Report
I was in a neck brace and had MRI and CT and was told I needed surgery for my cervical spondylosis. I was in pain from years of working at a computer but the pain was so intense now I couldn't take it. All the Doctors I've seen just want to prescribe pain meds and Surgery was my last resort as I work at a hospital and hear horror stories. I had seen a couple Chiropractors and they didn't do anything for me.
A co-worker recommended Dr. Penniston, so I made an appointment and so glad I took one last leap of faith because after just a couple visits I left pain free after years and years of constant pain I couldn't believe it. He really was my Life line. His knowledge of body mechanics is unprecedented. It's been years and I haven't had to have surgery and if I start to feel any pain I make an appointment and leave pain free. He has done more for me than any other Health care worker I've seen.

The doctor has changed my life. Worth every penny. Great bedside manner. I get all my supplements from here as I know they are great quality. My life is much better since he is in it

This place is amazing! I have lived with hip, back and leg pain for over 20 years and Dr Penniston found the route of the problem and treated me. I went about 6 times, he gave me stretches to do daily and I now only go to stay in alignment. I wish I would have discovered him years ago. What a life changer.

Greg is very good at manipulation. He is not like the cracker packers that I have gone to before. Very gentle in adjustments. He believes in muscle testing and even though it seems weird it works and so do the supplements. I have been going to Lifeline for many years and have recommended Greg to several of my friends. He is the only Chiropractor that I have not had to visit on a regular basis, which to me means that he is doing a great job. I go for a tune up about every other month. Really would recommend to anyone who needs a good chiropractor.

This is a true 5+ star business! Anyone can rate a place 5 stars based on one treatment, but I'm talking about a lifetime of wonderful care here. I have had some "funky" issues throughout my life so far, and he has always been the one to provide me with answers and a plan to get better. If you need help, especially if you're sick of being sent from one specialist to the next, make an appointment!
