I wanted to wait a while before writing a review about Dr. Dickerson and Wellness Professionals. Well here's the status from a year ago on my Facebook page: "I loved going to the chiropractor! I could write a book on the experience. Apparently, I'm a bad case. He says that I'm worse than I think I am and is amazed that I don't feel more pain - God is good. He says that I'm his new project and wants to see me again tomorrow. I could go on and on. I should have went years ago!" Let me repeat that last sentence - I should have went years ago. I used to "throw my back out" at least once every two months. I couldn't walk upright. It was embarrassing. I looked like an old lady. It was really bad when I was pregnant. I no longer have times of throwing my back out. I never thought I'd live to see the day that I could say that. That nearly brings tears to my eyes. My back was messed up during childbirth with my first baby, so I highly recommend moms go see the chiropractor after having a baby - even if you aren't experiencing back problems. Dr. Dickerson can easily treat you, probably only once, and prevent those problems that last the rest of your life. Don't wait 19 years, like I did. If you are afraid to see a chiropractor, all I can say is it's foolish to not at least try. For those of you who don't go because of money and how you have to see the chiropractor for the rest of your life - these were the reasons I put it off so long - insurance pays at least part of it, you should at least ask Wellness Professionals about it. It was expensive initially (first 2-3 weeks, maybe longer depending on how bad it is), because I had to go often. I go every 6 weeks and pay $35 with my insurance. I would so much rather pay $35 every 6 weeks than to have my back go out every 2 months. Like the car salesman says, "Just try me." Just try it! I pray that you have the same...
   Read moreI went because I need it. I felt the doctor used different methods "unorthodox" than what I had experienced in the past and seen before. I felt uneasy to be honest. The staff was nice and very professional. Lots of open space even in the treatment rooms. Thus far it felt like visiting your bad ex's house. The doctor took about 40 minutes with me. My back didn't budge. The massage and pretzel churning didn't do it right then. I left the office with a little bit of a skepticism. Soon after getting home HOLY COW! I went to work and let me tell you- I felt like a million bucks!!!! My lower back pain was so miniscule that I forgot it was even there. Mind you for the past 5 years, I have been struggling and suffering with lower back pain. Its like getting hit with a police baton and then feeling the sting all day while the edge of it is right at your back on the same point every day. No matter what I did, I could not even bend over to tie my shoe laces most days. Squatting at work to pick up items required appointments, I felt like an old man at my job. Currently, I am a machine operator and do some carpentry work on the side. Getting in and out of my truck was pains taking events. Lifting things is hell. Right now, I can't thank this doctor enough. This was just the first session! I can reach my toes, without pain. I can squat with really no pain. I can get in and out of my truck with no pain. I know I am a work in progress, I get it, I have issues but seriously, I recommend everyone in Wellness Professionals. Don't wait another day, come see and feel the difference in as little as one visit-I am a believer. THANK YOU ALL FOR MAKING MY DAY SUCH A GREAT...
   Read moreAfter dragging my feet nursing a rib injury for four weeks after a long haul backpacking trip (visiting an urgent care and my rheumatologist to no avail) I finally decided I would give a chiropractor a try. I searched for the highest rated local provider and 5-star reviews lead me to Wellness Professionals. Let me tell you, their rating is absolutely 100% deserved.
I was nervous as I'd not been to a chiro, but my nerves were quickly quelled by knowledgeable and friendly staff. I called to schedule and reached Micaela at the front desk, she was extremely kind and personable and she fit me in the next day after work. I was given a very thorough exam and Dr. Dickerson reviewed my x-rays, he knew immediately what treatment was needed. He made sure I knew what was happening through the entire process and what to expect afterwards.
After my adjustment, I was able take a full breath without arresting pain for the first time in (literal) weeks after my injury. Dr. Dickerson took extra steps to reduce my pain and had Chris perform ultrasound therapy on my ribs. This helped tremendously in preventing after-adjustment soreness. Chris made sure I was completely comfortable and had me laughing during the treatment. I have required a few more sessions as my body is stubborn and slow to heal when injured. Every following appointment has been personable, patient-centered, and full of smiles. I continue to leave feeling better...
