  • "The Blair Technique isn’t what most of us consider to be the traditional approach to spinal care but I find it less aggressive and more effective! The staff is very helpful and supportive and with the suggested maintenance I can rely on the lasting healing effects both physically and mentally."

    — Irene A. 

  • “Just after 4 appointments, 3 adjustments and my spine is finding it's way back to an eased state. It's been a great experience to learn about my spine. Dr. Pratt has been wonderful to work with. Thank you!"

  • "Dr. Dauphinais has been my chiropractor for almost three years, and she has completely changed my life for the better. When I came to her as a new patient, my quality of life was incredibly poor. I am chronically ill, and I was seeing specialist after specialist, but getting no answers. Dr. Dauphinais has been able to help so many of my illnesses and chronic issues that I no longer have to go to specialists looking for answers. Its truly crazy how many functions in the human body are operated through nerves, and how many things can be affected by your spine being out of alignment. The Blair technique was not something I had experienced at any other chiropractic office prior, and I feel beyond lucky to be treated using it. I have hEDS and while those with hypermobile disorders may stay away from chiropractic as a whole, this is what the Blair technique and these doctors specialize in. Dr. Dauphinais and Dr. Pratt are incredible practitioners, who are SO kind, caring, professional, and always listen. You never feel rushed or like you don't matter. I went from barely able to walk, with a whole host of issues throughout my body, and severe chronic pain, to walking with no problems, minimal chronic pain, and many of my issues have subsided. I rarely see specialists now, and I have so much of my life back. I truly could not say enough wonderful things about these practitioners, and I know if you become a patient, you'll realize how lucky you are, too."

    — Meg F.

  • "I’ve been seeing Dr. Pratt since Summer 2023 after a head injury left me with daily dizziness, a stiff neck, and migraines that lasted over 20 days at a time. When I first came in, I could barely swallow from the neck tension and honestly felt hopeless. I wasn’t sure chiropractic care would help—but even after the first few visits, I saw a dramatic shift. I hadn’t realized how much pain I was living with every day until it started to lift. Dr. Pratt truly changed my life. Out of the 15+ providers I’ve seen during my recovery, he’s been one of the few whose care made a real, lasting difference. Not only did he relieve so much of my lingering pain, but he was also incredibly kind and compassionate. I came in scared that I might feel worse, but he always took time to explain things and made sure I felt safe and heard. He also referred me to other trusted providers who could support my recovery, and I’m so grateful."
