I have been seeing a chiropractor for over 20 years in different capacities and I came across Acru without fully knowing what the practice even was. Via an event the gym I attend hosted , they got me in to the clinic for a physical therapy session using equipment called SoftWave. During the visit they offered a free initial chiropractic assessment. The assessment was not a standard offer but based on my testimony with the issues I had in my shoulders they asked if I would be open to it and I agreed. The first step was to take x-rays of my shoulders and neck which surprised me as I had never had a chiropractor do that in the past. The images did not show any clear sign for concern in my shoulders but a discovery was made that even to me, referencing a chart on the wall, was as clear as day. Turns out I had accelerated signs of arthritis in my neck which most likely had roots going back to my days of playing competitive soccer. From there we walked through a simple exercise showing the subluxations in my neck (points of unnatural immobility) and Dr. Norton proposed a complete visitation and health plan to get my necks posture back to a position of natural health. I was all in. In all the years I had been seeing a chiropractor I had never experienced the attention to detail and precision that Acru had demonstrated, bringing to light what even I could see as an obvious issue in my necks posture. Safe to say I was blown away and quickly reflected on years of seemingly minor issues in my body that could all have stemmed from a chronic misalignment in my neck, instated years ago. It’s been a few months since that first assessment and have continued to be impressed since. From their methods of adjustment to their incredibly accommodating and pleasant staff. Every touch point has been thought of and designed to make regular visits not only easy but really enjoyable. I was invited to a free dinner/seminar early in my treatment plan and learned about the thought process and mission statement driving the practice and it really resonated with me. I recognize there may be scepticism and disbelief surrounding chiropractic as a medicine and based on my years of past experience can understand the roots of those comments or positions. Acru however, has really broke the mold, pushed the formally accepted boundaries in the space and proven to me that chiropractic care is more than just a series of regular realignments with seemingly no results. They truly understand and believe in their purpose and have checks in place so that the results can speak for themselves. I never write reviews but I felt compelled in this case to do so, the whole team is really best in class and whatever the ailment you may be experiencing, I believe the work they do can have a positive impact.
