What Our Patients Say

On my first visit, I met Dr. Sodhi. I have been to another chiropractor/physio clinic in the past but so far none can be compared to this. I am saying this because the way Dr. Sodhi listened to my problem and chalked out a therapy plan to fix the issues was exceptionally commendable. He was not like others who jumped right into giving you chiro sessions. Indeed, he follows a proper strategy, diagnose you very well and has a plan to solve your chiropractic needs. I am looking forward for my sessions as planned. Thank you Dr. Sodhi.

Dr. Mistry is the best Chiropractor I've ever been treated by. I came with a very painful lower back issue, and he gave me intelligent treatment that was more like physiotherapy that involved chiropractic care. I have a very physical job, and with his help I was able to continue there without taking time off.
