Chiropractic is not the treatment of conditions or disease; rather, it is the restoration of normal body function. Dr. Roger and Dr. Austyn work with your nervous system via gentle spinal adjustments, which reduces stress-related interference to your nervous system, and enhances overall body function. Every single system in your body — circulatory, digestive, eliminatory, hormonal, glandular, immunological, muscular, reproductive, respiratory, and skeletal — depend on the proper function of your nervous system. This approach allows for true healing to come from within your body rather than just a ‘Band-Aid’ approach of only addressing your symptoms.

I have had pain in my arm for over a year. After several visits to my orthopedic surgeon and two cortisone shots it did not help. I heard about Optimal Life when I was at an outdoor festival. Made an appointment right away and it changed my life. The people in his office are so friendly and professional . The most important is that my arm is so much better and almost pain free. I also have problems with my sciatic nerve and Dr. Roger was able to give me relief. I can not say enough good things about what he done for me. They make you feel so welcome at the office.

I thought having aches and pain was just a part of getting older. Not so!! It has been close to a miracle to be free from the constant sciatica pain that has haunted me for years. Progress is proof in digital data and visual imaging as well as just having less pain. All the staff are friendly, professional and efficient. Making the decision to come to Optimal Life has changed my life!

I have nothing but amazing things to say. The care is amazing and I have had great results during my pregnancy and postpartum. My postpartum this round (first time no chiropractor care) I can sleep easier and my back is not hurting as much breastfeeding… and I have a big baby! Bowel movements are easier and I’m not as easily stressed. I had postpartum anxiety my first and this time I am calm and present. Everyone at the clinic is so welcoming which is dangerous for them because I could probably stay and chat all day! I feel very comfortable and my toddler even is excited to come visit because the energy in the clinic is so positive. So grateful I found them!

When I first came to Optimal Life, I had trouble walking and staying upright because of the severe back pain and spasms I was having. I was not a believer, but Dr Roger and his team have changed my mind and my life. In just a few short months, I am almost back to my normal way of living.
Dr Roger and his team always take time to answer my questions and educate me on what we are doing, why, and what the anticipated results are. I recommend them to anyone looking for chiropractic care.

Went here for the first time today because I'm 37 weeks pregnant with a breech baby. Not only was I able to schedule my consult less than 24 hours in advance, but Dr. Roger even offered to adjust me at my consultation. The fact that he treated my situation with the same urgency that I myself felt, was so comforting. I definitely felt he was knowledgeable with both common chiropractic stuff and the prenatal. Such a relief to have found this place for right now and for the future.

Dr. Roger and his team are incredibly professional and incredibly kind! I am always greeted with a warm smile from the ladies at the front desk and two cute dogs every time I come in!! Dr. Roger is very personable and very transparent. When I first started going to Optimal Life, I had persistent knee pain. Dr Roger and his team ran multiple tests and scans so they could find out what was wrong and provide me with the appropriate care. He explained the entire process in great detail, and made sure I had a full understanding of what we were going to be doing. After going for about two months I am now happy to say my knee pain is almost non-existent with about a month of treatment left!! I recommend Optimal Life to everyone I talk to!!

The staff at Optimal life have made me feel like family. You can tell that they all care about your health and well being. They take the time to explain things and make sure that you feel safe. Having this type of environment has helped my health along with the amazing care that Dr. Roger has provided with my own personal plan. I highly recommend his practice to everyone! He has truly helped improve my body and mental health.

My whole family comes here now! Dr Roger is very professional and has changed my whole world around in just 3 months! I have no more shoulder or lower back pain, my wife has fewer migraines and my children are both like different people now! The whole staff is super knowledgeable and friendly we love them!

I first came to Dr Roger because I had an impact injury on the ice. But he has done so much more for my health than just addressing that injury. Dr Roger has assessed and cared for my nervous system which has helped my organs function optimally and aided my healing from cancer. My oncologist has asked "What are you doing!?", because I'm not following standard medical protocols...and cancer is disappearing. I attribute that partially to Dr Roger keeping my nervous system functioning well. Thank you, so much, to everyone at Optimal Life Chiropractic. I am beyond grateful!
