WHAT PATIENTS ARE SAYING

At 32 weeks pregnant I was experiencing extreme back pain and discomfort. I went and saw Dr. Larissa to see if any type adjusting would help ease my pain.

My entire experience was very relaxing. Dr. Larissa set me at ease and made me feel very comfortable throughout my entire session. She talked through things as she was doing them and always making sure I was comfortable.

I left feeling relief in places I didn’t even know we’re bothering me! Not only did she adjust me, but she taped my belly to help with the weight I was feeling in the front. I would recommend Schabel Performance to everyone!

Dr. (Nick) Schabel holds more knowledge about rehabilitation and pain management than any other professional or physical therapist I have ever been to. What really helped me was Active Release Technique- treating the soft tissue, which eliminated my pain and allowed Dr. Schabel to assist me with strengthening exercises to fix the problem, not just treat the symptoms. I am now pain free and the right muscles are working to prevent this injury from flaring.

As an athlete and working in the medical field I was very hesitant to go to a chiropractor. I was in so much pain from a re-occurring back injury that I was afraid I would have to quit working out or take time off of work. I didn’t have to do either! Dr. Schabel uses a holistic approach. He is concerned with my over health. He helped me with edema management from a bruise I had, scar management, as well as reviewing blood work I had done to offer suggestions. He also asks about the workouts I am doing and gives suggestions to improve form, and increase function.

Hands down, I would recommend Dr. Schabel to everyone! On top of the great service, the office is really nice and clean and it is very easy to schedule appointments!

I had suffered with sciatic pain for years. I had been to other chiropractors that did an adjustment but never relieved my pain. My physician prescribed pills but I didn’t want to take them everyday. Then I met Dr. Larissa and it changed my life!

She worked on my back issue and for the first time in years I am pain free. She also relieved the pain from my De Quervain’s. She really cares about her patients and their overall health. I have recommended her to family and friends.

Marie R.
Dr. Larisa is the greatest. I have suffered from migraines and neck pain for several years and had visited chiropractor after chiropractor. I had her card from a visit she had made to our office at our wellness fair and decided I would go see her. WOW. I cannot say enough with just a few visits what a relief she has given me. Not the norm chiropractor. She takes time with each visits and actually listens to you. Wish I had found her sooner. Thank you for giving my life back to me.

Dr. Nick made such a difference in my ear issues!! Clogged hearing, a little off balance and echo all disappeared within an hour of an ear adjustment and sinus drain! MUCH more effective than a prescription! Thanks so much!!
