I got 3 months treatment for my neck pain last year, it didn't help as much as I hoped. They just let you lie down and crack your neck, only 5min treatment for $65. I spent over 600 dollars at this place.

I was introduced to Lifeworks Family Chiropractic by a friend inviting me to a talk on stress. The education that I received in that one hour really woke me up. The information given was backed up by science and research.
