First time there. Everyone was great and made me feel comfortable. Dr. Gustafson is knowledgeable and gave me a painless adjustment. I felt great after my appointment. Aug.25th My first appt. was great and they still are. Dr. Troy is very patient with me and my aches and pains. He is helping me figure out what could be causing it. I feel great after my adjustments. He always pinpoints and adjusts where its bothering me most. The girls at front desk are as sweet as can be. I highly recommend Able Body Health Center.

I've been seeing Dr. Gustafson for close to 20 years. What separates him from other chiropractors is his muscle testing and applied kinesiology for diagnosing problem areas and drop table used for more effective treatment. He always has your health in mind and does a great job keeping me pain free and moving. Highly recommended!

I look forward to seeing Dr. Gustafson every time I am in town. I have seen a handful of Chiropractor's over the years, and Dr. Gustafson exceeds them all by far. He is very thorough and pays attention to your individual needs. His treatment is kinesiology based, which I think is much better than conventional chiropractic. If you're considering this office, go for it. You will not be disappointed.
