Honestly nothing short of a miracle
Valerie has only worked on my body a handful of times. When I first went I was skeptical that she would be about to make any inroads on my bone on bone arthritis in my knees. Not only has she made my day to day (and sleeping) life pain free, but she’s also worked on other areas where I have pain. I can’t say enough about how my only wish is that I had gone to her sooner. Thank you Valerie! (Liz, the woman who schedules appointments and more is also excellent)

My orthopedic doctor diagnosed my excruciating painful elbow as “tennis elbow” Sept 9th 2021 and said it would take 6 MONTHS to resolve.I saw Dr Valerie Girard 6 days later, pain the same. She did adjustments plus cold laser treatment. The very next day my pain had diminished by 50%! Dr Val has fixed my chronic neck and back pain over the last 5 years but the elbow pain was so much worse, she kept working on me till I could tell there had been a significant improvement, that was just yesterday. I sing her praises

I can’t say enough about Valerie Girard. I was in back pain for YEARS and finally decided to see if a chiropractor could help. My research led me to Dr Girard and I’m so glad it did. First appointment she took her time to understand what I thought was wrong then gently started to “realign” me. She got to a spot in my lower back that even when lightly touching it, caused me to wince. I’ve had massages send me through the roof when they got to that spot. Dr Girard knew right away what to do and without causing me pain, adjusted it. When she was done I was completely pain free. The next

I don’t need to display anything and I’m pretty sure whatever “Review trolls” you’re referring to have better things to do than leave 3 star reviews. These reviews aren’t just for your patients, they’re also for your customers. When I called yesterday on short notice to check if your office had any availability the person on the phone laughed at me as though I was supposed to know what your guy’s business’ ability is to keep up with your supply and demand. It was a call that I had to make on short notice, which isn’t too far fetched for an industry where the time that waiting

I have so enjoyed the expert professional care that Dr. Val has given me for the past 10 years. Not only has she helped me conquer sore muscles, strains, neck surgery, "aging issues", etc., but her spiritual support during our sessions is an invaluable added extra that has helped guide me thru many of life's traumas. Thanks, Dr. Val for being YOU!
Sincerely, your friend, Burt.

Dr Valerie Girard is such a gifted healer and chiropractor. I've never met another chiropractor like her. In addition to helping keep my body in alignment, she's helped with soft tissue issues like hiatal hernia and helping the pancreatic ducts function well.
She has helped my son and I heal from several severe ankle sprains-- she is an ankle whisperer and can realign foot bones in a way that seems miraculous. I've walked in limping after trying to let time fix things and walked out normally.
She's also developed an energy healing system based on acupressure that has helped me heal from PTSD

Dr Girard and Liz are tops in their craft. They provided some of the best care that I have received in years.
They truly get to the root cause in the body by using their knowledge, intuition and active listening.
Liz immersed herself in helping me with the
frustrating & difficult task of getting an order from my PCP and she nailed it.
Dr Girard welcomed all of my questions, encouraged my input and even researched my owie. She also nailed it!
The green drink recipe has helped my digestion and the supplements she recommended actually work.
Cheers & Huge moose thank you's to you both

When I walked into the office I could tell by the energy surrounding me that I was in a true place of healing. My hips have given me trouble for years and after losing all hope with countless number of doctors I found Valerie. We have worked together and I now have amazing mobility and strength. I see her on a regular basis and I love her work.
Check her out!
