In searching for a new chiropractor, I posted in a local Facebook group asking for recommendations. Alexis Martinez, co-owner of this practice, responded and invited me to send her a direct message. Because I do not like pricing surprises, I asked specifically about costs. Alexis told me that the initial exam is $97 and that follow-up visits typically range from $25 to $70, depending on a patient's needs. That pricing was within my budget, so I submitted an online scheduling request. The next day, I received a call from a staff member named Kelly, who explained that if you do not have x-rays taken within the past year, the initial visit requires an additional $100 for x-rays. This increased the cost of the first visit to $197. I was shocked, as that was double the price Alexis told me, and I've never been required to get x-rays to be treated by a chiropractor. However, it got worse when I learned that the initial visit does not include an adjustment. If you want to receive an adjustment during that first appointment, there is another $100 charge, bringing the total to $297. At this point, I chose not to book because this was far above what Alexis quoted me. I contacted Alexis, who apologized and said she was "mortified." She stated that her husband, who is also a co-owner, was contacting the office manager to find out what was going on. She also explained that the employee I spoke with was very new and initially indicated that I had been given incorrect information. The next day, the office manager, Kim, contacted me "to clear up any confusion." Yet, she told me that Kelly's explanation was accurate and reflects how the practice normally operates, although she stated they would honor the pricing Alexis originally provided "as a courtesy." Based on that assurance, I went ahead and scheduled my initial appointment for a couple of days later. Because I was concerned about future costs, I called back and asked what adjustments would cost after the initial visit. Kim told me that individual adjustments are $100 per visit unless you enroll in a care plan, but she would not provide even a general estimate of what those plans cost. She kept stating "it just depends on what the doctor recommends." This made me very uncomfortable and led me to read online reviews to better understand what treatment might actually cost. I'm glad I did, because multiple reviews report patients being charged over $1,000 for just one month of care. This pricing structure was dramatically different from the $25 to $70 follow-up range I was quoted directly by the co-owner, Alexis, so I attempted to reach back out to her to get clarity about pricing. I was truly hoping this was just a misunderstanding of some sort. However, I found that Alexis had "blocked" me on Facebook, so I could not directly message her. That, in addition to everything else that had transpired, made me completely lose trust in this business and I chose to cancel my appointment and seek care elsewhere. read more

I've been seeing Dr. Antonia Denison for over a year, and it's truly changed my life. She completely shifted my understanding of chiropractic care, it's not just about adjustments, but a full nervous system approach. I've seen huge improvements in my sleep, anxiety, and chronic headaches (which are now gone). My midday crashes have disappeared, and even my bra pain has improved. I didn't realize how much this kind of care could impact overall well-being until working with her. The entire team is so welcoming and genuinely cares. Even the other doctors take an interest in your care, which says a lot about the practice. And the care advocates are amazing, such a smart, talented group of women who make the whole experience feel seamless and top-notch. read more

We have been going to RCW for over a year now. We had a car accident and I didn't know what to do to help support our bodies. A friend recommend River City wellness and I've never been more thankful. My son's bodies have benefited so much - they even found issues I didn't know my sons had so we could work on correcting them. I love that there is home care and a plan to really deal with the root. I've been to a lot of chiropractors in the past but never felt like it made a long term change, but the last year has been such a different experience. We are actually seeing massive changes. The entire staff is so sweet too! They treat you like family and I'm just thankful we found them. In some ways that accident helped us become even healthier than we were before thanks to RCW. read more

I'm a new patient and I feel like things are already moving in the right direction for my health situation. I've really enjoyed the structure and process that's immediate when you make your first visit. Everyone sings to the same tune and everyone works in sync. Everything is clean and neat and tidy. Scheduling and working with the Doctors is super easy. read more

Next level. Love this place. I've been coming here with my family of six for quite awhile now. The team here does amazing work. RCW has been there to help each of us explore our unique health needs delving into far more than just another adjustment. We get regular adjustments, comprehensive exams and consultations with this provider and have never had an issue. We have also attended many of their workshops over the years and learned so much along the way. RCW also helps with home care plans, hosts workshops and talks on raising healthy kids, nutrition, mindset, exercise, and minimizing toxin exposure. read more

I saw significant improvements in my spine within 3 months of receiving care! If you are ready for life changing improvements - make sure to schedule a consultation! It's better than you can imagine! read more

River City Wellness is absolutely exceptional! My family and I had a wonderful experience since our initial call to inquire about services. Kim and Dr. Peter were extremely thorough and thoughtful in their recommendations. We felt so welcomed upon our arrival for our initial visit. Kim was exceptional in her interactions with us which helped my 3 year old feel comfortable getting her initial scan. Both Dr. Peter and Kim demonstrate a genuine desire towards wanting to help their patients and went above and beyond to provide exceptional care and follow up. I highly recommend River City Wellness! read more

These lovely humans and so kind! I haven't been in a while. And I walked in and was greeted with hugs. It's great to be back! The chiropractors and staff are top of the line amazing! read more

Sooo where do I start. Made an appt here because I have Scoliosis and chronic back issues - mostly managed with PT, massage, exercise and yoga, but thought I would give chiropractic care another try. I was a little worried because I wasn't sure what to expect at the first appt - x rays? Adjustment? How much is this going to cost??! But I got even more anxious and worried when they insisted on giving me a 'tour' of their heavily gimmicked and branded 'wellness' philosophy before I even saw a chiropractor. Now chiropractic care already has a lot to overcome in terms of there being lots of quacks out there - but this takes the cake. I felt I was entering some kind of weird millennial cult. I was waiting 40 minutes and I never even saw a doctor - and when I asked if I would be able to get treated today they couldn't give me a straight answer, but made a point of saying it was late and everyone left at 6! I rearranged my work schedule to make this appt - don't schedule at 5:15 if you can't actually do more than a mandatory 'tour.' What REALLY sent me running is the fact that NO ONE in the entire office was wearing a mask. So. I am expected to take ANY kind of health advice / info / care from an entire office NOT wearing masks? Like maybe they think their 5 essentials health model prevents Covid? Or maybe Covid doesn't exist in this office? Um, no thank you - ran like a bat out of hell out of this place. Really disappointing for a MEDICAL office to not have any staff or patients wearing masks. Gross. read more

This is my first time ever doing chiropractic work on me in my life. Dr. Cody is a member of our OTF gym, and he urged me daily to just try and get an adjustment. After caving one day and finally giving it a try, I fell in love. The business as a whole takes the best care of you and they focus on EDUCATION just as much as PERSONAL TOUCH. You aren't just walking in, getting some cracks, then leaving. They educate you and treat you personally based on what your body needs. They've helpes me self-heal a lot during this panic-ridden time of our lives and I'm very grateful! read more

Started coming here in September 2022 with lower back pain. They examined me and showed me the problems I had with my spine with X-rays. Started their treatment regimen immediately. During this time I also received injections and pain meds from my pain management doctor to ease the back pain, but it only provided temporary relief. I've been coming to River City Wellness twice a week and with Dr Shawn's adjustments the pain is almost gone. It's now almost Christmas and I've been able to stay off the pain meds for almost a week now. The staff here is excellent and makes my hour long drive from San Antonio to their Austin clinic worth it! Big shout out to Dr. Shawn, Dr. Danielle, Kim, Mary, Rachel, and Vanessa, all of you are the best, couldn't have done this without all of you. If you're in pain, this is the place to come to. They helped me and I know they can help you! read more

I love the team at River City Wellness, they are always friendly and welcoming and take the time to understand what you are going through and tailor a wellness plan specifically for your needs. It's not a cookie cutter response. They are concerned for your overall health and offer supplements and guidance to help you reach all your health goals. I highly recommend going to them first when your body is not responding as it was designed to. read more

The place is super clean, I like the intent behind the mission there & what they stand for in regards to wholistic approach to health. However, it's clear this is a volume business will sign you up on agreement for extended treatments, the costs are much too high. I went in for a very specific issue with my knee, but the doctors were unable to treat it. After signing an agreement that locked my into a treatment plan, I was verbally told they knew my knee would get better within 30 days or I would get money back, it did not fix it & I didn't get any compensation back. I realized the treatment process wasn't changing, same routine & not isolating the issue. I had one DR in particular that really didn't have the strength to properly treat me on my visits with her, this made me feel uncomfortable with their capacity to actually treat the issue. I then began to realize this was a a very busy business, the time & attention to my treatment process seemed less tailored to me, & felt it would be better to find a new place. read more

My road to RCW begins with headaches. Years ago, I was diagnosed with chronic migraines: daily pain with all the mind-numbing that goes along with it, and my medicine was a little pill called Maxalt, priced at $30 apiece. I spent $10K in one year, seeing all varieties of headache specialists: doctors, dentists, chiros, sinus specialists, yogis, practitioners of ayurveda, therapy, reiki... and from there I researched, and experienced exotic adventures seeking health and wellness in the body, heart, mind, soul, and spirit, ultimately reaching the conclusion that I just had to go on living my life, and this life would be one with headaches. Somehow, I think my emotional "letting go" freed me from the physical suffering, and the headaches mysteriously went away. Recently, the headaches appeared more regularly. I suddenly had allergies too, and I got three colds in one year, leading to a blocked ear canal that lasted two months with all the disorientation that goes with it. I'm a dad now, with three kids bringing colds home from school, and so I thought it was an ordinary aging issue, and my attitude was to "tough it out." I am a warrior of the light, after all, and I have to set a strong example for my kids. Right? Well, maybe my stoic suppression of pain wasn't the type of "strength" they needed to see in me. In fact I think they value my tenderness. When I met Dr. T, and the team at RCW, I felt encouraged to invest more seriously in my self-care. They sent me home with a care kit, which gives me motivation daily to exercise and activate my spine. I'm on a thorough schedule of chiro care, starting with three adjustments per week, and then peeling off to two, one, and then probably occasional re-visits after that. I'm two months invested now. Feeling like a new man. Along with my strengthening body comes strengthening my mind, I feel, as I see my business up-leveling, and my emotional state seems tuned up too. Each of the chiropractors seems fascinated with their practice, generous with their gifts, eager to support people, trusting of the idea that the body is equipped to heal itself when the spine is aligned. This "alignment" seems to go all the way to my spiritual self, and now I am readier than ever to "light up the world." read more

I have been a patient for about 2 yrs or so and decided that for whatever reason I was well enough to stop care, well 7 months later my upper and lower back began to hurt to the point where I could not work or stand for long periods of time. I had waited to long between treatments to be seen. I was able to be seen I believe the day after I called for an appointment because that was the soonest I could get in which was better than the latter. Anyway I believe her name was Michelle. She was newer to the clinic because in prior visits she wasn't there but she was sympathized and empathic to my needs and could hear I was in pain. Once I was at my actual appointment, Rachel did some new technology scans to pinpoint my pain cause. The report I physically received from Dr Pete Martinez was so informative. This place isn't just a chiropractic office it's home. They have helped me lose weight and maintain back health. In my line of work it's needed! Thank you guys for being family!! Will return and highly recommend read more

When I found River City Wellness I was in a health crisis. The adjustments they give me have helped me with every health issue that I have encountered. I am on the maintenance programme now and am so grateful for everything they have helped me with. read more

I can put up a sign that says every person I meet must immediately give me a hundred dollars, but it doesn't mean they'll do it. Just because you have signs doesn't mean that you enforce that mandate. And, from what I saw, you do not. And that's fine- it's your choice as a business to enforce mask wearing or not enforce mask wearing. I have no motivation to post this other than to inform other people of what I saw - which was an office full of people not wearing masks... that's all. read more

You always hear people say your body goes to crap as you get older, well I'm going to call bs on that after being a client for over a year here. If you want to feel your best self, schedule a consult with Dr. Peter and his awesome team. I also love that they go a holistic approach offering clean supplements to maximize results. You've got to be consistent though- it only works if you also put the work in. 10/10 -would recommend for all everyone- including babies and pregnant mommas! read more

All about the money and will rip you off . Make sure you ask for the bill up front if you ever get treatment or they will pack on all they can so when you cancel you will still have a whopping balance due .They do not care about your needs. I signed up with the hopes of getting help for my mom that has Bipolar depression/ schizophrenia. I thought it would help with her anxiety . After over a month she was begging not to go , she didn't like it and it was not helping her . I cancelled her plan . I kept going a little longer since I have hip issues and felt no different then when I started . I know it can take the full length of treatment to see results and I understand that part. My problem is I continuously asked for the bill upfront several times and was told they would email it to me in the beginning of signing up . I work with someone that has the same issue and asked for the bill for over three weeks and had his wife be persistent to get it . He didn't even know how much he was paying for the home care kit. Here is my balance due after canceling over a month ago and charging my credit card on top of balance . I would go anywhere else to receive treatment and believe they are more honest than River city , hand down. read more

Friendly office that creates community and encouragement if you want it. Life changing services that help you commit to becoming more healthy and allow your body to truly heal. In the last 6 months, I have lost over 15 pounds and learned a lot about how real food and movement affect my body and mind. When I crave my Frosty, I now ask myself if I want to feel tired and wiped out for the next while. I gained new perspectives on food, exercise and doctors through their seminars and events. Anyone is invited to their events and seminars and most of them are free. read more

Came in with a low back problem, left with having to get life altering neck surgery.

Can't suggest you go here enough!!!! It was my first time going to a chiropractor and I was floored at the level of kindness, attention, and knowledge every person working there carries. Even my husband switched here after going to another chiropractor for over 2 years. Dr. Cody and Dr. Peter are so well trained and know SO much about the body from a holistic standpoint. I would trust my entire family with them. Very grateful to have the privilege of going here! read more

I have absolutely nothing but good things to say about River City Wellness. I have chronic pain & illnesses and it makes my life very difficult. The doctors here immediately created a plan to help me, and if something didn't help we simply tried something else. The doctors and entire staff get to know you. I've been coming here for over 2 years with my husband and I never thought I'd see the progress I have in my body. The body takes time to heal but with River City Wellness, I am pretty confident that even though my issues are chronic that things will get easier as they already have. read more

This place is the best! helped me tremendously with my scoliosis.

I walked into River City Wellness, not really knowing what to expect! I was greeting by Mary who was warm and friendly, and put me at ease right away. Cody presented their philosophy and knowledge of the practice they do. It was excellent and very informative. After that, we were given X-rays by Rachel, who was patient, friendly and very skilled at her job! When I got the adjustments by Peter and Cody, they were very gentle, and explained everything they were doing. I was so impressed by this busy little office filled with the most extraordinary workers. Unfortunately I don't live in Austin, and am pursuing options where I live, with the doctors' recommendations. If I lived close to River City Wellness, you can bet I would be there several times a week, to take advantage of this wonderful place of healing! read more

So I've been coming to RCW since October. I had a herniated disk in my neck, and a frozen shoulder...my choices were to either get surgery, and be out of work, and be in debt with hospital bills , or I can come get chiropractor done from Rivercity, and get heal in around 6 mo. The results; I no longer have a frozen shoulder, and my neck pain is nearly gone now, my body is definitely healing! The Doc's and staff here are amazing, from the moment you walk in the front door.

River City Wellness isn't just offering chiropractic care, they are family. I enjoy the aspect of catered care to my specific needs and really helping me to understand my condition. They don't just assess, adjust, and leave. They are also very respectful to the times we are living in now with covid. They do an awesome job at cleaning after every patient, making sure masks are worn and available, and will ask how close they can get while doing certain adjustments. I honestly feel they are the best in Austin! read more
