I appreciate both the massage therapy and the chiropractic care that I received. I never feel rushed or herded through and take home exercises for stiff shoulder has helped a great deal. Make time for your personal health...make an appointment.
I have been a regular patient of Dr. Custer since 2014. She has provided great relief for my chronic shoulder and back issues. The staff is very accommodating and helpful.
I came to Ivy Commons Family Chiropractor because I have had extensive back issues due to having ridden and training horses all my life and playing competitive volleyball. I went to Uva first and had a plan, however it was difficult to make appointments and often I would have to wait 2-4 weeks to be seen. A couple of friends that I trust recommended Dr. Custer. I called and was immediately made an appointment. I was given a consult which was very extensive, with xrays and subjective information that I provided. Since I have been seeing Dr.Custer the following has happened.
1. I have reduced my ibuprofen intake by 75% 2. My butt and leg no longer ache and I have been able to start exercising with out pain medication. 3. She gave me stretches and also combines therapeutic massage into my plan. I have not felt this good in years. Last April I missed 3 months of work due to my back issues. Back pain has limited my activity in the past, I am very excited to get on with my activities pain free, without surgery or pain medication ....5 stars for Dr. Custer. This is also the first time I have ever written a review . BECAUSE she has changed my life ......Thank you!!
Excellent adjustments; I felt better each time I walked out of the clinic. Staff is very friendly and there is no financial pressure to buy more services or products. I felt well cared for. 2 stars off for two things. I'm a health care professional and consider it a big no-no to converse with my patients about my own personal health problems. Some may think this is a way to show empathy, but it can also come across as complaining, and it isn't the patient's job to listen. The other problem I had was with the anti-vaccine literature in the office. I know this is controversial, but that's where I stand. I will say there was no proselytizing about it, which was good.
Dr. Custer has changed my life! I am 33 and have been seeing Dr. Custer for about 5 years now, initially because I was having debilitating pain from 2 herniated discs in my neck from a work related injury. She made a difference immediately! She is so knowledgeable and really takes a holistic approach, offering take home PT exercises and recommendations for diet and lifestyle. I am an athlete and have a very physically demanding job and Dr. Custer keeps my body functioning properly. I highly recommend Dr. Custer! Also, Jessica at the front desk is beyond helpful with regards to scheduling and the staff overall is extremely friendly and welcoming. Thank you ICFC!
For the past seven years when I have had back, leg, shoulder, and foot issues she has been fantastic to help me return to normal function. Not only does she adjust me she gives me exercises and helps me to know what to do to keep it from happening again.
Some of my issues were very serious and affected my ability to walk . I would recommend her for severe problems.
I love Dr. Custer and her staff. I started seeing her for shoulder pain and then to help with chronic nausea. I have seen great improvement in both issues thanks to Dr. Custer. Highly recommend!
Dr. Custer is absolutely the BEST! Would highly recommend her!
My knees have never felt better. Dr. Custer adjusted my ankles and it has made a world of difference! Thank you soooo much. It s so nice to take a walk without any pain. I m loving it.
