They gave me 2 long orientations like 3 hours each and they charged me. Almost a $100 bucks each. That is not treatment. That's a rip off.. And they waited until the very last moment to tell me how much it would cost for spinal decompression. It's like blackmail, they are very Caniving and deceptive..

I struggled finding a chiropractor after my car accident. After failed attempts, I was referred to RiverCity Chiropractic by a colleague. Best decision I have made for my recovery. They are a family feel, you can tell every staff member in the office cares about each person walking in, and for me personally, I have felt the results from coming consistently. Although my treatment is not complete, I am feeling better than I did months ago and I look forward to continuing my care here. Dr. C is very personable, energetic about his mission to provide such high care and makes sure he’s providing the knowledge and education needed to guide me through my recovery, which is more than most physicians will do! I highly recommend them to everyone!

After my auto injury, I received chiropractic treatment at River City for ~4 months for a total cost of $7700 (~$500 I paid out of pocket) - most paid by insurance company. My health has improved, but my back is not back to normal - I still have back pain everyday. The doctor and staff are nice, but it was not a good value relative to time and money spent. I followed doctor’s orders - started by coming in 4 times a week, then twice; I understand chiropractic doctor is not a miracle worker, but I expected better results considering the high price paid and so many hours I spent doing everything I was told. I was in quite a bit of pain during the first month and doctor did not do much to alleviate it - few times he allowed the cold laser therapy done, which helped, but besides an adjustment and some exercises, he didn’t have other suggestions.
