I had lived with pain and numbness for 10+ years and was meeting with a neurosurgeon with plans to surgically repair my spinal cord compression when Dr Miles and Olivera were recommended for me.I didn’t know I was out of alignment and had been since a childhood car accident and that the misalignment was the cause of the cord compression and constant pinched nerve. With their help I am able to live without constant pain and functional deficits. I thank God they are always there when life happens and I need realignment.

I've been under their care for 2+ years now and it has been a life altering experience. For at least 20 years, I had leaned to the left. I had a stance where my right foot would point outwards while simply standing or if I didn't position myself that way, my right leg would be bent forward, to mask the fact that I had a leg length discrepancy. I never once thought "ya know this could be something a chiropractor could fix". Instead, I chased my symptoms like foot, hip, or back pain.Finally, I was referred to Healthy Living by a local muscle therapist after not achieving everything I was hoping to with them. There is only so much you can do if your posture isn't aligned properly. Every team member here is first class and should be recognized as such. They go above and beyond what I've experienced in other doctor's offices, ensuring that the journey you're about to go on is something you can achieve.Dr Miles understands what it takes to run a facility that is welcoming and comfortable to patients. Upper cervical chiropractic care is not for everyone, and I have to constantly remind friends and family that no, "they don't crack my back every week" because that's not the answer. To me, it's a longer yet more fulfilling journey. In the past 2 years I've experienced everything from realizing just how crooked I was (my car seat kept digging into me and turns out I had twisted it over the years leaning left while driving....no kidding) to the wonderful feeling of being able to walk without pain in my right foot, which started this whole thing.Dr Autumn is one of those doctors you hope to find in a time of need. She's experienced in explaining the process and making me feel better when my muscles or nerves are just not happy some days. I'm lucky to have crossed paths with her over the past few years as I really don't know where I'd be otherwise. Probably still addressing the symptoms and not the cause of my pain.Big big shout out to the world class team at the front of the facility, Sarah and Amy. They've always been a huge help in working through scheduling, invoicing, and the nerve tests. They truly care about the wellbeing of everyone who walks in their doors.And if you're reading this wondering how the new doctors who have joined the facility in 2025 are, rest assured they're a wonderful addition. I've seen Dr Rebecca when I needed a little tune up in my back and she was great! Dr Sylvia has been fun to talk to and while I haven't had the chance to work with her yet, she's super smart and just another reason to check this place out.If you're on the fence about giving them a call, please know that should not be an issue. They're one of the best doctors I've been to, chiropractic or otherwise.
