Insider Pages Reviews for Devine Chiropractic Center
It's an old story. Liquor and a friend who needed to move in a big hurry screwed up my lower back permanently. Dr. Devine restored it to great working condition. I was especially impressed by how Dr. Devine kept up with my progress and modified his approach over time. He taught me a number of stretching and strength-building exercises that I do semi-faithfully, and my back has improved to the point that I'm training for this years Jingle Bell Run. A year ago, that would have been unimaginable. Finding a great chiropractor or massage therapist is like prospecting for gold in the desert, but here you can find both.
The service is wonderful! So far, I've had the pleasure of working with the two different massage therapists, Stephanie and Tyler, (I consider them artists, sculpting an undulating medium of pain and grotesque misalignment into a serene placid plane, sort of like deconstructing the gates of hell into a sunny meadow somewhere in the Alps).
And yes, let me discuss the massages a bit more. The facilities are clean and lovely. I have fallen asleep on the table, lulled into peaceful bliss by the masseuse's expert wrangling of trigger points. I'm not someone who can easily relax, so it's saying something that I can happily let go for an hour and allow a healing of hands, so to speak.
Best thing I ever did for myself! You will not regret a visit or 20.

I have an injury that is over 9 years old from falling off a roof. My doctor wanted to do surgery with no promise of actually relieving my pain. I met Dr. Devine last month. Chiropractic is pretty amazing; I am pain free and actually feel muscles that I have not in 8 years. Dr. Devine is a great chiropractor and this office has the best of both worlds, because the combination of Dr. Devine and the massage therapists skills and they have a nutritional consultant (Patrick) who takes you full circle.

As an LMP I am very picky when it comes to who I recommend. They have to meet my own standards of patient care, listening, doing the RIGHT thing and really hearing what clients say.
Dr James is all that. His warm personality couples with amazing skill and the willingness to hear your desires and adjust his techniquest to meet (exceed) your expectations.
No diamond in the rough here - a truly honed, honest and polished gem of a find!
Dr Divine is who I send my patients to.
Dr Divine is who treats ME. And that is saying something if you know me. :) I'm monster picky!

I first started seeing Dr. Devine to help manage chronic pain. While he is very skilled, patient and good at that, over time I came to realize that he was offering more than pain management. He has become my advisor on wellness, and I rely on him extensively to help evaluate and manage a multitude of ways of learning to be well. I value not only his warm and friendly demeanor, but his direct way of communicating what I need to know in a way that I can digest it. I trust him implicitly and am thankful that he has improved my quality of life in so many long lasting ways.

I have spent the last three months within the Group Health Coop system going from specialist to specialist just to get a diagnosis for my severe leg pain. I was given narcotics for the pain but no diagnosis and no effective treatment. I was told it might take a year to get out of pain - still with out receiving a definitive diagnosis. I went to Dr Devine and he was able to diagnose my problem right away. After only 2 treatments my pain subsided. Dr Devine said the treatment would take a week to get out of pain. I am so relived to finally know what the problem is and that it is treatable with out surgery.

I was referred to Dr. Devine by my wife's 84-year-old aunt, who has seen Dr. Devine for over 15 years. The old gal goes to the Y to lift weights and walk on the treadmill for half an hour every morning, while it was all I could do to just to get out of bed every morning after an auto accident injury to my neck almost a year ago. I began feeling better almost immediately after I started getting treated by Dr. Devine and have just started a fitness program to try to regain what I have lost due to a year of inactivity.

Dr. Devine has been a major player in fostering overall wellness in my life. He has always been there on a moment's notice during times of acute pain or injury and that says alot since i've been seeing him for a decade.

I threw out my back a few years ago and Dr. Devine was reccomended to me. I had never been to a Chiropractor before and did not know what to expect. He is a consumate professional, they take x-rays and give you down to earth payment options. However, like all Chiro's, they want you to come in three times a week for a long LONG time.
