“I was referred to Dr. Claudia Machiella 6 years ago, at the age of 30, when I was experiencing extreme facial pain from TMJ, as well as lower back and neck pain. I had visited other chiropractors and no one was able to help reduce the pain I was experiencing.

Out of fear that I would be living in pain forever and frustration that plans to start a family were put on hold while I dealt with TMJ and pelvic floor dysfunction, I decided to give Dr. Machiella a call. 

She listened to my concerns and displayed empathy when I broke down in tears describing my pain and frustration. She told me that she could help me and invested time into observing my areas of concern. At each appointment she  took time massaging the areas of concern and adjusted my neck and back using her strength and precision. She offered me advice about how to strengthen weak muscles and provided me with stretching exercises to assist with alleviating muscle tension and strengthening my core.

6 years later, and 2 children later, I know I can count on her when I am feeling symptoms of neck and back pain. While I will always be a TMJ patient, I no longer experience facial pain and if I sense muscle tightness, one visit is all it takes to alleviate the issue. She is so personable and knows how to work with patients who have diverse physical issues. She even treated my son who was colic as a baby and experienced chronic ear infections. I appreciate that she and her office staff always make time to squeeze me in for a visit when I am experiencing discomfort or pain. I trust her practice and I am grateful to have a doctor like her in my life whom I can count on to address areas of concern before they become problematic.

Dr. Machiella is honestly the most educated, experienced and caring chiropractor I have ever met. I know I can always count on her to make things right to function at my best. ”
