“I came in with neck pain. The adjustment relieved the pain and I was happy to be able to move again. Every time I'm stiff or have any pain at all, getting an adjustment helps so much and makes me feel much better. Dr. McMillin is wonderful! Always so helpful and directs me on what steps to take to keep paying to minimum. He showed me ways to stretch my muscles in my neck. The massage therapy I’ve also had is also very good. The clinic has always been wonderful! Great customer service. You always feel like you're part of the family.”

Dr. McMillin is professional, personable, and listens to concerns and questions I have. He is understanding about anxieties I may have and is respectful to me. The staff is friendly, efficient, and respectful to clients. As a nurse, I am appreciative and impressed that Dr. McMillin ordered the x-rays I needed before any treatments.

- R.H. (back and sciatic pain patient with disc damage; athlete)
“I came to see Dr. McMillin with back pain. I had seen another chiropractor and physical therapist but that did not help. I have only been able to have three treatments with Dr. McMillin but they have each shown additional pain relief. Dr. McMillin needed to have X-rays to diagnose my problem, and he was very careful to explain my problems and treatment I needed to correct the problem. I felt I received personal care and attention. The clinic is a very comfortable environment. My appointments have been prompt. My diagnosis was very thorough and the treatments were carefully explained."

I appreciate not having to “cool my heels” waiting for my appointment."

“Most recently my neck was stiff after driving to the ocean. Dr. McMillin can always find that ‘spot’ and fix it. I have been seeing Dr. McMillin now and then since first suffering a soft tissue injury several years ago. Dr. McMillin found that I have degenerative disc disease, and he continues to help me care for that. I always feel better after an adjustment. The staff here is always positive and friendly."

When I move my head I have gained at least 30 degrees of motion left and right. The care I have gotten from Dr. McMillin has been incredible. I regularly recommend him to my friends. The massage therapy here is also incredible. Overall ProActive Spine Care has wonderful care and even better staff!”
- L.K. (neck pain with arthritis)
“I had been having neck and shoulder pain and I needed help to relieve that pain. So far treatment has really helped and we are still working on it.

- C.F. (back pain sciatica patient with disc damage)
“I transferred my care to Dr. McMillin because I was having facial numbness. My prior chiropractor of 3 years and my PCP did not diagnose the problem and they ran no tests. After the first visit with Dr. McMillin I had a diagnostic plan and tests scheduled. After the test results he provided care accordingly and I began to feel relief after the first treatment, and I have not had numbness since that first treatment. I truly appreciate finding a chiropractor with discretion that doesn’t over-treat. Aside from healing the cause of my symptoms, I also received something that my other practitioners did not offer – validation that I was truly having a problem and that I was not simply over-reacting or complaining. Over the course of 2 years repeating my symptoms to other doctors over and over I felt voiceless and unheard. Dr. McMillin took the time to hear what I was saying, design a proactive plan, and make certain that I was part of my treatment solution. His staff is reflective of his treatment standards. They are personable and efficient and enthusiastic about helping their patients achieve a healthier standard of living.”
- A.M. (neck pain and facial numbness patient; athlete)
Lower back pain that hadn't been helped by another chiropractor resulted in a referral to Dr. McMillin. He was professional, a good communicator, and knowledgable. My back was very bad when I started treatment but now I'm back to my active lifestyle that includes working out at the gym, hiking and snowshoeing. What I REALLY liked about the treatment was the use of the CentriForce bar. It enabled me to engage in rehab at home and I'm convinced that it was an important component to my recovery. I've referred a friend to Dr. McMillin for low back problems and he had the same outcome-excellent."

I started seeing Dr. McMillin for significant back pain after treatment with another chiropractor was unsuccessful. The defining factor that led to the recovery of my back pain was the use of a weighted bar for only minutes a day. Dr. McMillin was one of the developers of that approach. The use of this exercise aide and chiropractic adjustments was what I needed to recover. Everyone in the office was polite and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. McMillin whenever anyone is having back pain. Dr. McMillin was attentive and competent. He answered my many questions with clarity and patience. I saw him on and off for a few years (he also helped with out with a shoulder injury) and thought his treatment was appropriate and helpful."
