I have TMJ. I had been hit in the jaw and the TMJ got worse. I could not open my mouth or talk without my jaw locking up or popping. It was like that for a month before I came in. Also my lower back was bothering me. I couldn't stand for more than 30 minutes before I would have to sit down. I work in a school so I am on my feet a lot. My back problem made me have to constantly sit for short periods until the discomfort passed. Eating was a problem since the movement made my jaw pop constantly. The exercises HealthSource gave me for my jaw really helped a lot. They strengthened the muscles and reduced the popping. I can now stand at work without having to sit and relax my back. I can really feel the difference. My jaw is stronger than before and I can eat without worry. Everyone in the office makes you feel important and that your concerns are not stupid. They include you in deciding on treatment. I recommend them to anyone who needs a chiropractor. ...read more

I came in for help with my knee stiffness and my lower back issues of a questionable lump on my left lower back that Dr. Wolkoff assured me of not being an issue of worry but hope of treatment to deal with it. I couldn't bend very well and coming down steps left me unassured my knee wouldn't give out as a second issue. I couldn't vacuum long without my back hurting. Also being on my feet too long was an issue. Now I'm feeling much looser and more flexible. I learned how to deal with my back issues and know I can go to the care group for my adjustment. I needed the knee surgery to repair tears I had and needed the push to get it done. The doctor and staff are compassionate, friendly, caring and very respectful. They all were concerned in helping me get better without fear of the treatments. Any billing issues were secondary matters - treatment was primary. I was greeted immediately and it was like they were waiting just for me. ...read more
