It's an old story. Liquor and a friend who needed to move in a big hurry screwed up my lower back permanently. Dr. Devine restored it to great working condition. I was especially impressed by how Dr. Devine kept up with my progress and modified his approach over time. He taught me a number of stretching and strength-building exercises that I do semi-faithfully, and my back has improved to the point that I'm training for this year’s Jingle Bell Run. A year ago, that would have been unimaginable. Finding a great chiropractor or massage therapist is like prospecting for gold in the desert, but here you can find both. The service is wonderful! So far, I've had the pleasure of working with the two different massage therapists, Stephanie and Tyler, (I consider them artists, sculpting an undulating medium of pain and grotesque misalignment into a serene placid plane, sort of like deconstructing the gates of *** into a sunny meadow somewhere in the Alps). And yes, let me discuss the massages a bit more. The facilities are clean and lovely. I have fallen asleep on the table, lulled into peaceful bliss by the masseuse's expert wrangling of trigger points. I'm not someone who can easily relax, so it's saying something that I can happily let go for an hour and allow a healing of hands, so to speak. Best thing I ever did for myself! You will not regret a visit or 20.

I want to thank Dr. Devine so much for working with me two times in one day, and on such short notice. The magic you worked - adjusting me, and the kinesiotape worked wonders and I was able to run the entire Rock N Roll Marathon! I had a slow and consistent pace for the entire race, and was able to run all of it and not have to walk at all. Even at miles 20 through 26 where runners typically are not doing so well, I was feeling great and running strong! As I ran, I kept remembering the quote, "Pain is temporary. Pride is forever." As I thought about that during the race I couldn't help but be thankful that I had no pain in my knee. I am so proud to have run all 26.2 miles, and am grateful that you were a big part of my first marathon.

Dr. Devine is not only a friendly and caring person, he helps work miracles through his chiropractic practice. After 4 months of intense shoulder and arm pain, I started seeing a physical therapist. Didn't help. Then I saw an acupuncturist, which helped a little, but didn't fully alleviate the pain. After my first visit with Dr. Devine, the parathesia and burning sensations dissipated. The pain almost completely disappeared immediately, and within a few days I could type without problems and felt fully functional again. He is amazing!
