Richard Piorkowski, DC

He’s great, effecient, and does not beat around the bush. Been there 2 times and my backs improved ten-​fold! Highly recommend.

This was my first ever visit to a chiropractor. I’m one of those guys that avoids going to the doctor unless I think it is absolutely necessary. Had a mysterious pain in my left hamstring that I could not attribute to any activity. It kind of just appeared one day… and it would NOT go away. Gradually it got worse and worse over the course of a month. At first, it would hurt every time I stood up, and then it started to hurt on and off all the time — sitting, standing, walking and laying down. At times the pain was so bad it made my eyes water. I thought maybe I had a pinched nerve. I was taking more and more Advil to help make it bearable. Seeing my GP would have been a waste of time. I knew that I needed an excellent chiropractor. As usual, I turned to the Unilocal community for assistance. Dr Rich had glowing reviews from his loyal patients. I knew that he could help me after reading what other UnilocalERS had to say about him
Dr Rich asked me some questions, did an examination of my posture and located my problem areas quickly. He treated me with some electrical muscle stimulation, a spinal and neck adjustment and a hardcore massage of affected areas. He explained each treatment and let me know what to expect. He also gave me some exercises I needed to perform to help heal my leg problem and improve my lower back. After the first treatment I immediately noticed improvement. With each day the pain lessened. After the 2^nd treatment (5 days later) more improvement, and I was about 80% pain free. After the 3^rd treatment (7 days later) I am about 95% pain free and almost completely back to normal. I have another session tomorrow and am hoping this will be the final one for this issue.
After this session I’ll continue to see Dr Rich for spinal and neck adjustments as recommended or necessary. The benefit of going in for this mystery pain in my leg is realizing how much better I feel after the adjustments — more energy, better sleep, better breathing, etc, etc. I wish I had done this ages ago. A little maintenance can go a long way to preventing problems before they occur.

You’ll be greeted at the door by Mojo — Rich’s very sweet Labradoodle … He’s very accommodating in terms of scheduling … great office environment … easy access … Dr. Rich is awesome — I started going to him for a pinched nerve in my neck — I have continued for regular adjustments. Getting older isnt’ for the faint of heart — and he makes it a little easier as he addresses all the little aches and pains as regularly as I want.

Dr Rich is an excellent chiropractor. I travel with my job and always have to find a chiropractor everywhere I go. I found Dr. Rich via a groupon special his office was offering. I have been seeing chiropractors for over 20 years and very few can manipulate my neck. He is one of them who can. While here on assignment I developed lateral epicondylitis — a condition caused by repetitive motion to perform my job. I went in to see Dr Rich about it and WOW is all I can say — by week 3 — minimal pain and I am able to continue to perform my work. Then my hip went out and I could barely walk — I discussed it with him when he was working on my arms and he didn’t hesitate to see what he could do to help — now at week 2 — minimal pain. The guy is a miracle worker and I am truly Blessed to have found an awesome chiropractor while I am in the area. If you have acute onset or chronic pain of any kind, Dr Rich is the man and Mojo is the coolest mascot. I love how she will visit you kind of just to say hi. Great office!

I’ve been seeing chiropractors off and on for the last 20+ years, and Dr. Piorkowski is by far the best! I started suffering from severe migraines years ago, and while nothing has been able to completely cure them, in the last two weeks of seeing Dr. Piorkowski, the length and duration of them has greatly decreased. Also, the knots in my shoulders that typically cause rebound headaches have virtually disappeared. He explained all this to me and made me feel very comfortable with the adjustment because it always freaks me out. I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Rich and of course Mojo!

Dr. Piorkowski was recommended to me by a family member who had neck and back injuries from a car accident. He raved about his doctor and suggested I give him a try. I had pain in my hip, lower back and under my left shoulder blade that kept me from any physical activity for several months. I made an appointment with Dr. Piorkowski. He identified my problem and made corrections with ease, without discomfort to me. After two adjustment sessions, pain was gone and just a little tenderness remained – but full range mobility returned. In a couple of days, even the tenderness left. Dr. Piorkowski is such a godsend! He is very organized, personable, knowledgable, and compassionate. He listens, addresses concerns, fully explains what to expect, and welcomes any questions. There was no wait time and no billing issues.

Went to see Dr Rich for a neck complaint and he could not have been nicer or more patient with me. He took the time to explain what he was going to do beforehand, and within two visits I was pain free. Not only that, he took the time to answer my mother’s questions about her back pain and she isn’t even his patient! Lots of parking, and flexible hours which is a bonus. Thanks again Dr. Rich!

Dr.Rich. First, I thought he was mean. But, he does seem knowledgable and good at what he does. I got a Groupon voucher on my first visit. Was worth the try

I have been going to Dr. Rich for 15 years. He is absolutely wonderful! The office has a very friendly environment. Dr. Rich is simply a magician. After two children my list of aches has continued to grow over the years. He is always willing to listen and work through my many back issues.
Over the years I have referred a number of colleagues and friends to Dr. Rich. The feedback was overwhelmingly positive! I rely on the doc to put me back together again after a bad month. I only wish I could get to see him more. My husband has also gone to Dr. Rich for years and echoes my thoughts.
Dr. Rich is a consummate professional and will work with any issue you bring to him. His office staff has always been very good about insurance billing. If only all of my doctors were as wonderful as Dr. Rich!

The doctor is really friendly, but the billing has been a challenge.

I don’t know what I would do without Doc Rich– when it comes to chiropractic care he’s the most knowledgeable chiropractor in the area. I have had back problems for years, whenever I throw my back out I call Evergreen Chiropractic and see Doc Rich. It’s amazing how after just one or two sessions I can get back to my exercise routine. Doc Rich has saved me from surgery with his treatments. Before you go under the knife for a back or neck problem, call Evergreen Chiropractic and see if Doc Rich can take care of the problem–

This was my first time EVER going to a chiropractor. I had pulled a muscle in my back from shoveling snow and caused to be in a spasm. I had no choice but to go and needed someone fast in the area. After reading their reviews and finding out they accept United Healthcare, I setup my appointment.
There was no wait pretty much. He made me feel very comfortable. And very professional. He could tell what was wrong with me just from an explanation of my pain and looking at me. No X-​rays needed. During my first treatment and adjustments, I never experienced any pain. He made sure I was relaxed. Even the dreaded neck crack was so much easier than I thought.
At the end of that evening I felt SO much better just after the initial treatment. I’ll be going back tomorrow to hopefully crack out that tense area that was in a spasm.

I had originally gone to Dr. P with a online coupon then returned after a accident I had. I was in a 4 car pile-​up on Little River Turnpike mid March which left my vehicle with over $ 7k in damages and my back/​neck very sore for weeks.
The treatment went as planned. I was in-​and-​out in less than 30 minutes. But his office is a little old and so is the equipment. And he has a dog which if you’re allergic to pets (i wasn’t) it may be an issue.
If you need a chiro or were in a accident, go to Dr. P. The report he typed up for my lawyers office was VERY detailed but it did take longer than usual. Not to mention he made sure I was 100% before I finished my treatment.
Minus one star for the old-​looking office and the report taking longer than he had originally stated.

Dr. P is the best. Very available, friendly, flexible, and does everything you could ever need all in one appointment — no charging for extra services. Plus he’s making my back feel better than it ever has. And I’ve had back problems for YEARS! Highly recommend!!!

Dr. P is the best!
I’ve dealt with back issues a very long time. It started acting up again last spring/​summer when I injured my ankle (getting old sucks — I’m falling apart!), so in desperation I started looking for a chiropractor. Past clinics I’d gone to would want me doing herbal/​meditation/​stretches and crap and never seemed to just tell me straight what the problem was.
Not Dr. P! And I appreciate it!
While seeing him last summer for my lower back, I blew out a disk jumping in a pool to fish out my kid. He straight on told me I was not going to get through this without major drugs. He later sent me for an MRI, then gave me the name of an excellent neurosurgeon who fixed me up a month later.
I haven’t been back to see Dr. P since my surgery, but I’m thinking I need to get back in for a tune-​up (plus, we miss Mojo the dog!). I highly recommend Dr. P to anyone with ongoing back issues!

My husband and I both had our first appointment with Dr. Rich Piorkowki today, and we are both extremely impressed. We purchased Groupons for his clinic last winter and had no problems at all using them today, which we appreciated. We each had a different situation. My husband went for a check-​up and well person visit. I have a history of neck and lower back issues. Each of us felt that the treatment and advice and follow-​up recommendations were right on the mark for what we need/​want. We especially liked Dr. Piorkowki’s straightforward, no nonsense explanations and adjustments. Having been to chiropractors before, I can attest that he is exceptional at what he does. We look forward to a long-​term relationship with this doctor, and we recommend him without reservation. His front office person was also very friendly and professional, by the way…

Definitely 5 stars…
I was on a tear earlier this year, working out at least six days a week and running 7 – 8 miles per day. In late July, while sitting at home and not doing anything stressful I noticed a sharp pain in my lower back and it hurt real bad. This pain went on for a few weeks. It was excruciating pain to say the least. So much so, I stopped going to the gym for a while. At first, I was a bit timid about seeing a chiropractor but after speaking with some of my friends I decided to give it a whirl. I found Dr. P on Unilocal,yes Unilocal and talk about a success story. I started seeing him regularly and have noticed the pain has faded away and now it’s gone and I’m back to my old routine.
He is smart, easy to talk to, and knows his stuff. I even have started to refer my friends to him — something I rarely do unless I’m really impressed with a business. One of my wife’s friends really likes him too and has told me that he has done wonders for her back/​neck. Additionally, I have found him to be very flexible with my hectic work schedule which is a big plus. He is very knowledgeable about the human body and very skilled in his profession.
Highly recommended!

Dr. P is the man!!!
I was very reluctant to try chiropractor — until my back was in so much pain from dead lifts that I couldn’t get up off the living room floor. Then I went to Dr. P, and the work he’s done has changed the quality of my life. I’ve been seeing him for over 4 month’s now, with amazing results — my back pain is gone, and I feel stronger and healthier. He is smart, compassionate, and extremely skilled — he knows the human body and all of its quirks, and he can take one look at you and know why you have pain and how to get rid of it. I recommend Dr. P to everyone I know who complains of back pain.

For the past year or so, I have been having horrible back pain that comes & goes. At the beginning of this week, my back pain was so bad that each step I took made me want to cry. I avoided going to the doctor for two reasons. #1. I have horrible, uncontrollable anxiety when it comes to any medical treatment (doctor, dentist… whatever). #2. I was sure that any Urgent Care doctor would just give me some kind of pain meds and not actually TREAT the issue. THIS was a major factor because I dont think masking pain with narcotics solves anything & frankly, I just wont take unnecessary pain meds that will only make me nauseous.
It never even occured to me to try a Chiropractor until a coworker recommended Dr. Piorkowski. I made the appt, just hoping it might help some. I was in pain and was desperate. Dr Piorkowski greeted me himself and had a very casual air about him that immediately put me at ease. We spent some time talking before he «adjusted» me. He let me know that since my problem was chronic, it may take awhile to get better, but I’ll be damned if I didnt feel like a new person after my first visit! I could walk without pain for the first time in days! The relief I felt is beyond words.
I cant express how happy I am that I decided to try Dr Piorkowski. The Doc & Mojo really have a good thing going & I look forward to my future visits with them.

Doc P is a skilled and sensitive holistic doctor. Always willing to fit you in even with short notice to relieve pain.
