Woolf Spinal Care

Dr. Chris cares. He takes the time to listen and understand what we’re going through, and genuinely wants everyone to be pain free. I was very fortunate to find Dr. Chris at a health fair that my company sponsored. I was just post-​fusion surgery on my L5-​S1. Slowly going through physical therapy, but I needed something more. Dr. Chris introduced me to NUCCA, which is a subtle (never painful, no cracking) method of aligning the spine. It is very scientific, and he takes xrays of your skull and extracts specific measurements.
I’m always happy when I leave his office, and know that he is helping me take care of my whole self. I get to see him monthly, and many months I don’t need an adjustment — it’s just great to know I’m still holding. He never rushes you, and is a great listener.
If you’re thinking about going — just go. You will learn a lot about your spine, I promise! If you’ve been to other chiropractors, Dr. Chris’ method is so unique you owe it to yourself to get the best. He’s the best. You deserve it!

Dr. Chris Woolf is an expert in customized treatment through the practice of NUCCA chiropractic services. I leave the office smiling after an alignment

I had all but surrendered to a lifetime of chronic back pain (and I’m only 43 years old) when I decided to give it «one last shot» with «Dr. Chris» (as his clients affectionately call him). I was definitely done with traditional chiropractors, after visiting a whole long string of them over the past 4 years of my (almost) unyielding back pain. I had also seen 3 acupuncturists (one whose treatment really did help for a while, until I aggravated my back by a 20-​hour car trip); a physical therapists; an orthopedist; had at least 3 x-​rays (all «normal») and MRI (also «normal»); 4 massage therapists (all who had their own differing theories about my back problem); as well as read a book that opined my pain was not real, was rooted in emotion and that I should talk to my pain. I did talk to my pain, but my pain didn’t listen. Turns out, it was real. I am an athlete: on a golf team, a tennis team, and working towards my black belt in martial arts. Not participating in movement was NOT a solution. I went to Dr. Chris with a «what do I have to lose but a little more money» attitude. I was instantly impressed with his individualized attention and level of detail. NUCCA is not ANYTHING like traditional chiropractic care, in my opinion. In fact, when people ask me who is treating my back, I say «A NUCCA spinal specialist.» I don’t even use the word chiropractor. Dr Chris was not surprised that my X-​rays and MRI had yielded «normal» results because those diagnostics were taken of the area where pain was manifesting. His theory (a NUCCA approach) was that the root of the problem was elsewhere (in the upper cervical area), which is what his radiographs, indeed, indicated. Even after my first «adjustment» (just a light vibration around the ear), I felt better. The trick in my case has been holding the adjustment. It seems that my issues involve very very old scar tissue and misalignment. So, we are still working on me «holding.» As a human being, Dr. Chris is just a wonderful person. He is ethical, caring, intelligent, detailed, and not motivated by self interest. This isn’t just his job; it’s his calling. And once you are treating with Dr. Chris, you are considered a part of his family. He is also incredibly hospitable to my kids (one who has Autism and can be tricky to interact with, and has unpredictable behaviors), and my kids love coming with me to Dr. Chris’ and getting their own treatment from him. If you are on the fence about trying NUCCA care, do it with Dr. Chris. You won’t be sorry.

I first saw Dr. Woolf after hip replacement surgery left one leg shorter than the other. He was able to get me even again and system even ever since. I’m on once a month tune-​ups now. Very different adjustment than the regular «cracking»
Chiropractic care. So impressed by Dr. Chris’ caring heart. Highly recommend!

I started seeing Dr. Woolf at the recommendation of my friend. I had been suffering from migraines and she said that the type of spinal care that Dr. Woolf provides could improve the migraines. During my consult with Dr. Woolf, I told him about the migraines and that my dentist was recommending I start wearing a (very expensive) mouth guard to stop myself from clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth at night.
I have only seen Dr. Woolf a few times but have not had a migraine in a over month, they used to occur weekly. His techniques loosened the muscles in my jaw so I am also no longer clenching my jaw or grinding my teeth. In addition, I used to wake up every morning with a sore back and have not had that issue since my first visit with Dr. Woolf. I was skeptical during my first visit because I had never seen a chiropractor before but the results have been amazing!

About a year ago I suffered an L5 bulged disc and was in quite a bit of pain and discomfort. I sought the advice of other chiropractors and others who had suffered a similar experience. Pain pills and/​or surgery were the most popular recommendations. I was not comfortable with either, so I sought an alternative. Dr. Woolf offered exactly what I was seeking, a drug free, non-​surgical treatment option, which was also different approach than most other chiropractors. Dr. Woolf’s initial examination revealed that I had considerable misalignment in several areas, which was putting asymmetrical strain on my lower vertebrae. In addition to a bulged disc, I had secondary symptoms in other locations. My alignment was much improved after just a few visits. After a few more visits my lower back pain was virtually non-​existent.
I continue to see Dr. Woolf for check-​ups, though I am not visiting him two or three times a week as my prior chiropractors demanded. Dr. Woolf believes that, if given the correct care, the body should be able to heal on its own and office visits should become less frequent. I’m delighted to report that my alignment has been holding rather nicely just as Dr. Woolf predicted.
i am very grateful that I came into contact with Dr. Woolf. I have found him to be very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating to my schedule, and overall genuinely concerned and supportive through my healing process. Dr. Woolf combines his chiropractic talent with sound nutritional advice to maximize the potential for best results. I regret that I did not see Dr. Woolf sooner, though I’m very pleased with my progress. I would recommend to anyone suffering from a spine-​related issue to consider Woolf Spinal Care first prior to wasting time and money on traditional chiropractors.

I came to Dr. Woolf while having major stomach complications stemming from a combination of antibiotics and lack of proper nutritional care for my body. I had seen many doctors for over a year before I sat down with Dr. Wolf. After following his advice my stomach problems have begun to dissipate. He can really help you with whatever you nutritional guidance you ask of him. Five stars for Dr. Woolf.

Dr. Woolf helped me with nutritional advice and he had me do the Standard Process 21 day cleanse which was really awesome!
Results:
— Overall weight loss of 12lbs seems to be holding.
— Feeling more fit and trim (even wife notices).
— Chronic snoring problem at night has gone away much to the relief of my wife (was probably a dairy allergy of some kind as I have kept away from my usual yogurt at night and cheese).
— Eye sight definitely improved and just in time for my driver’s license vision test which I passed with no problems.
— Strong desire to continue to eat fruits and veggies rather than my typical food.
— Staying away from processed foods, bread, sugar, etc. — seems more natural now to do so and I really like the more raw food.
Dr. Woolf is highly recommended!

Dr. Woolf is Awesome!!! I had never had to go to a Chiropractor before, but was feeling a very tight kink in my neck and thought it might be good to check it out. I went to Dr. Woolf and he fixed the issue after just a few visits. I feel great now and no longer feel any pain. He is very caring and truly concerned about your health and making sure he gives you the best possible care. I would definitely recommend going to see him! :)

I’m very pleased with my results. I started seeing Dr. Woolf a couple years ago for nutrition assistance. I was pessimistic about the approach, but I had been referred by someone whose judgment I valued. I figured it was worth a try. I followed his strict food program, I took the recommended supplements and was surprised that an issue I’ve had with the skin on my hands cleared up. I initially went to see Dr. Woolf for ongoing sinus inflammation issues (which cleared up). The clearing up of the problem with my hands was a surprising benefit. I have periodically missed taking my supplements because I’ve gotten lazy, and whenever that happens, the problem with the skin on my hands returns. I’m sticking with the program. It works.

Have you had a surreal experience about your health? I was almost resigned to being dizzy the rest of my life when i found Dr. Woolf. He said give him 5 visits and if no improvement he would refer me to another clinician. After my third comfortable adjustment I was enjoying more of my days «dizzy free»
I have worked in the health field for more than 30 years; have access to double insurance; had been to 11 clinicians in 8 months (two chiropractors) and just «hanging on» until Dr. Woolf placed his hands on me.
He is calming, skillful, knowledgeable and sincerely wants to make you «whole again». It is inspirational and a breath of fresh air to connect with Dr. Woolf who is so passionate about what he does. I will be thanking him for years!

In Oct, 2008 I was rear ended by a taxi cab who failed to stop at a red light. I had lower back pain, and neck pains from the accident. I saw my primary care doctor and a spine specialist and was recommended to start with physical therapy. The therapy was good for strengthening, but did not help correct my misalignments or offer pain relief, so I decided to explore other options.
I went to see Dr. Chris Woolf– who does upper cervical care treatment. His treatments target aligning your spine using a method called Nucca. The focus of the work is the relationship between the upper cervical spine (neck) and its influence on the central nervous system and brain stem function. He uses a specific procedure focused on correcting a small misalignment of the upper neck known as the Atlas Subluxation Complex, which in turn gets your body to naturally heal itself.
Within 3 office visits with Dr. Woolf, I was not only feeling great (back spasms and neck fatigue gone) but I was holding my correction, meaning my body was healing itself (my hips remained aligned and my neck was as well) and keeping my discomfort at bay.
I have gone to multiple chiropractors in my life, and have hated that I had to sign up for never ending treatments, and costly programs that only seemed to provide relief as long as I was getting my neck and back cracked. With Nucca there is no violent neck cracking, or long term programs. I was x-​rayed my first visit to determine the misalignment and then adjusted twice with a procedure you can hardly feel. Dr. Woolf clearly explained this unique form of Chiropractic work to me, went over my misalignments answered all of my questions. The office is modern, clean and has a great (relaxing feel to it). I am proud to say that it has been over 9 months since I initially saw Dr. Woolf and I feel great!
I can highly recommend him to you, and have already referred family and friends.
