Reviews By Our Satisfied Patients

  • "Had a super positive experience. Great to have a qualified chiropractor in the network who gives superb adjustments with great technique and real care for the customer. First time I have had a follow up call from the Doctor just to check on me. Nice touch."
    Derrick M., Palmyra, VA
  • "Cantu and his staff is excellent. I had a problem with my lower back and after a few visits, I was finally back to normal. Dr. Cantu understood the whole problem and easily pin pointed how to fix it and get everything back to normal. I was in and out very quickly for every visit. He did everything needed and then some. He's great and so is his staff. I will certainly go back when needed and always recommend his name."
    Chris E., Troy, VA
  • "The Chiropractic Office promptly, effectively, and professionally addressed my chiropractic needs. The doctors and staff are courteous and friendly. If I need chiropractic treatment in the future, I will definitely go there again."
    Terry L., Barboursville, VA
  • "Over the past 35 years I have had the good fortune to meet and know Dr. Walker both professionally and as a patient. His expertise and focus on the patient is outstanding. Over the past 10 yrs I have also met and appreciated the skills and knowledge of Dr. Cantu who has looked after me and my family as has Dr. Walker. I have referred many of my patients to the practice because I knew that they would be treated extremely well and never be taken advantage of. I still feel the same about them."
    Dr. Ajgaonkar, M.D. (Retired), Charlottesville
  • "I have been a patient for several years. They are totally focused on healing your body! I have been in the position where I was barely able to get in the door. And in just one treatment, feeling much better. I totally trust these guys with my back pain and Health."
    Edwin H., Keswick, VA
