Loved the whole experience. Doc is Incredible!!- The online reservation system was really easy and helpful to get my first appointment set up

- I have absolute confidence that my doctor can solve my concerns...I'm scheduling more appointments as soon as I can.
- I had less pain after just one visit! Looking forward to coming back for more! Thank you!
- I love the location of this practice in Old Town. The facility is very pretty, staff is wonderful. I learned new things about my body that other doctors never touched upon, received valuable suggestions and alternatives. Just what I am looking for in a new doctor.
- Very friendly and professional staff. Dr. Posner listened and then took her time with a full evaluation and adjustment. Will be returning next week.
- I was told by a friend that both Doctors Posner and Zimmerman are excellent. My appointment was with Dr. Posner, and she was very friendly and very effective at listening and then doing a few adjustments that made an immediate difference. She also gave me advice about how to stay ahead of my occasional back pain.
- Dr. Zimmerman and the front desk staff were lovely. They listened well and were efficient and kind.
- This is *essential* for postpartum support! And I was initially so scared to get realignments. Doctor Posner provided exactly what I needed - never pushed me too far, was extremely gentle and effective. I can genuinely say this place is helping me build my body back postpartum.
- Thank you for this first appointment that was very professional. I only wish I had found you, or reached out to you before as I think that would have been beneficial for me and my body!
- As a 66 year old, I needed to try an alternative to regular physical therapy, thus i visited Back to Health. The experience was wonderful. I left feeling I'd been listened to, and my body felt better afterwards as well. I'm most impressed.
- Outstanding staff!
- Dr. Katie Zimmerman was fabulous! She asked the right questions and customized my appointment to my specific needs. Her adjustments made an enormous difference in that I'm able to live each day without extremely stiff pain. I am definitely going back!

- My pain is already starting to subside! Very happy with my visit!
- Wonderful first visit experience. I highly recommend.

- Thank you so much! Dr, Shara's knowledge is surpassed only by her compassion for patients.
- I really appreciated the detailed explanations of everything the doctor was doing and her explanation of why. I also appreciated the follow up exercises. Initially i thought the practice was in network (this was my fault), so i was a little surprised when i arrive that i was told they were out of network, but the front desk was very helpful in explaining the fee structure.
- Excited to have found a chiropractor I like on my first try.
- 11 out of 10 stars! My shoulder and back pain relief was instantaneous after my first visit. The expertise and professionalism in the staff made it worth my time and money and then some! Looking forward to going back again to keep up body alignment, relief from pain, and to have a plan in place to keep my body pain-free as possible!!
- Dr. Posner is a miracle worker! I walked in with a crutch and by the end of the next day I could walk pain-free without it!! She is very knowledgeable and skilled at what she does and I would highly recommend her!!
- Dr Posner is absolutely amazing - kind, compassionate, empathetic, and professional. Highly recommend her and this practice!
- Great visit. Very helpful.
- Great experience! I will be back! Thank you!
- Dr. Zimmerman made the experience worth coming back for a second session. I was educated by what I could do and she made me feel less nervous as a first time back adjustment customer.
- Just one visit and I feel great! A little sore but I feel great
- Thank you for being gender inclusive!
- Excellent care and customer service.
