Dr Sharon Bruce. Outstanding service from the office staff, to Dr Bruce herself, every time I've been there. Short (or no) wait times, and everything taken care of. Dr Bruce is a great listener...she's patient...and treats your needs as needed without 'rushing'. I've felt BETTER every time I've left her office, so (obviously) I'm a satisfied customer! Highly recommended, totally without hesitation!! read more

(That's 10 stars, but I'd give her 100 if I could.) I'm not exaggerating when I say Dr. Bruce literally changed .... and possibly saved ... my life. A while back, I was in a serious motorcycle accident that damaged my C-3 and C-4 vertebrae ... for those who don't know, that's a very delicate and risky area of the neck. I saw a handful of professionals after the accident, but no one made a difference. Some seemed nervous to even touch it. But then I found Dr. Bruce. From the first visit, I knew I was in the right hands ... healing hands. She not only knew exactly what she was doing, but took the time to explain what had happened, what was causing the pain, and most importantly ... what the path forward looked like. She put together a detailed, personalized game plan for my healing and took the time to adjust it as I improved. She didn't rush. She didn't guess. She knew. And that gave me confidence and peace of mind I hadn't felt in months. Fast forward to now ... I'm back to doing things I honestly didn't think I'd be able to do again. In fact, every time I injure myself (which is, embarrassingly, kind of often ... I'm a professional klutz), Dr. Bruce somehow puts me back together again. I joke that I'm basically Humpty Dumpty, and she's the entire Kingdom putting me back together. I've sent countless friends/coworkers to her ... especially the skeptics who "don't believe in chiropractors" ... and guess what? One or two visits later, they're hooked. Their spouses start going. Their kids go. It's like a ripple effect of healing. And did I mention she also works on animals?? Yes, she helps animals with adjustments and massage therapy. If that's not next-level awesome, I don't know what is. On top of all that, her massage therapists are incredible ... these aren't just spa-style massages. These are deep, therapeutic, body-smart professionals who work with Dr. Bruce to help restore mobility, function, and long-term healing. The combination of chiropractic care and massage here is unbeatable. And the entire staff? Kind, helpful, upbeat, and welcoming every single time. It's a rare vibe ... not just professional, but genuinely warm and human. I honestly don't understand how anyone could leave a bad review. I've been coming to Dr. Bruce for years, and every single person I've referred says the same thing: "Why didn't I find her sooner?" So if you're in pain, skeptical, overwhelmed, or just unsure where to start: Start here. Start with Dr. Bruce. She's got the hands, heart, and brains to get you back on your feet ... or in my case, back on a motorcycle (carefully this time). - A FOREVER grateful, previously busted-up biker with a magically realigned neck read more

I have been going to Dr. Bruce for more than 15 years, and for many types of care... including regular chiropractic adjustments, as well as sports therapy in order to either help heal an injury, or teach me new movements to keep from getting injured. I also love that in the time I have known Dr. Bruce she has continued to grow and build upon her education by learning new methods and procedures - always reading up, as well as following up, on new treatment offerings. read more

I was in serious back pain and they were able to see me same-day, everyone was extremely nice and Dr. Bruce is as straight-forward and honest as they come. I didn't need much in the way of adjustments to fix my problem which was nice. They didn't try to oversell me on treatments/xrays/classes/etc. that I didn't need like other clinics have done in the past. Pricing was fair! I left with great advice on how to better prevent future back issues as well. When I hurt my back again I'll be back at The Lumbar Yard! read more

God send! If there's 10 stars, I would give 10! Dr. Sharon Bruce is very caring, and you feel comfortable, and she's very competent! You feel the difference, even for the first treatment! My son had a jumping pain from head to his hip, groin area. Went to different doctors, mri, acupuncture etc etc etc. But with Dr Bruce, one treatment alone made a big difference! And me too! I feel so much better! We are very grateful! An answered prayer! When I saw her picture. I said, she is my doctor! Very highly recommended! All her staffs are genuinely helpful, caring and accommodating! read more

Dr. Bruce and her staff is amazing! I love coming in here for an adjustment or just a massage The service is wonderful and always responsive.

Been going to the Lumbar Yard for 15 years at least and they are the best. The latest I was suffering from a severe pinched nerve preventing me from working and normal day to day activities for about a week. Dr Bruce adjusted me, worked on the area in pain, recommended some stretches and a day later I'm almost pain free. read more

Dr. Bruce is an amazing person. Caring and very sensitive to your needs. She has helped me so much. She has helped me with severe sciatica pain when no one else has been able to do. And I've tried many procedures. She has recommended stretches and sent me videos of ways to help with the pain. Using her inversion table has helped so much, along with her adjustments. I can't say enough!! She is awesome and I highly recommend her. read more

I'm a 51-year-old, 6'1", 280 pound male. I am not sure what in the world I ever did to my back but I worked with it hurting for three days, then tried to take my weekend very casually hoping it would get better. No dice! By Sunday night I couldn't find a comfortable position to save my life. I think I got just a few hours of sleep. And by the time it was time for me to get out of bed and go to work I was almost in tears just at the thought of trying to get into my car. I am very fortunate in the respect that I have a shop owner that I consider a friend. And when I asked her for a referral she sent me to Dr. Bruce. I saw Dr. Bruce at 10 in the morning. And I went back for a follow up at 3 PM. I'm not going to lie and say I walked out healed, but I did walk out with a significant amount of relief the first time, which was enough to get me through the day to where I could get some heat and cold on my back as the doctor instructed. And then after the 3 PM appointment I was able to go home and get a very good nights sleep. And I will throw this out. The doc told me to do things, not take pills. That is a doctor. She wanted me better, not medicated. Once again I want to say this. I am not going to lie and say the doctor cured me 100% with a snap of her fingers. Back injuries are not like that. When you screw up your back it will take time to heal. Time, rest and a game plan. But Dr. Bruce was able to provide me with relief when I went for the first visit, which felt like a life saving difference at the time. Then things improved with the second, and I was fortunate enough that time ( a few days), common sense, and some good advice from my doctor got me through the rest of my ordeal. Dr. Bruce, you have my deepest thanks. I hope this review helps both you and some poor person or persons who are in the spot I was in. Oh yeah. The reason I started this off with my age and size? If anybody thinks that a woman is not capable of adjusting and aligning the spine of someone my size? Not true! Dr. Bruce might not be Imposing to look at, but she does understand that intelligence and technique and training are far better than simple brute strength. For all you big guys out there, I'm just throwing it out there for you! read more

5 stars isn't enough to describe Dr. Bruce, and massage therapists Gina, Laura, and all the others. Dr. Bruce isn't like any other chiropractor I've met. She takes her time with each patient, really figuring out the source of the problem in order to make the correct adjustments. Sometimes she spends 30 minutes working on me, then has me get up and move around, asking how I feel. If I'm not back to 100%, she will make more adjustments to get me back on track. If she's concerned about my progress, she will have me pop in the next day, just to see how she can make more improvements. Dr. Bruce uses manual manipulation, the activator, as well as massage therapy and general healthy living practices. If you are in any pain, do not hesitate to try out Dr. Bruce, she WILL help you feel much better! read more

Dr. Bruce is amazing! Shes very attentive and caring. No matter how bad my pain is when I go in, she always provides relief. Words cannot express how grateful I am to have found such an amazing chiropractor. It's also worth mentioning Mary from the front desk is also kind and friendly. Definitely very welcoming. read more

Made my first visit here today and it was an amazing experience. I came in desperately for a stiff neck and some lower back pain, and Dr. Bruce made me feel much better! She was very detailed and concise with what she was doing and really digs deep into the problem areas. I will be definitely returning. I highly recommend! read more

Laura is the best! She begins by asking "How can I help?" She tends to work out all my kinks and finds tension spots that I did not realize were sore or tight. Very thorough...I highly recommend her work. read more

They DONT TAKE KAISER. it's $120 1st visit, $60 after that. This info is of you have Kaiser

Dr. Bruce and her interns are amazing. I went in after seeing another chiropractor, a massage therapist, an acupuncturist, two shoulder surgeons and one neck surgeon. I was seriously contemplating surgery for a SLAP tear in my right shoulder. The surgeons were telling me that SLAP tears are usually asymptomatic but the pain was so bad I couldn't do any meaningful physical exercise for months. Dr. Bruce went at me with some soft tissue work and did a rib adjustment. After one day, the pain was significantly better. After 3 days it was nearly gone. I'm so grateful to her and her staff and couldn't recommend her more highly! read more

Dr. Bruce is simply AMAZING! I've been going to her for many years. I'm an active person, often training for marathons, triathlons, and anything else I can get myself into. When I'm not training I'm in the mountains snowboarding. Dr Bruce and The Lumbar Yard has helped me maintain proper physical condition to compete and do the things that I love most. She and her team are very knowledgeable in treating injuries. She always helps me recover from my injuries by listening to the problem and really trying to find the cause and fix it so it doesn't recur. First Fridays are the best at The Lumbar Yard. She offers $25 adjustments, and $1 a minute chair massage. This is a great opportunity to get to know Dr. Bruce and start feeling better. Thanks Doc! read more

Dr. Bruce is a great chropractor and I attribute my regular visits to her for my overall well being. She has helped me through chronic back pains and migraine headaches. Her office also offers therapy messages from Gina, who knows how to work out all the aches and pains from problem areas. I recommend Dr Bruce to anyone who wants to feel well! read more

Dr Bruce is simply a WOW person and doctor! She is so warm and great! She has fixed my back multiple times. Last week i went to her post delivery (almost after 8 months) and she still remembered me and my name (read- my name is difficult to pronounce). She take her time, listens to the problem and fixes it. Suggests few exercises and tricks which do wonders. I am so grateful I found her. read more

Been going to her for years: She's been a godsend after car accidents or after just seemingly "sleeping funny" and waking up with pain. Lots of chiropractors and massage therapists can make you feel better, but it's Dr. Bruce's great personality, genuine concern, and sporty attitude that set her apart and make her my number one choice for all of my chiropractic needs! read more

I went to see Dr. Bruce with acute sciatica. I had tried many different things to help relieve the pain to no avail and wanted to find a way to get better. Dr. Bruce did a thorough analysis of what positioning and movement was causing me pain and in the process figure out what I was doing in my day to day life to have gotten to this point, and more importantly, what I can do to help myself get better. She went over my MRI with me which my Kaiser Dr. didn't even do. It helped me to understand what was happening in my particular case since with sciatica it's not really one size fits all. I'm grateful now I have a plan to make my way to recovery and found it very beneficial to understand what was really happening. Don't passively take your doctor's advice to get surgery or some other thing. Do your research.. get good advice. read more

It would be too short to write a negative review... It would take too long to write a positive review... All the therapist Gina, Diana, Laura, etc.. Who has worked on me has their own special touches... With Dr. Bruce its more like family & friends relationship more than a Dr to patient one... Which reflects in the care she provides... Thank you for all you do by improving the quality of lives... If i keep writing it will be "too long!" read more
