Borges is the best! It's a very clean and nice environment. The dr. Is really nice and has a way of making you feel safe. 10/10 would recommend. If you're experiencing any long term issues they take that into account and get all of the proper X-rays and MRIs before proceeding.

After searching around for practitioners for the last 13 years to help manage my chronic issues from a life of playing sports I've learned that the Gonstead method of chiropractic is the most effective and trustworthy. I was thrilled to find Dr Borges locally with 36 years experience as a Gonstead expert. Everything he's said fits with what I've learned about my body and his treatment has been very effective so far. Totally recommend his practice.
