What People Are Saying

“Dr. Kristin Shiver, Chiropractor Exemplaire, gives me wonderful service and understanding beyond the alignment of lumbar, firing of psoas muscles and shoulder adjustment. Her knowledge and use of acupressure and reflexology has most recently given me relief from the constant pain of metatarsal distress until my orthotics arrive and can be fitted to my shoes. And we're presently trying that same wisdom out on reducing sinus allergies as well, another wonder of our body's work of art. I am always amazed at and grateful for Dr. Shiver's innovative and creative treatments in my physiology.”

“Just had my first visit at Back and Balance with Dr. Dean Chance. A close friend recommended me going and at first I was a little skeptical if chiropractic care was actually what I needed. After a very informative intro session with Dean and learning about how chiropractic and the holistic care their office offers ties so much into mental health (think the nervous system - and how an adjustment, movement, and herbal supplements can benefit this, I had no idea that getting a chiropractic adjustment could impact so much!) I now realize that I’m exactly where I need to be. I am looking forward to more sessions to see where things lead and I am eager to get relief for both anxiety and back/neck pain - realizing now how it may actually all be related. Dean was very patient and kind, and the office staff is really great to work with. Office is beautifully decorated by local artist Foster Garrett Design. Highly recommend.”

“My journey to wellness has been backed by this facility for a few years now and everyone there is phenomenal! Dr. Doug & Dr. Liz are both equipped with the knowledge, know-how and passion to exceedingly perform well at their crafts/specialties. They are always delivering sorry quality with their adjustments and muscle work!

You're greeted with gratitude upon entry and as you leave by either Kristen or Lauren! Sound atmosphere. Truly a great place to help you achieve your balance at a solid pace. Put in the work and the work gets put into you.

Thank you, Back In Balance Chiropractic!”

“Everyone at Back in Balance is so wonderful! Warm & welcome from the moment you walk in! I look forward to each & every appointment! I am currently seeing Liz to help me through the end of my first pregnancy, she has been an absolute life changer. I feel better, sleep better, & have more confidence bringing my child into the world knowing my body is in good shape and ready for his arrival. We will continue seeing Liz as a family after his birth, knowing we will be in great hands. We can’t wait! Thank you Back in Balance!!!!!!!!”

“We love the variety of specializations Back in Balance offers. For example, my daughter has been going to Dr. Douglas Guibault for about four years now. She needed help with leg aches that occur behind her knees, but are actually caused by musculo-skeletal shifting in her hips due to rapid growth. Dr. G uses a chiropractic technique called Active Release Technique (ART) that has helped her tremendously. It also works well for sports or general muscular injuries. Dr. G. and the whole team at Back in Balance have helped our family in so many ways over the years!! We love them!”

“Back and Balance is my go-to for Chiropractic care, Bioscan, and NET. Shauna is absolutely amazing to work with—so knowledgeable and kind—and Dr. Kristin is truly the best chiropractor I’ve ever seen. The front desk staff is always warm, welcoming, and incredibly accommodating. I always feel taken care of from the moment I walk in. Highly recommend!”
