Mark Hastings, DC

Dr. Hastings has been treating me for the past two months for a sports related elbow injury as well as chiropractic care. Dr, Hastings is not only professional and knowledgeable but warm and friendly as well. Along with treating my sports injury he made a much needed referral for the additional treatment I needed and has shared instructions on how to properly train so that I don’t get myself in this position again. As a harried mother of three I greatly appreciate his flexibility as he will let me call as my day unfolds and fit me in as he can. The addition of his wonderful dog lends a laid back feeling to the office which I always appreciate. As a dog person I get to experience a little extra peace and love with his sweet pup while I wait to be seen. Five stars all the way.

On the «mark» as for intuitive diagnostic knowledge. Almost crawled into the office & left with a skip in my step !

I was referred to Mark for help with my shoulder (couldn’t reach above my head, and had very limited mobility with that shoulder). Over a few visits, my shoulder moved toward complete recovery. I was amazed at that, because I was pretty sure only surgery would improve it. The friend who told me Mark Hastings was the best guy to see for shoulder problems was right on. I thought chiropractors were only helpful with back problems, but apparently Mark has helped lots of people recover from shoulder injuries. He was very thorough and professional.

Dr. Hastings is fantastic! I had been having some significant neck, shoulder, and lower back pain for about a week so I called Dr Hastings as a 1^st time patient (after checking reviews on Unilocal) and he had me in and fixed up in no time — same day before lunch!
I have been to another Chiropractor in Aptos and, while the Dr’s technique was good, I had to sit through a ½ hour «sales pitch» with the office manager before each appointment. I thought I was going into finance after buying a used car ;) Not with Dr. Hastings — he is fast, friendly, professional, and truly there to help fix you. Just what the Dr. ordered. Thank you!!!

My opinion and experience with Hastings Chiropractic is to acknowledge how important Dr Hastings chiropractic work has been, and continues to be in my personal well being. Ask yourself why suffer if you don’t have to? Pain is Inevitable, suffering is optional. Mark’s approach is one of root cause and immediate launch to positive healing not the stories that hold us back from the healing. He is very confident which can be interpreted as ego, but I’ll take the surgeon who knows he was born to be a surgeon with strength and confidence. He is a surgeon in his field and I highly recommend giving this health alternative an open mind and open body fully ready to experience painless living!

DR. Hasting is simply amazing! One visit and he took care of my problem.
How can it be? He made my pain go away! Love him!
Going back!

Just got back from my appointment with Hastings. I went in with a crooked gait and came out about 30 minutes later walking fine. I managed to twist my lower back out of shape while exercising over the weekend and the pain was still present four days afterward. I found Hastings through Unilocal and was able to get an appointment today. I would definitely recommend this chiropractor. He has a background in sports — he told me he was a personal trainer previously and even a bit of experience working with the military — he knows his stuff.
After getting my back into place he took time to observe my squat form to see how I managed to injure myself and offered helpful suggestions to avoid doing so again in the future.

I’ve had a variety of neck and back trauma: a cracked L2 vertabrae, two whiplashes, a broken spondy, and scoliosis. With Dr. Hastings care and advice, I am able to be a fully active person with no limitations.
I have recommended a number of friends and acquaintances to him as well. Many who’d not been helped by other chiropractors or different modes of treatment — some even contemplating surgery. Each has had great results with Dr. Hastings. I highly recommend him to all.

Dr. Hastings is a first rate chiropractor. He is not the churn and burn guy that sees 100 patients a day — he spends time with his patients, carefully assesses your issue and then works on healing you. His goal is for you to feel better, not to keep you coming back endlessly. While he is great with necks and backs he also has a strong background in sports medicine and is highly skilled when it comes to shoulder injuries as well. For that matter he has also treated my ankle and my knees. Dr. Hastings also treated me while I was pregnant and was the only chiropractor I found that could adjust my upper back while pregnant. He was a lifesaver!
As the first reviewer mentions Dr. Hastings’ charges are extremely reasonable — I like to see him for «maintenance» (just ’cause it feels good) as well as when I have an acute issues. I highly recommend Dr. Hastings!
