I'm a 71-year-old man who has struggled with back pain for years. Eventually, it became unbearable, and I sought help from my doctor. He prescribed medications which provided some relief initially, but the pain persisted. Desperate for a solution, I decided to see a chiropractor and scheduled an appointment with Dr. Palmer. After X-rays and several discussions, Dr. Palmer began treating me. With each visit, my pain gradually lessened, and after a few sessions, I was nearly pain-free.
For the first time in a long while, I went about two months without significant discomfort, and life has been much better without daily pain. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Palmer to anyone suffering from chronic back pain.

I've gone to many chiropractors over the course of my entire life, and in 3 different states. That being said I am no stranger to the benefit of good chiropractic health. However, I frequently tell people that Dr. Palmer has helped me more than any other I've ever seen. My results have been more consistent and he's gotten me to the point of usually only needing maintenance adjustments every couple of months. There are still flare ups (that's normal when you have some bad discs as I do) but I'm so thankful for the progress I've experienced at Palmer Chiropractic!

Dr. Palmer is an amazing chiropractor. I've been a patient of his for several years and he has helped me tremendously with my hip and shoulder pain over the years. He's very thorough with asking and answering questions and explaining things. His office staff is always pleasant and a delight to work with for billing and scheduling appointments. Great customer service.

Dr. Palmer and his staff are very knowledgeable and helpful in answering my questions. I have tension headaches and can always count on Dr. Palmer to adjust the pain away. I always feel comfortable in his care and would recommend him to everyone I know. Making an appointment when I need one has never been a problem & the office staff are very welcoming and friendly!

Dr Trace Palmer with his expert Chiropractic care has made a world of difference with my neck, lower back and sciatica. He is knowledgeable, kind and punctual. Beth offers a welcoming attitude and patience while scheduling or answering questions both in office and on the phone. I really look forward to my adjustment visits.

Not a good Chiropractor, I will never be convinced otherwise. He wanted to jump right into those drop table adjustments which I don't like, He wanted to rush me right onto his table for (treatment) without even going over my paperwork that I filled out beforehand. He also said that he would not be doing X-rays, I've never been to a more unprofessional and unpleasant chiropractor in my life! Afterwards all he cared about was measuring my hand strength?!?(that wasn't even a concern?!?) Too out of touch with the way modern chiropractic work is done, will not return or recommend period.

I don't think I can find all the words I'd need to describe just how much Dr Palmer has changed my life. I'd seen other chiropractors in the area but it never did me much good. I've been to pain management, my PCP, I even had nerves burned in my back just to try and get some relief. I was told I needed to go see Dr Palmer and I'm so thankful I did. He had me get xrays done and knew right away where my issues were, and was able to adjust me accordingly.
I look forward to my appts and I leave feeling SO much better. I can keep up with my kids now. I get out of bed without being bent over in pain. If you are in need of chiropractic care, Dr Palmer is your choice. The office is friendly, accommodating, and will fit you in for emergencies. He even offers a military discount because at this time, tricare does not cover chiropractic care. I'm so happy I made the choice to seek treatment here!

Trace is the first chiropractor I've ever gone to and I'm glad for that. He's helping to fix this unbearable neck pain I've been feeling for years. Very informative and reassuring. He explains things in great detail and him and Nikki are very accommodating, I can shoot them a quick text and they'll find room to squeeze me in which I appreciate. Also love chatting with Trace about his glory days of being the official chiropractor for the Honduran National Soccer Team. Cool guy

Eaisily one of the BEST, most honest, and thourough chiropractors I've ever been too. I saw Dr.Palmer for a little over a year... I just moved out of state and I am dreading having to find a new one. I tried a couple other guys in the Savannah area but none of them came close to the quality, and individualized care I received during my time with Dr.Trace Palmer. I highly recommend him!

Trace and Nikki are excellent! They take care of us so well. We come in monthly and add extra visits in case we run into back pain or neck issues. If I get a stiff neck I know I can text them and get in on the next day. He always has to play tricks on me to get me to relax enough for adjustment but it makes me laugh.

I've enjoyed my chiropractic experience with Dr. Palmer. It first started when I was 28 weeks pregnant and having sciatica pain. I felt relief instantly after the adjustment with even more improvement over the next few days. After having my son, I have continued to see Dr. Palmer for maintenance. Every time I walk out of his office I always wish I would have made my appointment sooner. Dr. Palmer's wife, Nikki, is happy to greet you when you arrive and if able, will help look after your little ones during your appointment. Overall, Richmond Hill is lucky to have such a great practitioner.

Dr. Trace has been treating me and my husband for awhile now and we are very pleased with our results. He is always very professional and gives us detailed information about our conditions and treatment so that we can understand why we are having pain and how chiropractic can help. Their office is a bright and cheerful place and I have always been seen quickly, even when I drop in. I highly recommend Palmer Chiropractic!

I started seeing Dr. Palmer about a month ago for horrible migraines, I was completely desperate for relief, absolutely nothing was helping! I tried everything from prescription medications to having to leave work early. After about a week I started to see significant changes! I am going on my fifth week tomorrow and I couldn't be more thankful to have met Dr. Palmer and his wife. Not only have my headaches stopped, I have learned some healthy alternatives to help prevent them as well. Thanks so much!

Thank you - couldn't imagine that you could make it go away so quickly, this morning I was able to get out of bed without the shooting pains in my leg.

I can't recommend Palmer Chiropractic enough! Dr. Palmer treated me during my last few weeks of pregnancy and used the Webster Technique to help flip my breech baby. After my first visit I swear she flipped! I also had a very easy delivery. After my daughter was born I took her in to Dr. Palmer to get her adjusted when she was just two weeks old. Dr. Palmer and Nikki are so kind, knowledgeable and are willing to go the extra mile for their patients.

Very personalized care with amazing results! RN with chronic back pain for 20+ years. Have tried it all, and this is the first time I can actually feel better and have hope! Additional information regarding "way of life" changes to make at home, has greatly helped me to get out of just emergent fixes and into a whole new lifestyle of LIVING! Thank you, Dr. Palmer and Nikki!!

Never have I experienced a more caring and understanding staff. The chiropractic care I have receive has been the best I've ever had. I started going when we moved here and was about 28 weeks pregnant. My daughter has been going since she was 7 days old and is still going 6 months later. We've have both seen really great results!! They are friendly, knowledgeable and quick.

i can tell you first had that the service and care you get a Palmer Chiropractic is top notch. I have recently moved and hope to find a new chiropractor as attentive and flexible as Dr. Palmer. Until then, anytime I am back in the area, I make sure to stop in for an adjustment and they always squeeze me in. Their office definately trys to work with the patient on their schedule and needs. I'd dare say that there is not better chiropractor & staff in the area.
