Rick Sproule, DC

I wish I could give 10 stars. Rick has greatly improved my father’s quality of life. Don says ‘I’m off to see the wizard’ as he leaves to see Rick, and I say little prayers of thanks every time my dad returns smiling from your visits. My father literally could not walk when we convinced him to try my husband’s chiropractor, Rick. I am so thankful for his excellent treatment of my father, physically and emotionally;-). My Dad’s painstakingly written review follows:
«Rick Sproule is efficiently professional, kind and caring with trustworthy experience. Since Feb 28^th my back had been sore affecting my right leg. April 22^nd my right leg failed me causing a fall in my garage onto my right hip (thankfully unbroken). April 24^th, doing my best Quasimoto impression, being helped/​dragged by my son-​in-​law (a patient of Dr. Rick), I began treatment. Rick even kindly loaned me a pair of crutches.
With Rick’s ministrations, by May 10^th I was able to return the crutches, and after treatments every other day since April 24^th, I was shakily vertical, and felt the best since before Feb 2013.
Today, July 3^rd, I celebrate my own independence by becoming truly bipedal again.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Sproule 3 times a week for almost 3 months, and what a difference in the pain levels from when I 1^st started. Now I have days with no pain at all. Thank you Dr. Sproule!

The Dr. Sproule «C.R.» writes about below is not the Dr. Sproule I have come to know and trust. I belonged to Spa Fitness and had recently undergone surgery for repair of a herniated disc. Though the surgery helped, I still experienced recurrent pain. I introduced myself to Dr. Sproule, himself a gym member, and told him of my problem. He invited me in for evaluation and it is one of the best invites I have ever accepted. He diagnosed the problem and through regular visits I am virtually pain free. Now, understand that I am a former automobile insurance adjuster and was skeptical of chiropractors until I met Dr. Sproule. I can honestly recommend him without reservation.

I happened upon Dr Sproule by accident and feel extremely fortunate that I did. I was having knee pain that had gotten so bad that I went from running marathons 8 years ago to having trouble going up or down a flight of stairs. My knees are nearly pain free in less than a month! Furthermore, we did X-​rays when I mentioned my back hurt and I was developing bad posture. Dr Sproule discovered that my L-​5 vertebra was severely out of position. Since he has been working on it I’m feeling much more flexible and pain-​free. He is very gentle, with an excellent «bedside manner», he has been getting results, and his fees are very reasonable!

I went to this office at the ripe age of 20, I was suffering from some muscle spasms for about 3 weeks, the office was attractive and right next to the grocery store I shopped at.
Rick Sproule took an x-​ray and told me I was in need of immediate attention, he said I needed to come in 3 times per week. Without prompting, Sproule told me he wanted to give me the treatment I needed so bad and that he would give me what amounted to 80% off his services.
After one-​month I was convinced that he was WAY TO VIOLENT of a chiropractor, I had never had expierience with a DC so it took me a while to realize he was damaging the hell out of my spine.
Now in hindsight after a microdiscectomy and three cortisone injections to help heal 3 ruptured discs and a spinal cyst, which were coincidentially at the levels sproule was deadset on manipulating in my lower back and neck: I have to say, Dead Honest, If I could go back and change one thing in my life it would be to have never trusted Sproule.
After one month of his treatments I was feeling sciatic pain that I never had before and my neck was crunching, these spinal injuries progressed over the course of a couple years and I eventually could not walk because of the pain, numbness and atrophy in my leg.
It is my fault for not immediately seeking medical attention after I went to Sproule, because if I had I might have saved my sciatic nerve from permenant damage.
If anyone reading this does not believe me, including Sproule himself, please note that his office mate DC Love is extremely gentle (I saw him once when Sproule flaked on one of our appointments) and he is the man to see if you want to get ‘adjustments’.
Also I will authenticate my review with the fact Rick Sproule became a chiropractor after he slammed into a cliff and broke his back hang-​gliding.
I also have a scar on my spine and permenent numbness in my leg to prove my ordeal.
Anyone with back issues, please trust me as I have been through the gambit, the best way to fix a problem and improve your life is to find the best Physical Therapist you can and bust your butt everyday doing core excercises.
