Comment: This treatment didn’t work for me. I ultimately spent about $900, including x-rays, and felt minimal change. I decided to stop going after Dr Biek suggesting that I get a second round of x-rays. If it works, it makes sense, but for me, spending almost $100 for a session that lasted about 5 mins felt crazy.

Comment: Dr. Marie is a highly skilled NUCCA chiropractor. I started seeing Dr. Marie because of hip and back pain. Traditional chiropractic can be a bit scary, especially as someone with a history of back spasms and pain. Dr. Marie is very gentle, the NUCCA technique consists of just slight pressure. My back pain resolved very quickly, within a few sessions. But when my hip pain did not, and because she is excellent at what she does and a true professional, she knew that something else was likely going on. She took an x-ray and based on what she saw recommended I get seen by an orthopedist, who confirmed severe arthritis. I highly recommend Dr. Marie and Equilibrium Spinal Care!

Comment: I have been seeing Dr Marie for about one year aftermy daughter in law discovered her and was so pleased my son with back problems used her services as well as their five year old son after a fall. All felt much better and suggested I see her for my chronic back pain. At 81 I thought I was a goner or at least need some kind of back surgery. On a scale of one to ten i was consistenlt between eight and eleven, sometimes worse. It has taken a while but I am glad to say I am between a one and four at the most. I highly reccomend her services. Appointments are gentle quick and provided in positive manner. I give her a five star rating without hesitation.

Comment: Dr. Marie has been a game changer for me. She helped me regain mobility and minimize pain when other’s couldn’t. My post-Lyme body was rigid, achy and tightened up whenever I tried to exercise and build muscle. Her holistic approach created the opportunity for my body to heal further. My pain is minimal or non-existent, and I participate in a wide range of activities without worrying about “how my body is going to feel” the next day.

Comment: Dr Marie is a wonderful chiropractor. The range of issues her adjustments have helped me with is impressive. The adjustment she does is both gentle and profound in terms of impact. I feel incredibly fortunate to have worked with her. I’ve worked with other chiropractors. There’s no downside to the work Dr Marie does - this is the real deal.

Comment: I am the daughter of a Chiropractor so I had many chiropractic adjustments from a very young age. Dr Marie’s adjusting technique is nothing like I encountered before and it is miraculous: after the initial adjustments when I began seeing her, I have kept my alignment! Thanks to Dr Marie, I feel stronger, more grounded and aligned than I ever. If you are considering chiropractic care yet are uncomfortable with cracking and popping, don’t hesitate for a second, call Dr Marie right away!

Comment: I came to Dr. Marie with debilitating lower back pain from herniated discs. I believe her gentle but effective adjustments have been crucial for my healing. After a few months of seeing her I am finally pain-free. I really believe in the NUCCA method, so I will never go to another kind of chiropractor ever again, especially one that involves intense cracking and twisting. She also most recently relieved jaw pain I was experiencing from TMJ! Dr Marie is very kind, professional and great at what she does. My insurance was able to cover about half of her treatment, by the way. Thanks Dr Marie!

Comment: I have suffered with neck pain, limited mobility, weakness, headaches for a long time, years. This from a variety of horse riding and car accidents and an illness that put my body through a lot of stress. I’ve been to orthopedic doctors, had MRI’s, X-rays, Physical Therapy, and have gone to other chiropractors yet my issue got worse not better.Dr. Marie is knowledgable, patient, kind and I appreciate that the adjustments are gentle. For me, it took time to feel improvement but I have! It’s changed my life, I don’t have headaches, my neck mobility has significantly increased, and I am now exercising and lifting weights again.Overall, I feel healthier and stronger, thank you Dr. Marie!

Comment: I am a very active person and found myself in terrible hip pain. It got so bad I was having a hard time sleeping, let alone trying to work out. Dr. Biek was able to easily identify my pain and with only a few appointments I was better than I had been before. She is very flexible to accommodate my crazy schedule and the appointments are quick and effective immediately.I was skeptical that by only adjusting my neck it would fix my hip, but now I feel silly that I ever doubted her! If you haven’t ever experienced her style of chiropractic services, give it a try and be amazed.

Comment: I found Dr. Marie online and I am so glad I did. I am a runner and although I was not in a lot of pain, I could tell that I was imbalanced. My left foot usually worked harder than my right in my runs. My posture seemed like it was getting worse every day. I booked an appointment with Dr Marie. She did X-rays before to find the imbalance, she adjusted me and explained how it worked and what to expect.After the adjustment I felt much lighter and taller. Since working with Dr. Marie I have found my runs to be easier too. I would definitely recommend giving NUCCA a try!

Comment: It is hard to put into words how special my experience is with Dr. Marie at Equilibrium Spinal Care. I came in a nervous system WRECK, and over time have been able to fully shift both my body and my UNDERSTANDING of my body with her guidance. She is compassionate and listens with her whole heart. I dumped so much onto her and she helps me align to let it go. Ive had traumatic experiences with chiropractors in the past but was able to move beyond and heal the old ways with her intuitive touch, constant reminders of my own agency in our relationship, and clear-transparent communication. Dr. Marie is a true healer and I am blessed to have crossed paths with her. Im so thankful- its like a miracle hidden from most! ✨✨ Dont miss out!

Comment: My acupuncturist referred me to Dr. Marie for the head and neck pain I was having. When I first met Dr. Marie, i immediately felt comfortable with her. She answered all my questions and when we talked about the different things that can happen as a result of your upper spine being out of alignment, I was blown away. She is very patient and really knowledgeable. My body is starting to heal and am very thankful for Dr. Marie.

Comment: Dr Marie does gentle adjustments with massive results. If you’ve been scared to go to a chiropractor because of all of the snap, crackle, and pop then don’t worry because Dr Marie has the most gentle of taps to your neck. My neck had been hurting for years and she was able to get me back together after a few visits. I highly recommend!

Comment: I started going to Dr. Marie because I was having shooting neck pain when I was working. I am a hairdresser and it was really starting to effect my ability to work. I had been to other chiropractors before but NUCCA felt very different. Right after the first adjustment I could feel that my neck felt lighter and I could move it easier. My hand numbness went away immediately and I noticed I didn’t have any neck pain while working. Dr Marie is amazing ! If you have neck pain she will fix you right up.

Comment: Dr.Marie Biek is a lovely person anda knowledgeable and skilledchiropractor. A few years back I got aconcussion and my skull/brain/neckhas never fully recovered. I wasdealing with headaches, from myneck to jaw and into my scalp. Manyother chiropractors have adjustedme, some causing more pain. So, Iwas a bit nervous at first. She helpedme see (with x-rays) that my upperspine was out of alignment, thenadjusted me using a gentle approachcalled NUCCA. It was not painful, yet,I could feel relief right away. It feltlike a weight had been lifted off theleft side of my head. At first I saw heroften, now I go in for monthly checkups to make sure my neck/spinestays in alignment. Her office isbright, clean, and she always greetsme with a big smile (under hermask). I trust Dr.Marie with my spine,you should too.

Comment: Dr. Maries NUCCA style of chiropractic care is the most gentle form of chiropractic I have experienced. Dr. Marie conducts a thorough intake to understand your health goals and issues, takes detailed xrays to understand your current body positioning, and then over a series of sessions conducts a very gentle adjustment to your upper neck. Her work was so gentle that I was wondering when the actual adjustment was going to happen ;) But when I stood up after treatment I could feel that everything had shifted -- my balance, blood flow to my head, and my vision a little bit as well. Dr. Marie has a warm and caring nature and a very thorough understanding of how the body works. If you are curious about chiropractic care and seeking a gentle approach to support your overall health (for preventive care or specific health concerns) then definitely give Dr. Marie a ring!

Comment: I highly, highly recommend. The NUCCA method is gentle and doesnt involve twisting or cracking! But it does align the uppermost vertabrae and as i put it, get your head straight. Its amazing the lightness, relief and ease of chronic pain (headaches, neck and back pain), and increased mobility Ive experienced from this method.

Comment: I wish I could give Dr. Marie 10 stars. She quite literally saved my life. I had a head injury, and after four months I was getting worse each day instead of better. Chronic migraine, vertigo, light sensitivity (none of which I had before I hit my head). I went to the ER twice, saw many MDs and none were able to help. After a few months of Dr. Maries care and advice, I am back to feeling like myself again. Dr. Marie is extremely knowledgable about the human body, she will also refer you to additional providers if needed.If you are someone who has a leg length difference, I would see her! I have had a leg length difference for the past 15 years at least, and now by fixing my spinal alignment, my legs are the same length. Even if its not directly causing you pain, it could be a sign you would benefit from NUCCA.Dr. Marie does an intake appointment and wont proceed with you as a client if she doesnt think she can help you. If youre in chronic pain, I would definitely give Dr. Marie a shot.Most importantly, NUCCA is safe and painless. I have seen traditional chiros in the past, and I feel so much safer about the NUCCA method that Dr. Marie uses as opposed to having my head and neck whipped around.

Comment: Dr. Marie is the best! I came to her with a knee injury and hip pain. I was highly skeptical of the NUCCA approach to chiropractic care. I thought my body needed twisting and cracking, but she proved me wrong. Dr. Maries approach is gentle and effective. I had to use a cane to get everywhere when I first saw her. My chronic pain stopped a few weeks after that, and I no longer need the cane. I dont know how to make it more clear than that! I highly recommend her!

I tried lots of different things that seemed to help for a short time but then stopped working. When I came to Marie she pinpointed the problem right away and within a few treatments I was seeing a huge improvement. I HIGHLY recommend her!

Comment: I never heard about NUCCA before, it was my second time visiting the chiropractor. I used to have this issue with my neck - I wasn’t able to turn my head to the right without having pain. After Dr. Marie did some X-rays and went over them with me, I received my first adjustment and right after that I was able to turn my head to the right, it was like a miracle! I highly recommend Dr. Marie, she is a great special and a very nice person!

Comment: After having some traumatic experiences with past chiropractors, especially with my low back injury, I was looking for a gentler practice to help heal my back pain. Dr. Marie has been amazing in helping me slowly, but surely, feel less chronic pain and getting me back to healthier mobility! Highly recommend for anyone that doesn’t want the traditional experiences of back cracking.

Comment: Im 74 years old and in good health. In the middle of the night I was awakened with severe pain in my legs and the bottoms of my feet, never before experienced. My legs were so sore I couldnt touch my legs together. The bottoms of my feet were needly and numb, but painful to walk on. A weekend on-call doctor was able to get me to remember a bad fall that I had 3 or 4 months previously, and she believed it was nerve damage related to spinal compression somewhere in my back or hips. Instead if going in for x-rays and cat scans, I decided to try a highly recommended chiropractor at Equilibrium, named Dr. Marie Biek.Dr. Marie also took x-rays and used her unique method of realigning the spine with a simple small amount of pressure on the top vertebra. She also works on various parts of the body that are having socket or bone problems, such as when my right shoulder that I had fallen on became the focus of intense pain, especially during the night, waking me up often. Pain and rehabilitation from a fall can be a long process, especially with nerve damage. But my recovery has been steady. I can walk comfortably again. My legs are finally completely healed, and the bottoms of my feet are improving. Now I trust my shoulder problems to her, and I can already tell things are improving.Dr. Marie is empathetic, an excellent listener, and a calmly optimistic person. She helps you through the rough spots of your recovery with her personality and thoughtful, forward thinking. I highly recommend her.-Michael Condon

It also helped relieve severe tingling of arms and hands that had gotten so bad it was interrupting my sleep.

Comment: Dr. Marie is the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. She’s so knowledgeable about how the body functions together as a whole, and I always leave feeling great. Her warm and welcoming spirit make it a pleasure to be in her office. As someone who has spent most of their lives going to chiropractors, the NUCCA method is the gentlest and by far the most effective at reducing pain and keeping my spine in the correct alignment for longer periods of time.

Comment: I was rear-ended in a auto accident in January 2020, by a sleeping driver, as I was coming to a stop at a light. The right side of my body, knee, hip and lower back was injured when I jammed on the brake after getting hit. Afterwards I started working with a PT while in pain. I couldn’t continue and gave up, went into depression. My husband helped me to see I needed to do something about my pain. I prayed for help. And then I went online and found this NUCCA. I was in so much pain, I was afraid of going to a traditional chiropractor but knew I needed someone to think of me as a whole person and not treat me as separate body parts with problems. This is how I met Dr. Marie Biek. She had great reviews. I saw she treated people as a whole person, so I contacted her and went to see her. She listened to me, she looked at me and I could see in her eyes she cared and could help. She told me she could help. I believed her. She is so warm and friendly and caring. So she did the preliminary work and took some x-rays of my head and upper spine then she adjusted my atlas. That was it. I got up and low and behold, I was walking straight and a lot of the pain was gone. I got home and my husband noticed I was not leaning any more. I had to call her and thank her. I continued going to her twice a week.Something I was doing or my pillow was causing me to come out of adjustment. She made some suggestions and I followed. So she did more x-rays, adjusted the angle and now I am holding. I am currently seeing an acupuncturist, Wanda of Kokora Accupuncture and between the two of them, I got my balance back! I am currently more stiff than in pain. I am on my way to feeling better.Thank you Dr. Marie, I really appreciate your caring, your love of people and your compassion.

Comment: Have you ever felt pain that persisted and looked for help and found it? I have! I was living with jaw pain and limited range of motion that was effecting my ability to chew and it had become a painful process to eat. I had never been to a chiropractor for care, and had not heard of NUCCA care when I was recommended to search for NUCCA doctors in the Bay and found Dr Marie. Our first visit was thoroughly eyeopening. Dr Marie brings calm and compassion, explains what is happening very skillfully, and addresses you directly and personally.I immediately experienced relief from the jaw pain after one single very gentle adjustment and committed to her care. The improvement has been incredible. I highly recommend Dr Marie and NUCCA, you will be amazed at how much better you feel!

Comment: Dr. Marie Biek was very kind and compassionate in treating my back and shoulder pain. She took the time to talk through my concerns on x-rays, met the constraints of my schedule with flexibility and ease, and showed real concern for my health and well being. After a few visits I was feeling relief. Although I really dont like going indoors during COVID, Dr. Bieks offices and safety practices were thorough and helped me feel safe throughout the entire experience. Thank you Dr. Biek!

Comment: I had a pain in my back running down my leg for months. I drive a bus for a living so I would notice the pain every day while driving. I thought this pain might be something that I would have to deal with permanently. My friend told me I should see Dr. Marie. I’ve never been to a chiropractor before so I was really sceptical and anxious about it. When I went in for my first appointment Dr. Marie did a really thourough assesment and X-rays which made me feel like really safe. I also learned a ton about how my alignment could be affecting my overall health. The next visit is when I got my adjustment and I can’t even describe how amazing it felt. This feeling was definetly not something I expected. As soon I got up off the table I felt lighter and walking was so much easier. I know it will sound weird but I also felt much clearer and like my senses were turned up a notch. Most importantly though when I was driving home after the adjustment, I didn’t feel any pain at all. I have honestly not felt that pain since that adjustment and I still cannot believe it. Anyone who has low back pain or leg pain you definitely need to try Dr. Marie. Her technique is unique and super effective!!

Comment: By far the best chiropractic care Ive had. The NUCCA technique works much better for me than the traditional chiropractic methods that have been applied over the years. My alignments are actually holding and my back pain has been greatly diminished. An added bonus is that Dr. Biek is a genuinely kind, compassionate, and personable human being, so each visit is an absolute joy. She gets my highest recommendation.

Comment: Dr. Marie has been the best chiropractor that I’ve seen, and one of the few doctors that shows she cares about her patients. I really like the NUCCA technique, as it has helped me with POTS symptoms (dizziness, low energy, brain fog, neck/back pain, joint pain) when other treatments & doctors that I’ve tried haven’t worked. I always leave her office feeling relaxed, aligned, and comfortable - all things that are pretty rare for me with POTS. She is extremely knowledgable about all parts of the body, and wherever I am having problems/pain, she is always there to listen and try to help (even suggesting other doctors/practitioners around the area if needed, but she usually solves the problem!)Overall, I definitely recommend Dr. Marie to anyone experiencing pain as she is smart and kind, and will help you come up with a plan.

Comment: Dr. Biek is very attentive and dedicated to getting to the bottom of any issues I am having. She clearly communicates what treatment she believes is necessary and delivers care in a gentle manner. She has helped me with posture and neck pain. She makes it easy to schedule appointments, no waiting months to get in! I would highly recommend Equilibrium Spinal Care for anyone!

Comment: I am very happy that I learned about Nucca and this unique chiropractic approach! After years of dizziness upon standing, brain fog, and sciatica with lower back pain, Dr. Marie Biek explained thoroughly to me how everything is correlated in the spine and the brain. She did a few adjustments and I could immediately feel a shift in my balance and coordination from the first adjustment. I have not had sciatic pain in months and my dizziness has significantly improved as well. Im so glad I had the opportunity to go to Dr. Marie during my time visiting Oakland. I would recommend her to anyone who has similar symptoms as I did. Shes very patient, helpful, and truly cares about her patients!

Comment: Dr. Marie is the perfect mix of compassion and clinical precision. From the minute I walked into her office I felt a warmth and deep sense of caring emanating from her as she asked me about my body and overall health. I was impressed with the amount of information and detail she gathered throughout the intake process, but most inspiring of all were the results. I noticed a distinct shift in my alignment after only one or two adjustments and I was amazed at how well they held after a short series of regular appointments.If you are looking for someone to take good care of you and set you straight (pun intended), I highly recommend Dr. Marie Biek.

Comment: I met Dr Marie at the Laurel Street Fair 2018. I was having pain in my joints, neck, shoulder...Id tried physical therapy, acupuncture and traditional chiropractic treatments without much success. After speaking with Dr Marie, I thought it would be worth it to try her specific type of chiropractic treatment so I started seeing her. One year later, I can say that I havent had to have any adjustments for the past couple months/visits.She really wants to help with your healing.I started seeing results after the first few visits.I would and do strongly recommend Dr Marie.Christina Piona

Comment: 5 years of chronic low back pain (I couldn’t sit for more than 10 minutes without being in a lot for pain, and MANY fruitless visits with my primary doctors, xrays, and physical therapy that lead me to some research about alternative solutions. I came across Nucca, this particular method of Chiropractic and I am so so happy to have found Dr. Marie Biek. The pain has resolved in a few months! She is awesome and extremely knowledgeable, treatments are quick and super gentle. I am so thankful for the care and success of the treatments. If you have any back pain, this is the way to go, for sure!

Comment: Dr. Marie is an extremely skilled, caring and knowledgable NUCCA practitioner, and I am so thankful to have found her!For the last 20 years, I have experienced persistent pain in several areas and havent been able to exert myself physically without experiencing sharp nerve pain and/or muscle spasming afterwards. I tried many different methods for relieving this pain, all with no positive or lasting effect.I eventually came to learn though NUCCA that I had quite a bit of spinal curvature and postural misalignment that was at the root of this. I was fascinated to learn about NUCCA, and that such subtle and gentle adjustments of the atlas bone, relieving pressure on the spinal cord, could over time support the bodys self-healing capacities and allow the body to realign.Dr. Marie really took the time to understand my unique skeletal pattern and all the factors contributing to my misalignment, as well as all the factors that could contribute to my healing. After only a few adjustments with Dr. Marie, I experienced relief from persistent long-term pain. After several months of seeing Dr. Marie, I was able to exert myself physically without having pain afterwards - and in ways that I never thought would be possible. I am very grateful to have found Dr. Marie and highly recommend that anyone experiencing chronic pain or other persistent health issues make an appointment to see Dr. Marie!

Comment: Dr. Marie is my hero! 👸🏼👸🏼👸🏼For many years, I suffered with a localized pain stemming from multiple surgeries - pain that I just accepted that I would live with for the rest of my life.With Dr. Marie’s continued, gentle NUCCA adjustments, I am 100% pain free; it was a gradual process - and it took a couple of months before I noticed a legitimate difference. Anytime I am experiencing discomfort or feeling like I am out of alignment, she makes herself available (even on a packed day of patients!) to make sure I get treated as soon as possible. Not many practitioners have this level of selfless dedication - and it shows!I am so grateful for Dr. Marie, the positivity she radiates and all of the healing she continues to spread.The highest of recommendations - thank you Dr. Marie!!!

Comment: I had been seeing a traditional chiro for over a year, to help resolve neck pain that has been an issue for me on and off since 2007. She recommended that I try NUCCA, since we had been seeing limited results.I was initially skeptical - the adjustment is SO slight, and so gentle compared to traditional chiropractic. You barely feel it. But as soon as I stand up from the table, my body feels different.Best of all, my neck is the most consistently pain-free it has been since 2007. I am regaining range of motion I thought I might never get back, I am sleeping better than ever, and Im able to re-integrate movements back into my workout routines that were off limits for a really long time.As a personal trainer, my body is my life, and it means the world to me to be able to move freely and explore new movement techniques. I am so grateful to have found Dr Marie! She is a grounded, compassionate, health-advocate with magic up her sleeves!-Hannah

Comment: I started seeing Dr. Biek after getting a concussion. I had headaches, brain fog, dizziness, weakness, and a bunch of other symptoms. I thought upper cervical chiropractic might help my recovery along. After the very first adjustment I could tell the difference: improved mental clarity and a more stable feeling in my body overall. Ive continued to improve over the past few weeks and look forward to seeing even more improvement the further I go with treatment. Dr. Biek was very careful in her initial analysis of my upper cervical spine and gave a good explanation of what she found in my x-rays. Shes also personable and a good listener and communicator. Its easy to make appointments and office visits are pleasant and efficient.

Comment: I am so glad to have found Dr. Marie and NUCCA! I started seeing her for postural issues, with hopes for getting help with chronic, mild pain in my left shoulder and right knee. I wanted to work with her and try NUCCA because it seemed to make sense for my neck curve (adjusting primarily the atlas,, the vertebra under the skull at the top of the spine), and because my previous experience with cracking chiropracty was that it was unpleasant and didnt hold. The treatments are quick, relaxing and easy. My posture is better with less effort, and my shoulder and knee pain is almost gone.After seeing her for a few months, I had two car accidents in a few weeks. Dr. Marie helped me though the affects of the accidents and it wasnt long before I was pain free again.I highly recommend Dr. Marie!

Comment: My husband and I are very pleased with our experience with Dr. Biek. We had no idea about this particular technique until we met with her. It proved us to be quite effective, it surprised us about how many symptoms can be relieved with using NUCCA - Thank You!

Comment: I had heard a lot of good things about Dr Marie and her NUCCA technique, after spending the last few years seeing other chiropractors and physiotherapists with very little progress I thought I would give her a call. Whilst serving in the military I suffered an accident which resulting in having Hip surgery, ever since that point I have been suffering with chronic Hip and back pain. My first appointment with Dr Marie, she took some X-rays of my neck and explained to me that my body was misaligned which was most likely causing the discomfort. After that initial examination she set to work and ever since My posture has improved, Ive stopped walking with a limp and the pain I was feeling has dramatically reduced. I cannot thank her enough for her advice and expertise and would recommend Dr Marie to anyone.

Comment: Dr.Biek, was extremely helpful in helping me understand the issue I had with my shoulder. I have been a bit skeptical about chiropractors in US before, but NUCCA technique she uses is different and more efficient that your normal chiropractic techniques.I could see/feel the difference after my 2nd adjustment. I would highly recommend her to anyone who has tried other techniques and hasnt been satisfied with their results.

Comment: Dr Marie is super knowledgeable, gentle and thorough. Her work speaks for itself; every time I see Dr Marie, I leave feeling relaxed and aligned. I feel physically more comfortable in my body than I ever have known possible! My posture is better, the pain in my neck and back disappears and I feel agile and strong!I went to a traditional chiropractor years ago and found it to be creepy and uncomfortable, but NUCCA is amazing! It feels like a more natural way to safely align the body without popping or cracking. Only a light touch results in all the bones of my body falling into place. Plus with NUCCA, I hold my alignment longer and don’t need adjustments as often.I highly recommend Dr Marie for all that ails you!

Comment: My experience with Dr. Marie is very positive. She is thorough, gentle, professional, and takes time to explain things in a way that is easy to understand. In the past I had seen regular chiropractors and this was my first time getting Nucca. I am pleasantly surprised at how much longer I can go in between appointments before feeling pain again. I definitely recommend her.

Comment: I would highly recommend a visit to see Doctor Marie at Equilibrium Spinal Care.My story - years of pain and discomfort, pressure in back of neck area, crooked shoulders and pain throughout my entire right side, through shoulder area, sacral tightness and pain, depression, some numbness, headaches, brain fog and chronic fatigue.Experienced whiplash in a car accident a few years ago that worsened things. Went through all types of body work, re-alignment therapy and exercises. These things all helped but never resolved the underlying issue. I heard about Nucca care but was concerned about going to just any doctor. Took my time finding the right doctor and have been on a path of healing since.Firstly she offers a free consultation where you can ask questions and learn about what she does and how she can help. I really liked that. The adjustments are very gentle and precise. Doctor Marie is very knowledgable and well trained. From my experience and observation its obvious she cares about her patients and what they are going through. She takes the time to really listen and understand whats going on before getting started.I refer to Dr. Marie as magic hands. After my first adjustment I felt a world of difference, instant relief from the tension in my neck and the body followed. My shoulders are now even for the first time since I can remember, my pelvis, my legs, all the pain on the right side is gone!!Thanks to Dr. Maries care I can now say I have a restored hope for a healthy body, outlook and quality of life.Im not one to write reviews often but my experience so far has been life altering and share worthy. I hope this can help anyone out there who might be suffering and looking for some lasting relief.Reasonable cost and quality care.. Thank you Doctor Marie!!

Comment: Dr. Marie is a wizard. I used to have chronic lower back pain and since starting treatment with her a few years ago, I have been completely pain free. Last week, I had a setback after doing too much lifting….my back felt tight, painful and vulnerable. Dr. Marie was able to fit me in to her busy schedule for 2 sessions and now the pain is completely gone. I am ever grateful for her skills!
