EXCELLENT Based on 43 reviews Posted on Brandon IlligFebruary 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Nick helped me with my lower back pain and has done the best chiropractic adjustment I’ve ever had! He takes his time by learning you as an individual then explaining the issues and process he uses each session! His dry needling helped tremendously as I was a bit nervous at first to try it but felt amazing after! I recommend all my friends and family to Dr.Nick for any chiropractic needs!Posted on Charlie EllisFebruary 4, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. At age 61, after meniscus repair surgery and stalled recovery progress for 6 months, I was referred to Dr. Nick. His shockwave therapy and adjustments changed everything — my knee feels great again, no pain and back to trail running strong again.Posted on Adam HarrisonSeptember 25, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nick Manteris is the best chiropractor my family and I have ever had. He is an expert at finding and relieving all kinds of health issues, whether it be through bodywork, needling, or advising us on stretches and exercises that will help us avoid injuring ourselves in the future. His warm and approachable bedside manner has endeared him to my teenager and my small children alike. He is patient, and I never feel rushed out the door like I have with other providers. I absolutely recommend him for anyone’s chiropractic or PT needs!Posted on Tracy EglerAugust 8, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Nick is incredibly knowledgeable and holistic in treatment. He strives to align the most effective modalities for the situation. I have a complex ankle injury that affects my posture, gait, hips and knees. He has taken the time to explain all the components and identify the right treatment to ensure positive progress. I love that he isn’t in to building billable therapies, but rather, truly wants to drive result oriented therapy. Prior to my injury, I frequented Dr. Nick for effective, overall wellness. Post injury, I trust him to be a vested and effective expert in my recovery journey.Posted on Cheryl StClairAugust 7, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently saw Dr. Nick Manteris for painful rotator cuff tendonitis. Dr. Nick suggested Shockwave therapy treatment, after 6 sessions, I have full range of motion in my shoulder! I will continue to see Dr. Nick for maintenance and adjustments, he is caring and knowledgeable, treats his patients needs individually, highly recommend seeking his services!Posted on cassandra chepesAugust 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been seeing Dr. Manteris for years. He's adjusted multiple skeletal, muscular and nerve injuries, new and old; including chronic lower back pain since my teens. He treats his patients like family and KNOWS what he knows. I can confidently say I live pain free because of his chiropractic care. I recommend all of my friends and family to Dr Nick 👍 he's the best!Posted on Martha TownsendAugust 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Nick at Flow Concierge is hands down the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. After battling low back pain for many years he was able to get to the root of the problem and I started to feel better even after my first visit. He’s thorough and clearly an expert in his field! Go see him, you won’t be disappointed!!!Posted on Shari WagnerAugust 6, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If I could give 10 stars to Dr. Nick, I would! I was referred to him for Shockwave therapy for tendonitis and labral tears in my shoulders. I'm a personal trainer, so being able to use my body is crucial and the sudden onset of pain made me unable to do anything with my upper body, including physical therapy exercises. After just the first Shockwave session, I noticed an improvement in my pain and movement ability. After about 5 sessions, I was doing overhead presses for the first time in months! Dr. Nick is very knowledgeable about the Shockwave system and how to use it (sometimes along with things like dry needling) to get the best results possible for his patients.Posted on Sabrina HarrisonMay 13, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cannot recommend Dr. Nick highly enough! Not only are his adjustments perfect—just enough force, not ever hurting me. That is just the beginning, he is such an amazing body worker, his dry needling techniques, and Gua Shaw have improved my pain from sports injuries in a way no one ever has! On top of that he can intelligently chat with me about my nutrition, and give me exercises that have improved my health and reduced my pain. Thank you!Posted on Evelyn ThomsMay 12, 2025Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Manteris is amazing! He always knows how to fix my ailments!! I work out all the time and I have a physically demanding job so without the help of Dr. Manteris it wouldn’t be possible.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
