Ice is used to reduce tissue inflammation. Inflammation is characterized by swelling, redness, tenderness and pain. Sometimes the treatment itself will cause inflammation to flare up for 1-2 days before an area heals, so don’t be alarmed if the pain increases before it gets better. That’s part of the healing process.
- Use a covered (dish towel) ice pack. A bag of frozen vegetables works well too.
- Ice the affected area for 10-15 minutes.
- Do not exceed 20 minutes of ice at a time.
- Repeat this process 2-3 times each day and after activity for 2-3 days.
If the area being iced is a hand or foot, you can submerge the region by filling a bucket or small trash can 1/3 full of ice and then filing with enough water to cover the ice. Rest the affected region in the ice water bath for 1-3 minutes. Repeat 2-3x/day and after activity.
Using an uncovered ice pack may result in frost bite. Never place an ice pack directly on the skin or on skin that is compromised by open wounds or nerve conditions.

There are no words to describe Dr. Walters' approach to fixing my pain/discomfort. I've been involved in sports my entire life; former D1 athlete transitioned to CrossFit Athlete with other athletics mixed in. I experienced significant pain in my left shoulder with weakness and instability going overhead. I feared it was a torn labrum and was going to need surgery. My friends and fellow athletes at our CrossFit gym suggested I see Dr. Walters. Needless to say I scheduled an appointment and spent two sessions getting treatment. Dr. Walters is very honest and straightforward. During my first consultation, she evaluated me and determined she could have me feeling better in 2 or 3 sessions. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Walters if you have any pain, discomfort, or injuries.

I have suffered with lower back pain and sciatica issues for years. Dr.Walters is the only Chiropractor that has been able to help. I never thought I would ever feel this good. Everyone at the office is very friendly and professional I would recommend the spinal care center to everyone.

I was injured very badly in an accident almost 20 years ago. I have been through dozens of major surgeries, years and years of rehibition and pain management in hopes to lessen the daily chronic pain I live with. I can honestly and happily say that Dr. Kristen Walters has changed my life and has given me hope that had been lost for so many years. I have never experienced a spinal Care service that does the work on you the way they do it. They are absolutely the best around in this line of work no question about it and to top it off good honest people that actually care.

I had been suffering with sciatica pain down my right leg for several weeks. It was painful to walk, sit or lay. I made an appointment with Dr. Logan Gehman. He took time at my first visit to ask questions and get as much info about my situation to help with the healing process. I had a series of four treatments and do stretching exercises at home. I am pain free and am so grateful for the care I received. Thanks Spinal Care!!

What can I say about this care except that it deserves an honest 10/10. Their knowledge and treatment are far beyond anything I have experienced. Their kindness, friendliness, and service are more closely linked to hospitality than anything I’ve ever experienced in the medical world. They treat you like an individual, not a statistic or stack of money. Their business model is to treat you and send you out the door with the hope that you will not need to return. All in all, this is the best medical service I have EVER received. I went from daily, debilitating pain, and after a few treatments, I have forgotten the pain ever existed.

I had been struggling with a shoulder injury and seeing a physical therapist and chiropractor. I woke up one morning in a lot of pain and needed a real solution. A visit with Dr. Logan got rid of my pain permanently. That’s their goal here - no recurring appointments. They just get the job done.

I have been suffering from shoulder pain for the past couple of years and was recommended to give Spinal Care Chiropractic and Rehabilitation a call. During my first appointment with Dr. Kristen Walters, she took time to understand where the pain was coming from and knew exactly where to focus on during treatment. After 3-4 sessions, I do not have any pain in my shoulder and can move without discomfort during my workouts and day to day activities. I highly recommend Spinal Care Chiropractic and Rehabilitation and Dr. Kristen Walters for anyone dealing with pain/injury!

Spinal Care chiropractic is the reason I am still sane. I had a running injury for over 16 months and because of them I was healed in just 6-10 sessions. I saw sports medicine doctors, orthopedics, physical therapists, etc. and no one helped me or believed in me the way they did. Their positive attitude and “take charge” mentality to help me get better truly saved my physical and mental health. Not only that, but they are always available to answer questions. I have called the office just to ask Dr. Walters a question about how I was feeling on a run- and she gets back to me in a snap and gives me advice about what I need. I have never felt more supported or more cared for in a doctors office. With the new addition of Dr. Gehman (a great addition to the team), there is also an increased amount of availability and flexibility for appointments. I am a nurse who rotates days and nights, and both the chiropractors and the front desk team work hard to make sure I get seen. I could never thank spinal care enough for what they have done for me as both an athlete and a person.

Great experience! I had sustained a shoulder injury from shooting my compound bow. Was recommended to Spinal Care by a sports medicine doctor. I had some reservations because in the past when I visited other chiropractors, the treatment only consisted of a spinal adjustment and routine and regular continued office visits. This was not the case with Spinal Care.Their goal is to treat your injury and get you back to health or refer you to someone else that can help if they can't. The office staff was friendly and helpful in getting me an appointment and explaining how the new patient information would be collected along with billing. Dr. Gehman called a few days before my appointment to make sure I had a chance to watch the new patient video, review some details of the reason for my upcoming visit, and answer any questions I had. During my appointment, Dr. Gehman did a thorough review of my medical history and injury. He explained what he felt was the problem and the recommended treatment. The deep tissue therapy was uncomfortable and intense but after just two visits my pain was greatly reduced and I was released from treatment. After my first visit, Dr. Gehman called me to see how I was doing and answer any questions or concerns I had. After my second appointment, Dr. Gehman provided some at-home exercises to strengthen my shoulder and prevent any future injuries. I would highly recommend Spinal Care for any pain you may be experiencing. You're not going to get this type of personal care and attention at most medical providers.

I was suffering from right hip pain and lower back stiffness for a few weeks when I was recommended to give Spinal Care Chiropractic and Rehabilitation a call. I hobbled into my first consult/appointment with Dr. Kristen Walters and she explained her process to relieve my pain and got to work! After my VERY FIRST APPOINTMENT, I walked out of the practice with my hip feeling better than it had felt in years. Dr. Walters had given me instruction to complete specific stretches to help the recovery of my hip and to this day, I am absolutely pain free in my right hip and to top it off, I have better flexibility and mobility than I've ever had in my entire life. I went back to a second appointment, this time with Dr. Logan Gehman who I would also absolutely recommend! Within two appointments with Dr. Gehman, my back soreness has disappeared and I've been able to touch my toes for the first time in my life.If you are experiencing any sort of muscle or joint pain, the incredible doctors at this practice will solve your issues, and if they can't, they will let you know! This is unlike any other care center I've been to, and I truly can't even believe a place like this exists. RECOMMENDED 100%.Thank you Dr. Walters & Dr. Gehman! You both are magicians.

Dr. Walters was nothing short of spectacular. I had prior bad experiences with another doctor that just wanted to perform manipulations. When I was having lower back pain that was radiating into my leg, the last thing I wanted to do was get manual manipulations and continue going back. Dr. Walters came highly recommended from two friends. They were not wrong. In just a few short visits, she had me pain free. Thank you so much, Dr. Walters!

I often find myself referring to Dr. Walters as a "miracle worker". I dealt with pain/injury in my neck for a solid year that limited my daily activities and especially my weigh lifting routine. I had seen multiple doctors only to get mild and temporary relief. After my first visit to see Dr. Walters where she performed deep fascia stripping on me, I walked out with less pain and more function than I had in the past year. I have had 3 visits so far and can't believe how much better I feel. I truly see a path to 100% and I am so thankful I found Dr. Walters. I can't recommend her enough.

As a nurse, I have suffered from a recurrent lower back injury for many years, and had pretty much resigned myself to the fact that it was something I'd have to deal with for life. After another flare-up in late 2022 left me nearly unable to walk or function, I was desperate for relief. A friend recommended Dr. Walters.Dr. Walters made me feel comfortable from the minute I met her. She explained her approach in a way I could understand, and prepared me well for the experience during and after treatment. Most chiropractors want you to come in multiple times a week basically for the rest of your life, but Dr. Walters had me discharged after just three sessions. It's now been a few months and my back feels better than ever.Dr. Walters and her entire team were friendly, approachable, and helpful, and their passion for what they do is evident in their work. I walked away from them feeling the way we should feel after working with a medical professional - seen and heard and cared for. I cannot recommend this practice highly enough.

There is no dollar amount you can put on getting out of pain and that’s exactly what willhappen working with Dr Walters! Dr Walters came highly recommended by SEVERAL table over the years and I finally listened and thank goodness I did.I had seen my old chiropractor, been doing PT and saw some improvement but after only two sessions I was PAIN FREE and this was after a month of continuous pain. Not only did she get me out of pain but her practice is kind, professional and empathetic and got me in and assured me I was in good hands. Boy was I ever! Don’t walk…RUN to get into this practice if you know what’s good for you even more so if you’re an athlete and looking to find someone who will treat your injury in hopes to NOT see you for long term care.

My daughter had horrible back pain from dancing. We went to Rothman, xrays were fine, she was told to rest. The problem was she had a college dance audition 3 weeks away. Her back wasn't getting any better. We went to Spinal Care and within 2 visits, she was 90% better! She was able to go to her audition virtually pain free. I have been to many chiros in the area and Spinal Care is the best because you feel so much better after only 1 visit! Thank you Dr. Walters!

Dr. Walters is amazing to say the least. I have had a rotator cuff issue from pitching for the last 15+ years. I have NEVER had any range of motion in my shoulder which would cause me to use my back any time my shoulder was involved. I honestly thought I tore it but all MRI's came back clean. I have been weightlifting for years and always have had issues with my shoulder. Within literally the first appointment, the very next day I was able to bench press more than I ever have before, evenly with ZERO pain. I would always compensate with my back and would never be even, until now! I have had three visits so far and I feel like a new person. My actual shoulder is still tight (just from not being able to use it from all of these years), but I have 80% range of motion after having about 20% for the last 15+ years and no pain like before. I will forever be grateful for Dr. Walters and will continue to go to her for any and all injuries. Please give her a try, I did not think anything besides surgery would help but this has been absolutely amazing.

6 weeks into my 12 week half marathon training plan I started to have incredible hip pain while running. I couldn't complete a 1/4 mile without stopping. On the suggestion of my wife I very skeptically went to see Dr. Walters. After just one treatment I was running the next day WITHOUT pain! I would not have believed it if it didn't happen to me. Two weeks after my treatment I placed second in my age group in a 10 mile race. Looking forward to the half marathon in a few more weeks. Thank you Dr. Walters!

Absolutely amazing place. Can’t say enough good things about them. They’ve treated me for so many issues and I never leave disappointed. My pain is always gone! Dr. Walters is a wealth of knowledge and expertise and takes as much time with me as I need. You can tell she truly loves what she does and really wants to get me back to feeling like my old self. Wouldn’t go anywhere else!

Dr Walters resolved my low back pain in just three visits. She asked me a ton of questions to determine my issue and took the time to understand my pain level. If you have a recent i jury or chronic pain it is worth a visit to see if she can help.

Dr. Kristen Walters is exceptional! I am always moving and training for my health, well-being, and career. I’ve been in the health and fitness industry for over 30 years and have worked with many chiropractors, doctors, orthopedics, physical therapists, personal trainers personally and professionally. Dr. Walters’ approach to pain and injury is holistic and refreshing. She acknowledges that she needed an assessment first, then determines whether she believes she can solve the issue or would refer you to another specialist. After my initial assessment, Dr. Walters said, “I think I can help you. It will take two to three visits and I believe we can eliminate you pain.” After three visits, I am pain free! I am a raving fan of Dr. Walters because she recommends moving as much as you can. So often, doctors recommend rest. I appreciate her support of activity and movement as medicine.The office staff was excellent with appointment details, paperwork and follow up. All forms were electronic, and it was clear Dr. Walters reviewed everything prior to the appointment vs. re-asking everything on the spot like so many other doctors. I have sent family and friends to Dr. Walters and would recommend her to anyone with pain.

Dr. Walters is great! Not only was what she did helpful for my neck and shoulder, but she was very pleasant. Her follow up and bedside manor was amazing. She is very thorough in explaining what she is doing and why. In this day and age it is especially challenging to find someone who not only has the expertise but also the human aspect. She definitely has both, I would highly recommend anyone to use her services if asked.

Dr. Walters is a miracle worker! I had severe pain in my leg and my doctor wanted me to get an MRI but before insurance would approve it I had to get an x-ray. On a whim I decided to try a chiropractor first. I picked Spinal Care because they are so close to my house. I knew nothing about them. on my first visit Dr. Walters evaluated me and said she could help. Her goal is to get you better so you don’t have to keep going back every week. After two visits with her my pain was 98% gone. I could not believe it. I then let her work on my arm. I had rotator cuff surgery two years ago and could not lay on my arm. Again, two visits with her and the paid was gone. She is amazing. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone!

This place is awesome! Everything is run efficiently with the staff and getting into appointments on time. Dr. Maley got me back to health with lower back pain in no time focusing on the problem areas that I was aware of (my back) and even hip flexors. I really like the way this practice looks to get you back to full health with a focus on addressing the whole problem. I hope I am never back but glad to know they are local and able to help any time.

I first heard of the practice after a discussion with a friend of mine about a hip injury I had sustained while running and had been experiencing pain (to the point of having difficulty walking) for weeks. She recommended the practice as she had been seeing the doctors to treat a multitude of CrossFit injuries over the past few years. Prior to my appointment I had tried just about every home care remedy I could find online, including stopping running entirely for a few weeks, but had little to no relief. The staff at Spinal Care were considerate and very professional. A good amount of time was spent at my first appointment reviewing my history and diagnosing the source of the pain. I was somewhat mentally prepared for the treatment prior to my appointment, but the doctor took the time to ensure I understood what the treatment entails, recovery and when to expect improvement. At the beginning of each appointment we reviewed my symptoms, improvement and anything new. I never felt rushed and always felt heard. I’m pleased to say that after 6 weeks, I’m back to running pain free and have some tools to help prevent the pain from returning. I HIGHLY recommend the practice, especially to those who have sought alternative treatment but are still struggling.

As an older runner, I have had an injury or two and wanted someone to work with me to treat my latest injury instead of just recommending "don't run." Dr. Walters was able to pinpoint my issue and treat it with targeted therapy and fascia massage. Three weeks later, I was back out doing what I love - running! Dr. Walters is knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. She and the staff were very accommodating and made my visits a great experience. I would highly recommend her and the Spinal Care staff!

I found Dr. Kristen Walters after months of dealing with extreme low back and hip pain from an injury at the gym. The original injury left me unable to walk for a few days and severely impacted my mobility. I spent months with a previous chiropractor and was fortunately able to get back on my feet. I tried some physical therapy, but unfortunately I still had a lot of residual pain. I was discouraged and beginning to accept the fact that living with pain would be my new normal. It was clear that I needed something different.During my initial appointment, Dr. Walters examined me and explained to me the process of manipulating the muscle fascia and how that may help restore some of my mobility and reduce my pain. I'll be very honest and say that the fascia manipulation is not the most pleasant feeling, and sometimes it just downright hurts. You can certainly expect to be a little sore and bruised afterward -- but you can also expect to have some relief. I'll admit that I was a little skeptical at first, but once I saw (and felt) the results a few days after the first treatment, I was shocked at how much better I was feeling. I began seeing improvements after each visit -- I started sleeping better, I would wake up with minimal pain and stiffness, and I began to get a lot of my mobility back. After about 4 visits, I actually felt good enough to start getting back into the gym. It is definitely a process, and everyone is going to have different results -- but regardless I would still highly recommend Spinal Care to anyone in need of relief from bone and/or muscle pain.

Just WOW. After getting a quote from another chiropractor in the area that resembled a small mortgage, I was recommended to Spinal Care and Dr. Walters. I initially went in for lower back pain and hip tightness - I was amazed at how much better I felt after just ONE session. Continuing to go back for other areas that were causing mobility issues at the gym. This past week was just simply incredible… I had almost ZERO mobility in my right shoulder. Dr. Walters explained the issue, dug in, loosened the area and in one 30-minute session had restored full mobility in my shoulder. One session. If I could give 10 stars I would - she and her abilities are simply amazing.

All I can say is Awesome!!I had a lot of pain on my inner right elbow for the past several years and figured it was something I would have to deal with forever. Not The Case. My wife told me about Dr. Maley and how much she had helped her. After 4 visits totally pain free!! I would have never believed this special kinda treatment would have worked, but what do I know. Hats off to Dr. Maley and the whole team at Spinal Care. I would also like to mention Janine Borders, it was a real delight being greeted by her each morning!!

I went to Spinal Care with head and neck pain, along with frequent headaches caused from years of sitting at a desk and poor posture. Dr. Maley was able to diagnose and relieve my pain in only a few visits. She also gave me tips on how I can continue my care at home with a few exercises. I would recommend Spinal Care to anyone looking for a good chiropractor.

Dr. Walters was able to pinpoint our son's specific injury, and then treat it with targeted therapies. We have no doubt that he is returning to baseball weeks earlier than had we left him to follow the course of action prescribed by the orthopedist. Dr. Walters was recommended to us because of her unique specialty of accelerating recovery from muscle/skeletal injury and that is exactly what she did for our son. It also helps that she has assembled an extremely competent, accommodating and knowledgeable office staff that makes the entire visit a very pleasant experience.

I researched several practices in the area and decided to come here. I think it was one of the best decisions I have made. Dr Maley took her time to explain the where my issues were coming from and the go over the full plan to get me feeling better and pain free. She was very upfront about everything and making sure I was comfortable with all treatments. The practice is very welcoming and I would refer them to anyone looking for care.

I was recently treated by both Dr. Maley and Dr. Walters. Both Doctors did a phenomenal job alleviating my pain and returning my mobility to normal.Throughout the years I have undergone treatment by more traditional chiropractors, which only ever provided temporary. Spinal Care explained that treating the muscle will be the best course of treatment for me, they were right! If you are experiencing back pain or limited mobility from side-to-side (as I was), I recommend you give Spinal Care a shot.In addition to such good patient care, both Doctors have such wonderful personalities, I never felt "unheard" or rushed through an appointment. The level of friendliness far exceeded my expectations, making my visit all the more pleasant.Go see them and get yourself fixed up!

I cannot recommend Spinal Care Chiropractic and Rehabilitation and the services of Dr. Walters, more highly. I suffered from postpartum back pain for 18 months prior to visiting Dr. Walkers. Within 6 visits, my pain resided. Dr. Walters is thorough. She taught me about my issue, and talked me through the treatment process. She is kind, courteous, and extremely professional. I felt welcomed, valued, and well treated. Should I have future ailments, I will certainly utilize Spinal Care Chiropractic and Rehabilitation. I cannot thank Dr. Walters and her team enough for giving me the ability to live without pain.

I cannot begin to express my satisfaction with the staff at Spinal Care. The entire staff was courteous, professional, and made my visit as comfortable as they possibly could. Dr. Malley and Dr. Walters both helped me return to the competition floor after 2 shoulder surgery. I couldn't be happier with the ROM and strength I was gaining back after 6 months post-surgery.

I only needed five sessions to make the progress and stop. I was looking for a effective limited term treatment and that is what I received. Thank you.

My experience at Spinal Care was amazing! Certainly not your average chiropractic care. Dr. Maley was very thorough and listened carefully about the issues I was having with my neck.

Dr. Walters is truly wonderful. I have gone to see her for a number of different physical issues. Each time she did a very thorough and attentive assessment of the pain and what might be causing it and then she got to work alleviating the pain right away. The results speak for themselves. I recently went to see her because I was having hip pain that had been persisting for months. I saw her three times and by the third time the pain was completely alleviated. And this is indicative of how all of my visits with her have gone. I keep going back whenever knew pain arises because I know I can trust her to take care of it.She does a fantastic job of engaging me and making me feel comfortable and at ease during all of my visits. I really enjoy going to see her, which I cannot say for any other healthcare professional that I have ever seen. She really cares about her patients and takes the time to get to know them and it makes a huge difference. I cannot say enough great things about her and her practice. I feel very at ease knowing I have her to go to.

I have been dealing with a hamstring pull for almost a year. I've been evaluated by Sports Medicine, had a non eventful MRI and 8 weeks of Physical Therapy and there was no improvement. I'm a tennis player and had to give it up for months. I returned to Dr. Walters and experienced myofascial release procedures. This was the breakthrough. I returned for another "release" and just recently followed up with a therapeutic massage with Mallory at Spinal Care. This has been life altering. I'm about 90% improved. I will return and hope for 100% recovery. Dr. Walters is thoughtful and caring; she listens and tries to tailor her treatment considering your symptoms. I really cannot say enough for Dr. Walters and her staff.

I started going to Dr Walters over 3 years ago after a car accident that caused 3 herniated disks in my lower back. She help elevate my pain and I was able to strengthen the muscle and to avoid having a spinal fusion and get back to my active life and back to the gym. Fast forward 2 years unfortunately I hurt my hip working out and essential needed reconstruction surgery that was unavoidable. So naturally though my rehabilitations I went back to Dr Walters to help with the pain an muscle issues that came with my injury. I can’t say enough good things about the knowledge she has, the time she spends with you and her ability to help you. But more importantly she is kind and caring. That also goes for the staff and the massage therapists who are all amazing. With their help I was able to run my fist half marathon 14 months post hip reconstruction surgery. I continue to see Dr Walters on an as needed bases because I continue to push my body to achieve goals that I would have never imagine without her help elevating my pain.

A friend of mine recommended Dr. Walters and Dr. Maley after I suffered a severe muscle strain. I never would have thought to have gone to a chiropractor practice for treatment, but my buddy had the same injury and swore by both Dr.’s there so I gave them a call. I was very fortunate for them to get me in the day after my injury. This was my first experience with a chiropractor so I was not exactly sure what to expect, especially with just a muscle strain. I have since seen both Dr.’s and both are incredibly knowledgeable and very professional. They focus on getting you back to 100% and only want to see you as much as they have to in order for that to happen. No unnecessary appointments which is really great. They also follow up with you to see how you’re feeling and how progress is going. After 3 visits I am now back to normal, where I could have been out of commission for a lot longer. I will DEFINITELY be back for any adjustments I think I may need or future injuries I suffer. They also offer a deep tissue massage service that I fully plan on taking advantage of and the cost is very reasonable. I would highly recommend this for any pain and suffering you may have due to strains or if you need any adjustments. I can only speak from my experience and my severe strain, but I will warn you that the visits can be painful from the pressure and massaging that is needed. However, I would much rather have that than be prescribed pain pills and to just wait out the healing process. This was short term pain for long term effectiveness and functionality. As I said above, after one visit a week for 3 weeks I am back to working out strenuously almost everyday like nothing happened. Thank you Dr. Walters and Dr. Maley!

Before I went to Spinal Care I had crippling back and hip pain. As an exercise enthusiast this was physically and psychologically devastating! But upon meeting Dr Kristin Walters and continuing to receive her excellent care, I am now able to exercise, and do my day to day high energy activities pain free! She,and her staff, are friendly, patient, and extremely caring!! I can't praise or thank them enough!!

I have visited Dr. Walters for two different issues related to athletic injuries over the past couple years and I am extremely grateful that she was recommended to me. She spent ample time to thoroughly assess my condition and to identify the root cause of the issues. Her goal was to provide a permanent solution through fascia release and deep tissue work, not to keep me coming back for routine adjustments. I've also visited the practice for two deep tissue massages that were very beneficial. I cannot say enough positive words about Spinal Care and will always look to Dr. Walters first if I'm ever dealing with chronic discomfort again.

This was my first experience with a chiropractor, and I wasn't really sure what to expect. Overall, I thought everyone was very professional, and I appreciated the thoroughness of all of the answers they gave me to the questions I had regarding my neck pain. It was evident that they are passionate about their treatment plans and truly believe in what they do. After 3 visits, I noticed a considerable increase in my range of motion and my pain was alleviated. Based on my experience I would definitely recommend Spinal Care Chiropractic.

Very different from most Chiropractors and in a good way. While she is always glad to see you, Dr Walters goal is to make you well and not see you often. Generally, it takes one or two visits to resolve an issue. I have been going to Dr Walters as needed for years. Even though I have moved from the area, if I have a stiff neck or other issue, I travel over an hour to go to her. She's that good!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Walters, Dr. Maley, and their team at Spinal Care Chiropractic. I have been treated by both doctors for shoulder and knee pain. They take the time to ask questions and fully understand the issue they’ll be treating, and I’m always surprised by how much better I feel after just one session. In addition to their care, they have the friendliest staff of any doctor’s office I’ve been to. Everyone in their office makes an effort to know you and is committed to getting you pain free as soon as possible. I highly recommend Spinal Care Chiropractic if you’re experiencing pain or discomfort!

A year and a half after having 2 total knee replacements, I was lost. My knees were quickly locking after walking short distances. It felt like there was a vice grip that tightened as I moved. As someone who regularly walks 10,000 steps per day, I was anxious to get back to my usual level of activity. Two knee surgeons and the doctors at my primary care office had no ideas for me. I felt unheard and very frustrated.From my first contact with Spinal Care, I felt cared for. Dr. Walters listened to my description of symptoms, carefully examined my legs, and tested my abilities. She explained, every step along the way, how we would proceed to get some of my mobility back; we hoped for a 60% improvement. At this point, I feel well over 90% improvement!At each session, I feel that I am receiving 100% attention and care. Dr. Walters is extremely empathetic and knowledgeable. After about 4 treatments, I was able to go back to hiking. Today I am able to do daily yoga and walk and hike long distances. I have received approximately 8 treatments and I am so grateful for the progress we have made. We schedule and proceed as a team with Dr. Walters checking in on my progress along the way.The support office is also wonderful and extremely responsive.I highly recommend and commend Spinal Care.

Incredibly friendly staff and docs!! I'm amazed at how quickly I felt relief from Dr. Walsh's work on my shoulder. I appreciate that the work is focused on the muscles and not just an adjustment and that you have homework too to help with recovery! Outstanding care!

Dr.Maley was excellent! Took the time to ask questions about my injury. She really personalizes her care. Every patient is an individual and requires different care. She is very clear what she is going to do and what you can expect. She is very professional and sincere. I would highly recommend her!

I’ve been to several different chiropractors, and the treatment at Spinal Care was by far the best I’ve ever received. Dr. Maley’s unique treatment style helped speed up my recovery process tremendously. She was extremely kind, knowledgeable, helpful, and always treated me with respect. She also gives you tips and exercises to do on your own to help with recovery and prevent future injuries. I highly recommend her and the facility. Worth every penny!

I have been treated by Dr Walters for the past 2 years for a nagging back issue causing significant discomfort and reduced range of motion. Through her diligent care I was able to make a full recovery and was able to train for and complete a triathlon this summer. Dr. Walters and her team are very professional and offer a level of care that is exceptional. I would recommend the team at Spinal Care to anyone experiencing pain and discomfort that is preventing you from living your best life.

I went to Spinal Care after an IT band injury was causing additional issues with my knee. Dr Maley provided deep pressure treatments and home care recommendations to relieve it. I can enjoy my active interests without tightness or pain again. I recommend Spinal Care, they're professional and personable and provide results!

I saw Dr. Maley for neck and back pain. I was very happy with my experience with Spinal Care Chiropractic and Rehabilitation. The office is very clean, the staff are friendly, and Dr. Maley is great! The treatment helped tremendously and worked quickly. I have been to other chiropractors in the past, but this was by far the best experience I have had.

Amazing!! Been to numerous chiropractors over the years. Lead to believe that my issues would require regular treatment. The possibility of ending chiropractic care was never an option with them. Not Spinal Care. Their goal is to fix you so that you won’t need to come back. After several months of treatment, no need for care for over a year!!!

Great job!! I highly recommend!! I lived for three years with worsening hip pain from an injury and finally decided to do something about it. I actually feel like I'm 10 years younger. Why did I wait so long? Their methods of working the muscles with deep massages was the best.Dr. Walters was so attentive and knowledgeable and got right to the issues and explained everything she was doing. Staff was awesome to work with. Thank you all so much.

Magician! Dr. K. Walters is nothing less.One visit for my leg issue that plagued me for at least 3 weeks and I wasn't cured but was so much better! Dr. Walters is obviously very knowledgeable based on how quickly she got my issue figured out/ treated. She also sees some Eagles players for care so I suspect her reputations pretty darn good. I work in a hospital setting so was inclined to go to my family doc who would likely send me to an orthopedic doc who would send me for a CT or MRI. Then recommend PT or surgery? Instead, I went with Spinal Care as I remember they were quick to help me about 10yrs. ago for 2 other issues. Glad I followed this path!

At my first visit to Spinal Care, I wasn't sure what to expect. When I think "chiropractor", I think back cracking and adjustments. Karen Maley focused mainly on the muscles, which was the root of most of my problems. After my FIRST VISIT, my pain was immediately cut in half! I've had 5 sessions, which brought my chronic pain from a 6-7 to a 0-1. The staff at Spinal Care are kind, helpful and knowledgeable. I can't recommend them enough. Thanks again, Karen for giving me my life back!

I visited Dr. Maley 2 weeks before a half marathon with injuries incurred during training. She got me back and running without pain in time for the race, and in the process showed me techniques I can use to stay healthy going forward.

for 10 years, I have tried many different treatments to fix a shoulder issue. I was resigned to just working through the injury and resting and repeat. A friend recommended Dr Walters and after 5 treatments with her, I have no pain, better stability and greater ROM. I will never ever go to anyone else my injuries. She's the BEST!

Dr. Walters is not your normal chiropractor, while she sees patients of all shapes, ages and sizes she specializes in CrossFit athletes. I went in with severe lower back issues and after three session came out a new invigorated person. She trained in other states specifically for a unique method and it helps tremendously. Can't say enough good things. This stuff works, several of my gym members go to her.
