Comprehensive physiotherapy combines ultrasound, electrical stimulation, and thermal therapies with manual techniques. This multi-modal approach reduces inflammation, enhances circulation, and accelerates tissue healing. Treatments are integrated with chiropractic care for optimal recovery outcomes.

Personalized nutrition plans address individual health goals and deficiencies. Our assessment identifies dietary needs based on patient history and wellness objectives. Recommendations focus on whole foods and targeted supplementation to support musculoskeletal health.

The doctors and people here are simply amazing! They care about their clients and what they have to say. I would recommend this Chiropractic place to anyone. They also have a Licensed Massage Therapist who is also an Esthetician as well and she is wonderful! What other chiropractor office can you have an adjustment and then book a massage or facial? Well, you can here. They are also very affordable! Call them for your issues to get fix and feel great again!

I am so grateful that Dr. Ward and Ashley from East Mentor Chiropractic are apart of my monthly routine. Dr. Ward is a wonderful chiropractor who truly cares about his patients. Ashley, their massage therapist, has done wonders not only physically releasing the stress and knots from my body, but she wants to get to know you as a person too. Both of them have a great quality of service and I will be returning to this practice for years to come.

I'm neither recommending nor not recommending - My only advice is the following -- make sure you get xrays so Dr. knows what he's working with -- make sure you have a treatment plan in writing. I wasted a few years with Dr. and am now in treatment that is finally working and adjusting my spine and body to proper function. Electric massage, stretching the back and other body massage equipment DO NOT work when you have major back issues.

I would highly recommend East Mentor Family Chiropractic, the staff is wonderful and pleasant. Matt Ward is so personable and very knowledgeable as well. I had another chiropractic office recommend him to me when they did not accept my insurance and I am so glad they did.
