Report
I have been a patient of Amherst Family Chiropractic for many years, after a past car accident that left me in a lot of pain, I didn't want to resort to taking pain killers advised from the specialist I was sent to, so I sought out other options, after trying several chiropractors I found Dr. Kane, he helped work with me to get me the appointments I. needed and helped adjust my body back to normal.
I also had an issue with my ankle from and injury at one point that would always act up when I would wear flip flops that he corrected and no pain since. In April this year after getting laid of due to Covid-19 I was experiencing some really intense discomfort from my hip area being an avid hiker I.

I had numerous treatment sessions with Dr. Walder for both lower back and neck pain. Dr. Walder was pleasant, down to earth, funny, and also no-nonsense; as well as effective. He had prescribed me some stretching exercises to do at home, and on the next visit he rightfully chastised me for having not done the exercises. I will return to this office, and have recommended them to friends and coworkers.
