Testimonials

Susan Manners

"As a long time patient of Dr. Sherwin I can easily say he is the best and he has helped me enormously. His process is different, it’s less intrusive, no big neck cracking, its more intuitive, looking for the root cause of the issue then proceeding to make adjustments. It’s a different, smarter process with excellent results."

Kyle Starr

"Dr. Steve is awesome! He doesn't just snap and pop back into place but actually does muscle testing to make sure your body and muscles are working as they should. Best Chiropractor I've ever seen! Dr. Steve is sooo much more than just a Chiropractor his philosophy on letting your body heal itself once it's aligned to do so naturally instead of pumping synthetic medicine into your body, he also has some natural supplements to help in the process."

Thomas Wong

"Dr. Sherwin is an absolute professional at his work.

He provided the best possible service, informed me exactly what was happening during the session and what it would help, and experienced IMMEDIATE results only moments afterward.

I experienced frequent back pain and strain from my current employment prior to my appointments with Dr. Sherwin, but afterwards, never again. For months and counting!

I would have gladly paid twice as much for results of this level.

Look no further, because Dr. Sherwin brings superior results!"
