Eighteen months ago I had a sudden, severe swallowing issue causing me to pass out. Thru various other doctors visits we discovered it to be a response from the vagal nerves basically shutting me down momentarily, yet no medical doctor had a clue of what to do to help me. We finally found Dr. Walicki and Advanced Chiropractic Center and after some testing he knew what to do to help me. Using various treatments, supplements, therapies and adjustments he has helped me get back to normal with eating and swallowing and I think saved my life. Dr. Walicki is very highly recommended not only to keep your back straight but to help you with those other nagging issues that other medical "professionals" cannot seem to help with. 5 stars all around.

September 2025, I fell down some steps, and a foot ligament, along with its outer layer of bone, painfully detached. Dr Walicki's thorough exam and x-rays showed that, with very careful, continuous management, the bone layer and ligament could reattach itself in 8 to 12 weeks. If reattachment doesn't happen, then surgery would be indicated, followed by at least 6 months recuperation time. With Dr. Walicki's usual diligent attention and multiple proven types of therapies, at 3 WEEKS post-injury, evidence showed the bone section and ligament were, in fact, reattaching! I'm at 6 weeks post-injury as I write this, and the injury is well on its way to complete healing! Throughout this treatment period, Dr Walicki has been focusing on the injured area of my foot, and also the uninjured foot, both ankles, both knees, and both hips, as my uninjured joints are messed up due to over-compensating for the injured foot. With Dr Walicki's attention to all lower joints, I will very shortly have complete balanced healing. I am very grateful for Dr Walicki and his staff's diligent personal, compassionate attention!

September 2024, Hurricane Helene went through Western North Carolina, where I live. I was highly affected by the experience, as were a lot of people. In one day, I went from sleeping well all night, to only sleeping 2 to 3 hours a night on a continuous basis. Some called this "Hurricane PTSD". As I was already a patient of Dr Walicki, he began to address this sleep issue. It took about 3 months, but then - unlike my friends who were also affected by this insomnia - I began sleeping 6, 7, and even 8 hours a night, as Dr Walicki worked to balance my brain. What a blessing!

I have been a patient for about 3 years. I began going to Dr Walicki shortly after my Parkinson’s diagnosis. I feel that the additional therapies offered by his office has helped to slow my Parkinson’s progression. The staff administering the therapies are wonderful and I have always been treated with high respect and care. Dr Walicki stays in tune with up to date neurological studies and is always thinking about how to best help his patients.

I have received chiropractic care at Advanced Chiropractic Center for around 18 years. Dr. Walicki and his team provide excellent care. This practice uses a whole body approach for treatment and works to treat the underlying cause for the condition, not just a bandaid fix. They offer various state of the art therapies that are research based to combat your pain. Dr. Walicki is also trained in functional neurology which is a key component to every function in the body and a successful treatment plan.
