Speakman Mark

Best Chiropractor ever :)) Mark has been helping me for years with various issues. He is kind, intelligent, honorable and completely knowledgeable in what he does. I feel totally safe in his hands and have recommended him to family and friends.

I have been seeing Mark for various injuries on and off for longer than I would like to admit. I first saw him in the late 90’s for a sore neck, and because of his care I was able to play out the end of the volleyball season and recover successfully. Since then he has straightened me out many times, usually in only 1 or two visits.
I have always valued Mark’s information based approach. With his background as an Exercise Physiologist and Personal Trainer he always asks lots of questions and provides clear details about how to fix the problem. Usually recommending stretches or exercise to quicken recovery. He’s clear that Chiropractic has its usefulness but is quick to recommend when he feels other approaches may garner better results.
Now my whole family sees Mark. He has become an essential component in our physical fitness and wellness approach to life.
I would recommend Mark to anyone looking for a fair unbiased approach to maintaining or recovering a healthy body and outlook.

I went to Mark after trying many different things for my injured neck and back. At one point, I could barely walk. Crouching down and crying in agony, I would show up at his office, only to notice after a few short days later I was walking straight again! Mark, you rock!!! :)

Mark Speakman has helped me out with posture, uneven shoulders, and kinks in my neck several times. He does a few tests at the beginning and end of each treatment to check my range of motion (how high I can lift my knees for example), and I always see a surprising difference by the end.
He has cracked my neck a few times, and I have always felt safe and comfortable. If I am curious about the science behind the treatments, he enjoys taking the time to explain it to me. I can really sense the passion he has for his work.
Dr. Speakman is a very charismatic man, who not only fixes my back, but also puts a smile on my face. He is very experienced and professional, and he is a chiropractor I trust.

Dr. Speakman was recommended to my husband and I by a mutual friend. We were both reluctant to try a chiropractor, but my husband’s health issues were enough that we felt we had nothing to lose.
My husband came to Dr. Speakman for his back issues, which Dr. Speakman seemed to resolve with twice a week and then once a week treatment. My husband was feeling quite fine at last but had another weekly appointment scheduled. He went… and it was terrible.
Right at the time of treatment my husband felt awful, and walked out in considerable pain. He felt funny in the head, and sick. Hoping it was temporary, he waited a few hours but his symptoms worsened. The cracking sound and feel in his neck did not diminish.
The next day he spoke to Dr. Speakman who suggested hot — cold therapy on his neck. This did not resolve the issue and two days later (today) Dr. Speakman asked him to come in for another session.
This subsequent session did NOT help my husband at all. The pain and suffering he is now in (and we’re both hoping it’s not permanent) is directly as a result of his last scheduled treatment. Dr. Speakman tried to pass it off as something else but there is nothing else it could be.
Dr. Speakman’s aftercare was deplorable; he never followed up with my husband after this nightmare. I’ve spoken with a number of individuals who were first shocked that he worked on my husband’s neck when there was no need, and secondly, that Dr. Speakman would perform a second treatment so soon after such severe complications from the previous treatment. I can only feel like we were a cash cow now.
We’re both VERY worried at this point that he’s suffered permanent damage.
He may be a good chiro for some, but all it takes is one very serious error like this and suddenly you realize you’ve just placed your life in the hands of someone who could cause serious harm. That is true of any chiro, I suppose.

ETA: adjustments have resulted in ongoing physical and cognitive issues in my husband. We are devastated.
We will NEVER recommend any chiropractic treatment to anyone. And I certainly wouldn’t recommend anyone with poor after care practices and attempts at passing problems (resulting from treatment) on to some other factor that clearly doesn’t exist.

Dr Mark is great. I have always been a bit nervous at the chiropractor’s but Dr Speakman is very good at making you feel at ease and uses various techniques to make sure you’re not walking out of there in any discomfort.
