I've been getting massages for decades and Tammy is the best. She painlessly removed the knots in my upper back and relieved the soreness in my lower back and legs. I couldn't believe how great I felt afterwards. Great job!

Our experience at both the Lakeville and Eagan LWC's has been exceptional. Our whole family has worked with Dr Chris for a couple years, on ankle injuries and other sports related issues. We've also been treated for back pain by several of the chiropractors and everyone has been amazing. Thanks to everyone at LWC, we highly recommend their entire team!

I was very satisfied by the care I received at Life Wellness Center. Dr. Chris helped me immensely through PT and Dr. Kyle with Chiro. Both were flexible in caring for my particular needs and injuries. Great, positive atmosphere! And Christina kept the whole operation afloat!

I have seen Dr. Kyle for a couple years now primarily for headache relief but he has worked some magic on my neck, back, shoulders and hips. I always leave the office saying "I feel amazing". Then he introduced me to Dr. Chris who helps more with the muscle pain and spasms. The stretching techniques and education he teaches at every appointment has helped me maintain relief everyday. Seeing this pair has given me so much relief and almost eliminated all my headaches. If you're suffering from headaches or chronic muscle tension, I highly recommend this duo.
