Dr. Akin,
Another season comes to a close. Another year I have you to thank my athletic accomplishments.
As you know, 2015 was the year of my biking across America! Once again, I credit you to my successfully cycling, 'from coast -to-coast;' 3851 miles!
I am convinced your treatments preceding the event, plus following your prescribed regimen during the ride, made for a hugely successful and pain free 52 days of riding.
Thank you for helping me experience another year of sport.

For the past 15 years I have had recurring issues with my hip on the left side of my body. It would swell up occasionally and be very painful. When this would happen I wouldn't be able to lift weights, run, or do much physical activity at all. It was recommended for me to see Dr. Christopher Akin of "Valley Chiropractic".
I was skeptical at first because I had never heard of Active Release Therapy or A.R.T. After my first visit I noticed that my hip had started to loosen up, so I kept coming back.
I have now been seeing Christopher Akin for a couple months and have not had a single incident where my hip has swelled up and my mobility is the best it had been in over 15 years! I am thoroughly please with my treatments!
Thank you Dr.Chris!

Unable to run 100 meters without pain I reached out to Chris after finding his information on the internet. I had one week until
I boarded a plane heading to Holland for othe World Championchips in Ultra Marathon running. After three sessions with Chris and some much needed RNR I toed the line in Holland.
After running 167.5 miles I won Gold! There is no way I could have gotten on that plane to accomplish this career defining feat without Chris's expertise and hard work. Thank you Chris!

I was referred to Dr. Akin for treatment of debilitating TMJ pain.
Not only did his treatments significantly help my extreme pain in my jaw, he has also helped with my tension headaches, migraines, and back issues.
I have always avoided chiropractors as I didn't want my body cracked and popped, which makes Dr. Akin's technique so different from any other chiropractor.
He does an excellent job of relieving tension in muscles throughout the entire body while relieving pain. He is able to give me immediate relief of my migraines during and after treatments.
Not only is his treatment very effective, he is a doctor that genuinely cares for all of his patients.

I have been treated very successfully by Dr. Chris Akin. I was having extreme shoulder pain and loss of mobility.
I am happy to say that I am almost completely back to normal. I found that he was attentive and friendly.
Through the process I was given exercises and warm ups to do to keep advancing my movement. He uses the Active Release Method which is different then other chiropractic I have received in the past.
His goal is to get you better and moving on, which I appreciate. This has been an extremely positive experience and if needed I will return again!

Dr. Akin significantly improved range of motion in my left arm, injured after I took a hard fall, after just one visit.
I was kind of worried about seeking care because my arm was so painful, but as Dr. Akin worked on me, I could literally feel the blood flow returning, the muscles relaxing. My pain is remarkably diminished.
He is very knowledgeable and professional, but also personable and respectful. I felt very safe in his hands.
I Am Yoga is a lovely setting for relaxation and offers a variety of spa services and custom-blended teas that address multiple needs including reducing stress, improving digestion, and boosting immunity.

I've been a patient of Dr. Akin's for two months. He has helped me completely get rid of my headaches and greatly relieved my lower back pain. His office is nice and peaceful.

Before Valley Chiropractic Care
I am a welder and I injured my arm over three years ago. At the end of a 12 hour shift the pain in my arm would be so bad that I couldn’t hold my arm up. The excruciating pain would radiate up and down my arm. The only way I could perform any work when in pain would be to brace my thumb in between the buttons of my shirt so that I could hold my arm up. I sought care from my medical doctor but was told there was nothing wrong. After dealing with my “fake” injury for three years I sought Dr. Akin for his care.
After Valley Chiropractic Care
My first day of work after my initial care I was able to work the whole day without having to brace my arm. I can now move my arm freely and the pain is only slight. I no longer have the excruciating pain that I dealt with for so many years. The ongoing sessions with Dr. Akin continue to improve my arms function and symptoms.
Before Valley Chiropractic Care
As an automotive technician I am always climbing up and down off of vehicles, lifting heavy parts, and having to lie in uncomfortable positions for long periods of time. The long hours and continuous stress places a heavy toll on my body. Because of this I developed recurring back pain. The pain makes work difficult, it slows me down and my body is always stressed and sore.
After Valley Chiropractic Care
I contacted Dr. Akin for help with my back pain and as a result I feel better than I have in a long time. I have an easier time at work. Not being in pain all the time makes me more efficient, and I feel much more relaxed when I get home. Valley Chiropractic Care has been instrumental in relieving the aches and pains that I was experiencing.
Before Valley Chiropractic Care
I pulled a muscle in my lower back, my knee snapped and the pain went all the way to my ankle. I couldn't walk or sleep from the pain. I was in excruciating pain from my knee and my doctor prescribed Vicodin to help with the night time discomfort. I dislike taking such addictive medicine, so after doing some research on chiropractic care I went to see Dr. Akin.
After Valley Chiropractic Care
After just 4 sessions, I am pain free. Now I can finally do the things I couldn't do, such as walking the dogs, exercising and I can finally have a good nights sleep meds free!!
Before Valley Chiropractic Care
In December of 2008, I was in a car accident. I did not have my seat belt on and was ejected from the vehicle incurring many injuries including a broken neck, broken, back, and spinal cord damage. After surgery and intense physical therapy, I had reached a juncture where I was almost back to normal in terms of functioning and mobility but I still experienced a lot of neck and back pain. For years I was afraid to have anyone work on my back as I was concerned that it might only make my condition worse.
After Valley Chiropractic Care
However, after many consultations with Dr. Akin, I decided that it was in my best interest to begin care with him. It didn’t take long to see the results. After only a few adjustments, I no longer have any upper back pain which I thought I would live with for the rest of my life. As well, I regained some mobility in my neck and also regained some feeling in my back which was decreased from the nerve damage. The rest of my aches and pains which I also thought would be continuous have greatly decreased in such a short amount of time with Dr. Akin and I am more than happy that I came to him.
