Meridian Idaho Gonstead Spine & Wellness

The first time I walked into Gonstead Spine and Wellness, I was in constant pain and barely walking. I was feeling hopelessly broken, but had decided to give chiropractic care one last ditch effort before pursuing back surgery. This clinic came highly recommended by a couple of trusted friends. I was immediately impressed by the detailed intake interview and imaging done during my initial appointment and then the super informative follow-up to go over my x-rays with Dr. Pickman the following day. His astute analysis of my spinal issues and detailed plan of action gave me confidence in his professional abilities and true hope of recovery! A couple of months later and I am feeling and walking SO much better--night and day difference and still improving week by week. I've seen upwards of 30 chiropractors in my lifetime (some good, some terrible) and Dr. Pickman is not just a step up, he's an entire staircase up from anyone else I've ever seen before. His adjustments are well thought out, extremely precise, well documented, and never rushed. You can tell he's passionate about what he does and that he's a man with a plan! Honestly, the whole team is great--everyone I interact with is personable, knowledgeable and helpful. They become like friends and I genuinely enjoy the time I spend in this practice because of them. To work the plan set out for me (based on my personal back situation) has meant a serious time and financial commitment, but regaining my mobility and waking up without pain (basically getting my life back!) has been worth every moment and cent I've spent and then some. I highly recommend Gonstead Chiropractic to anyone who is looking for more than a quick, temporary fix and desires optimal, long term spinal health and wellness. You won't find a better chiropractic practice than this one anywhere!

I had seeked chiropractic care before and found that it didnt help my pain after a few hours if feeling better. Enter Gonstead Spinal Wellness.... The office is very busy with all their employees buzzing around but each employee takes the time to check in with you to see how you are. I was referred to Gonstead for basic chiropractic needs for my back. Instead, the process was amazing. First I got an xray to see what was going on and causing the issue. Then I got chiropractic adjustments. Then they have a physical therapy area with a personal trainer that helps me through exercises to help correct what is out of alignment. Then they put me in a traction machine. Then they offer Shockwave therapy to help on focused pain. Whew. To say that I am blown away with how much care I am offered in this office is beyond anything. They don't just adjust me and send me on my way, they are here to help me make corrections to my body so that my overall wellbeing is better. The Doctors and staff are always so kind and take the time to explain anything I might have questions about. I will never go to a traditional chiropractor again knowing that spine care is more than just adjust and go.

Dr Beau was so patient in explaining step by step every detail to me when going over my X-rays. Jessica and the other office team were welcoming and so friendly. I’m looking forward to a long relationship with this knowledgeable group to keep my body healthy and mobile, able to move without pain, into my 90s and 100s.

What a phenomenal experience! I went in expecting nothing more than an adjustment and a lecture on what I should be doing and how to correct my posture during the day, but I got way more than that, and in such an inspirational way! First off, you are greeted by an outstanding team at the front desk; Jessica is so energetic, friendly, and helpful; she always makes you feel like you are part of their family. Paul's exercise routine will get you whipped into posture-correcting shape in a matter of a few visits, and he walks you through the techniques very methodically so you can completely understand the reasoning behind the exercises that he has you doing. Dr. Todd is a consummate professional and let's you know exactly what he is adjusting, and how that relates to your progress. He explains what your spine does, how it relates to your entire body, and how correcting certain areas of it will effect you in your daily life. Ricky is in traction and he's always a pleasure to work with, especially because traction can be a routine that some people don't enjoy. Here's the bottom line: if you only want an adjustment, then you'll keep going to the chiropractor until the end of time. If you want an adjustment and some guidance to correct the deficiencies that have caused you to need a chiropractor, then Gonstead is the place for you. The staff is so kind and friendly that you'll want to stay at their office until way after your visit is complete. Their focus is on getting you well to the point that you don't need an adjustment and they give you the tools to help you help yourself. Highly recommended, just go in and give them a shot, you won't regret it!

The whole team is my personal training family. Jessica and Mattie at the front desk welcome me each session with enthusiasm knowing I am committed to my personal outlined program. Paul's thorough explanation of movement, stretches and exercises has really been great. Feeling the gain! Ricky's gentle soul assists me with my traction process. Dr Beau heard me, really heard me, the decades old experience that was not good, left me in fear, never to revisit chiropractic care until now. I am all in, all fear gone. I am eternally grateful and blessed by everyone at Gọnstead Spine & Wellness Meridian. My son also a participant in his wellness invited me to the February "Dinner with the Doctors" the rest is incredible history being made. Trevor reminded me that there are many more names here that so deserve mention. Thank you All for your commitment to Spine and Wellness with loving care. Pamela K
