I've had scoliosis my whole life, which progressed to spondylolisthesis and stenosis in my lower back. After a car accident in 2022 I was left with disc issues that caused pressure on my piriformis and sciatic nerve. My pain was a consistent 7 out of 10 and while I received minor temporary relief from other forms of treatment from various specialists, it wasn't until I switched to Dr Chris that I began new methods of treatment to approach this situation. I have found more relief that has been progressive. I am thrilled that I can now tolerate standing and movement for more than 20 minutes at a time-- I can now be on my feet for up to 2 hours before needing a break and the pain isn't as chronic as it was, in addition to now being a 3-4 out of 10 most days. I can also tolerate brisk walking for 12-15 minutes! I am grateful for my progress and happy to finally feel like I am moving in a positive direction thanks to Dr. Chris 🙏🏽

For anyone looking for a chiropractor, Dr. Chris Prewo is the one. From their family friendly environment (I bring two young kids with me during my appointments), to their caring staff, Westside is the place to go. From sports injuries to general wellness, they have you covered. They have flexible scheduling that works for everyone too.

Dr. Shepherd has made a tremendous difference in my son’s health. My 7 year old had a chronic cough and was repeatedly at the pediatrician’s office for steroids to help him breathe. Dr. Shepherd was able to find the problem and heal him naturally. She listens and genuinely cares about her patients.

I have been a patient of Westside Chiropractic of Tolland for 15 years. Since that time, Dr. Prewo and Dr. Shepherd have lovingly cared for my entire family, including elderly parents. Their care for chronic and acute conditions has helped my children overcome/manage health conditions and heal/prevent sports injuries. Their expertise has kept me from needing spinal surgery. Dr. Prewo checks in and advises me on my fitness routine and Dr. Shepherd's holistic approach makes me feel like I just left a spa treatment.

I began seeing Dr. Prewo a few months back for severe lower back pain. It had gotten to the point where everyday activities had become a burden, like getting out of bed or getting up from my chair. The stiffness and pain were quickly taking away my quality of life. The last few months have been transformative. The pain is gone and the flexibility has returned. I'm living a normal life again. Thank you Dr. Prewo for all your help. In addition, the staff is quite friendly. Two thumbs up for Westside Chiropractic!

Dr. Prewo’s guidance and intervention through chiropractic care has been transformative. For multiple years I have experienced ongoing pain, decreased range of motion and inability to achieve and maintain the active lifestyle I desire without pain. I sought medical intervention through multiple modalities with minimal and temporary results. I am thankful for the recommendation of a friend to seek care with Dr. Prewo. He spent time to fully assess and understand the extent of my pain. He explained his suggested care plan thoroughly. Dr. Prewo’s care is gentle, progressive and restorative. He thoughtfully answers questions making sure his feedback is understood and checks in regularly to assure continued progress and understanding. Dr. Prewo is fully engaged with his office staff who work as a team to provide a genuine and caring wholistic approach and personalized care. I am grateful for Dr. Prewo’s expertise and talent; I highly recommend his approach and care for others.

Dr. Prewo has treated me over the years for problems with my back,shoulders,hip,and leg.After a few treatments,and following his advice on exercises,I always end up pain free!! Everyone in the office is very welcoming and professional.Highly recommend this practice.

Had lower back nerve ablation surgery after 2 years of pain, without success, so I decided to try a chiropractor. Dr. Prewo was highly recommended by trusted friends, and he impressed me when he said “I’m not touching you until I see your X-rays.” Within a few weeks of treatment, I was almost back to normal. After a month of adjustments and stretching exercises, there is still minor pain, but I can walk, work out, and I recently survived an 11 hr. drive to VA and back. Gratitude and Kudos to Dr. Prewo.

Chronic headaches/migraines along with neck pain prompted me to see Dr Prewo. After a few months, I no longer need Advil on a daily basis. The results have been life changing. And the office staff is amazing and so accommodating!

I have been coming here for the last 3 months or so, i had initially come in because I was dealing with the worst of headaches and had no idea what it could be. I workout 5-6 days a week while also being disabled limited to a wheelchair and crutches. Due to all this I put a lot of stress on my body that others may typically not. Anyways, I found the root of my headaches and it was tension. I can now say that after coming to WC I can say my headaches have resided due to the amazing treatment I have received. If you are going through a similar situation please don’t hesitate to come to this place as the staff is great and the treatment does work!!!!

I’ve been coming here for years and the treatment for my lower back has been great. If you stick to a schedule and keep coming the improvement and lack of pain improves your quality of life!

Had really bad neck pain, low mobility, couldn’t drive or go to work without severe pain. Going 2-3 times a week for a few weeks improved pain and mobility. By two or three months my upper body strength and posture also improved. When being treated for neck pain I injured my lower back and consistent treatments helped me get back up and moving. Super welcoming staff, very friendly and helpful, highly recommend this office!!

I am so happy Dr. P came into my life. As an athlete I am constantly battling injuries. I have a chronic calf issue and Dr. P is the only one that has been able to help. I have been to PT numerous times. We discovered my back bone is curved so my hips are off. Due to my calf injury I am constantly injuring myself. Dr. P scrapes all the old scar tissue and makes it feel so much better. He has allowed me to continue running. I highly recommend Westside Chiropractic.

Very professional office. Staff is very friendly and helpful and responsive. Addressed my issues with great results.

Dr Prewo's insight has change the way I move and manage my activity. Been going to him on and off for years. My range of motion and discomfort has greatly imported.Wish I started incorporating chiropractor as part of my regular maintenance for my health before I did.

I was scheduling neurosurgery on my lower back at the beginning of COVID when suddenly everything was indefinitely postponed. I had not considered chiropractic treatment, but had tried PT, exercises, bed rest and injections, and nothing helped. I had been nearly immobile for over 6 months, my muscles were atrophying and I was in constant pain. I knew I couldn’t make it a few more months, so I called Westside Chiropractic. I saw Dr. Chris Prewo who asked me to get X-rays. A couple of days later I was there for treatment. On the very first visit, I improved 90%! I never got the surgery! I am back to doing most of the activities I have always enjoyed. I would say that I am 95% better. I see Chris once every week or two as needed. I try to do the stretches and exercises he recommended, and I’m starting to get back to the gym still wearing a mask. I went from not being able to walk from my bed to the car, to walking the dog two miles a day! I’ll downhill ski again this winter just not take too many moguls, and I take it slow. I garden, swim, sail, and windsurf in light winds. I now avoid building stone walls, lifting, jogging, anything else too repetitive. And I now have a good excuse for not raking leaves or shoveling snow! I would say I’m 95% cured and I am very grateful and thankful to Westside Chiropractic and Dr.Prewo! Ann Bonney, Vernon

I have been subject to my back going out every so often, with the accompanying pain. I chose Dr. Prewo because he was right around the corner, and his treatment did the trick. I also recommended him to my wife, who was having extreme pain in her back and hips - she could barely walk! Once again, Dr. Prewo worked his magic on her. Thanks, Doc and staff!

2023-10-17T19:48:20.423Z

Dr Chris is the first chiropractor of many over the past 30 years to finally identify how “stuck” I was! I am now moving and feeling so much better! I can’t thank him enough!!!

Dr. Prewo has been a wonderful resource for alleviating my chronic back and neck pain. I’ve also grown 1.5” since I started working with him. Very impressive considering that I am 46 years old.
