Dr. Debra Block was a lifesaver for me. I was in excruciating pain and I was told that I had "bulging disks" in c3-c6, was put on muscle-relaxer and then steroids. I couldn't get an appointment with a neurologist for a month and went back to Dr. Block after 2 years. My Primary Care Physician did not put me on any other pain medicine so for 1 1/2 weeks, I had nothing but the care of Dr. Block's Office, no medicine and no other physician. I still haven't seen a neurologist and have movement I didn't have in over a month.

My improvement is 100% associated with Dr. Block's staff, including the massage therapist. I would recommend Dr. Block's Office to everyone I know. They know what they are doing and they provide natural remedies before intrusive procedures or medicines. It won't hurt to go to them because if they do not see improvement, they will direct you to the next appropriate step, even if it is outside of their office. Your health is what is most important to them and they can be trusted.

April 2013, I experienced a severe sciatic nerve episode. I had taken muscle & pain medication but it was only masking the situation not correcting it. Fortunately a co-worker referred me to Dr Block's practice. I made the call that I feel did more for me than relieve the pain. From the initial visit I felt comfortable with the entire staff and never doubted my decision to make that call.
Dr Lindsay McDonald took her time to "know me" as well as determine what was causing the sciatic pain. Within less than 4 weeks I had forgotten what pain I had experienced. My visits to Dr. Lindsay were weekly initially but were reduced to what is now "maintenance". I now feel as if I found a source of overall wellness not just limited to eliminating pain.

Lindsay, Thanks for your time, caring, experience & knowledge !!!

I was referred to Dr. Block after an accident in 2010. I returned again in 2012 after a 2nd accident. She is very kind, professional and offers genuine concern for you feeling good. I was suffering from vertigo for almost two weeks after my accident when I brought it up to Dr. Block, and when she examined me she found that the base of my skull was out of line. With a few adjustments, I was immediately feeling better and the vertigo symptoms had been 100% relieved. I am a believer of Dr. Blocks and would highly recommend her.

I am amazed at how much better I feel since I started seeing Dr. Block. Before I was stiff and often had lower back pain, accompanied by a pepetual stiff neck. Now, I have no major back pain episodes and my overall health has improved since I am now able to exercise regularly and without fear of throwing-out my back. In addition to monthly adjustments, Dr. Block gives me guidance on how to life a healthy lifestyle and reduce stress in my life! Dr. Block is more than a Chiropractor, she's a healer!

I went here based on the referral of a colleague and boy was she right! Dr. Bloch is genuinely caring and very professional. She has vast knowledge of the entire musculo-skeletal system. She has a soft touch and the treatment didn't hurt a bit. After only one treatment I have at least 50% more mobility in my shoulder and neck! I will be going back every week. I highly recommend paying Dr. Block a visit!
