Knows his stuff, it really works – I have had cervical dystonia for alot of years, I been to many doctors and healers hoping for some relief. Dr. Schalow is a NUCCA chiropractor. It is very gentle technique that works on aligning the atlas. I use to have pain in my neck and shoulder every day. Now it is nonexistent most days. I highly recommend Dr. Schalow not only because he is a great NUCCA Chiropractor but because he is a great person as well. What I also like about Dr. Schalow he offers other modalities realted to the wh... read more

Painless adjustments – Over 45 years ago I started going for chiropractor adjustments for headaches. Some years ago I was involved in a car accident and my lower back was injured. I recently started having trouble with my left wrist. I have seen a number of Chiroprators over this time frame but I have never had an adjustment that is so gentle and WORKS. Dr Schalow practices a procedure called NUCCA there is no twisting of my neck no pushing on my back. This Upper Cervical correction of the atlas has me feeling the best I hav... read more

Best Chiropractor – Dr. Schalow is an excellent chiropractor. The NUCCA technique of chiropractic that he uses is very subtle but it has a lasting effect. He is very gentle and a great listener. I've lived in many places and have been in chiropractic care for 33 years, and most of my chiropractors were good. Besides my first chiropractor, Dr. Schalow has been the best! He's a keeper!

1st Step Chiropractic for real healing! – I have been going to chiropractors for 25 years. I got temporary relief, but nothing lasting. Certainly not the type of healing process I've experienced since coming to 1st Step Chiropractic for Upper Cervical Care. I had a number of complaints - stiff neck, not sleeping well- I would wake up feeling as if I hadn't slept at all; problems with my foot, high bp, general achiness, low energy,etc. After my first adjustment, I felt pretty mellow. I followed the instructions to take it eas... read more

I thought I knew what chiropractic was about, but then... – I didn't think Dr. Schalow did anything at all, but then my neck and shoulder pain gradually vanished. This is a different way to do chiropractic for sure, and I've been to chiropractors for years. I only wish he was open on ALL Saturdays!
