Highly recommended.Posted on Alan LaplanteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After spending many years as a patient of Smith chiropractic, I am happy the transition to Rufus. Chiropractic has been very easy as a patient. Maintaining his great staff of April and Samantha has made the adjustment very easy. This place is just wonderful. Happy to know. I can go here for the rest of my life because Dr. Rufus is younger than me.🤣Posted on Lee RosenbergTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

I had a great experiencePosted on niceguyeddie4871Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been a routine patient of Dr. Rufus since he bought the practice from the Smith’s who were the long time proprietors of this practice at Holme Circle. The transition has been flawless! The care is top notch! Dr. Rufus is really concerned about how your feeling and making you feel better to the best of his abilities. He’s very skilled in his techniques and abilities. He’s a super nice guy who can hold a conversation on any topic of the day. Office hours are abundant during the week including morning into late afternoon and early evenings on certain days. I’ve never had a problem getting an appointment on desired day and time. There’s never a wait either during appointments. The office staff keeps the appointments moving throughout the day. Speaking of: April and Samantha are great! They always greet you and leave you with a smile! They are the reason behind the good vibes you feel when you visit. From first hand experience, I highly recommend Dr. Rufus and his staff to maintain your wellbeing both physically and spiritually. ~Ed SmithPosted on Dhurata PajaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.

At Rufus Chiropractic, we target the root cause of your neck pain, not just the symptoms. By combining proven therapies, we relieve tension, improve alignment, and restore mobility for long-term relief.
Gentle spinal adjustments realign the vertebrae in your neck, reducing pressure on nerves and easing muscle tension. This improves mobility and supports long-term relief without relying on medication or invasive procedures.
Acupuncture improves circulation, calms irritated nerves, and relaxes tight muscles that contribute to chronic neck pain. This treatment reduces inflammation and supports natural recovery, especially after sports injuries or whiplash.
With physiotherapy, stretching and strengthening exercises correct posture imbalances and rebuild stability in the neck and upper back. This relieves pain and prevents future flare-ups caused by computer work or poor ergonomics.
Cupping gently releases tight muscle tissue by drawing out tension and increasing circulation in the neck and shoulders. This method breaks up stiffness and supports faster recovery from chronic strain.
When neck pain makes everyday activities feel impossible, you need more than a quick fix. We focus on long-term relief and lasting function, helping you live better, move better, and feel your best at every stage of life.
