Switched from another practice to Morningstar, and was blown away by the difference in treatment and time spent with patient. Super easy to get on the schedule! First, I was evaluated, including x-rays, then came back for a complete run-down on my treatment options. Everything was explained thoroughly! Really looking forward to the healing/recovery of my back & neck! Highly recommend!

Doctor Morningstar is awesome! My whole family has started seeing him in the last couple months. I had a head on collision while driving 3 years ago. I was in incredible, constant pain. Doc Andy took X-Rays and consulted me about my injury. I was fortunate that I didn't wait too much longer as I was headed for surgery and a fused spine. After the first adjustment, the pain was gone. After a couple months of treatment, I am confident that I will make a full recovery. During this period of treatment, I noticed my daughter was complaining of back pain and had a lump where her neck meets her shoulders that was so painful, you couldn't touch it. I took her in with me one day to get a checkup. Her spine was in worse shape than mine from a childhood accident. She fell to a concrete floor when she was 8 months old, and still has the mark on her forehead. Well, this accident caused serious trauma to her spine. Had I not had a car accident, I wouldn't have connected my daughter's pains to her childhood accident and sought help through a chiropractor. She immediately responded to treatment and is doing awesome! It is really been life-changing for her because she has been plagued by this injury as long as she has been alive. She has never known what it was like to be "normal." She is 10 years old and will be able to enjoy the rest of her life without pain or spinal complications. About this same time, I noticed my 70 year old mother was not able to turn her head very much while driving. Mom also complained that her hands would go numb from typing at the keyboard. I suggested she get a checkup too. Doc Andy took X-Rays. Mom had two of her vertebrae fused since birth and many other complications as a result (sublixations, forward-head posture, and a couple of discs that had started to degenerate). After just a couple of adjustments, Mom came home one day after shopping with no pain. She was so happy that she could look behind her to back out of a parking spot! It really is the little things in life that make me happy. Doctor Morningstar has saved my life, and my family from a life of pain. Not to mention all of the other benefits of having good spinal health (good posture, more energy, just a better quality of life in general). If you are reading this, you are probably considering treatment yourself. I would highly recommend Doctor Morningstar to you. He, and his caring staff, are gentle and understanding. The initial consultation was free, and the cost of care is nominal when compared to the cost of surgery or the misery of living in pain. "If you have your health, there is nothing you cannot do. Without it, there is nothing you can do"

My daughters and I have been going to Dr. Morningstar for multiple reasons for months now. One of my daughters was bucked off a horse a couple of years ago, my other daughter has migraines, and I have problems with my tailbone, back and nerve damage near my eye. All of our conditions have improved thanks to Dr. Morningstar! When we first went to him, he took x-rays and was very thorough with our health history. He then showed us our x-rays and images to demonstrate where our problems are. Next, he proposed a treatment plan that includes things to do at home to speed up recovery! After a pre-determined number of visits he took new x-rays and showed us how much improvement we have made. I was amazed at the great amount of improvement! We all felt so much better! Some time after we started treatment, he added K-Laser Therapy to his arsenal. I have been suffering severe nerve damage (postherpetic neuralgia) near my eye from shingles for a few years and he offered to try laser treatment to see if it would give me relief. I was amazed, I had relief from my postherpetic neuralgia pain that day! My pain doctor was impressed that I was able to decrease my pain meds after having to increase the dose periodically for 3 years now! Every once in a while I do something that aggravates my back or tailbone and in just a visit or two I am back in business. I previously went to a different local chiropractor that I wasn't happy with. I am so glad I happened to choose Dr. Morningstar!

I have been going to Dr. Morningstar for about 15 years. I first went because of falling off a horse and the pain I was in. The adjustments greatly improved my ability to move around without pain and also helped the scoliosis in my thoracic spine. Dr. Morningstar is the best thing that ever happened to my back. When I start feeling a little off now, I know it is time to see him.

Dr. Morningstar is an awesome Chiropractor! I had horrible pain in my back, hips, and neck when I started going to Morningstar about 3 years ago. I couldn't sit, drive, or even lay down comfortably! Now not only have my symptoms subsided, but my neck has started moving back to its original position. After a small series of car accidents, I was certain my body would never be the same. I never imagined my reverse curve ever looking normal or even mildly normal. Dr. Morningstar impresses me. I set out to find a chiropractor who really cared about their patients and not just about the money or the insurance company. My search is complete! I've been here a long time and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon. I'd recommend Morningstar Chiropractic to my best friend, my husband and even my Grandma!
