Visiting Balance Family Chiropractic for 4 months now. Hoping for relief from disc compression and sciatica, I have been treated by both Drs.and the level of care provided is exceptional. The entire staff is friendly, efficient and attentive. Highly recommend for quality care.
We have had a very positive experience at Balance Family Chiropractic over the past few weeks! Welcoming staff, very family friendly environment with toys in the waiting room and a treatment room for families, and thorough exam with plan of action.
From the moment you walk in the door, you’re greeted by a friendly group staff. Always have a smile and good attitude. Both doctors Ackerman / Pawola care about their patients and explain things in way that it’s easy to understand.
I have been going for several years. Appointments are always kept on time, efficient , and reasonably priced. They work with my insurance company. The personal at the front desk are friendly, as well as Dr. Pawola. I always leave feeling better and energetic. I highly recommend Balance Family Chiropractic.
I first started coming to Balance Family Chiropractic to help with shoulder pain I dealt with for years. Wellness plan has helped immensely and it also helped during my pregnancy. Now postpartum and it still is something I look forward to doing to readjust my back, shoulder, and neck. Also since giving birth I’ve been having so side hip pain and going weekly has been a big help! I love Dr. Pawola and all she does in helping my adjustments. Dr Ackerman has helped me along the way as well with great tips! This place is warm and welcoming and staff does an amazing job!
