Testimonials
"I started going to Shoreline Family Chiropractic back in March of this year for severe lower back issues that I've dealt with for 20-30 years. I began doing spinal decompression and adjustments twice a week for two full months. After that, my chiropractor recommended I reduce the visits to monthly or as needed, which I've been doing since. Before seeing Dr. Paterna, another practice had suggested that I get an epidural injection. He wasn't the first doctor to recommend that, and I also knew friends who tried it but didn't get lasting results. I'm very glad I met Dr. Paterna instead and was able to try spinal decompression. A few years ago, I had looked into decompression at another office, but they required a large upfront payment--thousands of dollars for a full treatment plan--and I wasn't ready to commit without knowing whether it would work. When I met Dr. Paterna, he explained that his office had the decompression machine and offered treatment on a pay-as-you-go basis, which made it much more affordable and less stressful. On top of the adjustments, I also followed the stretching exercises they recommended and combined them with my own routine. This made a huge difference--not only in my back, but in my knees as well. After going through decompression, adjustments, and the exercise plan, I truly felt a real change. While my pain isn't completely gone, the improvement compared to what I used to live with is significant. I'm very grateful for the care I've received at Shoreline Family Chiropractic, and I highly recommend them to anyone struggling with long-term back pain."
"I highly recommend Shoreline Family Chiropractic. I've never gone to a chiropractor before and was referred here by family, and they made the process as a new patient incredibly simple. They walk you through exactly what to expect and do tests to ensure you're getting a focused treatment. Dr. Matthew Paterna was wonderful, super kind and patient with me as he walked me through what I need and how we can improve my quality of life through these adjustments. I also want to credit Des from the front desk as she is super kind and helpful as well! She is very responsive and even follows up regarding appointments to ensure I am still receiving treatment. Dr. Paterna even helped me find a new chiropractor when I was planning to move, showing that he is really passionate about helping people and ensuring they get the treatment they need. If you're looking for a chiropractor, this is the one! Again, highly recommended."
"I have just started week 2 with Dr. Paterna, no regrets. I have to share that the atmosphere at Shoreline Chiropractic is so Positive that it makes everything easy and simple The process starts with conversation, then a few tests, more conversation and then a few adjustments. I did feel relief in a few areas after the first adjustment and the second adjustment. I will be back tomorrow for more! Bob P"
