Patient Testimonials...
For over thirty years, I have dealt with severe lower back pain and muscle spasms that caused sharp stabbing pains in my right leg. Several times a year, the pain became so intolerable that not only did I miss work, but moving from the couch was even a challenge. I even wore a back brace for a six-month period and was prescribed muscle relaxers, anti-inflammatories and painkillers. However, these only provided temporary relief.
I had never been to a chiropractor before my boss recommended scheduling an appointment, and was skeptical and scared at the thought of having my back adjusted with my history of debilitating spasms caused simply by bending or twisting my back. The staff was very personable and friendly though, and Dr. Rick’s examination was extremely professional and thorough. He recommended a treatment plan that consisted of adjustments, therapy, and exercises to help strengthen and stabilize my back. The results were miraculous! I have been treated for about three months, and I am no longer experiencing pain or stiffness, and am still improving. My wife also came to see Dr. Ricks about a month ago with an injured shoulder and a stiff neck, and she too has experienced a remarkable improvement! I heartily recommend chiropractic care to everyone now. Orthopedic surgeons, neurosurgeons and others couldn’t help me, but Dr. Ricks has!

I first took Timothy to see Dr. Ricks when he was almost three months old. Within days after being born, he screamed and cried constantly and never slept more than 45 minutes straight. He also seemed even more agitated when he was laid on his back or put in his car seat, but we were told he was just colicky and I should try changing my diet or his feeding schedule. We were assured this would pass and there was no reason to worry, but nothing changed.
Several months later at a family reunion my aunt suggested taking Timothy to a chiropractor. I had previously seen one for numbness in my legs after I had Timothy, and remembered the positive outcome. I felt much better even after my first treatment and I never experienced any symptoms similar to that again! We really like the atmosphere at Dr. Ricks’s office, the staff was very nice and pleasant to be around. Dr. Ricks showed me how to rub Timothy’s neck at home to help loosen up his muscles, and after only his first visit he stopped crying and slept through the night! After three more visits his neck and back were fully corrected, and he hardly ever cries at all anymore.
I would recommend seeing a chiropractor first to anyone who is struggling with pain and can’t find the cause, not only would this save taking a lot of unnecessary pain medication but it alleviates living with pain for long periods of time. Any time people ask me about my baby I always tell them it was a chiropractor who helped him!

Prior to being treated at Advantage Walk-In Chiropractic, I had never darkened the doors of a chiropractor in my seventy five years. I went because my wife would not got unless I would go, and since I have suffered with lower back pain since the age of seventeen (I was a bomb loader in the air force-I was told by the bigger and older guys that I was too little to pick up a 250 pound bomb…I picked it up and have hurt ever since.) besides my back pain, I was having a lot of pain in my right shoulder, down my arm, and into my hand.
After my first treatment, I have been pain free in my lower back. Now after nineteen treatments, including the first two free treatments, I am pain free in my back, shoulder, arm, and hand.
I thank god for Dr. Ricks and Dr. Marston, and the wonderful staff of ladies at Advantage Walk-In Chiropractic for making me pain free. Also I thank my wife for getting me to go.
Anyone reading this, if you are hurting, this is the place to start getting pain free.

I was taking 9-12 ibuprofen each day, unable to sleep, and was prescribed pain pills for my spinal stenosis and degenerative discs in my lower back before I came to see Dr. Ricks. I was in almost continuous pain since falling in the shower about two years ago. I had back surgery 36 years ago that was successful before my re-injury.
I saw the ad in the paper and the TV ads and decided to check into it. At first I had some doubts-Dr. Ricks said he was sure he could help me so I decided to try it. Everyone was so congenial and kind. The treatments were extremely easy and fast. The doctor always answered my questions I had and the gals in the office and laser therapy were all so kind and pleasant. They are very efficient.
I feel the 62 mile trip (one way) was well worth it. I believe the treatments to be successful and I will continue to do my exercises. I would recommend that people please check this office out to see if they can help you. I know they will be honest with anyone who comes in.
I am so glad I read the ad in the paper and appreciate the two free treatments I received for calling early. The doctors, Ricks and Marston, know their jobs and will help you all they can.

At Advantage Walk-In Chiropractic I found relief after many years of nursing, where I lifted and moved heavy machine, and where patients needed care getting in and out of bed - I used my back and legs for added support.
My back and legs finally gave me severe pain where I was using a cane to walk. Now, after seeing Dr. Ricks and starting on a series of treatments that gave me such relief I couldn’t believe it.
The nurses and staff were very efficient and caring; this made treatments a lot easier to take. There was no discomfort at all, it was so relaxing.
I would suggest anyone suffering with pain, give Advantage Walk-In Chiropractic a call, you will be surprised at how well you will feel after a few treatments.
I thank you, Dr. and staff.
Sincerely,

Dr. Ricks,
I just wanted to put into words how much your treatments have helped me.
I injured my right shoulder during the summer. The pain was almost debilitating and I sought medical help from the Shoulder Clinic here locally. They treated me with cortisone shots and told me to be patient as it could take up to three months to heal. The shots gave me no relief and three months later my condition hadn't improved. Because I was approaching my fiftieth birthday, I tried to be patient and give it time. I figured my older body needed more time to heal. The doctor had told me the next option would be surgery and I wanted to avoid that trauma at all possible cost. By Christmas, however, things had gotten much worse. As I planned my new year, I figured I would need to include the surgery.
Then I saw your ad in the Statesman. Being quite desperate, I called and made an appointment. I can't tell you how glad I am that I did. After the initial treatment, I only felt slightly better, but enough that I decided to return. By the end of the third visit the degree of pain had diminished by half. I was so encouraged I scheduled the series of necessary visits for the complete treatment.
Now, two months later, I am virtually pain free. I am slowly beginning to rebuild the strength back in my shoulder and arm and I no longer have to wake up in the mornings feeling like a brick wall. My range of motion is normal and I didn't have to have surgery!
Thank you so much for putting me back on the path to stabile health! Your bedside manner is so personable, I feel like I could call you my friend as well as my doctor.
Sincerely
