patients' testimonials

I've known dr. Martin and his family for over 25 years since I was probably 12 years old. I'm 40 now. And still believe in him. For me, he's nothing but great! Fixes my back problems pretty fast. And never puts me on those weird programs where you got to come in 3x a week with no recovery. I believe he's very honest. But for what it's worth. I love dr. Martin. And he's helped my entire family for over 30 years.

I've visited Dr. Martin since the early 90's for treatment of a herniated disc which I've had for many years. He has been successful at alleviating the pain and the "lock up" when my back goes completely out. Considerate and caring. If you are "lucky" enough, he may tell you one of his corny jokes-provided he feels it doesn't throw your back out. He will squeeze you right away in if you're in really bad shape, but for me, I have to beg and plead and say nice things. (that's what happens when you become friends with these people).

Seriously, I have recommended him to many friends and co-workers. For those of you who are skeptical of "chiropractic" as I once was, I urge you to try it at least once. I'm a believer!
