At River City Chiropractic, we want to make your care at the office as convenient as possible. I have an illness that causes chronic pain and regular flare ups. I regularly see Dr. Charlie for care. I often feel sudden relief from her adjustments and other therapies. Once, I was in so much pain I had to use crutches to walk into her office.
After an adjustment and some RockTape, I was able to walk out with minor discomfort. The next few days I was able to jog and compete in an event I was looking forward to! If it wasn't for the treatment I got from Dr. Charlie, I wouldn't have been able to do those things. I had such a stiff neck and even numbness and tingling in my arm.

A child's developing spine protects the nervous system. The nervous system coordinates every process between the brain and body. Having the nervous system free of any interference allows the body to develop and function optimally. It is, therefore, imperative for all infants and children to be checked by a chiropractor regularly throughout their childhood to ensure peak developmental progression and immunity.
Whether you are an elite athlete or a weekend warrior, chiropractic care may benefit you. If you have been injured or simply looking to improve your game, a plan tailored to meet your goals and objectives will be created after an assessment of your specific needs. Athletic therapy can improve tissue longevity by incorporating stretching, stability, range of motion, muscle firing patterns and strengthening techniques.
Many associate chiropractic care with back pain. Chiropractors are amazing at relieving back pain and helping to correct the cause of the pain. However, there is more to chiropractic care than just pain relief! Chiropractors treat subluxations. A subluxation happens when a joint does not function the way it is supposed to (has decreased or altered motion).
The first visit will consist of a health history consultation, chiropractic evaluation and exam and any initial care that is determined to be clinically necessary and mutually agreed upon. The exam is unique to the specific symptoms presented and may include vitals, testing of reflexes, range of motion, orthopedic tests or other diagnostic tests.

Yesterday I received a massage from Dr. Charlie Herman and was very satisfied! As someone who gets 5+ massages a month, I can tell Dr. Herman is knowledgeable about my anatomy. Through deep tissue, Swedish, and trigger point releases, Dr. Herman did a great job stretching me out and releasing many knots. She also has a great love for the Lawrence community and wore a mask for both of our protection. I highly recommend visiting Dr. Charlie Herman!

Dr. Charlie is the BEST! She has created a space for learning, and healing the body that is warm and welcoming! I learn many things in every session with her. This helps me take steps at home to keep pursuing optimal wellness. She takes the time to listen and works to get to the root of the problem so she can recommend a treatment plan that will be a long-term solution, not a bandaid. I trust, respect, and value Dr. Charlie's knowledge, and skills. She is a gifted chiropractor and massage therapy practitioner. I am thankful for her to be a part of my wellness journey and life.

Best chiropractor around! Goes beyond the adjustment to make sure everything is functioning properly. She taught me how to use the gua sha I purchased and using it regularly has helped tremendously along with regular care with my migraines. Anything you can think of she probably has, she’s helped me with posture tape, cbd oil for many things, and elderberry syrup for immune health! All purchased through her. Will always highly recommend!

I have been to Dr. Charlie for a massage. She did a fabulous massage on my neck and scalp. I often suffer from what doctors refer to as idiopathic pain on my scalp, and I left with no pain or tightness. I am used to deep tissue massage, which can be painful, so if you are looking for a good massage, that isn't painful I highly recommend Dr. .

I have scoliosis which causes one side of my back muscles to be bunched up and the other side to be overstretched. I’ve had chiropractic care and massages over the years when the pain was particularly bothersome, but it was all very temporary relief. This is the first time I feel like we are making changes that will improve my back and my life… long-term. I’m sure I will always need to do stretches and have maintenance for my back, as the spine curvature will remain. But even in a few weeks, I’m noticing strengthening of my over-stretched muscles and stretching of my bunched

I came to River City Chiropractic with extreme pain in my lower neck - and an unrelated case of shin splints (something that has haunted me for years). A couple weeks later, I'm a new man - my neck feels great and my shin splints are totally gone. Dr. Charlie not only gave me general adjustments to ensure my body was aligned properly, she taught me stretches and exercises that targeted my pain points that I plan on implementing for life. I'm so thankful that I'm now able to get back to living! Thanks, Dr. Charlie!!

I started seeing Dr. Charlie for prenatal care and know it made a huge difference in how I felt. I'm continuing to see her postpartum and always feel better after my visits. She has adjusted my little one a… couple of times as well. She goes above and beyond to provide you information and is generally interested in you and your family.
