This review comes from someone who could hardly walk for more than an hour due to excruciating back…read morepain, spent most of their time bedridden, and now confidently performs three working sets of 10-12 squats with a 225 lbs barbell. When severe pain in my back and left hip started, I thought it would somehow go away on its own. But a month later, I realized things were only getting worse. My toes and ankle started to feel numb, and I was diagnosed with two herniated discs and two protrusions. I decided to try everything but surgery: ultrasound, decompressions, massages, medication treatment, physiotherapy, and a chiropractor I found online. Almost 12 months of such treatments brought little improvement, until a friend told me about Dr. Doan, who had once helped her with her problem. Despite my desperation and being on the verge of opting for surgery, I decided to visit Dr. Doan. In the very first session, I was amazed by Dr. Doan's knowledge and practical experience. He laid everything out clearly, explaining that the problem was not just the injury but also my lifestyle, the way I slept, and my diet. He emphasized that such issues need a holistic approach and assured me that with time, things would normalize. We started the treatment, and I followed all his advice. It's important to mention that besides chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Doan also performed massage sessions, which miraculously showed results the next day. Within a few months, I felt much better, started walking effortlessly, and was eager to begin exercising. But Dr. Doan advised me against it, explaining that feeling better didn't mean my body was ready for workouts yet. Half a year later, I feel fantastic and strong. I am free from pain and continue to follow the advice on how to sleep, sit, walk and how to be aware of my body is not liking something. Frankly, these recommendations have greatly improved my life! To anyone looking for a professional who can genuinely solve your problem - Dr. Doan is the MAN! Thank you for helping me regain my strength, play with my child, and enjoy life to its fullest!

OK guys! This is my modest and amazing chiro, who over the years has only needed word of mouth…read morereferals... and still does. But, I wanted to give him the review he genuinely deserves, but couldn't, cause I'm not on Facebook. Booo! Here it goes... If you want a personalized, detail-oriented, professional, down to earth chiropractor, who is current and researches everything he needs about your individual needs, this is the chiropractor for you!! Hey, look! I went out of my way to create a "Yelp" account for him because I'm so grateful. Wouldn't do that for anyone! This is your doctor! p.s. I am in no way related to Dr. Doan. Strictly a patient review! :D

Dr. Stakes and his loyal staff are friendly and really take the time to get to the root of the problem for each individual patient. I hurt my neck during SXSW (long story... just don't carry a super heavy purse around for 12 hours) and came to see Doug Stakes on a recommendation from a coworker, not knowing what to expect. I can honestly say now, I would never go anywhere else in Austin (or Texas for that matter) for chiropractic care. His methods are gentle, yet extremely effective. And they make sense. Dr. Stakes also helped alleviate my allergies, and help me figure out how to properly adjust the driver's seat in my car and my chair at work, to help me work towards getting to the root of what was happening with my neck. I feel so much better and am totally convinced that chiropractic with Doug Stakes is completely effective.

Dr. Sanders is the BEST Chiropractor I've ever been to & I have been seeing chiropractors for over 30 years, I highly recommend him. He is extremely knowledgeable outside the scope of chiropractic work and uses many different modalities (all natural methods) to suit your specific needs. If you don't like being "cracked", he is great, he has ways of adjusting you without "cracking" you. He always listens to what my concerns are ad what I have going on to see how he can best meet my needs each visit. He is gentle, which is great with sensitive nervous systems. He is on time and pretty easy to get in to see. His office is always clean and Leila (front desk assistant) is very polite and professional.

Oh my goodness...it hurts so good!…read more I have a textbook Love/Hate relationship with Dr Pain...er uh Dr Vacula... Love - she's helping me get all healed up. Hate - the process hurts, but no pain no gain. Love - she incorporates myofascial work with chiropractic adjustments. Hate - it flipping hurts, but again...no pain no gain. Dr Vacula is without a doubt the best chiropractor I have ever been to. My initial exam was the most comprehensive I have received from ANY health care professional. Within minutes, she diagnosed my actual complaint. All other doctors had missed the root of my pain, but Dr Vacula was able to identify and plan an appropriate course of treatment immediately. By incorporating myofascial work with regular chiropractic care, she brought my pain level down significantly. She is highly approachable and extremely friendly. Her empathy and sensitivity to her patients needs are why she excels at her profession. Her demeanor is highly professional, yet after a visit I feel as if I just spent some time hanging out with a friend. ...and to be honest...I kinda like the pain...

Her comprehensive first visit and excellent adjustment and myofacial work left me feeling like a million bucks. I'm not even kidding. Her office is clean with plenty of parking and a great location just off Mopac. She's organized, on time, has excellent bedside manner and keeps detailed records. Her skills and knowledge blew me away and I was completely satisfied. I have been back four times since my initial visit and I've never felt better. Turns out the pain I was experiencing was completely fixable. I'm eternally grateful for Dr. V and her wizardly powers!

I was amazed afterwards - it felt like was given a new body magically. I could feel an immediate impact on increased mobility and less pain. I highly recommend making an appointment with Dr Nick.

He got me back to lifting weights how I wanted to, walking around confidently with much better posture, and got rid of all my headaches with adjustments from a single session.

Her office is located in an old downtown house, and massage therapists rent the other rooms. The atmosphere is calming, soothing, and very professional. There is no cold lobby, no little kids to step over - worth an extra star in my book. I'm always greeted warmly and walked back to the her treatment room. My specific complaints ranged from the common to the personal, but most importantly, she's been successfully treating my migraine headaches, minor depression, and menstrual cramps. My reliance on Imitrex and other migraine drugs has decreased 95% since starting treatment -- I've had only featherweight migraines, mere wisps of the former pain and terror. I think much of this had been a result of the spinal adjustments. She doesn't take x-rays in her office (maybe she could, I'm not sure), so the cost of an initial consultation is much less than in some sleazy shopping outlet Chiro insurance scam joint. And that's the big difference. She genuinely cares about my long-term health, and sessions are designed to address both chronic and acute complaints. The best part? There's no pain. Ok, sure, the needles sting a little bit when they first get placed, but it's no worse than stabbing yourself while sewing or plucking eyebrow hairs. Actually, it hurts less than that. She's got delicate but strong hands, because once the needles get removed (after about 20 minutes), she's able to get my neck bones back into their happy, rightful place. I feel like I've had a workout, but the very best kind. Her prices are fantastic, she doesn't sucker anyone into paying for more treatments than they need (or want), and she has a good office schedule. She might not be the right person for everyone, but if you're considering treatment for pains, physical or emotional, I highly recommend at least an initial meeting with Dr. Chow-Bui.

Doris is one of the few chiropractors I've found in Austin who does more than the typical 5 minute…read moreadjustment for her patients. Rather than just follow a treatment plan that is merely designed to meet a business plan (get as many patients in and out as possible in a day to make the most money possible) she takes plenty of time with each patient to make sure you get the most from your treatment. It's nice to have a chiropractor who does acupuncture, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, and other supportive therapies before you get adjusted. I find I get more out of my treatments and that the adjustments seem to "stick" better that way. So, if you're looking for a D.C. who takes their time and makes sure you get thorough care, go see Dr. Doris.
