“My husband and I are both seeing the difference in our stress levels, mood, and symptoms that life can throw at us.”
“We wanted to add chiropractic care into our daughter’s routine as she was showing signs of delayed gross motor skills. My husband and I were curious to see if we could also benefit from chiropractic care. (Spoiler alert: we ABSOLUTELY could!)
We are seeing progress everyday in our daughter’s mobility and development. She constantly surprises us with new skills and confidence to match. She is making tons of progress with her gross motor skills and mobility, and chiropractic care has complimented her other treatments better than we imagined. After her first adjustments, she came home and demonstrated new skills that she had never done before!
My husband and I are both seeing the difference in our stress levels, mood, and symptoms that life can throw at us. The doctors at River Shores have helped me identify possible causes for my chronic migraines that my primary care providers haven’t even asked me about.
The staff at River Shores are in the loop! Their communication is always on point, and they’re always up to speed on how you’re doing and how your adjustments are going (even if you saw a different doctor the previous visit before). Going to an appointment at River Shores feels like seeing your hype crew that genuinely wants you to succeed in every aspect of life.“

“...the adjustments help with our range of motion, tightness, and overall health. Our children benefit from calming hyperactivity, helping relieve growing pains/changes and staying healthy!”
“Our family has been receiving care at River Shores Chiropractic for several years. We have seen both Dr. Krysti & Dr. Andrea on different occasions and they both provide excellent care. Everyone at River Shores Chiropractic shows professionalism, honesty, and down to earth communication and interaction. Our nine and eleven-year-old girls look forward to every chiropractic visit and have for the past seven years. Every adjustment gives us the quality of health that we want and need to be at our best in our day to day routines. With my husband being in the trades, and me being a daycare teacher, the adjustments help with our range of motion, tightness, and overall health. Our children benefit from calming hyperactivity, helping relieve growing pains/changes and staying healthy! We love River Shores Chiropractic. Thank you for all that you do to keep us healthy!”

“I have more energy, can exercise without pain, sleep better, transitioned off my anxiety medication, and my pain is virtually non-existent.”
I started chiropractic care due to lower back pain. I’ve had the pain since high school (bulging discs from improper lifting), and it has been manageable. Occasionally I would have a few days where it was not manageable and March/April of last year was one of those times. I went to the doctor, but they just prescribed a couple of medications without any real exam. I drive by River Shores every day on my way to work and thought I’d give it a try!
The care I have received at River Shores has improved my life significantly. Everything I do is more enjoyable now; I have not felt this good in a long time (and not just physically) and feel I’m the best version of myself. I have more energy, can exercise without pain, sleep better, transitioned off my anxiety medication, and my pain is virtually non-existent. Most of all I’m just happier! All of these improvements have benefitted my family as well. I can do more with my daughter without having to take a break to rest and she is happier because of it.
River Shores, simply put, is amazing! Everyone there has such a beautiful and kind heart. They all care so much about everyone they see and the care they provide to them. We are always greeted with a smile, and Amelia and I look forward to going each week. The whole team truly makes a difference and I’m so thankful I found them!

“The changes I saw in him immediately had me convinced that this was the care that I wanted my family to continue to receive.”
“In my household, life before Chiropractic was hectic, unpredictable, and far from relaxed. This boy-mom never knew what to expect on a day to day basis. There were meltdowns-often without explanation, anxiety attacks, emotional extremes, and that was just the boys. I was overwhelmed with the day to day struggles and often suffered from fatigue and just a feeling of “what else can I do?” It just so happened that for continuing education at my job, I attended “The Perfect Storm” event held by Dr. Krysti. After attending this seminar I felt that it was worth further information.
We started our chiropractic journey with my oldest in the search for something other than medication to help ease his anxiety issues. The changes I saw in him immediately had me convinced that this was the care that I wanted my family to continue to receive. Not only has his anxiety improved, but his sleep is no longer interrupted by nightmares, he has better control of his emotions, and even some of his digestive struggles have improved. He is a different child! I had not had an uninterrupted night’s sleep in almost 10 years. We are all finally sleeping soundly. He also has benefited from Chiropractic with his athletic activities.
About a year after we started care at RSC for my oldest, my youngest and I also started our own wellness programs at River Shores. He has seen improvement in emotional control and stability, energy, focus, and athletic well being. This young man has changed from one who often had difficulty controlling his emotional responses, especially when angry or disappointed, to one who can stop and think about how he reacts and communicate his needs and emotions in a more acceptable manner.
The care I receive at River Shores helps this busy Mom keep up with the crazy that comes with having two very energetic and very involved boys. We are constantly on the move, whether it be to practice for one of their four sports teams, games, guitar lessons, or other school activities. Regular adjustments help me to maintain control and calm while juggling the busy schedules of a family of four. I no longer feel overwhelmed with the day to day responsibility of balancing my full-time job with the business of my family life. I can’t thank the Doctors and staff at River Shores enough for the continued care and passion for their jobs that they share with us and the community.”

“It wasn't long before we saw differences such as better sleep, balance, and attitude....Since we were so pleased with my son's results, I decided to start care for my three other children.”
“River Shores Chiropractic has truly been a blessing to our family. We as a family began our journey with them two years ago when I went to an ADHD workshop. I was looking for an alternative to the traditional medication for my preteen. At the workshop, I was amazed by the knowledge Dr. Krysti gave me that evening in such a short time. There was no hesitation that I had finally found the right fit for my ADHD preteen. The Doctors and staff had a true concern for my son. The knowledge the Doctors gave my son and me about what was going on in his mind and body put us both at ease. It wasn’t long before we saw differences such as better sleep, balance, and attitude. My son became excited for adjustment days. He knew things were changing for the better. Since we were so pleased with my son’s results, I decided to start care for my three other children. My High School daughter could use help with her locking joints and flexibility for dance. My avid soccer-playing teen son had been having a hard time with growing pains. And last but not least, my little one battled bladder infections and we were not fond of antibiotics. Now, I bring in the whole crew for adjustments.
Each of them walks in week after week without any complaints. River Shores Chiropractic is always our first call when anyone is feeling under the weather, which is far and few since starting care. It has become a place where my family feels extremely comfortable. All of the staff know us by name and are always extremely welcoming. Our crazy go everywhere, do everything lifestyle has become easier thanks to River Shores Chiropractic. We couldn’t be happier becoming part of their family!”

“...now that we’re going regularly, my oldest daughter is sleeping better and my chronic headaches are much more manageable. I also love that we’re taking a proactive, non-medicine approach to our health. ”
“Chiropractic was not something new to me before I came to River Shores. I had scoliosis as a pre-teen that was never fully corrected resulting in frequent lower back pain as an adult. Then in college, with a more sedentary lifestyle and job, I started getting regular headaches. I began to see a chiropractor periodically for symptom relief and continued that for many years. When I had my first daughter, I began taking her to a chiropractor every few months so hopefully she could avoid some of the issues I had as an adult.
Right before I had my second daughter I took my oldest to an Easter Bunny event that River Shores was putting on. Even though my daughter had chiropractic care her whole life, Dr. Andrea showed me with just a quick visual scan of her back that she was not in alignment. While I liked the specialized approach to women and children that River Shores provided, I didn’t make the switch to River Shores until right after I had my third baby.
Now my kids and I go every other week to River Shores for maintenance adjustments. We did not have any major issues to fix and we had already had periodic chiropractic care so it wasn’t a night and day difference. However, now that we’re going regularly, my oldest daughter is sleeping better and my chronic headaches are much more manageable. I also love that we’re taking a proactive, non-medicine approach to our health. The staff and doctors at River Shores are always supportive and smiling, and my whole family looks forward to our visits.”

“From pregnancy to postpartum, our sleep quality and immune health, and ability to exercise and recovery have all improved greatly!”
“I really wanted a completely natural and healthy birth for my first pregnancy, so I looked into chiropractors that specialized in prenatal and newborn adjustments and found these wonderful ladies!
My firstborn had some neurological stuff going on that caused him to be extremely tense 24/7. Since day 1, he had been adjusted regularly and overcame all his issues! Both my kids are also extremely healthy and I firmly believe chiropractic care has a lot to do with that.
River Shores has enhanced our lives greatly! From pregnancy to postpartum, our sleep quality and immune health, and ability to exercise and recovery have all improved greatly!
When you’re being adjusted at River Shores, you don’t feel like you’re in an assembly line waiting to be cracked. These ladies really get to know you and your journey. They will help you in every way they can.
If you’re looking to level up your health and wellness, I cannot recommend the ladies at River Shores enough!”

“...we all have shortened cold lengths and stronger immune systems. Our kids continue to sleep better and are definitely much more well rested with a solid night's sleep...”
“We began our journey with chiropractic care at River Shores after receiving numerous recommendations from friends and family approximately 4 years ago. Our oldest son had just begun high school and was struggling with focus and the overall transition. After seeing almost immediate positive changes for our oldest in all aspects of his life, not only school, we knew that it would also be a positive asset for our entire family.
River Shores Chiropractic care has truly enhanced our physical and mental well-being. We have seen great improvements in our oldest son’s life in regards to the ability to focus and accomplish his goals. We have also noticed that we all have shortened cold lengths and stronger immune systems. Our kids continue to sleep better and are definitely much more well rested with a solid night’s sleep without the numerous wake-ups throughout the night that occurred when we first started our chiropractic journey.
I also experienced great benefits during my last pregnancy in regards to back pain and the reduction of numerous other pregnancy related symptoms. One highly notable benefit was the length of my labor, which was extremely quick. (I joked in the months leading up to my due date that I didn’t want it to quicken my labor too much or I would end up having our baby on the way to the hospital).
My husband was the longest hold out for starting chiropractic care. He was reluctant to begin, after previously suffering a severe back injury while on a deployment during his service time in the Army. Since officially starting care just a little over a year ago, he has definitely noticed a decrease in migraines and improvement in his overall well-being.
River Shores and their amazing team have truly become a very integral part of our lives. Not only have we improved our physical and mental well-being overall, but we have made true friends along the way. We could not be any more grateful for the recommendations we received just 4 years ago.“

“My headaches impacted me the most and now I can go months without them!”
“I first started with chiropractic care because I was expecting and I knew I needed it to help keep my body in the best shape for pregnancy and labor!
River Shores has enhanced my life by ridding my headaches that were quite frequent (daily to every other day). Now, I can use chiropractic to prevent future headaches (among other pain/injuries/illnesses within our family) by staying adjusted.
As a new family of three, we have been relatively healthy through the sick season and when we do get sick, it doesn’t last long. My headaches impacted me the most and now I can go months without them! Overall, we have experienced less sickness, lower stress levels and more energy. Plus being pregnant took a toll on my body. I believe if I wouldn’t have had consistent chiropractic care, I would have needed a cesarean section to have my daughter.
Our now 11 month old daughter was adjusted for the first time just under two weeks old, and she continues to receive consistent care. She is thriving! My husband also recently made the switch and started chiropractic care as well, so it’s always a family outing when we come to River Shores!
Everyone is so friendly and remembers your name! The care is phenomenal and they always listen to determine the best plan of action. They are there to help you!“

“We have seen amazing results having our girls adjusted....We have not had severe illness, ear infections, or antibiotic treatment ever!”
“My husband and I have been receiving chiropractic care for about 4 years. I originally sought care for migraine headaches with neck pain/tension. Within a few short weeks, I had little to no headaches, improvement in sleep and more energy. What I learned when meeting with Dr. Krysti was that chiropractic care was beneficial for so much more than just pain and symptoms. I learned the importance of whole body health and how much chiropractic care is a necessity — making sure that my body is functioning at its optimal level!
When I became pregnant with our first child, I already knew the importance of chiropractic care, but had no idea just how valuable it would be. Chiropractic during pregnancy contributed to less pain/discomfort, increased mood and energy, relief from round ligament pain, a shorter labor and delivery, as well as a successful breastfeeding journey. I continued to be checked and adjusted weekly throughout my pregnancy with our first and second child.
Postpartum, Dr Krysti and Dr Andrea checked and adjusted me, weekly. This made sure my pelvis was shifting back into alignment after a natural birth, as well as helping with things like discomfort from nursing, improved mood and more energy from my lack of sleep.
Our daughters have both been checked and adjusted weekly from 2 days old (Now 2yrs and 2mos)! Both Doctors consistently make sure to give us the time we need to answer any questions and give us educated advice for any concerns we’ve had! We have seen amazing results having our girls adjusted. Some of those include—relief from constipation/gas, comfort from pain associated with teething and decrease in fever during a virus. We have not had severe illness, ear infections, or antibiotic treatment ever!
Because of the doctors and staff at River Shores Chiropractic, I truly believe that our family is living the healthiest and happiest lifestyle.”

“Not only did her adjustments and treatment plan work by relieving her migraines and managing her pain, she's overall happier, feels better, and looks forward to her weekly adjustments!”
“My kids and I love River Shores! From the moment you walk in the front door, you are greeted and treated like family.
The staff and doctors are nothing short of amazing. They listen, they help, they care. We initially started going to River Shores to help my oldest child get relief for her chronic migraines and backaches. Not only did her adjustments and treatment plan work by relieving her migraines and managing her pain, she’s overall happier, feels better, and looks forward to her weekly adjustments!
After seeing the amazing care she has received at River Shores, I decided I also wanted to better my own health and my son’s health. We all love getting adjusted now and we couldn’t be happier with the results.
River Shores is truly one of a kind and I can’t thank them enough for all they have done and continue to do for my family and our health!“

“I started to see a decrease in headaches (no longer taking daily Advil or Tylenol); increase in my ability to handle stress; an improvement in my mood; and getting my back straightened out...”
“I had gone to a chiropractor when I was younger after having been in a car accident. Through most of my adult years I had struggled with daily headaches and would often take ibuprofen several times throughout the day, just to get through. When I became pregnant in 2018 I had started to seriously consider going back to the Chiropractor but just wasn’t sure where to begin. I started to watch for recommendations in some of the local Facebook groups and River Shores Chiropractic was always one of the top recommendations given.
On 12/9/18 I delivered twins at 35 weeks. Both of the babies required time in the NICU to gain weight; learn how to eat; and get stronger. In January we decided to explore chiropractic care for them for a few reasons; quick vaginal delivery for both babies; Twin B delivered breech; Twin A 2 weeks NICU time (also has Torticollis and misshapen head); Twin B 3 weeks NICU time (also has reflux).
After seeing improvements in their health I wanted to start chiropractic care for myself but was unsure where to fit it in with a busy schedule. February 2019 I fell on ice in the driveway and received a concussion (just what every mom to newborns needs). I had a headache for several days requiring me to sit in a dark room and try to have it as quiet as possible (totally possible with newborn babies at home). I started to see a decrease in headaches (no longer taking daily Advil or Tylenol); increase in my ability to handle stress; an improvement in my mood; and getting my back straightened out (which is helpful after carrying two car seats most of the time). I often hear from co-workers about how calm I am and they would never guess I’m the mom to 7 month old twins. I feel like I’m a better mom and wife on a daily basis. I feel like this was one of the best decisions towards helping me to become a healthier/happier person.
I look forward to my appointments every week and truly enjoy spending time in their office. The front office staff is amazing and are always welcoming! I feel like the staff and doctors truly care about my day and my health and are interested in wanting me to be the best version of myself.”
