With all of the auto injury patients we've treated over the years, we've seen many folks suffering from chronic pain caused by an old collision. In fact, research shows that a significant percentage of rear-end collisions result in pain and disability even ten years after the crash. The most common causes of chronic pain are the reduced mobility of your spine and the development of scar tissue in the surrounding structures.

I came to Dr. Balkin and his team due to an issue with my shoulder. He had been highly recommended by several people I know and I have not been disappointed. Dr. Balkin and his team are knowledgeable, receptive, and most of all accommodating. Throughout my treatment everyone has addressed all of my concerns, questions, and taken a genuine interest in my recovery. The office is run efficiently and treatment/appointments were run like clockwork.

Dr. Dillon was referred to us by a close friend, and he sure did not disappoint. He conducts his practice in a professional manner while also shedding some light in a dreary situation. From my lower back pain and now to my knee pain from my half marathon, I always feel better after each visit. My lower back pain has significantly healed after only a couple sessions and from continuing to do the exercises that have been recommended to me. I have to travel relatively far to get to Dr. Dillon’s office and it is worth every bit of travel. Thank you and your stellar team for taking care me!

This is by far the best service and care I have ever received for my injuries. They are very thorough with treatment and what I thought would be months of treatments to recovery only took a couple of weeks. The staff is super friendly, attentive and knowledgeable. Dr. Balkin does an amazing job at getting you back on your feet. No matter what the problem is he’s got you. I would definitely recommend.

Yo! I love it here. It's good pain. Dr. Dillon always get me back on track. Where else can you get 5 star service on Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, and Rehabilitation all in one place for a low out of pocket cost or via health insurance co-pay 😀. Depending on the injury or issue, I recommend the dry needling and cupping...the pain hurts so good.
Andrea is awesome with explaining the post visit exercises and in therapy exercises. She actually performs the movements with you. Andrea spirit and personality is outstanding.
I've heard it from others and read it through reviews. Great family atmosphere

Dr. Balkin and his entire staff work like a choreographed ballroom dance. From the minute I arrive, there is a warm greeting and promptness I have not experienced at other clinics. They are always on time and take me on schedule - of course that means I have to do my part and show up on time! Many members of my family come to Optimal for their physical needs, both as maintenance and when pain arises. I highly recommend Optimal and the whole team for your physical therapy and chiropractic needs.
