Dr. Taylor was phenomenal and really helped relieve some of the pain and get me going on a plan for treatment. She listened to my concerns and I felt that she noted my pain and came up with solutions for how to improve. Will definitely recommend to friends and colleagues and will certainly be back.
Kaelan s.
It was a great experience! Throughout the entire process, Dr. Crystal did a great job of making me feel safe and comfortable being treated while I’m pregnant. Everyone was so incredibly nice! Also- couldn’t believe how much better I felt after I left. Looking forward to coming back for continued treatment!
Emma S.
From walking in the door, I knew that the staff genuinely cares about their clients and have a passion for helping people. My first appointment with Dr. Hartman was beyond phenomenal and a lot of that is due to her being so gentle and kind in her demeanor while thoroughly going over my history and suggesting different modalities of treatment. I have lived with chronic ankle pain for most of my life which has included orthopedic surgery and a few rounds of physical therapy, but none of that brought me the pain relief that one session with Dr. Hartman along with a trial of SoftWave has. I highly recommend making a visit to have these wonderful ladies change your life through their chiropractic services!!

I have had burning pain in my neck and shoulder for years with little to no relief. Immediately after treatment and still over a week later I still have relief from this. The whole staff was amazing, listened to my issues, and really worked hard to come up with solutions to provide me with relief, as well as aftercare to keep me from getting back into that state again. I am definitely impressed with the care I received.

This was an all-around excellent experience. I’d never been to a chiropractor before and wasn’t sure what to expect. But Denton Sports Chiropractic made the entire New Patient onboarding quick, easy, and very informative. I was nervous when I got there but walked out 100% satisfied.

Denton Sports Chiropractic is amazing. I've had back issues for years and Dr. Maggie is my girl. She is so thorough in her exam and has truly helped me find relief. If you are on the fence...go see them. All their staff is amazing.
