Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness

I feel like I have had neck replacement surgery!
My neck was injured in a very slow speed fall while snowboarding about 19 years ago and it has never been the same since. I have tried many chiropractors, acupuncture, cupping, massage, yoga and pilates as well as several rx and otc pain meds to get relief. Flexeril did a great job, but I feel a little wobbly for a day and a half and I don’t want the other risks and side effects of rx meds.
The neck traction I get at Nokomis chiropractic is the best thing I have come across to get some lasting pain relief for my neck. Dr. Olson is very straight forward and connects very easily with his patients. He embodies the ideals of fitness and healthy living. The office has a great energy to it and the staff are very welcoming and professional.
They usually have some kind of new patient special, so give them a try, you will be glad you did. I have tried dozens of chiropractors, and I have had some very good ones, but I never had neck traction before I came here to Nokimis. For me, it is the best!

Love the environment! They are interested in helping you get a healthy spine and a healthy life. They aren’t as pressuring financially as other providers. They can work with your schedule!

Ever since ive been getting readjustments from dr matt and dr olson my headaches have been significantly better! Their massage therapists Moby and Jim are also really amazing! I HIGLY recommend!

Dr. Olson and Dr. Matt are knowledgeable and their adjustments are something I look forward to every week. Dana is great, she answers all my insurance questions. Anne at the front desk is so on the ball and efficient as well as be very nice. Christine is always a pleasure during warm-​ups. Also their masseuse Jim is awesome. He can find sore muscles that you did even know needed attention.

Unfortunately my experience here was not a positive one. My impression was that the operation here takes a bit of a one-​size-​fits-​all approach: everyone gets (or is pressured to get) full x-​rays, everyone does the «group workout» & it seemed like traction & head weights are prescribed pretty much across the board as well. The hard sell to book 3 – 4 appointments per week was the biggest turn off for me. While they insist this is the standard of care within the industry, I didn’t find it financially or logistically sustainable, even with a flexible work schedule & decent insurance.
The gal at the desk is extremely sweet & the X-​ray, workout (it’s more like a mini physical therapy session) & frequent adjustment schedule probably works well for some people, based on the fact that this place is always busy, but it didn’t work for me.
Luckily, I found a different chiro in the area that has a way more personalized/​natural healing approach in a more zen, private, non gym-​like setting, who has diagnosised the root cause of my pain without x-​rays & helped to alleviate my pain using the more caring/​holistic approach I was looking for.
I am always hesitant to write reviews for establishments that provide healthcare, because I understand that every body is so different & there are so many variables that come into play to determine whether or not healing takes place. As my review emphasizes, this chiropractic setting did not work for me. If you want an x-​ray work-​up & then a blend of physical therapy & frequent adjustments, this may be just the place for you. Best of luck in your quest to find the right provider!

I love this place!
There are many chiropractic offices in my city! But I choose Nokomis Chiropractic and Wellness! I will drive the extra half hour to be here! Great doctors and great staff!
