Spinal & Sports Care Clinic Reviews

Very friendly staff nice clean establishment and excellent service

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Sylvia Tripp. She is simply the best chiropractor I have ever met. I loved her professionalism and abundance of knowledge and know how. I am lucky to have been referred to her by my primary care physician after sustaining an injury a couple months back. She helped me get back on my feet so I could stay active and enjoy my family time again.

Dr. Rush did an awesome job adjusting my hips! She really knew what she was explaining and the process of everything. I would go back again if needed.

A very special shout out to Suzie, who does myofacial release therapy--her genuine concern and knowledge have helped me through some old, long existing injuries!! Excellent care and service--from the friendly, welcoming and efficient office staff who actually know your name, to the two Chiropracters I've seen, Dr.'s Choate and Shirley, the care, concern and kindness is over and above.Thank you so much for your awesome care!

Great Place and if your injured this is the place to go get back to better than you was before the injury.

Everytime I have come I everyone was very welcoming and Dr. Rush was a huge help!

Been going here since Halloween 2019 and it has been amazing! Wonderful staff and the chiropractic treatments/massage therapy have been helping me a lot during my current pregnancy. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I 100% would.

I honestly can't say enough about Dr. Tripp. She is honest in her evaluations, tries several avenues and has a GREAT sense of humor. I always leave feeling great, but I don't know if I will feel as good when I know our sessions are over. The visits are more like visiting a friend than a Dr. On the therapy side of things, she listens to what you have to say about your pain. After 3 visits I was concerned because my pain didn't appear to be subsiding. Dr. Tripp went immediately changed her approach and added Traction to the mix and I couldn't believe the difference. I immediately began to notice my pain subside. I would definitely recommend her to my friends and family!!!

Dr Van Dyken has done an amazing job getting my shoulder, neck, and jaw lined back up and out of pain. He listens and works with me to get everything fixed up properly. I highly recommend him!

Dr. Linda I can is the best chiropractor I have ever used

Dr. Shirly figured our my tooth pain after many painful and expensive procedures at dentists and endodontist. It was my bite all along. Highly recommend Spinal and Sports Care.

I have been a patient of Dr. Shirley since 1997. He is an amazingly knowledgeable and kind chiropractor. Not only does he treat injuries, his maintenance appointments keep me pain free if/when something slides out of alignment. The entire staff is great. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Shirley for your chiropractic needs.

I have been going here for 5 years and they are awesome.

I've been seeing Dr. Choate for a few months now for back and neck pain that I've had for years. I'm new to the area and was apprehensive about seeing a new chiropractor but a friend referred me to Dr. Choate and I'm so grateful he did because I have had way less pain after being treated regularly! Dr Choate has been amazing and I have nothing but good things to say about my experiences at Spinal and Sports Care. I've seen many chiropractors in many states and it can be a tough decision choosing where to go but I highly recommend this clinic to others!

Dr. Rush is great! She worked around my schedule and made sure that my plan fit my busy life! She was very personable and did a great job making me feel great in a short amount of time! I highly recommend her!!

Dr. Choate and Dr. Shirley are the best! Gentle caring chiropractic care they have been helping me with back and hip issues fir 14 years.

Dr Choate!!! I see him on a regular basis for maintenance , and he always cures what ails me!! Highly recommend him to anyone... he is extremely professional yet very personable as well. The clinic massage services are very good too!!!

I have only been a patient for about 4 months now, and I can honestly say that I'm thoroughly impressed. Between the massages and the chiropractic care, I can hands down say this is the best I have ever felt

Get ready, Washington! Our loss is your gain... Dr. Paula DiMaio-Reczek is headed your way.
Paula is fantastic: she has treated me for over 20 years in Pennsylvania, helping me stay active with all of my horse sports and farm chores, through several back injuries, and knee surgeries. She works well with all of my orthopaedic docs, helps address my imbalance questions for riding, and offers good advice and support for overall wellness. She is also a kinesiotape practitioner, which has helped me during competitions.

I came in to the clinic after struggling with severe leg and nerve pain; it was so bad I couldn't be on my feet for very long. After just one visit I was able to take a walk without wanting to ball my eyes out! Thank you Dr. Shirley you are a life saver!

I have been going to Spinal and sports care for a number of years. They keep me upright and walking with minimal to no pain. They are a very friendly office and very accommodating for making appointments. I would highly recommend them to anyone

Such great Doctors! It's was the perfect choice to help recover from concussion symptoms.

This was my first ever experience working with a chiropractor. Dr. Choate was recommended to me by a good friend who works in a similar field. I was extremely impressed with the staff at Spinal and Sports Care Clinic and especially Dr. Choate and the care he provided. I highly recommend this facility for anyone seeking chiropractic care.

I've been seeing Dr. Shirley for a year and half. I started seeing him after car accident and he got me back in shape quickly! He uses many different tools and techniques...

I have gone to Dr. Choate for so many years and he has always fixed my issues. Everyone in the office is very nice and professional. I would recommend Spinal & Sports Care to all of my friends and family.

I was referred to Dr. Choate by a friend 4 years ago for sciatica pt couldn't resolve. I've never felt better!

Had an amazing recovery from a long illness! I'm a 33 year old male,and I had a chronic throat/neck/chest illness that had lasted nearly 3 months. After 6 visits to different doctors (Urgent Care, Primary Physician, ENT) and multiple tests (blood tests, MRI, CT Scan,etc), I was told that there was really nothing 'wrong' with me, except a possible viral infection. Yet, my throat/neck still hurt, was lightheaded nearly all the time, and had a ton of fatigue! So, we decided to give the chiropractor a shot, because traditional medicine wasn't working, and I was willing to try anything at this point. I had seen Dr. Jack Choate in the past for neck/back issues, and had seen great results! Dr. Choate decided to target the muscles in my neck with some adjustments and massage, and on the very first visit, I had EXTREME relief that I hadn't felt in nearly 3 months!! Almost immediately the lightheaded feeling subsided, and the muscles in my neck weren't as stiff and constricting! The pain in my throat/neck were still present, but on a much lesser scale than before. Now, after 5 visits, I am nearly symptom free (still have some throat/neck tenderness that comes and goes), and feel like a normal human being again! I'm extremely grateful to Dr. Choate for helping me get back to the life I was living before this illness! Thank you for everything!!

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Paula DiMaio-Reczek since 2007 and we cannot be any happier with the superior care and chiropractic relief she has provided us over the many years. We have always found Dr. Paula to be compassionate and committed to our needs and providing us with the proper care, understanding and education to lead a much healthier life.

Dr. Paula is very thorough in every aspect of her practice from a patient first approach to a level of care that is all encompassing. Her knowledge and experience in dealing with our chiropractic needs has been exceptional and we have recommended her services to many over the years based on our complete satisfaction with the treatment we have received from her.

There are many attributes that we admire in Dr. Paula from being forward thinking, her commitment to staying current in chiropractic treatment, her listening skills that translate to wonderful patient care and her attention to detail is highly commendable.

We know that Dr. Paula will be successful as she moves on in her practice from Pennsylvania to Spokane, WA. It ll be bittersweet for us to see Dr. Paula make this change but we can honestly say that the residents of Spokane will benefit greatly from having Dr. Paula apply her chiropractic care to them.

Dr. Van Dyken is amazing. My knees have been a problem area for years and thanks to Dr. Van Dyken the pain is gone. My hips even feel a ton better. I am very grateful Dr. Van Dyken put my knees and hips back together. Finally pain free. :)

Dr. Rush is very compassionate, warm, and informative. I enjoyed laughing with her throughout the exam.

I've been a patient at Spinal & Sports Care for over 20 years. I know my appointments will be on time. The care I receive from Dr. Shirley keeps me active and helps me control my neck pain.

BEST. PLACE. EVER. You have to check them out. If you're hurtin' or just need to relax, they can help you out!

I see Dr Choat for spinal manipulation. His speciality: scoliosis. Heart staff all around.

Went in for a massage with Autumn and it was AMAZING! So relaxing. I filled out what spots were bothering me and came out feeling such relief. Highly recommend booking Autumn for s massage!

I have seen Dr. Shirley for multiple injuries for almost 30 years. I an always impressed with the amount of time he spends making sure I understand my injury, the treatment I am receiving, and what I need to do on my own to heal.

As a patient for several years, I appreciate the atmosphere as much as the effective treatment. The front office staff are friendly and work for me on insurance coverages and scheduling appointments.

I get treatment based on my activities, and for the kinds of issues that allow me to get back to those things I enjoy doing. Dr. Shirley continues to use effective new techniques, exercise recommendations and proactive plans as research advances.

I LOVE this clinic. Every practitioner here is AMAZING! You can get therapeutic or relaxation massages that are wonderful, and the chiropractic adjustments are seriously heaven. Special thank you to Dr. Choate for always going above and beyond to keep me vertical.

Update: They're all still wonderful and helpful. I've recommended all my colleagues and friends to this clinic.

The staff is awesome. They genuinely care about how you're doing and want to see you improve. I had a back and hip injury and was in massive pain when I first started coming in. The pain lessened with each visit and I'm so grateful to be pain free.

Always friendly and thorough. Marty does a great job massaging.

Dr Shirley is a very nice down to Earth guy who explains things in an easy to understand way. His goal is to fix you, not have you returning to his clinic for years. I was in a car accident back in 1995 that caused my upper spine to become straight rather than curved. After about a month of seeing Dr. Shirley, all was well. I had to visit him again in 2009 for another car accident injury. This time just a sprain. After just a week, I was good to go.

I worked with Dr. Paula DiMaio for about a month focusing on my TMJ disfunction. Since seeing her I have had limited pain and greater mobility of my entire jaw. Thank you Dr. Paula!!!

Staff is great and Drs are wonderful. Helped my TMJ so I have no pain.

Dr. Jack is an awesome Chiropractor who has been able to fix all my issues with a smile on his face and a great sense of humor. He literally saved my life a few weeks back when I couldn't move due to a hip injury and was able to squeeze me in for his last appointment on a Friday evening!! The staff is also very friendly. If your looking for a great chiropractor look no further! This is the place :)

This place is great. Short wait time and very pleasant staff. Helpful exercise plan to correct my posture and relieve my back pain.

RE: Dr. Paula DiMaio-Reczek
From: June D, patient
I have been a patient of Dr Paula for two years. I certainly wish I had met her ten years ago. She has greatly improved my quality of life through her knowledge and expertise!
At each appointment, she has given me her full attention, taking great notes with an awesome memory! She is current on all techniques and ergonomically correct pillows and cushions for sleeping and sitting. She has helped me with vitamins and supplements to improve my health issues.
Dr. Paula has a warm and caring personality and is deeply vested in my comfort and well-being.
Sincerely,
June

I have had back pain in the past but usually everything was fine after some stretching and rest but recently my upper back was hurting from unknown reasons and would not go away. I was able to call and get an appointment the same day (actually with in an hour). Dr. Van Dyke is a younger chiropractor but was very knowledgeable and great at explaining everything as we went through the process. The ladies at the front were personable. My whole experience was smooth and positive.

Dr. Van Dyken was extremely knowledgeable and explained and answered any questions I had. I will be sure to refer my friends and family to him in the future!

This place is great! Emily and Angela up front are very welcoming and professional. Dr. Ken was very informative and timely. He put me right at ease by explaining everything that he was going to do before he did it. I really appreciated the time he took with me and answering questions and the eventual referral that needed to happen. I highly recommend this office. Thanks to everyone there.

Dr. Shirley and Erica make and amazing team! Ive been seeing Dr. Shirley for a number of years and he is the only one I trust when it comes to chiropractic work. Dr. Shirley has helped me over come several injures from work to a car accident to every single horse related injury.Even without injury I see Dr. Shirley on a regular basis, typically monthly. Beyond being an outstanding doctor, Dr. Shirley is an amazing person. He truly cares about his patients. He is extremely support, listens to everything you have to say and has phenomenal recommendations that truly make a difference. Erica his assistant is a rockstar herself. She is so kind, knows exactly what she is doing and has so many helpful tips and tricks. Honestly Dr. Shirley and Erica are the best chiropractic team in Spokane! I will never go anywhere else or see anyone else. They are truly extraordinary!

Dr. Shirley is best chiropractor. He alway so bubbly & funny. He does a great adjustment for both my husband & me. His staff all very friendly and helpful. Debbie Mace

Love love love Dr. Tripp. If you are in any pain you have to see Dr. Tripp! She not only gives gentle, efficient adjustments, but she is also certified in muscle work, rehab, kinesio-taping, etc. She has an abundance of knowledge that she tailors for your condition or flare up of the day. If you are in pain, she will get you feeling better again!

DR. CHOATE IS AMAZING!!!!!

I've been in physical therapy for years, and never got relief that I do now seeing Jack Choate for Chiro. We started the graston technique ( which is amazing I recommend anyone with muscle injuries or scar tissue to try ) and I couldn't be happier with how I'm feeling. He listens to my concerns, and literally that day fixes everything that I have brought up. Hands down best place I've been. The staff is great too. Very kind and professional. Usually I have bad run ins with horrible reception.

Over all a amazing clinic, and I will refer everyone to DR CHOATE!

Best place for adjustments! Won't go anywhere else!!! Highly recommend them

At this point, I have spent years and years thinking I would just have to deal with TMJ issues and lock jaw for...well, the rest of my life. I've seen dentists, doctors... no one had answers. I was referred to see Dr. Shirley here.... and oh my gosh. He already has made such a difference. It feels so good to have hope that this will get better, and see someone with so much experience dealing with TMJ. Thank you, thank you!!!

I've been going to Spinal and Sports Care for a couple years now and it has always been a wonderful experience. Dr. Shirley listens to your needs, makes sure you're comfortable and gives you plenty of education and access to resources to help yourself at home in-between visits. They even have a special table for safe chiropractics for pregnancy and they recently purchased cushions for both the chiropractic team and massage team to make things more comfortable. It's really worth the time and money to go see this team!

I have struggled for many years with a serious neck injury. I have been going to different Doctors for help. I have been trying many new things and I am excited about this care and approach of strengthening muscles and learning how to care for my specific problem. Thank you Spinal & Sports Care Clinic

Dr. Tripp is a compassionate and skilled healthcare provider. As an active athlete she has experience both on and off the field and the knowledge to help her patients on the road to recovery. Her adjusting skills and various chiropractic techniques make her a versatile Doctor ready to tackle any neuromusculoskeletal health condition that comes her way. In the past I have had a difficult time relaxing when it comes to an adjustment. Dr. Tripp took the time to explain to me the process and gently helped me through my fear of adjustments. Dr. Tripp also explained to me the importance of routine exercise and helped me to get started by designing a personalized home care program that fit my physical needs and busy schedule. I highly recommend Dr. Tripp!

Dr. Shirley does a great job & has a very positive outlook!!!

I have been going to Spinal and Sports Care on and off for over 15 years although it has been about 6 years since my last visit. Question to myself, why did you wait so long!? The staff is all very friendly and professional and the doctor listened well and helped me pinpoint my issues and I am on my way to feeling better already after one visit. Thank you so much!!

If you need a chiropractor. Go here. If you think you don't need a chiropractor, you need one. Go here. They are amazing.

Dr. Choate is the best chiropractor I ve ever seen. Dr. Choate is very talented in his practice and always so thorough and precise. I am usually fixed up in just 1 visit. I ve seen him for about 13 years and I always get better after seeing Dr. Choate. I finally got my husband to go see him and we both give Dr. Choate high marks! The staff is always so nice and accommodating to my needs and schedules. It is a perfect setup to get a massage and then an adjustment at the same location. Thanks to you all for taking care of me! I highly recommend Sports & Spinal in Spokane Valley.

I love this place and I love Dr Rush, and that they hire so many massage therapists--all of them are excellent!! The office staff is very helpful as well and always kind and efficient. I called this last week when my insurance changed and they were amazing with their knowledge base and helpfulness!!!
Good job everyone!! xoxoxox

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Shirley at Sports & Spinal Care Clinic. I am the blessed mommy of a little girl with lots of special needs. While I adore being her mother, my lower back (and the rest of my body) takes a beating. I've ignored the constant pain for 5 years, but finally it got to the point where I couldn't even sit or stand comfortably, and I felt like something was just inevitably going to snap. So, rather than get laid up in a hospital bed, I decided (upon recommendation) to see if Dr. Shirley could help. Little did I know my world was about to change! After the first time seeing Dr. Shirley- who was quite impressed with my twisted hips, hunched and knotted back and shoulders, and practically immobile neck- I started feeling relief. In fact, I commented to my husband that I had forgotten what it felt like to feel so good. I literally flashed back to my childhood, which was the last time I remember my body feeling so uninhibited and free. Dr. Shirley showed me that I have scoliosis, so he put me on a schedule of appointments with him, as well as daily exercises and stretches at home to help "train" my body into the correct alignment. What a blessing this has all been. I am watching my body get (and look) better and better, and I am feeling remarkably better, with hardly any pain to speak of.
As a mom of a daughter who sees many doctors and specialists, I have become very selective with doctors. Dr. Shirley is a very commonsense-minded, talented doctor. He works hard to find the approach that will not only make you feel better, but will also make you STAY better (without spending excessive amounts of money).
If you have any kind of pain (even migraines- I have a number of friends who he's helped get rid of those), please go see Dr. Shirley! Trust me- it is worth the try!

These are the most Friendly, helpful people that I have dealt with. Whenever I call they can get me in the same day! Always willing to answer my questions.Very Pleasant

Dr. Van Dyken is very awesome! He put my neck back together after a good snowboarding crash!! Well done!! I am feeling back to normal now thanks to his chiropractor skills. I like the way he practices by the book and put standard process of care at the top of his work ethic. Thanks a million for your help!
