Through the visits, Dr Durkin has helped me to recover my physical activity to a more normal expectation level. It's a work in progress, but from where I started from, possibly the worst ongoing physical pain where nothing seemed to help, to that of today, where I'm more active, and use minimal of any relief for pain. I look forward to being my best. Hope lives!

This is the second time Dr. Durkin has treated my back issues and within hours of the first visit, I noticed an improvement. He asks a lot of good questions and consults the patient when coming up with a plan for care both inside the offices and when you go home. Overall just a great experience.

He's helped me in getting real results, empowering me to strengthen, as well as greatly reduce the pain I've been experiencing for a very long time. Since seeing Dr. Durkin, I've been getting better over the course of time, far more than I ever hoped. It's better than any prior chiropractor or physical therapy I've ever had. I'm certain that there were some occasions that would have gotten me into an ER but with what I've learned, and been conditioning, improving, the pain that comes is now being managed. Hope is alive!

Dr Durkin is the first person who has been able to tell me why I am in pain, what my problem is, and how to go about treating it. He has wonderful bedside manner and is determined to fix the root issue, not just treating symptoms. He is very personable, very skilled and knowledgeable in his field. This is the first time in over a year where I am finally not in constant pain due to Dr. Durkin. I greatly appreciate his knowledge and ability to treat my issue. He is awesome!

Dr. Durkin is by far the most comprehensive, knowledgeable, multi-disciplinary chiropractor I have ever met! He focuses on muscle groups, underlying causes, and a personalized treatment plan for the presenting condition. He proves the old "quackery" myth to be absolutely wrong, demonstrating holistic, thorough treatment of the problem while utilizing different modalities in treatment.

Unquestionably provides the very best help with not only managing pain, but more importantly, helping me to understand why I'm doing the practices at home, in a way that I relate to. Dr Durkin keys in on each concern, and communicates what I need to focus on or minimize during the exercises, to get the desired result, and gives the benefit of confidence that it's within my control. His listening skills, in that he's hearing what's being asked, clarifying, and communicating targets for next steps, are a relatable and gets results. It works, thank you!

This was my first visit to a chiropractor. The idea of being treated by one had always scared me, but I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't realize that chiropractors were so skilled in assessing the causes of back and hip pain. Dr. Durkin zeroed in on a weakness in my left hip, that I was unaware, of in just one visit! I look forward to future visits and will highly recommend seeing a chiropractor to anyone suffering chronic pain. I'm hopeful that this will be a solution to the back problems that I've been suffering from for years. :)

My experience with Dr. Durkin has been amazing. I came in with low back pain and was feeling frustrated because I felt like Iâ€™d done everything I could. Iâ€™m so glad I came to see him bc just after one month, Iâ€™m basically pain free. Iâ€™d been dealing with this pain for years and am so happy to be rid of the daily stress it was beginning to cause. I will always recommend him to anyone thatâ€™s dealing with musculoskeletal pain.

Dr Durkin is my reference point for the praise I give to NW Chiropractic Medicine. He's on point with helping me address my physical issues. Before my first visit I was in very bad pain, for a really long time. Since seeing Dr Durkin I've made progress with both pinning down the areas that need attending, and getting a means to manage it. I'm having better days now and hope I continue making progress.
