I'm so glad that Dr. Forrest is my chiropractor. He saw me through some physical therapy and gave car accident support. That was such a blessing. Now I see him for my "tune ups." I seem to always do something stupid: sleep funny, tweak my back, or something else idiotic. A tune up is just what I need to help me out. Plus, it's never a quick in-and-out (crack-go home!). Also, it's not always an adjustment. Sometimes what my body can handle is some Graston and soft tissue work. This is the first chiropractor I've encountered who is willing to move away from adjustments to help with patient healing. I always leave feeling better. Finally, Dr. Forrest provides information to explain what he sees going on with my body and what he is doing. I am educated about things. Every time I leave, my body feels better, I understand how the treatment focused on my issue/s, and follow up advice of exercises or stretching to do on my own at home is clear. Dr. Forrest deserves more than 5 stars! read more

Brian is incredible and truly understands his craft. Yes, "craft". He takes the time to understand your specific needs and applies the appropriate techniques to solve your issue. No pressure just solutions. Absolutely recommend!! read more

I was suffering from severe, recurring tension headaches. Like getting a headache almost daily for over a month, until I finally searched for a chiropractor to help identify and treat the root cause instead of the symptoms. After reading reviews of several highly rated chiropractors on Yelp, I chose Brian because of his sports background and holistic approach. In just 3 sessions, Brian was able to release all the shoulder & neck tension that was causing my headaches. I was cured! And they haven't come back in months! I loved how he also gave me exercises to do at home to help avoid it coming back. read more

Choosing a new chiropractor can be dicey as picking the wrong one can cause you a lot more pain rather than putting you on the road to healing. After carefully reading through the reviews, I decided to give Dr. Forrest a try. Located conveniently off of Hwy 183, the office is in a quiet building but easy to find and with plenty of room for parking. Dr. Forrest is very friendly and easy going and does a great job of explaining his modalities and takes time to get to know your body status and what kinds of aches and pains you've had and are currently having. His treatment philosophy is very straightforward and focused on making progress. I appreciate his approach to spend less time on taking X-rays (we didn't do any) and actually digging in to figure out what's going on with your body. He gives you some practical advice and some ideas on helping yourself heal after you are leave the office. I have received a lot of relief already from his treatments. Highly recommended. read more

I am so pleased to have found Dr. Forrest! I have had a lot of experience with quite a few chiropractors over the years, and he is among the best! Some just want to crack your back and get to the next patient. Others like to promote their "methods" or supplements or "treatment subscriptions." Dr. Forrest hasn't done any of that and I have never felt pressured to even make a follow-up appointment, if I haven't felt like I needed one immediately. Dr. Forrest is thorough with his questions and screening process. He uses many different methods--stretching, soft-tissue work, and more to get great results. I appreciate how much education and information he gives at each appointment. Additionally, he provides stretches and daily maintenance exercises that I can work (proactively) on getting what I need to feel better between appointments. I would highly recommend Dr. Forrest, based on my experience thus far. read more

I have had numerous surgeries leaving me in an very uncomfortable state. I found him because of my mom and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself! I have mobility that I haven't had in over 3 years, I work on things as they come up, and taking care of my body the right way before anything does happen. I tell everyone about Brian and tell everyone to go see him. Grateful for his patience and care! read more

Dr. Forrest is great and incredibly knowledgeable! He treats very holistically and incorporates whatever modalities he can to help you achieve the results you're hoping for, and he always has reasoning and evidence behind the treatments he suggests. I came in originally for TMJ/jaw pain, but over time ended up also working on back/shoulder issues and mobility improvement. Highly recommend! read more

I started going to Dr. Forrest because I was having pain on my lower back and the side of my hip. Every session I have had with him I have felt the care through his work and not to mention, have felt more and more relief. He is very knowledgeable and walks me through every step of the way as he thoroughly explains what is happening. Not only does he address the areas of pain, but while he's doing it, he makes sure one feels comfortable beforehand. He also teaches you specific techniques for you to do at home so you can continue to get better. I'm so thankful to have found Dr. Forrest and would highly recommend him to anyone looking to be treated with care and individually. Know that you're in good hands! read more

I can not share a more positive experience! I woke one day to the WORST pinched nerve in my back. For days could not get any kind of relief! Searched for the closest chiro near me and HEAVEN sent Brian! He saw me the very next day! When I say INSTANT RELIEF I mean it! He's extremely knowledgeable and so kind! I sent a mass text to all family and friends to recommend! When it comes to your back you want someone you can TRUST! Thank you again Brian! read more

I have been a patient of Dr Forrest for many years. In fact, I followed him to his own practice from another practice. I would recommend him, and I do often, for anyone having pain in their body. He is extremely patient with you and he wants to understand what he needs to treat without rushing you out of his office. Additionally, he has given me exercises to do, that help build the components of minimizing pain by strengthening key areas. I play golf and it's hard on your back. Dr Forrest has enabled me to get my swing speed back up and I love playing again. If Dr Forrest lived out of state I would come see him. read more

I started going to Dr. Forrest in April of this year after being laid up from a surgery. I had developed some back issues from being sedentary for so long. Upon my first visit I was excited to see that he had a different approach to the chiropractic business that included some PT. I had never been to a chiropractor before this and I had always just viewed the practice as getting your back cracked. I can happily say that my visits with Dr. Forrest are so much more than that. He really listens to the issues and finds creative ways to help with the problem. The stretching techniques that he suggests really have helped immensely and are necessary in between visits. He always fits me in even if it's short notice. I can't say enough nice things about Dr. Forrest and the way he runs his business. I highly recommend his services and I never would have been on the road to recovery as quickly as I have without him. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Forrest for a few years now - he helped me through my first pregnancy. I think his work very much contributed to helping me gain the best mobility leading up to labor! His practice is unique - he not only addresses/alleviates the initial pain but he teaches you rehab/PT techniques to keep you on top of your health at home. He's very patient and thorough. I'm so thankful for his practice and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a well rounded experience! read more

I have seen Dr. Forrest for multiple back issues over the years, and every time I leave feeling much better. He is very knowledgeable, patient, and has a wealth of good advice. Many members of my family have also been successfully treated by Dr. Forrest, and would choose to see him again in the future. I would absolutely recommend choosing this chiropractor! read more

Great attitude, upbeat, and attentive. I have been seeing Dr. Brian Forrest for the past 10 months. His knowledge base is deep and accessable. He takes the time to get to know you, and addresses any concerns or issues you may have as an ongoing part of his care. He offers empathetic support and guidance with stretches/exercises for doing at home and help modifying activities. Dr. Forrest is a great listener and an enthusiastic caregiver. He constantly screens for problems and modifies as needed. He is kind, compassionate and personable. My story is I have fibromyalgia, which is a chronic pain condition. I am fiercely protective and respectful of my body. I listen to it and work with my caregivers. Dr. Forrest is a pleasure to work with... critical for any type of care, and a requirement for chronic issues. He is a godsend for keeping keep me mobile and living a good life. My fibromyalgia isn't negatively impacting my daily life as it did before, and my quality of life has skyrocketed up. Thank you, Dr. Forrest and associates! The massage therapists know their stuff. They are aware and knowledgeable of fibromyalgia and adjust accordingly. I find the massage helps tremendously with adjusting and retaining those adjustments. Great front desk people too! (Amber is a peach!) Sympathetic and cheerful. They work with you to fit your schedule. They make dealing with insurance and benefits easy. The whole staff is supportive and caring and I absolutely love going to my appointments. The facility has everything available right there. There is a lovely play area for children and a massage chair to enjoy. Good hours for working folk. Highly recommended. read more

I love Dr. Forrest... and really the entire practice. My husband and I are still mourning the fact that we moved back to California and now need to find a new chiropractor. We should have stayed in Austin just for Brian and Simon (and the whole fantastic staff!) They have a holistic way of looking at your issues and helping you. Not only adjustments, but massage and physical therapy. They show you techniques you can do at home to really help you. They really care and are not after your money like most places. My husband has really bad back, knee, and neck problems since childhood and it basically went away because of Brian and Simon. I have plantar fasciitis and it's gotten a lot better! We've since tried 3 different chiropractors and no one compares. We are afraid that our bar is set too high. Is there a chance you'll move to California? read more

Friendly and detail oriented. Doc pays attention to what problems I have. My neck and shoulder felt better immediately after. Thanks and continue coming back. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Forrest since early this year. I was having really bad shoulder pain. Pain when I lifted things at home, pain when I walked my dogs, pain when I slept, pain when I worked out, etc. I shopped around for chiropractic therapy up north for a while and was really unhappy with the doctors I ran into. I felt like I was spending lots of money and not feeling any better. Dr. Forrest was genuinely like a breath of fresh air. His approach is very scientific, but also incredibly nurturing. He really cares about his patients, and he takes more of a comprehensive approach to solving your problems (leveraging tactics like soft tissue massage, Graston, physical therapy, etc.). He will not make you feel uncomfortable. He takes a lot of care in explaining things to you. And he's a doctor who truly listens. Happy to say, I don't even really remember the pain I originally came in for because it's gone. I will continue to see Dr. Forrest for maintenance and highly recommend him and the larger practice if you are looking for the best in chiropractic care. read more

Injured my lower back working out. So glad I found Brian Forrest Chiropractic. In the very first session I felt comfortable to push my body. It is a breath of fresh air to get work on my body performed by someone with a sports background, so he truly understands what changes us older athletes go through. His team is amazing and I will now make them a permanent part of my body care routine. I highly recommend this place. read more

Dr. Forrest does a great job. His care is fantastic. He spends a ton of time with you addressing the issue and explaining in great detail. Wonderful practitioner. I always walk out of an appointment feeling better and on my way to recovery. read more

Dr. Forrest is LITERALLY the best in all of Austin!!! He's super knowledgeable and supppppper kind! His staff is so amazing as well! The front ladies are so so sooooo sweet and the two massage therapist are so great!! They treat you like real people and actually care for you. I don't think I can praise this team enough on here because words just don't do justice. I got into a pretty nasty car accident in December and messed up my back pretty darn bad. I wasn't able to walk correctly or even stand for more than 20 minutes.... which is a real nightmare when you work in a kitchen. But I've been coming to see Dr. Forrest religiously since my accident and I feel like a million freaking bucks!! I feel even better than when I started and I was in great condition before. If you're looking for a chiropractor, Forrest is def your man. You will not regret it and if you do, you are craaaazzzzyyyyyy!!! Thank you so much team for being so great! You guys deserve all the praise in the world! read more

Dr. Forrest is the absolute best! He really takes his time with each patient and devises a plan to get them back to a pain-free state. I really appreciate that he not only does chiropractic adjustments but also does muscular and soft tissue work. He really provides a complete and holistic approach to wellness. He's the best. read more

I've been going to Dr. Forrest for years and I can confidently say, no other chiropractor compares! I've come in for both routine chiropractic care and for rehabilitating sports injuries, and I always appreciate how individually-attuned his focus is and how knowledgeable he is about how the body functions in movement, helping me understand how injury occurs and how to prevent it. I like how he blends soft tissue work with chiropractic alignment, and I like the unique exercises he gives me for rehab. I always come away with a greater understanding of how to support my joints through exercise, and he provides so much relief to some chronic pain and soreness I've had over the years. I can't recommend Dr. Forrest enough! read more

I highly recommend Dr Forrest to anyone who needs help. I was so skeptical about chiropractors because of all the videos online but he is none of that. He helped me recover from pain with muscles work, adjustments and exercises. My lifestyle and routine has totally changed positively thanks to Dr Forrest read more

Dr Forrest puts the "Ah" in Ahhhmazing! He came highly recommended from 7+ people and I'm so glad I made an appointment! I was nervous about going to a chiropractor forever but he truly knows his stuff. Not only did he bring me relief but he also gives knowledge to carry with you after the appointment and take into your everyday life. It's been such a great experience. Make the appointment! If you've got even the slightest question about it, just stop what youre doing and call his office! You won't be disappointed.!! read more

I first came to Forrest Chiropractic on the recommendation of a friend for my lower back pain. Having a job where I sat and hardly moved all day really caused me a lot of pain. Through adjustments, functional movements, and stretches, I was able to work through the causes of the pain and make little changes to my daily routine to help keep the pain from coming back. Dr. Forrest answered all the questions I had, explained why certain exercises/stretches were important and what they did, and really cared about my recovery. I would highly recommend him. read more

I found Dr. Forrest after moving to Austin recently. I called to check to see if they accepted my insurance because it was hard to use my insurance provider locator to find them - you know how those searches can be. When I called, the front office staff was super friendly, checked my insurance for me, and scheduled an appointment within the week. At my appointment, Dr. Forrest took his time listening to what brought me in, completed a thorough evaluation, and explained everything he found during the evaluation. He gave me a step by step understanding of what he thought would be a good treatment plan. Upon agreement of a treatment plan, Dr. Forrest adjusted my neck and back. He explained what he was doing throughout the adjustment, making sure I breathed properly, and let me know what I could expect after the adjustment, like soreness. The wait for appointment times isn't long at all, the staff is always friendly and properly prepared to help me get my account taken care of right away. My appointments usually consist of seeing a massage therapist for a deep tissue massage to loosen up my neck (heavenly!), the adjustment with Dr. Forrest, and then he sends me home with great exercises to focus on that I can do without aggravating my back and modifications to adjust depending on my skill level. He's given me fantastic core strengthening exercises as well as a variety of neck and shoulder stretches. Every appointment has been as great as the first and I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable chiropractor who listens and tailors a treatment plan specific to you and your needs! read more

I went to Dr. Forrest about 4 weeks ago barely able to walk due to extreme low back pain. While I've suffered from this pain for years, this particular flare-up was so excruciating that I decided to (finally!) seek professional help and I am SO HAPPY I've found Dr. Forrest. With regular visits for adjustments, recent soft tissue work, and the exercises he is teaching me in order to prevent this sort of flare-up again in the future, my back feels better than it has in YEARS. He is friendly, patient, and kind and works tirelessly to ensure that I understand the entire process. His front desk staff is pleasant and easy to work with, and Julio, one of the massage therapists, is exceptional at what he does. I would highly recommend Dr. Forrest without reservations! read more

My husband and I can't thank Dr. Brian Forrest and his team enough for relieving us of our work stress induced tension and pain. Every time we have come in for therapy and a professional adjustment, we leave walking with a straighter posture and positive energy. Thank you Austin Chiropractic Associates for making us feel better! For anyone needing physical therapy from an injury or simply work related induced stress/tension, we highly recommend Dr. Brian Forrest and his team! read more

Seriously, Dr. Forrest is the best. I came in because I had thrown my back out AGAIN and he helped me not only relieve the pain I was constantly having but also build up strength so I don't have pain anymore! They use a combination of chiropractic adjustment, soft tissue massage, and physical therapy - it really is the best combination. I have been to other chiropractors and, separately, massage therapists but combining those with physical therapy has really helped keep me to feel good long term! Can't recommend them enough! read more

I,'ve been seeing Dr. Forrest since 2012. He knows what he is doing. His staff is also great and respectful. Keep up the good work.

I met Dr. Forrest a few years ago when he was assisting Dr. White. I continued with him after he struck out on his own when Dr. White retired and I don't regret it. He likes to explain what he's doing and prefers very gradual, gentle adjustments. He listens to his patients and gives exercises to do on your own, as he's all about getting you better. I highly recommend! read more

Brian Forrest fixed my herniating disk problem in the span of one month. It was the first in my life, and I came to him in terrible condition - walking, sitting and functioning with great difficulty. He used specialized mechanical equipment to begin to turn my situation around, and gave me salutary chiropractic exercises to perform at home and office. As I began to get better he added massages (by professionals, at his office), chiropractic manipulations and further exercises targeting my disk issue and its surrounding muscles. I improved quickly under his care and tutorship, and now am completely healed - note that I do need to continue using the exercises he gave me, in order to not relapse, but otherwise I am completely back to normal. Brian was not stingy with his time: each consultation with him exceeded 30 minutes, easily. And the charges were reasonable - indeed I worried they were too low, with all the overhead a medical office entails (front desk, billing, facility, medical/therapy machines, etc.). And while it cost me a pretty penny to get treated for this ailment, treatment by a MD would have cost considerably more and/or would have accomplished considerably less. Nevertheless, Brian explained that if the back issue turned out to be a grave injury requiring medical intervention, he would promptly connect me with doctors who could provide the intervention - which as it turned out, never became necessary. Brian explained matters in great detail. He wanted to make sure I, the patient, were as informed as possible about everything: the condition, the remedy, the exercises, the reactions of the body to all these, etc. I paid close attention as he explained things or answered my questions, as this was all very useful and helpful information that I needed to hear and understand, for my own benefit. Thus I highly recommend Brian Forrest for back problems. read more

I came to Dr. Brian while visiting Austin, TX. His experience, understanding and knowledge of the human body. Allowed me to relax and feel as though i was in good hands. I had been dealing with extreme discomfort and pain in my left hip, shoulders and lower back for a very long time. Dealing with this type of discomfort and pain made normal things like walking, sitting, or working out an issue. I had been to many chiropractors, taking x-rays, and seen specialist. Looking to gain some relief or understanding if this was how i was meant to spend the rest of my life. Dr. Brian was able to use a combination of chiropractic care, physical therapy and various exercises to provide me relief for the first time in over 3 years. In addition, Dr. Brian took the time to explain what I should work on at home, to prevent issues in the future and to continue improving my mobility. Thank you again Dr. Brian!! read more

Nice doctors, and convenient hours and location. Helped me recover after hurting my back. The desk staff are very nice and helpful.

I have seen Dr. Forrest many times for adjustments, and I have never left unsatisfied. He has always been kind and friendly. He is always very informative and proves to be very knowledgable. He always explains what's going on with my back and neck and offers ways to help alleviate discomfort and pain. read more

I suffer from a few bad discs in my lumbar area and have even had a couple surgeries. After this latest herniated disc, I started seeing Dr. Forrest and my back is feeling much better. I might not be totally healed yet, but I can tell that the combination of message therapy, adjustments, and physical therapy is really improving things. read more

Nothing but great things to say about Dr. Forrest. Real down to earth guy and really knows his stuff. Not only does he know a lot about the human anatomy but he also puts it into words that anybody can understand. He is the first chiropractor I have ever been to since struggling with lower back pain and shoulder pain over the years and I am glad I had the opportunity to visit his facility. He really goes into detail with everything he is about to do which is excellent because that way you are more prepared for what's about to happen rather than being surprised and startled. He actually performed my first adjustment EVER and i'll definitely be returning for another and to learn more from him to help maintain it myself. 5 stars Dr. Forrest! 10/10 would recommend, see you soon. read more

So I talked to Dr Forrest directly and he absolutely stands by his right to break the contract he has with insurance companies. Good to know. Other yelp reviewers would be well off to add facts such as this to help everyone else who uses the service. It does help to know the business practices of a place and how they honor what they advertise. read more
