Hear From Our Patients

Core Chiropractic (Tyler) has been able to provide relief to my husband's neck and lower back due to a severe stroke in 2020, which affected the right side of his body. With treatments, his right arm and hand are beginning to show improvement, in addition to better balance and stability when walking with the aid of a cane. The progress is very encouraging, and Tyler is a great support for him. The office staff are extremely Friendly and flexible.

Margie Burbridge

It was a great first time experience. From the front desk, Ms. Jennifer was so nice and very helpful. And Dr. Tyler was very knowledgable and explained to me clearly the plans to get the pain to go away. By the time we were done with our first meeting, my back felt so much better.

Ryan Semilla

Jen at the front desk was so warm and welcoming—I immediately felt at ease. Dr. Tyler is incredibly knowledgeable, approachable, and intentional with his adjustments. He takes the time to explain everything clearly, which I really appreciated. Both Jen and Dr. Tyler made me feel totally comfortable—it honestly felt like catching up with great neighbors, and it was only my first visit!

Danielle Dupuis

I was experiencing sharp pain on the right side of my lower back/hip area. After Dr. Emmert's treatment, the pain disappeared and after nearly 8 hours, I can still walk upright and bend over to pick things up without pain. I am very pleased with the improvement after just one treatment.

Becky Hendricks

No need to be surprised at all 5 star reviews for Dr. Emmett and his staff. Exceptional service, friendly, thorough, detailed, attentive and helpful. Recommended by coworkers and there’s no going back after coming to Core Chiropractic. Thank you!

Lawrence Hartman

Best chiropractor ever! I first met Tyler when I had a bad back injury and could barely walk. He fixed me and taught me important stretches and exercises to keep my back in good shape. He truly cares about his work and his patients. I would highly recommend!

Deanna Moran

I was injured in a fall and he was able to help me recover! I’ve seen other chiropractors in the past but he’s at the top of my list! Additionally, he listens to what I have to say and is very knowledgeable about which approach to take.
