I walked in on a busy day and they made time for me as well as educated me on what was going on and causing my back pain. Then they inspected the rest of my body in detail to ensure there were no other underlying issues that needed to be addressed. The staff was very prompt and helpful and answered all my questions very quickly and professionally.

Even though my first visit was only an initial assessment I was amazed at how much I learned of everything that was causing my current situation. Thanks to this I am taking more steps to be proactive with my body maintenance.

I have been dealing with sciatica pain for a few years. I called Dr. Acton's office and I was really nervous about going but when I walked into the office the staff and Dr. Acton put me at ease, he went over everything with me and made it easy to understand. After the first adjustment I felt so much better I cant wait to see how I feel once my treatments are complete. I would recommend Dr. Acton to anyone who is suffering with any type of back pain.

I came in with some bad scoliosis and pretty bad daily pain. This team was super welcoming, loving and incredibly professional. They showed me x-rays, helped me get back on track and showed me how much my back has changed in the few months that I've been coming to this place. My back is completely pain free, which is a miracle. I feel like my whole body is back in balance and I am extremely grateful! -Laura Torres

Dr. Acton is one of the most friendly caregivers I have encountered. The care that he and Joanie have shown my family are indescribable. The love that they exhibit towards our son is truly cherished.

I highly recommend Acton Chiropractic. I was a skeptic of chiropractic care and my daughter convinced me to try it. I have fibromyalgia and was convinced I would just have to deal with the pain. Dr. Acton has treated me and I can honestly say I now have pain free days. The staff are wonderful and so helpful. Dr. Acton is very knowledgeable and explains everything in a way that makes so much sense. This is the place you want to go if you are concerned about your health and well being.

I highly recommend Dr Acton and his wonderful staff! I have been dealing with lower back and upper neck problems since my early 20s, since coming to see Acton chiropractic, I have never felt better! It allows me to be free, mentally and physically. It allows me to continue to Run, workout, chop wood and dance and play frisbee every weekend! When my physical health is good then my mental health is better. Dr Acton is filled with knowledge and he loves to share it, he makes youfeel like you should, important.

He listens very well to what you tell him about your body, and uses that information. I absolutely trust him and I am confident with his work. Joanie and Rachel are wonderful people! I get greeted with love and kindness. I feel like I'm family when I'm there, my visits there always brighten my day. I highly recommend Acton chiropractic for all ages, chiropractic help has allowed me to be 43 and still feel like I'm 21! Thank you Acton Chiropractic.

Exactly a year ago this month I walked into Acton Family Chiropractic, referred by a friend, with a pain in my left side. The pain had been off and on for ten years in my arm down to my waist. Dr. Acton met with me and said that he would let me know if he could help me or not after x-rays were taken. Well, he did help over the next three months he gradually aligned my spine.

I do go back monthly for an adjustment to maintain my spine or eventually it would return to the same issue I was having before. I no longer have the pain on my left side. Thank you! Dr. Acton and your wonderful team Joanie and Rachel.

I was in a great deal of pain and discomfort from a previous accident that lead me to Dr. Acton's office for treatment. I was nervous at first. I had never been to a chiropractor before and did not know exactly what they actually do. Dr. Acton and his beautiful assistant Rachel explained every step of my treatment. She told me that after being adjusted I would want to come back.

Guess what? I DID! The vibe there is AMAZING! They really treat you like family and really care about your overall health. Mrs. Acton is the BEST! She is the sweetest lady you'll every meet when you walk in the door. Her warm smile and welcoming greetings make you feel at home. The treatment I have received has impacted my life greatly in so many ways.

If you're looking for excellent treatment and great conversations with a patient-centered vibe and ready to get your life back on track, let me tell you, Acton Chiropractic is where you should! I love it there! I am so grateful. This experience has been a unexpected BLESSING that has changed my life for the better. Dr. Acton I can not thank you enough for all that you have done for me, thank you!

Excellent and caring staff. Have been going to several different chiropractors in the area and Dr. Acton's has definitely been the best. He has helped me with my back when two other chiropractors could not make a difference. I have been blessed to have tried this practice.

Where to begin when praising Dr. Acton's practice? I have been going to chiropractors for 60 years so can say that I have never experienced a doctor with such enthusiasm and passion for his patients' health. In his desire to educate, he sends out short videos which are filled with great advice. The initial evaluation was so thorough and enlightening for me, involving tests that employed state-of-the-art technology.

The digital X-rays enabled me to clearly see the condition of my spine and other skeletal areas and the need for further adjustments. He is always open to questions and discussion and his friendly staff treat me like family. It doesn't hurt that there is an amazing masseuse there too. I always look forward to going to Dr. Acton's clinic for my monthly dose of health!

We have been going to Acton Family Chiropractic for many years now. Dr. Acton is amazing! The office staff are very friendly and you always feel welcome and "part of the family". Our youngest son has scoliosis and Dr. Acton has been able to treat and work with him. Each week he says, "mom, I think I need an adjustment because I feel so much better after Dr. Acton works on me!" My husband and oldest son have also received treatments from Dr. Acton. We can always tell a huge difference after our treatments. We highly recommend Acton Family Chiropractic! Schedule your appointment today!

This team of professionals has been nothing short of amazing working with my Grandfather(95 yrs young). Helping him with adjustments of course but they also understand what a caretaker goes through and really help their patient navigate the road to recovery. My Grandfather is so thankful and so am I. Heaven sent. Thank you all Team Acton.

The staff at Acton Family Chiropractic are always pleasant and extremely helpful. They are knowledgeable and support a holistic approach to healthcare. The staff help patients learn how to care for themselves in their daily routines. Being a nurse, it is extremely important to me to avoid surgeries on my spine if at all possible. Many patients have shared with me that their experience with spinal surgery was difficult and a chronic issue.

Many have shared stories about undergoing spinal fusions just to have another area of the spine become weakened causing a new set of symptoms and challenges. My experience at Acton Family Chiropractic has been very good. Within the first couple visits, I was able to sleep through the night because my pain was much better controlled. I haven't had a fall since I started my treatments at the office. My overall health has improved quite a bit in just over a month. I highly recommend Dr. Acton and his staff to anyone needing Chiropractic care. They are wondeful!

Best Chiropractic Care Ever. I have went to a variety of places looking for answers before I came to Acton. Dr. Acton's in depth approach and wealth of knowledge has made my care the best and most enjoyable. It is a great environment and the staff is wonderful. I highly recommend them to everyone and especially people who are having back pain.

Dr. Acton is an amazing Chiropractor. He is the first doctor that I have been too that wants to find the real reason behind your issues and essentially solve them from the inside out! He has a passion for Chiropractors that he is able to translate to his patients in a way that they really understand what is happening. The Acton Family team is extremely welcoming and work hard to make every patient feel comfortable.

I wanted to go through my first treatment before writing my review. I'd like to start by saying, that Acton Family Chiropractic is the most comprehensive practice I've ever been to. The entire staff is amazing and you'll feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The full panel of X-rays before treatments really clarified what needed to be addressed.

The worst thing you can do is ignore your pain and let time go by. They're very upfront about their treatment plans as well, so no hidden costs. I feel so much better than I did 4 weeks ago and now I have the knowledge to continue improving. Just go and see for yourself.
