Dr. Neil Fico
“I chose chiropractic care because my Auntie Brenda said it might help me. You see I have ADHD so my mom called the office and asked Why Dr. Fico and not another chiropractor? Ms. Robin was kind enough to tell mom Dr. Fico treats all aspects of the person and not just the body. So I started my adjustments and they felt cool! I loved going to see Dr. Fico. I didn’t notice anything at first but my mom says that I wasn’t as emotional as I usually get especially during frustrating times. I started to calm down a bit.
I used to eat many carbohydrates for breakfast but Dr. Fico asked me to eat more protein. The sugar in the carbs actually added to my hyperactivity. Go figure!
Now 3 months later I feel great and see Dr. Fico once a week. I have been eating dinner calmly with my mom and dad. I feel like a different person and I thank Dr. Fico and his staff for their caring, warm and understanding ways!”

When I began chiropractic care, my neck pain had gotten so bad that it interfered with everything I did. I started having neck pain when I was pregnant with my first child, over 7 years ago. I didn’t have it very often, maybe every 6 months or so. Over the years, it got a lot worse. It finally got to the point where I knew that it was something that Tylenol and a heating pad (now I know heat wasn’t good!) wouldn’t fix.
I was scheduled to have an MRI done, but couldn’t because of a prior ear surgery. Not knowing what in the world to do, my sister-in-law recommended Dr. Fico. I considered not going because the thought of getting anything adjusted made me very nervous…When Dr. Fico examined me and said that he could help, I knew that I had made the right decision.
It has been over a year and I don’t miss any of my appointments unless I have to. I don’t just get adjustments from Dr. Fico, I also get advice on how to keep myself healthy and I’ve learned to avoid things that could trigger my neck pain.
I can’t even put into words how much better I feel. Chiropractic care has changed my life. I can’t imagine taking caring of my two small children with the neck pain I was having before going to Dr. Fico. He has truly been a blessing.
-Robbie Cooper
“I am a dental hygienist and my job is very stressful to my neck and upper back. When I first came to Dr. Fico, I was in a lot of pain and found it hard to get through a day of work without pain. He got me out of pain and on a program to keep me that way. When I am in alignment my general health is better and I am comfortable working and am able to keep up with my two boys. I have been very satisfied with Dr. Fico’s care and recommend him frequently to friends and patients.
Chiropractic care has enabled me to live and work without pain. I don’t fatigue as easily when I am in alignment.”
-Andrea Rametta
"I came to Fico Chiropractic when the lady crashed into our car with us in it. She wasn't nice and didn't care about us. I had to miss school and my neck hurt a lot. I used the "dolphin" table. Dr. Fico "uncrinkled" me! I really like Dr. Fico, Miss Robin and Miss Terri. They're nice. They make me grow straight and give me stickers when I leave. I feel better now."
- Zoe Thornhill
"Having been examined by my family doctor, and then a number of specialists, over a period of eighteen months, the pain in my back, my right side, and lower abdomen was not getting any better. I decided to visit Dr. Fico and see what he could do. He was able to help me in the past with an injury to my neck and upper back (great results).
I was frustrated from seeing all these doctors and not getting any answers to what was causing all the pain and discomfort. Not only was Dr. Fico able to diagnose the problem but after a few visits the most severe pain and discomfort was gone. Through adjustments, electrical stimulation treatments, exercise, and some good advice on proper posture, I am well on the road to recovery.
Through this process, I have learned the advantages of an exercise program, and proper posture. I have gained some flexibility and these simple tools will help me to avoid future problems.
I would like to thank Dr. Fico and his entire staff for their care and concern. I will practice what he preaches."

"This past June, I was in so much pain from my neck and upper back that I could not function. I knew I needed help but really didn't want Cortisone shots or prescription drugs. I kept thinking in the back of my mind that maybe a Chiropractor would help me, however I had never been to a chiropractor before. My neighbor recommended Dr. Fico, so I made an appointment. I feel that was the luckiest day of my life. Dr. Fico explained to me what had happened to my neck and back, and that it had been a result of many bad habits over many years. Dr. Fico has educated me about how important my spine is and how to keep my body functioning correctly. I am now aware of correct posture, not crossing my legs, proper nutrition, keeping my handbag off my shoulder and daily exercise.
Terri, Linda and Robin also make my visits a great experience. Their smiles, caring attitude and professionalism makes my office visits something to look forward to.
I've been going to Dr. Fico for four months and now I am functioning normally without pain. I will continue to see Dr. Fico because I am pain free without the need for Cortisone or prescription drugs (be sure to ask about the free t-shirt - I love mine!)."

"For 35 years I have been receiving chiropractic care in various places all around the USA. It has made a tremendous difference in my life as to whether I lived without pain by sitting up in a chair to sleep all night and barely being able to walk and move about the next day.
Thirteen years ago I was in a severe accident which left me with many spinal fractures and a smashed hip. As time went by, I was confined to a wheelchair and unable to continue to do my normal routine. I finally had to total hip replacement and then began the long weeks of therapy but that still did not stop the pain in the back, neck and shoulder from the fractures. Dr. Fico began adjustments to the painful areas and worked carefully around the hip replacement. In a few weeks I was moving around quite freely again and there is now little or no pain.
In addition, Linda (Nutritional Consultant) helped me start a wonderful new healthy and natural dietary plan for life. With her help I have dropped 18 lbs. in two months without sacrificing a thing but sugar. I have started an independent exercise program which I follow daily. I feel wonderful, like my old self again. There is certainly a great need for chiropractic care. Thank you Fico Chiropractic. I am grateful to be free of pain!

"I had injured my neck during a workout at the local gym. I could not turn my head to the left side. I have used chiropractic care for 25 years and asked around for a good chiropractor. One of the trainers at the gym told me about Dr. Fico. I immediately made an appointment to see him and was very impressed with his healing talents. I have been to a number of chiropractors during the past 25 years and Dr. Fico is one of the best, if not the best I've worked with.
My neck was in good working order within two treatments. I have continued to have my monthly adjustments just to keep my body tuned up correctly. With chiropractic care you can expect a good amount of flexibility with the movement of your body. An adjustment once a month does that for me. I will be a chiropractic patient for life. Dr. Fico is a good person to have in your arsenal for your health along with good nutrition and exercise."

"I wish I would have visited a chiropractor first... after years of visiting specialists and finding no relief from expensive injections and medications, I tried chiropractic. I would have saved myself a lot of time, pain and money had I visited Dr. Fico first, not as a last resort.
Dr. Fico was highly recommended by a friend and patient. I have chronic lower back pain that is inoperable and had found no relief from expensive injections and medications. I had tried everything else - chiropractic was a last resort.
Chiropractic care has enabled me to have a healthier lifestyle, without injections or medications, and less pain. Dr. Fico has taught me exercises and stretches to strengthen my muscles and I can play golf again - something I had given up."
