I visited Arc of Life Chiropractic for several sessions hoping to get help with chronic rib and shoulder tightness, scapular instability, and neck/ postural issues. Unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. Went consistently 3 times a week for a month+ The chiropractor focused almost entirely on doing the same neck and mid-back adjustments each visit, even after I explained that my main problems were functional — involving rib compression, scapular grinding, and muscular imbalance. There was little assessment or explanation of how the adjustments related to my symptoms, and no personalized mobility, breathing, or strengthening work was offered. When I asked about alternative treatments or targeted soft-tissue or corrective exercises, I was told the repeated adjustments “help the nervous system,” but I didn’t feel any lasting improvement. In fact, the sessions started to feel very routine, like a one-size-fits-all approach rather than care tailored to my specific condition. The clinic itself was clean and well-organized, and the staff were polite, but I left feeling that the treatment style was too generic for complex postural or muscular issues. I would recommend this clinic only if you’re looking for quick, general spinal adjustments — not if you need detailed, functional rehabilitation or customized treatment.
A New Beginning Thanks to Arc of Life After giving birth, I began experiencing extremely intense pain in my lower back and spine. The pain was so severe that I could no longer walk properly or stand for long periods. I couldn’t even put on a pair of pants without feeling overwhelming weakness and pain. Daily life became physically and emotionally exhausting. That’s when I discovered Arc of Life and started treatment with Dr. Pauline and Dr. Brent. After just three sessions, I noticed a significant improvement. By the sixth session, the progress was truly remarkable: I was walking upright again and even able to run short distances — something I never thought would be possible in such a short time. My sleep also improved considerably, along with my mood and energy. What I appreciated most, beyond the physical results, was the team’s kindness, clear communication, and professionalism. Dr. Pauline took the time to explain my condition in detail. I learned that my pain wasn’t just caused by the birth, but rather due to long-standing imbalances made worse by unhealthy habits — the pregnancy simply brought them to the surface. I felt heard, respected, and supported every step of the way. Thanks to their expert and compassionate approach, I not only regained mobility but also confidence and peace of mind. Thank you to Arc of Life, Dr. Pauline, and Dr. Brent. You helped me get my life back. ❤
We’ve been seeing Dr. Pauline and Dr. Brent since my son was 4 months old, and I can't speak highly enough about them. Both are incredibly knowledgeable, accommodating, and truly committed to improving the well-being of your little ones. When my baby struggled with gas in his early months, routine visits at Arc of Life made a world of difference. Their gentle approach and expertise have helped him (and us) feel so much more comfortable. Dr. Pauline and Dr. Brent genuinely care about their patients, and we’re so grateful to have found them :)
Could not recommend Arc of Life enough! From the moment you walk in the door you’re greeted by Macey who makes you feel so welcomed! My little girl was experiencing colic and I ran out of ideas on how I could help her. I decided to take her to see Dr. Pauline when she was just 2 months old and let me tell you it changed BOTH of our lives. Her sleep improved within weeks of seeing her. After each visit she had the best nap too which was great for this Mama. I can’t wait to experience Arc of Life for myself during my next pregnancy! Thanks for everything you guys do!
This is such a helpful, family friendly team! I started going when my baby was transverse at 32 weeks pregnant. By 35 weeks, scans confirmed he was in a good position and he stayed there. I’ve been so impressed by the quality of care at Arc of Life not just for myself but for my little one too. They’re so gentle, fantastic with babies, and make you feel right at home!
