A couple years ago I got rear-ended and pushed into another car, which ended up giving me whiplash. I tried physical therapy, message and other chiropractic therapy treatments and absolutely nothing helped to reduce my pain 😢 until I met Dr. Sarah, she has the Magic Touch. I am so grateful for her and to be on the right track to recovery 🙏 ❤️

I highly recommend Dr. Tad Norris at Johnson spinal care in Apple valley. I’ve been going to Dr. Norris for about 3-4 years now. He has helped me so much and has helped me come so far with getting my pain under control. I have suffered with neck pain, severe back pain and severe migraines for over 15 years. My migraines would get so bad that I would loose my vision and sometimes my speech. I had tried multiple chiropractors, went to multiple doctors and physical therapy, but unfortunately nothing had worked and nobody could help me. This was also the case with my lower back. It got to the point where I couldn’t go on my daily walks and couldn’t work out. Three years ago I decided to give Dr. Norris a try. I wish I would have gone to him sooner. It took about a year before I started seeing results but it was so worth it. I now have migraines only a couple times a year, where I used to get them at least once a week. I now can go on long walks without having back pain and I have started slowly getting back into working out. I wouldn’t be able to do any activities if it wasn’t for Dr.Norris. I’m so grateful for Dr. Norris and all the work he has done to help get rid of my pain. I’m so thankful for him giving me my life back and healing me.

I contacted the provider to schedule an initial consultation. The representative collected my personal information and inquired about my insurance coverage. I explained that I had recently been laid off and was currently uninsured, and that I would be paying for any services out-of-pocket.
I also mentioned that I had applied for health insurance through the MNsure marketplace, but clarified that I would not be receiving any financial assistance such as tax credits. Despite this, the provider declined to schedule an appointment.
I reiterated that I would be paying for services out-of-pocket, but they maintained their refusal. I'm concerned about this decision. Does this indicate discrimination against individuals who are unemployed? Do healthcare providers have a social responsibility to serve all members of the community, regardless of their employment status or insurance coverage?

We are writing to express our deepest gratitude for the exceptional care Dr. Matt Wurgler has provided to our daughter. His gentle, NUCCA technique has been a game-changer, and we are incredibly pleased with the progress she has made since her initial evaluation.
As chiropractors ourselves for over 10 years we had high expectations for our daughter's care. However, we realized that we weren't achieving the desired results we expected to have so we knew we needed help. Our conversation with Dr. Wurgler over the phone reassured us that we were in the right hands, and we were confident that he would be able to help or at least give us guidance on what our next course of action may need to be.
Even though we had to travel a considerable distance (over 500 miles), we knew it was worth it. From the very first appointment, we saw a noticeable difference in our daughter. His expertise and compassionate approach have given us renewed hope.
We encourage others who may be struggling with their health, despite having sought treatment from other chiropractors and health care providers, to consider seeking care at Johnson Spinal Care. Even if it requires traveling a long distance, the benefits are well worth it.
Thank you, Dr. Wurgler, for being a truly exceptional healthcare professional. We are honored to have you as a mentor and role model.

I brought an infant who was in my care for an extended period of time to see Dr. Norris. This baby had serious acid reflux issues and had 12-15 episodes a day. An episode consisted of projectile spitting up through both nose and mouth. After just 4 visits, this little baby was basically free of these episodes! I highly recommend Dr. Norris - he was so tender with the baby. And the adjustments were so gentle that it hardly seemed like he did anything. But he obviously did!

2 years later- I am holding my adjustments and feeling great when I am in! I had no idea how much pain and discomfort I was enduring on a daily basis until that pain disappeared! I believe everyone should see a NUCCA chiropractor! I switched to Dr. Sara for location convenience and she has been wonderful to work with- very talented and kind.

Johnson Spinal is the best, and Dr. Sarah Gamoke is truly amazing!
I used to struggle to make it through my day without having to pop several Advil throughout my day. After going through 3 different chiropractors, an acupuncturist and a massage therapist in 5 years without releif, I gave Johnson Spinal a try as a last ditch effot, and I'm so grateful to Dr. Sarah for finally giving me back some semblance of a normal life! While I still have the occasional flare-up, it's nothing like the debilitating back pain I had before going to Johnson, and my daily Advil habit is gone.
For those on the fence, Johnson is nothing like a traditional chiropractor. Their methods defy all logic as treatment is shockingly gentle (they use an adjustment method called NUCCA for a painless, almost massage-like treatment), yet are surprisingly effective. Their cost per visit is higher than standard chiropractors, but their treatment plans also require fewer visits to see results, so the overall plan costs are pretty comparable.
I also highly recommend Dr. Sarah. Not only is she great at fixing backs, she's also just a delight to be around. All the team is phenomenal, really, and recommend Johnson Spinal to anyone and everyone!

Dr. Johnson and his team (I've dealt with 2 of his offices) are all top notch. Friendly, courteous, efficient, and on-time. And Dr. J's care is first rate. Not your typical "bone cracker"...if you've had limited success with your standard Chiro, give Dr. J and his upper cervical techniques a try. I think you'll like it.

I drive 2.5 hours EACH WAY to get adjusted by Dr. Whitney because it has honestly helped me feel like me again!!I spent the last 1.5 years with excruciating pain at the base of my skull. It wrapped around to the sides of my head and into my jaw. Nothing I did would alleviate this pain. I tried everything. Chiropractors, massage, physical therapy, red light therapy. I had an MRI done, I saw a neurologist. No one had any answers. I couldn't believe no one could help me. I was desperate, but I didn't give up. I continued to research on my behalf. Then one day I saw a video that asked if you were experiencing any of the following symptoms. Headaches, clenching teeth at night, dizziness, brain fog, eyes in and out of focus, tunnel vision, feeling faint, extreme fatigue, on and on it listed symptoms that I could check yes to. I clicked on the profile. NUUCA chiropractor. With one adjustment, I felt relief. Now, two months later, I have more good days than bad, and honestly, that is a miracle in my book! All other symptoms that I had no idea were connected are slowly disappearing. I have gone to a traditional chiropractor for over 20 years and worked for one for 10. I am a huge believer in chiropractic, and it has helped me in many ways. NUCCA is different. NUCCA has changed my life!!

I broke my mid back in 2014 after a bad landing with a snowmobile. I was in a back brace for 3 months. I had no pain for 7 years until the degeneration caused by fracture had not only affected my mid back but also my neck. I had awful chronic pain for three and a half years, along with daily headaches. I tried numerous treatments, including nerve ablation, to kill the nerve causing the pain, but the pain always returned, and all these avenues were only a temporary fix, if they worked at all. I came to Johnson Spinal Care when my quality of life had gotten so bad. I was feeling more and more deprrssed about the chronicity of the pain that I thought would be my daily fate. But after only eight or nine adjustments, I feel like I have experienced a miracle! I have zero pain!! I am so thankful I found this place, and thank God every day for taking away this burden. I feel amazing. I know this technique for spinal care is the answer for so many people looking for relief and wanting their old life back. I hope many others give them a chance to make a miracle happen.

Chris had a phenomenal plan, and it began to work almost immediately, allowing me to actually start living my life again.
They also worked with my car insurance to make sure all the financial burden was handled and were on top of every part of my treatment.
I couldn’t recommend this enough!

Johnson Spinal (Savage) has been nothing short of a stellar experience. I was skeptical to begin with as I didn’t know much about upper cervical chiropractic care (NUCCA) - only anecdotally. I’m sure glad I gave it a try! I’ve had vestibular migraines for 4 years and do various treatments (craniosacral therapy, massage, acupuncture, diet, PT, etc) and I feel like NUCCA was the missing link. I am finally at a point where I have only short bouts of dizziness and the frequency and intensity of my headaches and migraines is greatly diminished. My neck and traps feel a million times better.
As for the clinic, the people are top notch. Very nice and welcoming. Super efficient. They have payment plans to help make it more affordable. Dr Chris has been a pleasure to work with - he’s very professional and knowledgeable.
If you’re on the edge or not quite sure…just do it! You won’t be disappointed.

I've gone to chiropractors for many years. But none of them have helped me as much as Johnson Spinal Care has. My neck pain was so bad I had to miss work; my range of motion was so limited I was worried about driving. The NUCCA method was just what I needed. I'm back to normal and staying in alignment with monthly adjustments. Their team is so nice, I feel like they are my good friends. Highly recommend, especially if you have neck pain that just isn't getting better with other means. It will be worth your time and money!!

My chiropractic care with Dr. Whitney has been life-changing! I suffered from migraines every other week. As the mother of a toddler, I could not be there for my son as the migraines were debilitating. During my consultation with Dr. Whitney, he educated me on what NUCCA was. I stated, "So you're telling me you can minimize or get rid of my migraine??" I was skeptical at first. But over the course of a few weeks, I've noticed a shift in my migraines, and I no longer suffer from debilitating migraines. I can often be present in the moment with my toddler thanks to Dr. Whitney. LIFE CHANGING!!! 🙌

After 10 years of headaches, vertigo, and every neurologist, ENT, ophthamologist, chiropractor in town, Dr Busch’s extremely gentle adjustments are making a HUGE difference in my neurological symptoms. Her initial CT scan showed a curved and twisted neck and follow-up scans show it straightening out. My headaches have been significantly reduced in number and intensity. The swimming sensation from visual activity has also lessened. The first 2 weeks of adjustments were a little rocky but I felt great after pushing through. Highly recommended treatment.

I was referred here by a friend and am so excited they have a north metro location now so I don’t have to drive all the way to Apple Valley. I’m blown away by the NUCCA technology and can’t thank Dr. Bush enough for getting me in alignment (my left leg was an inch longer than my right leg!). My body had significantly compensated for my spine being out of whack. I don’t have the upper back and shoulder tension and headaches anymore. Thank you for your caring demeanor, Dr. Bush. I highly recommend the NUCCA methods to anyone and everyone!

I usually don’t look forward to appointments, but in the case of Nucca with Dr. Gamoke, I’m definitely anticipating my appointment a few days prior to the day. My posture is now straight! Many of my friends noticed my one hip bone extremely higher than the other one. Also, my shoulders were very off set. My posture looks great in a mirror and my groin pain disappeared! I am so happy that my friend, Judy, told me about Dr. Gamoke and how one gets results. I referred a few people and I hope people realize there are great solutions to pain with painless adjustments! Check out Johnson Spinal Care…you will be wondering why you didn’t discover this a long time ago.

I'm almost sad that it's over and I only need to see her when I feel out of alignment. She is definitely not your typical chiropractor so don't hesitate, give her a try! Thank you, thank you, thank you, I will be forever grateful!

I also highly recommend Dr. Sarah. Not only is she great at fixing backs, she's also just a delight to be around. All the team is phenomenal, really, and recommend Johnson Spinal to anyone and everyone!

Dr. Johnson and his team (I've dealt with 2 of his offices) are all top notch. Friendly, courteous, efficient, and on-time. And Dr. J's care is first rate. Not your typical "bone cracker"...if you've had limited success with your standard Chiro, give Dr. J and his upper cervical techniques a try. I think you'll like it.

I drive 2.5 hours EACH WAY to get adjusted by Dr. Whitney because it has honestly helped me feel like me again!!I spent the last 1.5 years with excruciating pain at the base of my skull. It wrapped around to the sides of my head and into my jaw. Nothing I did would alleviate this pain. I tried everything. Chiropractors, massage, physical therapy, red light therapy. I had an MRI done, I saw a neurologist. No one had any answers. I couldn't believe no one could help me. I was desperate, but I didn't give up. I continued to research on my behalf. Then one day I saw a video that asked if you were experiencing any of the following symptoms. Headaches, clenching teeth at night, dizziness, brain fog, eyes in and out of focus, tunnel vision, feeling faint, extreme fatigue, on and on it listed symptoms that I could check yes to. I clicked on the profile. NUUCA chiropractor. With one adjustment, I felt relief. Now, two months later, I have more good days than bad, and honestly, that is a miracle in my book! All other symptoms that I had no idea were connected are slowly disappearing. I have gone to a traditional chiropractor for over 20 years and worked for one for 10. I am a huge believer in chiropractic, and it has helped me in many ways. NUCCA is different. NUCCA has changed my life!!

Dr Kerry Johnson helped me in 2006 to get my life back after 11 years of dealing with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. I have been well since 2006 and now just visit once a month for maintenance of my alignment. So grateful to NUCCA and Dr Johnson for giving me my life back!!0

I broke my mid back in 2014 after a bad landing with a snowmobile. I was in a back brace for 3 months. I had no pain for 7 years until the degeneration caused by fracture had not only affected my mid back but also my neck. I had awful chronic pain for three and a half years, along with daily headaches. I tried numerous treatments, including nerve ablation, to kill the nerve causing the pain, but the pain always returned, and all these avenues were only a temporary fix, if they worked at all. I came to Johnson Spinal Care when my quality of life had gotten so bad. I was feeling more and more deprrssed about the chronicity of the pain that I thought would be my daily fate. But after only eight or nine adjustments, I feel like I have experienced a miracle! I have zero pain!! I am so thankful I found this place, and thank God every day for taking away this burden. I feel amazing. I know this technique for spinal care is the answer for so many people looking for relief and wanting their old life back. I hope many others give them a chance to make a miracle happen.

Dr. Whitney has helped correct a spinal misalignment due to an auto accident which resulted in whiplash to my neck. I now have more movement in my neck and less pain & less headaches.

I came into Johnson Spinal Care after a bad car accident that left me with awful headaches as well as a bunch of other pain and soreness.
Chris had a phenomenal plan, and it began to work almost immediately, allowing me to actually start living my life again.
They also worked with my car insurance to make sure all the financial burden was handled and were on top of every part of my treatment.
I couldn’t recommend this enough!

Johnson Spinal (Savage) has been nothing short of a stellar experience. I was skeptical to begin with as I didn’t know much about upper cervical chiropractic care (NUCCA) - only anecdotally. I’m sure glad I gave it a try! I’ve had vestibular migraines for 4 years and do various treatments (craniosacral therapy, massage, acupuncture, diet, PT, etc) and I feel like NUCCA was the missing link. I am finally at a point where I have only short bouts of dizziness and the frequency and intensity of my headaches and migraines is greatly diminished. My neck and traps feel a million times better.
As for the clinic, the people are top notch. Very nice and welcoming. Super efficient. They have payment plans to help make it more affordable. Dr Chris has been a pleasure to work with - he’s very professional and knowledgeable.
If you’re on the edge or not quite sure…just do it! You won’t be disappointed.

I've gone to chiropractors for many years. But none of them have helped me as much as Johnson Spinal Care has. My neck pain was so bad I had to miss work; my range of motion was so limited I was worried about driving. The NUCCA method was just what I needed. I'm back to normal and staying in alignment with monthly adjustments. Their team is so nice, I feel like they are my good friends. Highly recommend, especially if you have neck pain that just isn't getting better with other means. It will be worth your time and money!!

Dr. Christopher Whitney and staff are always graciously welcoming: from the moment I walk into the door until I leave with a treatment, consultation and/or next appointment. Dr. Whitney is gifted at listening and discerning, as well as coaching and encouraging his patients! His labors have paid off for me, receiving relief of neck pain.

Johnson Spinal Care has changed my life. I started going to the clinic years ago with severe neck pain. Now I go on an intermittent basis for checkups and minor adjustments. I am pain-free. I highly recommend this health system. Every doctor has been just fantastic and the front-end staff are friendly, caring, and efficient.

My chiropractic care with Dr. Whitney has been life-changing! I suffered from migraines every other week. As the mother of a toddler, I could not be there for my son as the migraines were debilitating. During my consultation with Dr. Whitney, he educated me on what NUCCA was. I stated, "So you're telling me you can minimize or get rid of my migraine??" I was skeptical at first. But over the course of a few weeks, I've noticed a shift in my migraines, and I no longer suffer from debilitating migraines. I can often be present in the moment with my toddler thanks to Dr. Whitney. LIFE CHANGING!!! 🙌
