The way he approached the problem was methodical

“I went to see Dr. Eric in 2014 for a neck and upper back pain that was not letting me sleep properly. The way he approached the problem was methodical. He examine my back and neck.

He explained in DETAIL the issue and proceeded to implement some treatment. After the first treatment, I was able to go home, enjoy a good night sleep, and concentrate on my work the next day! A few more visits later, the pain and discomfort basically vanished.

I have kept seeing Dr. Eric just to do check ups on my back and neck to avoid issues. I highly recommend him.”

My neck and back felt — lighter, looser, and more aligned

“I had my first session here after quite a long time without any chiropractic care, and I can honestly say I left feeling so much better. Even after just one session, I noticed a big difference in how my neck and back felt—lighter, looser, and more aligned. I know it's going to take more than one visit to fully get where I want to be, but I'm already impressed with the progress after just one adjustment.

Dr. Eric not only has excellent skill, but also a great personality—he made me feel comfortable, explained what he was doing, and really listened to my concerns. I appreciate his approachable and professional manner, and I'm looking forward to continuing my care here. Highly recommend!”

Less pain and more mobility

“Dr Eric is amazing! This was my second visit, I had a very painful shoulder pain and walked in with limited mobility on my left side. He did everything possible to make sure that I left with less pain and more mobility. I wish I had come sooner but I'm always putting everyone ahead of my needs and Dr. Eric was so compassionate and caring with me while also explaining how I got here and what needs to be done to fix it.

It's rare to find Dr's who actually care these days and take the time to actually listen and tailor a plan to YOUR needs and not a cookie cutter approach to all patients. I will continue my treatments and I feel confident that I can put my trust in him. He is a rare gem and I'm so happy to have him as a Chiropractor. If you are having any issues with pain he is the Dr to see, you will not regret it!

I cannot recommend him enough! Thank you so much for all that you do!”

Unique chiropractic care and muscle therapy blend

“Unique chiropractic care and muscle therapy blend where it’s not that quickie in and out in 10 minutes, but a full hour of working on your body and you get to dictate how time is spent. Hint: if it hurts, that is likely a focus area ;) Don’t think soothing massage here, but rather “no pain, no gain”. There’s no high cost imaging, no medicine, just physical manipulation. It’s not always pleasant, but useful for restoration, function, & flexibility.”

I get a solid hour of hands on work

“As a senior citizen, I have acquired a few aches and pains along the way. I have been seeing chiropractors for over forty years. While helpful, I had been looking for more hands-on reatment. With Dr Eric, I get a solid hour of hands on work.

He listens, he probes, he examines, and then concentrates on the sore spots. I walk out with less soreness and better range after each visit.

It is easy to book appointments online. I booked two hours the first time because I wanted to discuss my condition and learn more about his techniques.

Dr Eric did an extensive examination and then started treatment. He is very thorough and personable. I am very satisfied with the results and book an hour twice a month.”

Like a car mechanic for human bodies

“Dr Eric is like a car mechanic for human bodies. You come in all broken and torn, pull into the garage, he puts you on the lift, he brings out all of his fancy gadgets and tools, and step by step he meticulously puts you all back together again. I think he’s a magician honestly. This isn’t an adjustment or a massage, it’s much better than that. He let’s his intuition guide him to the problem areas.

During my visit, there were times where the pain was so great I had to stop talking and just “Breathe” through it, but I kept saying “It hurts so good” - And it did! He tortures you in all the right ways.

I felt amazing after my first appt, and I have another appt scheduled! You will not regret getting a tune up from Dr Eric, you deserve it and your body with thank you for it!”

I’ve got about 100 pounds on Dr. Eric

“I went to Achieve Chiropractic & Muscle Therapy because I was dealing with stiffness in my right shoulder and overall tightness throughout my body. From the start, Dr. Eric really listened to where I was tight and where I was lacking range of motion. It didn’t feel rushed or routine; it felt tailored. He went through what felt like his full toolbox, and every technique had a clear purpose.

What really stood out was that he didn’t just massage on the surface; he actually got into the problem areas and addressed what was causing the restriction. And for context, I’m a 250-lb fighter; I’ve got about 100 pounds on Dr. Eric, so I was impressed with how effectively he was able to work through those deeper spots.

After the session, my shoulder had a noticeably better range of motion, and my entire body felt looser and less compacted. It wasn’t subtle; it was immediate and measurable. I don’t regret a second of going, and if I could, I’d do it every day. Highly recommend.”

He has been adjusting my back for the past eight years

“Dr. Eric is incredible! I have been going to his practice since it opened. I actually followed him from his previous practice, and could not recommend a better chiropractor. He has been adjusting my back for the past eight years, and he has done wonders.

I initially started seeing him on the basis of my husband's recommendation. I went to his office very skeptical of being manipulated and hearing my joints pop. I went to him because I had a bulging disc that was creating unbearable pain for me. It was pressing down on the spinal nerve running down my left leg, so it was very painful to walk for longer than a few steps and even more excruciating to jog. I was not able to maintain my quality of life, and I was at my wits ends with classical forms of therapy. I had visited orthopedic doctors and surgeons, and I had gone to physical therapy hoping to find relief there. Instead, I found no relief from physical therapy and was told that there was no other option for me except to get a Cortizone shot, which would not actually resolve the problem just mask it.

When I initially went to Dr. Eric he took an x-ray and started working on my back. He was realistic with me about expectations, and really helped devise a plan on how we could get to a point of relief. It was a slow process since my back was so damaged and misaligned due to my bulging disc and scoliosis. He never gave up, though, and after about nine months to a year I felt an immense relief of pressure in my lower back. My bulging disc stopped pinching my nerve that ran down through my leg. I was able to walk anywhere for however long I desired. I was able to start running again, which I love, and actually ran a half marathon a few years later with a time of 8:30/minute.

Dr. Eric is truly a one-of-a-kind chiropractor! I have been to three or four other chiropractors because I have moved out of the area, and none of them compare to his high standard of medical care. I now visit him every time I go to my in-laws, for maintenance, because I can't get the same level of care anywhere else. He really listens to what you tell him physically needs work, and where you feel that you need support. He is the perfect combination of physical therapy, massage, and adjustments. He is very patient-centric and focuses on hearing you and developing a very personalized plan.

I definitely recommend seeing him!!”

My headaches are rare now

“Dr. Eric is amazing! I have been to a handful of chiropractors over the last 15 years, and they have all been cookie-cutter chiropractors and do the exact same thing no matter what your problem is. Dr. Eric is different, he takes the time to figure out what the problem is! His method is very different than cookie cutter chiropractic care, and I love it! My neck has been in pain since a car accident 17 years ago, and I have been to the chiropractor once or twice a week for the last 5 years, but since switching to him, I am at maintenance... going once a month instead of twice a week! My headaches are rare now... but I used to get a headache once a week. I used to have a hard time bending and twisting at my hips, my range of motion and flexibility has increased tremendously!

I would have constant left arm numbness and elbow pain, that is gone! I used to have a pain in between the bottom of my neck and my shoulder, and he knows how to adjust that :-) I used to go to the chiropractor, and I would never feel a hundred percent better when I left there, and I would be back 2 days later with the same complaint. Not with dr. Eric! My husband is even impressed that it has been 3 to 4 weeks in between appointment:-) plus it's saving us a ton of money ;-) dr. Eric will tell you that from a business perspective it doesn't make sense for a chiropractor to want to get you better because then you don't come back as often, but his goal is to see you as infrequently as possible... Because that means you are better! In general I am less stiff, more flexible, have better range of motion, and then less pain, have very rare headaches and my quality of life has improved! He educates you on how to solve the problem as well! He helps you think about what you are doing that could be causing the pain. Then he teaches you a different way to do the same thing you have been doing, so that it doesn't cause the same problem.

He also educates you on stretches that you can do at home to prevent recurrence. I can complain about a spot thinking it is out of alignment and he will show me on a skeleton what my problem is, and if it happens to me muscular vs bone alignment...he will still fix it!! He does deep muscle work as well and gets to the root of it. I always feel like $1 million dollars when I leave his office 😀 Thank you dr. Eric! I am so glad my TMJ dentist dr. Harper referred me to you :-) it has been a Godsend! I am only 36 years old, but have been in pain for the last 15 years. I just thought that's how life was going to be I just had neck problems and back problems from a car accident 20 years ago. But, I have now realized I don't have to continue to live in constant pain!”
