This is not just your traditional chiropractor. There are different ways of dealing with a patient’s issues, and they help. This is the best my back has felt in 10 years, and we’ve only just begun. Thank you.

Advanced Chiropractic Center was very helpful, and Dr. Walicki knew exactly what was needing help in my body.
Henry

I have had lower back pain for most of my life and have tried many ways to get rid of the pain so I can feel normal and do normal things and to not have a crutch and rely only on. I needed pain meds to get some things done and was scared to have surgery. I finally tried surgery and at first I thought I was getting better, but the pain went back to hurting so bad that I did not want to move or do anything even with pain meds. I was ready to give up and lose hope, and then my sister really wanted me to try Advanced Chiropractic Center to see Dr. Walicki, and so I did. It turned out to be a blessing. Most of all, my pain is gone. I was able to get off pain meds, and I can get out of bed and stay standing up to get the day started. I have a few more sessions, but I’m glad to say to anyone who may be ready to give up trying to feel better to come and talk to Dr. Waikiki to see if he can help, as he not only works on the back and spine but the whole body. Everyone is so nice and easy to talk to. I highly recommend Advanced Chiropractic Center!

Friendly, helpful and professional.

Dr. W. and the entire staff are very friendly and accommodating and go out of their way to assure they address the issues that are of concern. They have many modalities that help make you feel so much better than when you first walked in! Frequency specific microcurrent, chiropractic, and massage all work together for a great total body reset! I always feel so much better when I leave there and everyone is so accommodating and friendly! Dr. W. always addresses and corrects any physical issues I have! I love the fact that there are many modalities to keep me feeling amazing in just one visit!

Best chiropractor I have ever known. I have had neck and back problems for over 30 years and visited many chiropractors in different cities. Dr. Walicki is the best. He listens, gathers all details, looks at x-rays, examines your body, answers all questions, and then comes up with a detailed plan of treatment. He will explain everything and how he can help you. I felt much better just after my first treatment. He is the real deal and can help you too!

Dr. Walicki has an uncanny ability to detect what issues my body is having without me even telling him. Then he fixes them on the spot without causing me any pain or discomfort. I always feel better after a visit. Also the entire staff is friendly and helpful.
John B.

Dr Walicki has helped me is SO, SO many ways. I have several issues with my back, and he helps with all of them, including pain. I heard talk against chiropractors, but this one is different. I have and will continue to recommend him to friends and anyone I talk to.
Willie W.

Outstanding service and care! After receiving consistent treatments from Advanced Chiropractic Center, I no longer suffer from neck and shoulder pain. Also, I no longer have “brain fog.” Dr. Walicki and his staff provide premium service to patients and have their best interests at heart. I highly recommend this fantastic establishment!
Lubertha D.

Dr. Walicki and his staff are phenomenal. He helps with so many different issues you may experience. He works to find the best course of treatment for you and works to relieve the root of the problem, not just provide temporary relief. I highly recommend him! He has years of experience, and he cares too. You’re not just a number but a person.

I happen to work for Dr. Walicki. I had my first adjustment from him a couple of years ago. I was surprised, to tell you the truth, that such a difference was made simply in one visit. Afterward, I was telling my family and everyone about him! I since have heard good things from a couple of my family members, one of them being pretty skeptical at first, but no longer! Dr. Walicki’s initial exam with a patient entails looking for neurological and structural issues with people of all ages. I actually drive a few hours each day from out of state to work for him. Why drive that far when I could work close to home? A doctor who is both a functional neurologist and chiropractor is very hard to find. There is so much to learn there. I wanted to work for a boss with a heart and not money simply on his/her mind. I have been there 3 hours after closing time because someone needed our help. My fellow workers have just as much heart, and I have never worked with such a caring and knowledgeable staff. Sometimes, happiness outweighs money opportunities and convenience, and I am happy working as a team to help others the way we do. People drive hours to see Dr. Walicki. You would be amazed if you saw all the combinations of things he has a person do while they get adjusted, before and afterward–moving the eyes certain directions, your limbs different directions, getting FSM (Frequency Specific Microcurrent) treatment, using cutting-edge technology, etc. Knowing how the brain works with the messages sent through the spine is essential, and he knows how the two are working together … incredible. So many patients there share their exciting hopes with me after working with him. I love being a part of helping someone feel better. If you are a little far from us, I would still tell you, it is worth the drive.
Michelle K.

Dr. Walicki at Advanced Chiropractic Center is a phenomenal doc! He is incredibly thorough and leaves no leaf unturned! He’s much more than a chiropractor and helps with all sorts of issues/ailments. The staff is great, and I wouldn’t want to go anywhere else!
Laura S.

Excellent! I have gone to Dr. Walicki for a little more than 3 years now. NEVER have I had a doctor that was more concerned in my whole health and well-being than he and his staff. I have improved in so many ways related to health, and I am very appreciative of their philosophy and good hospitality.
Joe M.

I was in a car accident and was referred to Advanced Chiropractic Center. I was reluctant to go, but after difficulty completing daily tasks I decided to give it a try. Dr. Walicki relieved my neck and shoulder pain as if I never had it! He is a thinker. He does not do the same treatment for all of his patients like other chiropractors do. I also gained my confidence in Dr. Walicki because he is knowledgeable in neuroscience that goes hand-in-hand with the chiropractic work. It was almost like having two doctors in one! I would highly recommend this office with friendly and knowledgeable staff, as well as the doctor himself!
Jessica M.

Dr. Walicki is very polite and helpful. I get regular adjustments, which he does a wonderful job at performing. It makes a big difference with my back and shoulder. The staff is also great. They are easy to work with and make scheduling appointments a breeze.
Cyrus M.

I have to say I really thought I would never feel like myself again. After trying so many things to help with my back pain and so many doctors and back surgery, I was ready to give up and just say my life is over with. My sister insisted I see Dr. Walicki at Advanced Chiropractic Center, so I did, and it was a blessing! Dr. Walicki was easy to talk to and was ready to see what he could do to help me. The staff is really nice and helpful as well. After going to see Dr. Walicki for just a short time, I feel so much better. I have waited over ten years to get to this point in my life. I can get up in the morning and take on the day without having to lay back down and get nothing done, and I do not need pain meds to move around. I highly recommend Advanced Chiropractic Center. Dr. Walicki not only works on the back, but the whole body. So do not give up– give it a shot!
Mike P.

Amazing doctor! Very diligent in finding the root of the problem! I’ve been to chiropractors before. Advanced Chiropractic Center is beyond next level. Very good! 5 stars for sure.
Kevin M.

After having mixed experiences with chiropractic, this place has made a difference in how I feel! The staff is knowledgeable, and they are very accommodating. Thanks, you guys!
Eric R.

I had gait and balance problems with downhill hiking. Orthopedic MD was of no help. After treatments by Dr. Walicki, I am hiking downhill without problems.
Bill D.

I was in a serious automotive accident recently. My spine was twisted, I had bad headaches and muscle spasms, and I was just generally beat up. The crew at Advanced Chiropractic Center has helped me so much in getting my mobility back, and I am headed to recovery! Thank you so much!
Tammy S.

I have been going to chiropractors for over 40 years, and I can honestly say that Dr. Walicki is the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. That’s saying a lot because I’ve been to some really good ones. His incredible knack of knowing exactly what’s “out”, his deep wisdom of the human anatomy and its functionality, and his caring staff have made me a patient for life. Give yourself the gift of experiencing Dr. Walicki.
Sally R.

Dr. Walicki is one of the best chiropractors I have worked with. I started care this past January and have been so pleased with the progress I’m making. He is smart, intuitive, gentle, and skillful. The neurological component of his care makes him stand out from other chiropractors. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
Tifphanie C.

I truly was at the end of my rope last year when I came into Advanced Chiropractic Center. The entire staff is real and personable. They have seen me go through many emotions, and I can’t say enough of everyone’s kindness and dedication. Dr. Walicki’s approach is the only relief I have found for my situation. I am so thankful I walked in.
Kim S.

Dr. Walicki is amazing! He truly cares about you, the whole person. He is professional, yet kind and generous. Advanced Chiropractic Center provides many treatment options to accommodate everyone from the person who is new to chiropractic to the veteran who swears by it, at whatever level is needed. You can really rest assured you ARE getting best care with Dr. Walicki AND his STAFF! THANK YOU, GUYS!
Cheryl G.

Dr. Walicki always goes above and beyond in treating me. I love seeing other chiropractors in my area seeking his care. I highly recommend Advanced Chiropractic Center!
Dawn W.

I had the most wonderful experience under Dr. Walicki’s care. We had been traveling for 5 days from Iowa, and I was in miserable pain. I found his office on Google, and this kind man agreed to work me into his already booked afternoon. He diagnosed the source of the pain immediately, and after adjustment, I was given ultrasound to relieve inflammation, which was quite pronounced. Afterwards, he checked me, ordered more ultrasound, checked me again, and made sure I was given instructions for a strengthening exercise. He and his assistant, another chiropractor, exhibited such compassion to me, just someone passing through. I was greatly impressed, and I bless God for both of these skilled doctors.
Ann G.

Seeing Dr. Walicki was the best decision I’ve made. He did a very thorough evaluation of my conditions, and with that information was able to accurately select and direct the appropriate therapies to get me better. As requested, he also helped counsel me on healthy ways to eat better along with recommending exercises based on my current situation. Dr. Walicki sincerely cares about his patients and works tirelessly for each one to meet their individual and sometimes ever-changing needs. I cannot recommend him highly enough and truly believe that I can still walk today because of Dr Walicki’s care!
Shirley A.

I had been treated for and working on a chronic problem for a year when I came to Dr. Walicki. After seeing him consistently three times per week and following the prescribed exercises and advice, I can say that I have vastly improved to the point I would say I no longer have a “chronic problem”. I continue to do ALL my exercises and get adjustments when I am in town. I am so grateful for the care, extra knowledge, and help physically that I received at Advanced Chiropractic Center.
Linda C.

Having worked with several chiropractors, I am amazed by how immense Dr. Walicki’s scope of knowledge is in assessment and diverse treatments. He is not a chiropractor, but a functional neurologist chiropractor. He is able to treat neurological disorders, such as concussion, stroke, vertigo and much more as well as athletes perfecting muscular balance, children, and the elderly. Ever wonder why you keep running into things or getting injured on the same side? He can tell you why and correct the problem. He also works with proper nutrition and natural supplements that help with hormonal balance. Thoroughly impressed!
Stephanie M.

When my family and I went to see Dr. Walicki for the first time, I was skeptical of seeing a chiropractor, and after the very first visit, I was a firm believer of chiropractic work. Dr. Walicki isn’t in this field to just make money, and it’s not just a job to him. He truly cares for his patients and really wants them to feel good and be happy. Dr. Walicki has gone above and beyond to help my family, and we can’t recommend him enough! He and his staff are very professional, honest & proficient. We drive about 40 mins to see him, and we wouldn’t go to anyone else.
Stacy B.

Wow, I don’t even know where to begin … Coming to see Dr. Walicki has been the BEST decision I’ve made since I’ve been living in Asheville (almost a year). First let me say that after my first visit with him, he called to see how I was doing. Really? Not just me, but friends of mine went to him as well, and told me that he called them as well to check in. Who does that? I came to his office to have a session of functional neurology. I was skeptical when I was in the consultation. He did some testing on me to see the strength in my body– my hands, my arms and my legs. Even though I came in to treat an injury, I still had the feeling that my body was strong, until he tested me … and, in that moment, no words had to be said. I had no ability to resist and show my strength! Then he treated me. Afterwards, he retested my hands, arms and legs, and incredibly … I was STRONG again!!!! That was enough to show me that this is where I needed to be to get better. I’ve been coming to the practice now for about three months. During this time, I had an another health problem where my dentist had apparently hit a nerve or dug too deeply in my mouth, and the pain was incredible! I couldn’t open my mouth! My dentist was going to send me to a specialist, which of course would be costly. I decided to tell this to Dr. Walicki. In the same session he was treating me for my injury, he added an adjustment to my mouth. There was a noticeable improvement afterwards. Within the next 3 visits, I was completely healed of that! I could go on and on, but what I wanted to say in this review is thank you, Dr. Walicki. You are an incredible resource for ANYONE who’s dealing with pain or a health challenge they have not yet found success in resolving. Knowing what I know about now after having my experience with Advanced Chiropractic Center, how incredibly brilliant and caring Dr. Walicki is, I would say to EVERYONE AND ANYONE who has a health condition or who wants to stay ahead of the game, make an appointment! You will be happy you did. He’s one of a kind.
Hara T.

Dr. Walicki is a miracle worker, and his assistants are angels! My husband had a brain injury that resulted in his being unable to work or function for over a year! I had lost hope when we found Advanced Chiropractic Center and Dr. Walicki, who promised to do his best to help us. We had already been to multiple doctors who hadn’t been able to help us at all. I had been told to try working with a functional neurologist, and Dr. Walicki was the only affordable one in Asheville. Within a few months of working with Dr. Walicki, my husband’s brain injury was 90% better! He has continued to improve and has been able to work again, and I have my husband back! Doctors don’t understand how his miraculous healing happened, but miracles can happen when a doctor really cares about his clients like Dr. Walicki. I love the entire staff here, from the front desk to the incredible massage therapist. They are all angels and healers straight from heaven. I’m so grateful to have found Advanced Chiropractic Center!
Amber S.

I’m very happy to have found this practice! They squeezed me in last minute as a new patient. I had a displaced rib that caused a great deal of pain, and Dr. Walicki got it back in and gave me great relief. Thanks so much. I’ll definitely be back!
Jim W.

Dr. Walicki is the most genuine, caring, and thorough doctor I have ever met in my life. My family is so grateful that we have found his office.
Ann C.

From the front desk all the way up to Dr. Walicki, everyone is down to earth and goes out of their way to take care of YOU and make you comfortable! The knowledge and experience everybody displays is outstanding. THANK YOU.
Cheri G.

My health is improving, and I am sleeping better after years of restless sleep. I am grateful to be seeing Dr. Walicki for my chiropractic care. He is advanced in his studies, and it shows. I was impressed to see another chiropractor seeking his care when I was in his office the other day.
Dawn W.

The doctors are the backbone and the heart to this clinic. Working here, I learned so much about chiropractic and massage. Truly treating the whole person!
Anonymous

This was actually the best job I’ve ever had. I adore Advanced Chiropractic Center and the people there. I only left due to moving away, but if I ever move back, I know Advanced Chiropractic is my family and I would absolutely go back! I learned SO MUCH about health as well as customer service skills, and there are endless opportunities to grow.

ADD and Dyslexia with Brain Performance Enhancement

When I came to see Dr. Walicki I wasn’t in pain but my posture and gait were off. I knew that if it continued uncorrected it would have led to a serious issue in the lower back. After seeing Dr. Walicki my posture and gait are nearly perfect and I’ve never been stronger…on top of that Dr. Walicki has successfully treated my dyslexia and ADD and greatly improved my overall neurology. After starting Dr. Walicki’s care I can see how much sharper my mind has become thanks to his chiropractic and functional neurology work. I feel like my mind is operating at 110%; he brought me back to 100% and unlocked another 10%!

Concussion

During an athletic event I dislocated my rib and later was diagnosed with a concussion. Dr. Walicki worked with me to regain proper neurological function for my traumatic brain injury and spinal stability to help my rib. I steadily progressed more and more until I was pain and concussion free. I don’t think there is another chiropractor even close Dr. Walicki and his excellence in care and healing!

​Concussions with Migraine Headaches

I had multiple concussions in the last 3 years and was having problems with migraine headaches, vision, dizziness, numbness and pain. Upon seeing Dr. Walicki I had immediate relief of pain and dizziness and my numbness and vision are still improving. I was having migraines a couple of times a month and now maybe once or twice a year. I’ve had great results with Dr. Walicki!

Concussions – Post Concussive Syndrome with ADHD, Tics and Stuttering

​A few years ago my son had a concussion from a trampoline accident. He also had whiplash, severe headaches, nausea, stomach aches, neck spasms, sleep issues and balance problems. Despite being treated by pediatricians, 3 different chiropractors and various other therapists his symptoms persisted. After starting care with Dr. Walicki the neck spasms are gone and the stuttering and tics went away in 2 or 3 visits. His headaches have significantly gotten better and he no longer asks me if the room is turning. Also, thanks to Dr. Walicki, he sleeps well now and his hyperactivity has greatly decreased.

Disc Herniation – Lower Back and Leg Pain

I had a pinched nerve in my lower back running down my leg that was very hard to diagnose. Dr. Walicki persisted until he found the cause of the problem and worked with an orthopedic surgeon (for injections and medications) to relieve the pain. Dr. Walicki’s care for the “whole” person has contributed to keeping me very active and healthy. I am much healthier and can do whatever I want thanks to the care I received from Dr. Walicki!

Joyce S. – Asheville, NC

Disc Herniation – Neck Pain and Hand Numb

My neck was painful and my right hand was numb. It was getting to the point after a year of having this that it had very little strength and I would drop things when using that hand. My medical doctor couldn’t find anything wrong. After seeing Dr. Walicki I regained normal strength and feeling in my hand and my neck is not painful anymore and I have better range of motion. I have been very pleased with his care. Not only has my condition improved but I have also improved my overall feeling of health.

Fran L. – Fletcher, NC

Headaches

I had painful headaches along with lower back and shoulder pain. Dr. Walicki always provides excellent care and recovery for each issue.

Cynthia H. – Candler, NC

Multiple Chronic Conditions and Symptoms

I was diagnosed with dysautonomia, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), chronic pain, chronic fatigue, severe headaches, multiple sensitivities/allergies, vertigo, balance problems, Grand Mal seizures, multiple autoimmune conditions which have caused me debilitating (and life-threatening) symptoms that landed me in the hospital on numerous occasions. At other times I couldn’t walk down a hallway without bumping into both walls. I felt like I was moving constantly even when I was sitting still and those were the days when I could get out of bed! I believe multiple traumas, concussions and chronic stress caused most, if not all, of these conditions and symptoms. Over the years I have been treated my many physicians and medical specialists. I have also been treated by practitioners of integrative medicine, naturopathic medicine, chiropractors, nutritionists, acupuncturist and massage therapists. After seeing these practitioners I found that some things helped briefly but most made me worse! My physician and specialists prescribed multiple medications that made me a lot worse. At one point I was on 15 prescriptions. They were prescribing new ones to handle side effects of the other ones. They told me that medication was all they could do for me – that my conditions were permanent and would only get worse with time. I felt like I was dying and the medications were not helping – they were only adding to my symptoms. No one has made me feel functional again until I started seeing Dr. Walicki. I truly believe without his techniques and knowledge that I would, at best, be completely disabled today. I have my balance back, never had another seizure, my heart rate is normal and he continues to help me with the “permanent” conditions. I take ZERO prescription medication and I feel ALIVE! Dr. Walicki keeps me on my feet and out of the hospital so I can continue to live and be of service to my family and all the people I love. He regularly furthers his education and brings back new techniques to help more patients. Dr. Walicki helped me where no one else could!

Leslea F. – Arden, NC

After being involved in a tractor trailer wreck 26 years ago I had severe back and neck pain. After seeing the medical doctors for 6 months to a year, they all said I wouldn’t get any better. I started seeing Dr. Walicki and despite what all the other doctors said Dr. Walicki never gave up on me. He kept on with my treatment and exercise regimen and by doing what he told me I am at least 80% to 90% better than when I started. I have HIGHLY recommended Dr. Walicki! He is a wonderful doctor in a wide variety of fields.

​Pain – Knee, Back and Neck

​I had been in chronic pain for years before I found Dr. Walicki and had seen orthopedic surgeons, physical therapists, acupuncturists and other chiropractors. Seeing Dr. Walicki has been the best decision I’ve made…I am convinced that if it weren’t for the expertise and care of Dr. Walicki I wouldn’t be able to walk!

Pain – Shoulder, Knee and Back

Since starting treatment with Dr. Walicki I honestly have never felt better! My rotator cuff condition which I initially came in with is now doing great and my back which always hurt along with my right knee are pain free!

Ross G. – Hendersonville, NC

Scoliosis

I have had severe scoliosis and pain associated with it for about 30 years. I saw Dr. Walicki and was impressed by the extent of the first exam. He found decreased strength in several muscles and the x-rays revealed a 47 degree scoliosis in my back. After the first adjustment my strength started to come back and my pain decreased. Dr. Walicki also gave me home exercises to help. I started with a head tilt, slight hump in my back and one shoulder higher – which are gone now! Follow-up x-rays also revealed a 17% reduction in my scoliosis. I feel so blessed to have found such a caring and knowledgeable doctor, I’m so thankful I found Dr. Walicki!

Carol W. – Candler, NC

Stress Relief

I have had high levels of stress after years of playing sports and having a stressful job along with a family and kids. The high stress leads to pain. I’ve come to see that Dr. Walicki is always learning new and innovative ways to treat his patients. His results have been fantastic!

Christi B. – Candler, NC

Tics

Our 7 year old son had seen several medical doctors who diagnosed him with a transient tic disorder. We were told there was not much that could be done. In the year that followed before starting treatment with Dr. Walicki the tic continued to worsen to include extreme arm and torso movements. Dr. Walicki and his staff have gone ‘above and beyond’ to help in the improvement of our son’s health. Through following Dr. Walicki’s course of treatments our son has improved tremendously with a close to 80% decrease in his tics. We have also definitely noticed his health and brain function have improved overall. He’s even doing better in school since starting treatment!

Micah H. – Asheville, NC

Vertigo

I had vertigo, difficulty sleeping, neck “cricks” and exhaustion for about 7 years. My physician had no answers after the MRI was “clear”. I saw Dr. Walicki and have had tremendous results! I’ve been months without vertigo, am able to maintain normal activity levels due to normal sleep and my neck pain is gone and feels stronger.

Emily G. – Candler, NC

Vertigo and Restless Leg Syndrome

I was plagued for years by bouts of vertigo and continuous restless leg syndrome. I just took for granted that they were things I had to live with. Well, I was wrong, Dr. Walicki helped me overcome both conditions completely! In addition he has helped my back after a series of serious falls. I have found Dr. Walicki and his staff to be the most caring and supportive group of people.

Susie C. – Asheville, NC

Whiplash and Headaches

I was involved in a car accident and sustained a severe whiplash. This caused frequent headaches along with neck, back, hip and ankle pain. I was referred by a family member to see Dr. Walicki. Dr. Walicki always works to find the deepest root of the problem and then he applies the appropriate therapies and makes the healing process fast.
