“Dr. Comey is an awesome Chiropractor. I was very sceptic about the treatments. I was having pain in neck and shoulders. But I gave Dr Comey 6 weeks and I was feeling a total difference before the six weeks. They treat you like family. I would highly recommend Comey Chiropractic Clinic.”

Missy H

“Dr. Comey, Jennifer and Diane have all been wonderful to work with over the past decade. They are kind, patient, personable and very helpful. Thank you Comey Chiropractic Clinic for all you do to help my family and I lead a healthy and pain free life.”

Michelle C

“I have been seeing Dr Comey since 2004. He did an outstanding initial assessment. He’s immeasurably wise in the area of nerve pain. He has always taken me through the years when I have flares with my Trigeminal neuralgia. It’s been a blessed to have him and I’m most grateful to him and his wife.”

Kathleen D

“Awesome Doctor with an Awesome Staff! Dr. Comey treated me aggressively with laser, magnets, and other modalities. Now I have my full life back and go for occasional maintenance treatments. He was an answer to many prayers. Highly Recommend him.”

Georgette S

“Dr. Comey, Jennifer and Diane are excellent. My back and hip pain were so excruciating that I was forced to retire. In addition to gentle adjustments and fantastic therapies, Dr. Comey also recommended stem cell injections. I highly recommend Dr. Comey. If you are your wits end and need help, see Dr. Comey and his fine staff. You won't regret it!”
