I also have exercises I have to do, decompression, laser treatment, trigger point therapy, and home care. We do progress checks with xrays so I can actually see the changes happening. Everyone there is friendly, the office is clean and modern. Scheduling is easy. I’ve had a few challenges with insurance and payments but nothing major and it’s always been corrected quickly. I would highly recommend Dr K for any chiropractic need!

I was diagnosed to have several discs o in my sacral area that was which she X-rayed the areas she felt were affected. And she was spot on in all the diagnosis made. She set up a treatment plan which involved my cooperation in the form of exercise and information on diet and its effects on our health.All in all this is a very caring, knowledgeable and compassionate staff with A nr 1 attitude. I feel that they were Life savers John A Shagren Jr LPN (Retired from 45 wonderful years)

I feel rushed and overlooked there and they dont spend much time with me or listening to me as a patient. A huge money guzzler. Feels like profit over patient care is the priority. Ive had the same pain for a year after spending thousands of dollars at this office. Im going to find another chiropractor.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent visit to see Dr. Fortini. He was kind, knowledgeable, and easy to talk to. Jenn, at the front desk was incredibly helpful and professional. You are in good hands here!

I have been a patient of Dr. Martin’s for six months. I suffer from fibromyalgia and arthritis and have constant pain, inflammation and stiffness. I have a targeting massage before each visit which has been beneficial to me. It relaxes the muscles so I can get an adjustment. She uses a different type of technique that is not as painful. Dr. Martin listens if you are having a bad day and adjusts your treatment. They use X-rays to actually target your problems. I will never be pain free but it has offered some relief, even it it’s temporary. The staff is wonderful, well educated, and caring. It is a comfortable, upbeat atmosphere, and they give a lot of encouragement.

My sharp neck pain is gone, and my lower back pain is much more tolerable now thanks to Dr Martin and the lovely staff at Merrimon Family Chiropractor. The care here is exceptional. They truly care about your health. I get so much more than just physical care; my spirits are lifted everytime I leave the office. I am so grateful to be a part of this chiropractor family.

I love this place. Staff are professional yet the atmosphere is very relaxed, They always takes the time to answer any questions or concerns I have. Dr. Martin is very knowledgeable and gentle when doing my adjustments. My husband and I are having great results. I no longer have pain in my mid back that drove me crazy for years. Of course we know, its not an instant fix but it is getting better.Thank you guys.

The staff here are so awesome and friendly... before i came here i was in constant pain in my back and neck and so far after almost 20 visits i feel great. The key point though is to keep going back even if you feel good and stay adjusted. I highly recommend anyone to try this place out and you will not be disappointed.

Everyone there is friendly and willing to help. The hours are reasonable. Many types of insurance accepted and they offer discounts when paying for 10 visits at a time. Three doctors on staff with a nice range of expertise. They even give their patients massage! Great place for chiropractic therapy.

I love this doctor! I can’t say enough good things about my experiences so far. Everyone in the office is so accommodating and informative, the atmosphere is laid-back, and I truly feel like a huge difference is being made in my back already. My pain is dramatically reduced, range of motion improved, and even my moods are more regulated! Dr. Martin is my superhero!

Realigned and RevivedI came in with knots, kinks, and some parts of my body just refusing to speak to others. After a friendly greeting and a short wait, I got a good brief massage, a thorough reading of my bodys condition, and a wonderful adjustment ... So just a short time later, I realized, suddenly the knots were unraveled, the components are communicating again, and everything is flowing like music.As I left and walked down to the lot, I even felt light on my feet, as if I were dancing. An hour earlier Id had trouble moving without pain, but after Michaels therapeutic contact, I already felt strong and fluid, ready to go, and to do what needed to be done -- and more.This is my reliable, typical experience at Merrimon Family Chiropractic. They know me and can read on my face or hear in my voice what I might need. Each member of the staff responds with interest and caring. They dont just realign my spine, they also seem to revive my spirit and restore my energy. Each individual there is a consummate professional, an engaged and compassionate individual. I feel cared for and supported and restored. Their advice, recommended exercises or stretches always work. Even the informative health tips on the waiting room screen are educational and helpful. I learn something valuable every time I visit.Thanks for being such good listeners (very important with a wordy person like myself), so good-natured, and so generous. It really is sustaining.Ill see you next month, if I can wait that long, so you can straighten me out again!

My initial visit was wonderful. I was met with very knowledgeable staff. They went over my medical history, explained the equipment they use, and explained the spinal cord and how it works. The doctor did an initial exam and explained what areas need attention. I would highly recommended them.

I look forward to my weekly visit at Merrimon Chiropractic. Dr. Fortini and Dr. Martin are both wonderful doctors and are helping me with the reverse curvature in my neck. I was initially concerned with the cost but they worked with me and we found a plan that I could afford to get me back aligned. I highly recommend them for all your chiropractic needs! The entire staff is amazing and I cant say enough how they make you feel at home, like you are part of their family. I appreciate all you do for me and my family. So thank you Merrimon chiropractic for all that you do!

I have never met a more friendly team of caregivers who are as genuinely passionate as this bunch! They explain every step of the chiropractic process and are eager to help patients learn and heal. I am happy to walk into the office three times a week because I know I will be met by several smiling faces.

Review №23

Although I have had chiropractic care from other doctors, none compare to the care and compassion that Merrimon Family Chiropractic has shown me. I am a very busy person so having a chiropractor who works with me and has very flexible scheduling is something I greatly appreciate. Ive also had financial trouble over the last few months, and they have been incredibly helpful with working out a payment plan that fits my needs. They are genuinely concerned with giving me the best chiropractic care possible.As far as the care itself, when I walked into the office the first time, I was in constant pain. It was always worse when I was at work. By the end of my work day I would be in tears from the pain shooting up my back and down into my legs. I could barely walk. After the first month of care, I saw a huge difference. Going to work was no longer unbearable. I have seen so much improvement since I started coming to Merrimon Family Chiropractic. The whole team here has been wonderful, caring, honest and have done absolutely everything to give me the best experience in chiropractic care!-Kristen Hipps

I went for a few months and they kept saying that they where going to file my insurance but they never did. They sent me a bill for over $400 and never replied back to my emails about them filing with my insurance company. They turned over the balance to a collection agency. I feel they should remove the collection report from my credit report because they didnt file with my insurance.

My husband and I have been going to Merrimon Family Chiropractic for approximately five months now. I attend Asheville Community Yoga and am very happy that Merrimon Family Chiropractic was there giving spinal evaluations so that I became aware of them. I had my x-rays and started treatment in April. I felt so much better right from the very beginning, and had my husband start there as well.I am a senior and had been diagnosed with a degenerate hip. The idea of surgery is a non idea to me. However, at times walking without pain was not easy. Not only did Merrimon Family Chiropractic concentrate on my spinal and neck adjustments, but they have adjusted my hip so that I rarely have pain now when walking. My husband tends to overwork on our property, and as a result suffers from back pain. Particularly, Dr. Ben has been working with him, and helping him feel better.They are a great group of individuals, and make it truly enjoyable to attend. The doctors at Merrimon Family Chiropractic are a very caring group who seem truly interested in having you feel the best possible. I am very happy that I started treatment with them, and intend to maintain treatments and maintenance in order to feel the best I can at all times.

I would say that I should have taken advantage of chiropractic care over a decade ago but I wouldn’t have been in Asheville to experience the professional, warm, and personal atmosphere created and sustained by these folks. So grateful I found Merrimon Family Chiropractic. It’s unique and perfectly tailored to my needs. I can’t say enough. They are changing my life.

I was injured and came to them for help because they were referred to me by two people on the same day. Theyve really helped my back and neck in tremendous ways. I am certain it would have been far more difficult to recover if I hadnt come to them for chiropractic adjustments. All the doctors and staff are kind and supportive and it feels like a great environment for healing. They are great at what they do and I would strongly recommend them to anyone.

Review №34

Dr. Crystal Martin did not listen to me. She promised to help me maintain my previously straightened spine and neck. Instead she reversed 4 years of prior treatment by my previous chiropractor. She did exactly opposite of what my x-rays showed and bashed my head into the bench several times in the opposite direction as well as beat my back and side with her equipment. She actually did the opposite of what was required to maintain my previous treatments. I left her office each time in extreme pain after being bashed and brutally manipulated back out of alignment. At first I thought she knew what she was doing. But, she didnt. After each visit with Dr. Martin, who was very heavy handed, all the hard work done by my previous chiropractor was reversed. Every time I left this office I was in extreme pain. I never felt this pain after any treatment with my prior chiropractor. Im back to square one, and now drive out of state back to my former chiropractor to be realigned. Treatment is still ongoing to correct the viciously brutal treatment I experienced at the hand of Dr. Martin. After only a few office visits I realized this doctor was looking at my x-rays in reverse. I stopped going after only a few visits, unlike her response that said after many visits. This was an experience I will never forget, and certainly never repeat with Dr. Martin. Would NEVER recommend.

I have been going to Merrimon Family Chiropractic for about 3 weeks. From Maria’s magic fingers to Dr. Martins précis adjustments my aches and pains in my neck and shoulders have almost disappeared.

Merrimon Family Chiropractic has been such a blessing in my life! My husband and I came to them with no idea of how much we needed their help.

Through the years I periodically have sought chiropractic care. The staff and Doctors at Merrimon Chiropractic far surpass my other experiences. In a reasonably short time I am experiencing a reversal of many of the symptoms I had been complaining about. Education and modern technology have indeed brought chiropractic care to a rightful place in Health Care. These folks know their stuff and I am privileged to be under their care. I highly recommend this business establishment.

There have been incredible improvements in my sons attitude and behavior since we started to see them.

Merrimon Chiropractic is something different. I have had some bad chiropractic experiences, even from some of the most popular best of chiropractors, and finally I have found someone who is truly talented and gives personal attention on every visit. Michael Fortini has improved chronic issues that I thought I would have to live with the rest of my life. Also, the staff are wonderful and they provide a little massage every visit to help me relax and to make the treatment more effective. I have never experienced such authentic care at a chiropractic office before.

I enjoy going to Merrimon Family Chiropractic. The staff is friendly and professional and work together like a family. When I started going to see them I did not realize how bad I had been feeling until I started feeling better. I have dealt with shoulder and neck pain for so long that I just dont remember not having it. Now I am moving much more easily and freely and with no pain! Thanks to the wonderful staff and doctors at Merrimon Family Chiropractic I continue to feel better every day.

Dr. Martin is amazing. When I started going to Merrimon Family Chiropractic I was having daily migraines that were accompanied by dizziness and blurred vision. In just the short amount of time that I have been seeing Dr. Martin those migraines have stopped. After my first adjustment Dr. Martin took the time to text me and see how I was doing.

I went in because my SI Joint was giving me so much pain I could barely walk. As it turned out my problems were more expansive than I had known and the care they recommended was much more than I could afford. They took the time to sit with me and work WITH me on a payment plan that could fit in my budget and still allow me to save every month. Its been a week now and Im already walking better. They put me at ease financially and physically. I am so grateful to have found them.

I was first introduced to chiropractic through my father. When my Dad was younger, half his face became paralyzed (Bells Palsy). Back then, chiropractic was even more misunderstood than it is today. After several visits to multiple neurologists and traditional doctors who did nothing, he decided to give chiropractic medicine a try. One adjustment was all he needed, and his facial paralysis was instantly cured. Most people dont believe this story, but whatever, sucks for them.I almost broke my neck in a severe accident and had chronic pain for years. Combined with the fact that I work on a computer, I was getting terrible head/neck aches every day.After a few visits the pain was gone in the most intense areas, and my quality of life improved dramatically. It even helped my allergies. I rounded out the treatment with a series of massages to reduce ligament tension and scar tissue around the injury. Im pain free now.If you have chronic back/neck/head pain, at least try chiropractic care before you let someone dig around in your spine with a knife or pump you full of medications for the rest of your life.

I was recommended to Merrimon Family Chiropractic because of a bulging disc in my neck. I tried massage, heat, and physio-tape, which in the past helped the discomfort but over time couldn’t manage it. After completing my sessions, my neck pain was gone and I noticed things like sleeping on my side was actually comfortable again. Merrimon Family Chiropractic helped me get back to doing my job - racing bikes - and it made it a little less painful.

After just one message I felt like a new person . I was no longer that intense ball of tight muscles.However what really won me over was that I had hope now of getting off the meds. that I am currently taking for the pain that I have to deal with on a daily base; plus I could lose some unwanted weight that I had gained over the years. I left the office with a new out look on life and extremely excited about.

This place can change your life! My husband has some pretty severe heart problems and after 3 heart attacks and as many surgeries his cardiac doctors wanted to implant a device inside his heart to keep it beating steady. For him chiropractic was a very last resort but now he is urging other people to go in. The hope we didnt even notice we had lost is back. He is in his 2nd full week of treatment and our lives are different. He is becoming the funny, loving, silly man I married. We are excited for his next cardiac appointment to see how he is improving. Thanks to all the staff who have been instrumental to his and our healing.

Wow! Id been having hip & leg pain for a couple of months & was limping around. It really slowed me down. I finally went to Merimon Chiropractic & within a week I feel 100% better. Thank you to my neighbor Matt for recommending his place of employment. I was thoroughly examined & treated appropriately by Dr. Martin. I was impressed with the computer software they use where notes & x-ray shots are on screen for patient & doctor to see each visit. The entire staff has been attentive and very caring during a difficult time.

As a new resident to Asheville, I was concerned about finding health care providers to continue the high level of care I had received for many years in Maine. I hit the jackpot when my primary care physician referred me to Merrimon Family Chiropractic. Everything about my treatment at this office has exceeded my expectations and I look forward to every chiropractic appointment. It is apparent that everyone at Merrimon Family Chiropractic supports health and wellness for their clients. The office staff has made me feel at home with their care, positive attitude and efficiency. Dr. Ben, in just a few months of treatments, has helped to rid me completely of severe headaches. And those massages - they are incredible! I am feeling so much better and experiencing improved energy and joy in my life. I recommend this practice with my highest regard.

The chiropractors at Merrimon Family Chiropractic are pros! We drove across the country to Asheville, and needless to say, they helped us lift the brain fog and our bodies get back to normal from the travel. Weve continued our care with them, which keeps our minds clear and focused and bodies working properly. Cannot say enough good things about this team of experts!! If you truly want to attain better health, chiropractic is the absolute BEST thing that you can do for yourself & family. My son started getting better grades in school, was happier all of the time, and overall healthier due to chiropractic methods. The friendly, knowledgeable staff is a plus as well, they make everything simple, and are always available when needed!

Just a few weeks after I started coming and feeling better, I hurt my knee(pending surgery) and quit coming because I couldnt get on and off the table.The office staff called to check on me and in our conversation told me they had a bed that raises up then lays you down for treatment.

When I first started going to Merrimon Family Chiropractic, I had terrible lower back pain and headaches on a daily basis. After 9 weeks of therapy, I have no headaches and my lower back pain is GONE! I am now on the maintenance program and am getting adjusted about once every month. I have had a chance to visit with all but 1 doctor and they are all wonderful! They are amazing at what they do. Everyone at Merrimon Family Chiropractic cares about you and your well-being; Ive never experienced a doctors office that cares more about you than MFC. I am a very happy client!!

Review №75

If I could give less than one star I would. I waited a long time to write this. review. Mainly because I just wanted to forget the experience. However, I think others should know that this practice isnt a good one. I have been regularly getting chiropractic care once a month for the last 20 plus years. When I first moved to Asheville I wanted to find a practice that could continue the care I was used to getting. I came to this office because of the good google reviews. However, this place is a joke. My first appointment took a total of 1 & 1/2 hrs. I had to read some educational material about subluxation and if I recall correctly, I even take some silly written test about what I had read. Then I was grilled about what I read by his assistant once I was put back in the room. I felt like I was trapped in a live action telemarketing call. Once I was in the room with Dr. Fortini, he refused to adjust me without me first agreeing to x-rays. Although I cant say anything inappropriate happened, I will tell you that I felt very uneasy around him. After all of this ridiculousness, they tried to make me come back to a group session that would require even more of my time. Something they require all of their new patients to attend to help educate them further before you can be scheduled for another appointment. I refused this as well, paid my co-pay (for absolutely no treatment), and left. Several months later I got word from my insurance that this office was attempting to collect payment for the x-rays I never got. I called this office and they withdrew the claim. Tried to play it off like it was some innocent computer error. I was livid. I still get telemarketing texts from this office ,which is just another annoyance to add to the entire unpleasant experience. I do not know what else to tell you. DONT go here.

When I walked into Merrimon Family Chiropractic I felt and still feel like a part of the family. They CARE. The staff there is very helpful and kind. My life is becoming adjusted in more ways then one. I know that adjustments are making the blood flow better because my migraines have decreased, the tension in my back and neck is so much better. the clinical massage therapist is awesome too. I had siatica reer its head and she helped me know alittle more about what I needed to do to take care of it so I could go on my honeymoon. I love this chiropractors office because it doesnt feel like an office. it feels like your home with family.

Because I value my time, I would not consider returning to Merrimon Chiropractic. After waiting an hour and fifteen minutes for my appointment, I was told that the doctor I was waiting to see would not see me until two other patients who arrived after me would be seen. It turns out that the receptionist did not schedule me for the doctor I requested, and instead made her own determination based on the fact that I was a new patient. She failed to tell me which doctor she had scheduled me for when I set the appointment. As it was, I waited a full hour in their waiting room before I was called by the doctor she had scheduled me for. When I told him that I hadnt scheduled to see him, he told me to wait for the one I had asked for. I sat in a treatment room for another 15 minutes when it became clear that I was looking at a still longer wait, as at that point I heard the doctor I was waiting for telling the schedulers that he had two other people to see first. At that point, Id had enough of my Merrimon Chiropractic experience, so went back to the front desk to ask for a refund. The receptionist was very rude and told me that I had gotten it wrong with which doctor I was to see. In fact, the error was all hers, as she never told me that she didnt schedule me for the doctor who I requested. As it was, I would have still waited an hour just to see the doctor I hadnt asked for. Id been to their office the week earlier with the friend who had recommended the chiropractor, and that visit we waited for over half and hour. So all in all, I wasted a quarter tank of gas, two hours of driving to and from the appointment, the aggravation of sitting around their offices for 75 minutes, and then being treated rudely by a receptionist who was in the wrong. If they offered me a free appointment at this point, I wouldnt take it. It doesnt matter how good a practitoner may be - if they have a dysfunctional front desk and over book, they arent worth seeing. Disrespectful, disappointing and unprofessional experience.

I was dubious when I first made my appointment. I had been told by an allergist to never see a chiropractor. From the moment I walked in I knew I had made the right decision. The office staff is always accommodating. My severe headaches were alleviated almost immediately. My allergy attacks are also less frequent. My experience has been nothing but positive. I am glad I didnt listen to the allergist.Karen Hough

Merrimon Family Chiropractic is such a gem. Drs. Fortini and Childers are highly skilled, and their staff are very friendly and helpful. We take our entire family of four - including our special needs daughter - there, and our health is demonstrably improving. I feel more flexible, clear-headed, and pain-free. I highly recommend checking them out for yourself.

Prior to coming to this place I experienced chronic back pain and muscle spasms due to a server accident a couple years back. Overall, I am a very healthy, active, balanced person and sought to heal the areas that were out of balance. I am very happy I stumbled into this chiropractor. All the people here are super friendly, always smiling, and helpful. The adjustments serve the body well. Within my time span here I went from my initial 10 degrees angle (this is the angle that the neck needs to be to allow maximum amount of flow to the rest of the body through the spinal cord) to 17 degrees to now 21 degrees. I need to be at 33 degrees. Im pleased to see the progress and I can feel a TREMENDOUS difference in my back and posture. Keep up the good work!

Dr. Fortini and his staff initially began treating me following a car accident several years ago and I have continued to see them for monthly maintenance adjustments. They have proven to have such a positive impact on how I feel, move, and think - it has truly changed my life - no more horrible shoulder, lower back, neck, or headaches! My overall health is much improved - I have fewer colds and allergy problems! I have better posture! I sleep better!My 87 year-old mother-in-law was about to have back surgery for sciatica issues. My husband, also a regular patient at Merrimon Family Chiropractic, convinced her to try chiropractic treatment first and she is now pain free! No surgery!

I have been a regular patient for two years. Having received chiropractic treatment in Indianapolis before moving to Asheville, I knew I wanted to continue to receive this service. Merrimon Family Chiropractic was recommended by their representative at the Gay Pride Event and I signed up with my life-mate Mary Z. Longstreth. We have been very pleased with the treatments and the continued health we enjoy as a result of our monthly visits We highly recommend this Chiropractic group.

I am a musician and singer songwriter. I found it is essential to my health to have chiropractic care as a part of my life. I started going to Merrimon Family Chiropractic over five years ago. I had a lot of migraines and dizziness issues and just overall not feeling the best. Since I started it has definitely changed my life. I feel so much better now. I continue to see Dr. Ben and Dr. Fortini because they help me be the best I can be at what I do. I believe chiropractic care should be a part of everyones life. If you get the chance to go visit Merrimon Family you wont be disappointed.Melanie Griggs

When I began treatment here I was having trouble with my lower back getting very tight after standing a while or walking a lot. After a few months of treatment, I definitely felt a difference. I recently went on a 3 week trip to Italy where I walked 3-5 hours every day and stood in art museums for hours. I had no trouble at all. If I had gone on this trip a year ago, I wouldve had to sit some things out. I truly appreciate how considerate and kind the entire staff is. Dr. Ben has always been on point with getting me feeling in tip top shape. I also really appreciate the reminder texts and emails I receive to keep me from missing an appointment. My parents have been coming to see Dr. Fortini and Dr. Resnick for years and we as a family are so grateful for everything that the staff does.-Clare Beumer

A whole new level of chiropractics! Dr. Fortini is at the top of his field and it shows in his work. Since my first visit about two months ago, the curvature of my spine has corrected over 10 degrees (its visible on an x-ray!), Ive cut my anti-anxiety meds in half and completely ceased my sleeping medication, my posture has improved, and my pain levels have dropped dramatically. It is absolutely astonishing. Dr. Fortini provides an excellent education on the many crucial functions of the spine, as well as nutrition and lifestyle changes I can make to improve my overall health. Hes a diamond in the rough, for sure, and his team members are an absolute joy. I look forward to this coming year of new life in 2016.

I love going to Merrimon Family Chiropractic, everyone there are really nice and very friendly. They all make you feel right at home. I personally have only been going for 2 weeks now and Im only 22 years old and I can tell a complete difference in my spine neck and shoulders. I always thought going to the Chiro would hurt or be to aggressive, but ever since I have experienced it myself I love going and who knew your spine controlled majority of your body and your nerves. I would go everyday if I could. It is an amazing experience and I most definitely would refer many people to go to Merrimon Family Chiropratic, not only for the chiropractic but for the love and care they all have for all their patients. Thanks Merrimon Family you all are great!! :)

My 2 children and I are receiving chiropractic care and are extremely happy with the results!! Every doctor and staff member has made their experience welcoming and loving. Both sons are currently active in Tae Kwon Do, Bike Club, and Baseball which has resulted in several months of chronic neck and back pain. After the first treatment they had immediate relief and have been better athletes, have been able to have a good nights rest, and have had more energy during the day at school! I have also been treating for neck and back pain with chronic headaches. I have improvement in all areas and have been greatful that I do not have to medically manage my pain but use natural methods.

Dr Fortinis orientation on my first visit really helped me let go of the angst I held because of past bad chiropractic care in the past. After only 6 visits, Im no longer having pain in my right hip from years of drumset playing, experiencing more flexibility in my kneck, and generally feeling more energized. Indeed, if the wiring(nervous system) is firing correctly through the gradual reduction of subluxations, your body cant help buy heal itself as its meant to. Thanks Doc.

Dr. Craig worked wonders on my neck, back and jaw within months of starting a treatment plan. Since a bad experience in college, Ive always been suspicious of chiropractors of being out to take my money for unnecessarily frequent office visits. I was an as-needed patient converted to a regular care plan, and its been worth the investment. I felt like Dr. Craig spent extra time and care making sure that I was correctly aligned and he addressed all my concerns. Im also a severe TMJ patient who had relapsed into painful jaw-popping, and the issue has subsided to the point where I rarely think about it. Their front desk staff is terrific. Unfortunately Dr. Craig had heart trouble and doesnt work there anymore, but the other Drs. offer good care at a fairly reasonable price if you dont have insurance coverage like me.

I first sought Chiropractic Care in Brandon, MS in 2009 for a problem that had plagued me for several years. Steroid injections, anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy gave temporary relief but nothing actually corrected the problem. After approximately 2 months of chiropractic treatment, I was vastly improved and with continued monthly visits, became pain free.We moved to WNC in the fall of 2013 and because of all of the issues involved in buying and renovating a house, and getting started, I neglected my chiropractic needs for over a year. HUGE MISTAKE! After becoming increasingly uncomfortable and developing numerous problems, I researched and discovered Merrimon Family Chiropractic. I asked for an evaluation appointment and realized immediately they were a perfect fit for me. We agreed on a course of treatment and they are getting me back on track. I have every confidence I will soon be at optimal health. I will definitely continue maintenance according to their recommendations.The doctors at MFC are amazing. They inspire confidence, they are professional, kind and understanding. They are always willing to answer any questions I might have and give good explanations of their treatment methods. All members of the support staff are friendly and efficient; the financial plans are affordable and understandable.I am grateful to Merrimon Family Chiropractic for taking me on as a patient and highly recommend them to all who wish evaluation and treatment.-Sue Holliday
