After 4 weeks of shoulder pain I decided to see a chiropractor and asked my insurance carrier if I was covered. They said yes and asked if they could recommend one for me. They said Dr Snyder has a 5 star rating so I called and made an appointment. He set me up an appointment to get x rays. My first time in he got right to the problem. Later that night I realized my pain was gone, amazing. The pain came back after a few days but not nearly as bad as it was before and it went away after few hours. Next visit went well and each visit seems to improve my condition. I’m very pleased with Dr Snyder and couldn’t be happier with the results.
Dr. Mike has been very helpful in teaching me how to manage sciatica pain and other injuries I’ve dealt with in the past. His adjustments have made a major difference for me, and he’s a great listener who takes the time to understand what’s going on.
I also really appreciate that he focuses not only on addressing the issue, but on teaching you how to manage it yourself and become more self-sufficient. Much appreciated! 💯

I started seeing Dr. Snyder about six weeks ago for pretty severe back pain. I am trying to avoid a second major back surgery, which I was told I needed by a Newport orthopedic surgeon. Dr. Snyder's adjustments have lessened my pain and I am very hopeful regarding avoiding another surgery. He is also very good about explaining what and why he is doing a particular adjustment.

Hip pain
I was referred to Dr. Snyder by another physician who thought I should see a chiropractor instead of an orthopedic doctor. I was in pain for many months with pain and tightness in the hip joint. After 2 months of treatment with Dr. Snyder, I am now walking with little discomfort. Dr. Synder explains your treatment plan and shows you where and why you are having your problem by his skeleton spine hanging in his office. I love it....

Dr Snyder is awesome. I’ve had chronic lower back pain for the majority of my life, particularly my L4/L5 vertebrae. Unlike some other chiropractors, he really takes the time to diagnose your particular issue and comes up with treatment plan that’s dedicated to your needs. Very affordable too for someone like me who is too young for insurance to cover any back pain. He’s a pleasure to converse with and I always leave healthier and happier than when I arrive. Absolutely recommend.

Dr Mike was Amazing he took me right in when I was in pain. He took a lot of time with me explaining what was going on in my back then worked to get it unstuck. Also gave me lots of stretches and exercises to help going forward!!
Thank you Dr. Mike

Glad to hear you're feeling better, Carly.
Dr. Mike has been a great help to me. Been struggling with mysterious stiff ankles, achilles tendinitis, and foot pain in spite of being active with stretching, yoga and hiking. He recommended a series of specific stretches, chiropractic adjustments and massage techniques that have produced great results. I especially appreciate that he is very personable and easy to schedule appointments with - not always the case with specialists.

The doc has done it AGAIN! I had another intense, dramatic collapsing of the back (level 10). He accommodated me ASAP, like last time. The doc swiftly got me down to a moderate level (5/6), eventually getting my L5 back to its optimal placement. This is a great chiropractor!

Much improvement. I went for a total of 20 visits and the numbness of my arm completely went away. The adjustment(s) only takes about a minute. I’m usually in and out of his office in 5-15 minutes depending on the wait time. I would recommend Dr. Mike for chronic back or neck issues.

Glad to hear you’re doing better💪🏼
I'm trying to stay active and still play golf at 79. Have had off and on lower back issues. I've been seen by several chiropractors over the last 40 years. Many of them have retired or moved out of OC. I'm so grateful that Dr Snyder was recommended to me by a medical doctor with Hoag Medical Group. "Dr Mike" is very professional and genuinely trying help me get back to playing golf and being as active as possible. He insisted on reviewing my X-rays before beginning treatment and refers to them periodically. I understand that there may not be a "miracle cure" for my backache but it sure seems like a miracle that I found Dr. Mike.

Arnel, I’m happy to hear it’s gotten easier to swing the clubs
For like 5 months I was suffering from some strange tightness and pain in my leg that moved down my leg and into my foot. I tried a bunch of stretching and yoga on my own to try and fix it and nothing helped. Assuming it was probably some sort of nerve issue since it was moving around, I set up an appointment with Dr. Snyder. Over the past few months I have seen that problem and other problems minimize. I was also suffering from positional vertigo from an old roller hockey collision. Though some neck adjustments, he has been able to reduce those symptoms also. Getting old sucks and what used to work when I was younger doesn't work anymore. Dr. Snyder has really helped minimize my symptoms. Highly recommend.

Very knowledgeable on the issues you might have ! He does the rehab on only the areas that are in pain or swollen! I was very pleased with how easy and fast his service was ! You make your appointment and pretty much that is when your session begins !

Dr. Snyder nursed my spine back to health after a debilitating herniated disk that didn't even allow me to sit without pain. Eternally grateful.

Mike is the best. He really looks into your situation to get to the bottom of what is going on. Lots of chiropractors can leave you wondering if the problem will resolve and Mike really gets to the source of the issue and helps address it. Highly recommend.
