I have been seeing Dr. Shirley for about 20 years. I live out of state and know when I see him that he will always have solutions to my ailments. He has best sense of humor which makes the visits funDr. Shirley is the best Dr. I have ever known. I trust him as I age to keep me going in relative comfort.

Dr. Choate was great, I took a fall, could barely walk, he fixed me right up. I'll be back next time I'm in need. Thank you to everyone I met who works there, and took good care of me.

Been to several Chiropractor's in my life BUT, I've NEVER gone to a bigger QUACK as this place. Didn't do ANYTHING that my doctor recommended. And then tried to blame me for his imcompetence. Took my insurance for a ride, too !!!

Dr. Shirley is the best. I often come into the office crooked as hell, but he knows exactly how to fix me. He is also funny and personable which is a bonus. I also love that he treats me as needed and doesn't tell me to come back 3 times a weeks for months on end. I definitely wouldn't go to anyone else.

I was walking with serious knee and heel pain. I had started to limp at try to relieve some of the pressure. At the suggestion of a friend, I called and made an appointment with Spinal and Sports. I was able get in right away with Dr Van Dyken. On my first appointment I was greeted by a very friendly staff and saw the doctor right on time - no waiting. The first visit info was gathered and a treatment was done. I actually felt better that day. I continued to see Dr Van Dyken for a few visits and am delighted to say my knee is totally pain free and only minimal discomfort in my heel, which is healing. I strongly suggest making an appointment today.

Job Applicants BewareTL;dr: they called me in for an interview, ignored me and then ghosted on rescheduling. No apology or explanation.I was contacted by this business for their Massage Therapist position which they are (according to the job listing) is an "immediate opening" and they are "urgently hiring".I replied and applied for the position, which then led to a brief phone conversation and an invitation to come in for an interview the next day. I was a bit hesitant because I was informed that the salary range on the job listing is "a little misleading" due to the variance in how clients are charged but nevertheless I took time off from my current job to attend the interview.I arrived for my interview 15 minutes early only to be told by the receptionist that Dr. Shirley might not be able to see me due to some emergency but that they would check as soon as he was finished with his current client. I waited patiently for the appointed time and after nearly 20 minutes I heard boisterous conversation coming from the office as the client left. The receptionist went in to speak with Dr. Shirley and then came to me to tell me that in fact, he could not see me due to needing to leave for said emergency.I was told I would be contacted the next morning to reschedule. It has now been over a week of business days since then (excluding weekends where the office was closed) and I have not received a single communication from them

Unfortunately, I've been in a few car wrecks over the last few years. So, I've had the pleasure of meeting a few chiropractors and several massage therapists - who have patiently worked my body back to mostly pain free days! One therapist really stands out from the many who have helped me. Jacqueline Davis, LMP is a magician who has deep insight into what is happening with muscles and ligaments and all those kinds of things. I find that after Jacky works on me I have restored range of motion and less pain... well worth the time and money to come in and let her put me back in the right order! : )

Where do I start! Dr Choate is very good at what he does. I have been suffering from both vertigo and dizziness for years, which has progressively gotten worse. I have always felt it was due to cervical vertigo, which stems from the neck and that had been part of my issue. I have been to many doctors and chiropractors with no success. In addition to that, the chiropractors I had seen previous either only treated my neck or were afraid to touch me because of my dizziness. I have a good friend that has cervical vertigo suggest that I go to a sports chiropractor. Let me tell you it was a game changer for me. Dr. Choate took my case head on, making no promises. My first adjustment was so different than anything I had ever experienced. He worked not only on my neck and back, but he adjusted my TMJ area. I will say that my entire body reacted weirdly after the adjustment was done, almost like my nervous system was in shock. He allowed me to sit as long as it took for my body to settle down. Eventually I was able to leave, nervous of how I was going to feel with my issues. I was shocked when I got home, I felt better than I had felt in a long time. Do I still have issues with dizziness? Yes, I probably always will, BUT I feel that because of Dr. Choate I am in a much better position than I have been in a long time.

KC Ridgley is a miracle worker. I saw 4 different people ocer a year who couldn't make my shoulder stop hurting or figure out the issue. KC spotted the problem in about 2 minutes and gave me a plan to fix it. 5 months later I feel amazing and am released from care with no pain. If they wasn't enough their office staff is courteous fun and friendly. Would recommend then to everyone.

I've been going to Spinal & Sports Care Clinic for years with many different alignment issues from head to toes, as well as, back pains. Dr. Steve Shirley is amazing, the treatments and results are fast to get me back on my feet again and feel forever young! Now, I just wish there are multiple clinics.

michelle Lockman

16:19 01 Apr 22

I was thinking I should be finished in a couple of visits, however, I was educated about why a few follow-up visits are recommended.I had immediate and ongoing improvement with the option to discontinue treatment at my discretion.I highly recommend this competent care clinic and staff.

I started going to spinal and sports care about 3 months ago with severe neck pain. I called and was able to get an appointment for examination that day. Dr. Paula and the front desk ladies are so sweet and very helpful. Dr. Paula isn't only great at what she does, but she makes you feel like you have a friend in the room with you. When I'd go in for adjustments, I was always greeted as soon as I walked in the door. After every adjustment, the room was brighter. You feel a million times better not only physically, but mentally too. Thank you so much Spinal & Sports care!

Went for a massageAs I get migraines and needed some relief. I told the person to just do my back and shoulders.She spent most of the time on my arms. The next day I had a migraine. Won't go back. Haven't had any luck with their massage people.

Amazing!!! I was sad to finish my treatment. Everyone is so nice and friendly. Highly recommend!

Dr. Paula and her team are the best at what they do. My TMJ was fixed within a month and the headaches that came with it are no more. All while helping relieve my back and neck pain I’ve been experiencing as well.

Hi my name is Amanda Briggs I am wanting to say how amazing my experience has been with Dr. Shirley he is so kind and amazing at what he does and has helped me tremendously with my headaches and my TMJ I’ve never felt so better. I highly recommend people going to him, my mom also has went to him for some time and he has really helped her as well. So thank you to Dr. Shirley and his team. Everybody’s so nice greeting and very friendly..

Dr VanDyken was great. He adjusted me and gave me some exercises and stretches to help me keep my back and hips strong! He also has a great personality and sense of humor. I’ll be coming to him the next time I need an adjustment!The only issue I had was that the reception and staff were insistent on wearing a mask but then there was a receptionist who was never wearing hers over her mouth and nose, but handing out masks to everyone coming through the door. Just kind of like, idk ironic? Weird?Either way I’d still recommend VanDyken any day!

Presley Smith

09:14 23 Nov 21

Dr. Dyken has helped give my jaw the mobility I'd been lacking for over a month! Even from just the first visit I was able to see and feel immediate improvement and relief, what with migraines, being unable to fully open my jaw, and my face being sore. Absolutely amazing work and working staff!!

Jamie Driscoll

07:45 13 Nov 21

I can't say enough good things about Spinal & Sports Care Clinic! Look no further, this is where you want to be if you need the care and treatments they provide. Everyone there is friendly and willing to do what they can to help.When I started going there just a couple weeks ago my neck and back were in awful shape. Slowly but surely they're starting to get back to normal and hopefully after a few more sessions I'll be as good as new. Every visit, even though I'm in pain and but feeling my best, brings a smile to face. From the front desk, to the massage therapists, to the office manager and medical professionals, they're all the best of the best. (Hope I didn't leave anyone out)The one thing that has stood out is how everyone there cares. You're not a number, you're not just one more patient, you're a person. Dr. Paula, one of the chiropractors has been a blessing. Her devotion to my well being goes beyond the time we spend together while she's treating me. She's called multiple times just to check on and see how I'm doing. In my experience that's not normal in our current times. Her concern and empathy is real and I know she's pulling for me and doing everything she can to resolve the issues I'm experiencing.Finally, the place is owned locally by a Spokane resident and family. Supporting our local businesses is vital and it being be joy to do so.

Dr. Paula DiMaio is great! I had been having lower back and neck pain for over a year, and finally decided to book my first chiropractor appointment with Spinal & Sports Care Clinic about a month ago. After my first visit, I noticed quick results - and now after my 4th visit I feel so much better! Yay for no more headaches!

Elizabeth Miller

I have suffered from TMJ for most of my life and about a month ago it had reached its absolute worst. My jaw was so out of alignment that I was experiencing both jaw and ear pain daily. It was ruining my quality of life and preventing me from working, working out, and being fully present with my family. After a referral from my dentist to the Spinal & Sports care clinic, Dr Van Dyken has literally brought me back to life. The ear and jaw pain/clicking has all but disappeared. The holistic approach Dr. Van Dyken brings to his patients with sound advice and different techniques to help the jaw is unparalleled. If you're suffering with neck/jaw pain and have happened to find the Spinal & Sports care clinic, look no further. Schedule your appointment and get your life back.

My daughter and I have been suffering the effects of a bad MVA since 11/22/2019. Head impact caused my daughter to have a grand-mal siezure at the scene of the accident, and ultimately killed our dog. Neither of us has had relief from pain and numbness since. Many physical issues were not identified under other providers, nor referrals made for proper care...prior to seeing Dr. Paula DiMaio.For example, my daughters neck and shoulders, as well as her inner thighs caused so much pain that she was hunching forward. Dr. DiMaio ordered x-rays for my daughters cervical spine and thoracic spine, which had also never been done. One visit to Dr. DiMaio and my daughter was 50% better. Prior she was mostly in bed (approximately 18 hrs/day) due to the pain.I have severe tightness in my jaw with numbness down my entire left side, and the right side not being much better. Two visits and my shoulder is moving and my lower back and jaw are more flexible.In addition to her proficiency, Dr. DiMaio is professional, knowledgeable, compassionate and thorough. We are progressing under her care more in two visits that in over a dozen with other providers and other modalities in the last 19 months since our car accident.Thank you, Dr. DiMaio for taking us on! We know our care is more complex than most.

My boyfriend has been suffering from CTS and had resigned himself to undergo surgery. I suggested that he see Dr. Shirley to alleviate his symptoms and avoid the operation. He’s so happy he did. After a series of treatments, he is pain free and is so pleased to avoid surgery. Thanks to Dr Shirley and his staff, life is good! Chiropractic care is a wonderful form of healthcare and Dr. S knows what he’s doing! Great doc!

This place is great! Emily and Angela up front are very welcoming and professional. Dr. Ken was very informative and timely. He put me right at ease by explaining everything that he was going to do before he did it. I really appreciated the time he took with me and answering questions and the eventual referral that needed to happen. I highly recommend this office. Thanks to everyone there.

Deborah Roose

I was referred to Dr. Choate by a friend 4 years ago for sciatica pt couldn't resolve. I've never felt better!

Kassie Keller

00:27 15 Apr 21

Doctor Dimaio is the BEST. She is unlike any other chiropractor I’ve had, she is so thorough and genuinely cares about how you are feeling. I have nothing but great things to say about her professionalism and kindness. Highly recommend!

Marc Mullenix

00:13 14 Apr 21

I was referred to Dr. Choate by my father-in-law and boy am I glad I went!! He has helped me immensely with my back, shoulder and neck pain! I can play a round of golf now and not have the back pain that I had last year. If you need adjustments and a good chiropractor, this is the person for you!

Nate Thornton

00:38 07 Apr 21

Relieved my neck pain. Thank you!

Riley Simonowski

15:16 02 Apr 21

I have been a patient of Dr. Van Dykens since 2017 and he is amazing. I have struggled with migraines all of my adult life and Dr. Van Dyken did everything possible to help me get them under control. Recently, I got into a car accident and Dr. Van Dyken took about 3 weeks trying out different treatment plans to see which one worked the best. He truly is the best!

Deanna Noel

03:01 25 Mar 21

Dr Van Dyken has done an amazing job getting my shoulder, neck, and jaw lined back up and out of pain. He listens and works with me to get everything fixed up properly. I highly recommend him!

Mikaya Raskell

23:26 22 Mar 21

I went to see Dr. Shirley for a TMJ issue from dental work.When I went the first time I couldn't open my mouth, eat, sleep etc without mass amounts of pain.After 2 visits I was completely better. This man has a gift for TMJ and headaches.I am so impressed.If you have any Jaw or head issues go see him. I highly recommend.

Sirena Thomas

03:07 19 Mar 21

Dr. Van Dyken is very awesome! He put my neck back together after a good snowboarding crash!! Well done!! I am feeling back to normal now thanks to his chiropractor skills. I like the way he practices by the book and put standard process of care at the top of his work ethic. Thanks a million for your help!

I have been going to Spinal and Sports Care Clinic for about 5 years. I was originally referred to Dr. Shirley as the "Migraine Miracle Worker" who could cure my migraines. Needless to say, I was a bit hesitant because although I had been suffering from a 30+day migraine, I had never been to a chiropractor before because I have Rheumatoid Arthritis, a crippling autoimmune disease that grossly affects your joints. So the mere thought of someone manipulating my body or popping my tender and swollen joints, did not sound appealing in the least. But my head was about to explode so I went to the appointment. I won't give you the gruesome details but basically, I have gone from having 10-2 migraines a year (for about 20 years) to about one per year (if that). CRAZY, I know. But its true and that was just my experience.I do also want to add that Dr. Shirley is seriously one of my favorite people on this earth. Not only because he's an amazing Chiropractor, but because he truly cares about each and every one of his patients. He treats the WHOLE individual. He has helped me over the last five years become much more attuned to my body which has helped me manage my RA better than ever before. I've been seeing him once a month for mantinence visits but if I need more, he's pretty darn accessible for a last minute appointment. And, I have to say, Dr. Shirley is a pretty funny guy too. He is easy-going and witty and will chat with you about all sorts of things like fishing in Montana to Game of Thrones. He's super smart about how the human body works. But I do have to say he has this one really irritating quality. He always knows EXACTLY where on my body I hurt. 🙄 By just looking at me! It's so infuriating because from his very first touch on my back, he has me resorting to some language that my mother swears to this day, she doesn't know where on earth I heard language like that! But Dr. Shirley just laughs and gets in there and starts fixing. Seriously, he's amazing! 5 BIG OLD STARS!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Alexandria Phillipson

15:32 05 Mar 21

Dr. Shirley and Erica make and amazing team! Ive been seeing Dr. Shirley for a number of years and he is the only one I trust when it comes to chiropractic work. Dr. Shirley has helped me over come several injures from work to a car accident to every single horse related injury.Even without injury I see Dr. Shirley on a regular basis, typically monthly. Beyond being an outstanding doctor, Dr. Shirley is an amazing person. He truly cares about his patients. He is extremely support, listens to everything you have to say and has phenomenal recommendations that truly make a difference. Erica his assistant is a rockstar herself. She is so kind, knows exactly what she is doing and has so many helpful tips and tricks. Honestly Dr. Shirley and Erica are the best chiropractic team in Spokane! I will never go anywhere else or see anyone else. They are truly extraordinary!

Sara Ray

12:30 05 Mar 21

I have been a patient of Dr. Shirley since 1997. He is an amazingly knowledgeable and kind chiropractor. Not only does he treat injuries, his maintenance appointments keep me pain free if/when something slides out of alignment. The entire staff is great. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Shirley for your chiropractic needs.

Cassandra DiMaio

19:43 01 Mar 21

Dr. Paula DiMaio is a fabulous doctor who tailors her adjustment plan to suit the specific needs of the patient. Before going to Dr. DiMaio I was a patient at another chiropractor here in the Valley, but felt the doctors were constantly rushing to see the most patients possible; Dr. DiMaio however, is very thorough and checks every place you are having discomfort so you leave feeling your best! Love this place, I highly recommend it to anyone struggling to find a reliable Chiropractic center! Keep up the good work Aunt Paula!

Dr. DeMaio is a caring, thorough and reliable source of professional and effective chiropractic treatments. I highly recommend Dr. DeMaio

Erin Johnson

14:16 26 Feb 21

Dr. Choate helps me immensely every time I go see him, and I’ve had issues from my neck to my hips over the years. One of the things I respect most about him is he doesn’t suggest that you come in more than you need to. A lot of chiropractors have a reputation of milking people and telling them they need to continue treatment when they don’t. If he thinks one treatment will take care of your issue, he doesn’t try to get you to come back for more than that. Definitely recommend him to anyone!

Rory Long

01:17 26 Feb 21

The staff is friendly and helpful and Dr. Dimaio really spent time identifying and addressing my back pain. In just a few short weeks, I went from barely able to get out of my car to back to 100%.

Sarah Clizer

02:36 19 Feb 21

The doctor and massage therapist I saw were so helpful! They are truly interested in getting you better, rather than just coming for adjustments for the rest of your life.

Randall Stowe

18:09 05 Feb 21

I've been going here on and off for a couple of years now. Dr. Van Dyken, and Dr. Dimaio have both treated me and have been amazing and attentive to my needs and injurys.

Was there with my client and the Dr was AMAZING!

Elizabeth Wallace

23:11 08 Jan 21

Dr. Chaote does good work. He fixed my hip issues and referred me to massage therapy. He did only focus on one thing at a time which causes one issue to be fixed for a couple weeks and the other issue to linger longer because he didn’t address it.The massage therapist was okay. He didn’t seem to know what he was doing, so I only went twice. His name was Cody Young.Apparently, the billing team at the front desk confirmed with my insurance twice that massage therapy was covered when in fact it was not at all and never had been. So, I would confirm your coverage before scheduling appointments to make sure you are actually covered or if you aren’t, you are prepared to pay out of pocket. I was left with a bill I had to pay because of the insurance coverage miscommunication.

I am writing to share my experience as Dr. Paula DiMaio Reczek who has just started with this clinic......relocating from Pennsylvania. I was a patient from 2010 to 2020. I felt very comfortable with Paula from the beginning.....she is very down to earth and comfy. Her expertise always impressed me along with her intuitive diagnoses. I highly recommend Paula and just know she will be a very valued addition to this practice!

Agnes N

00:27 07 Nov 20

Dr Paula DiMaio has been treating myself and family members over the years.She has given me fantastic relief from the horrible back pain I initially came to her with. She is a very kind and caring doctor who knows her stuff. It was always a very pleasant experience visiting her practice. I highly recommend her to anyone needing a good chiropractor. She will be a wonderful addition to your clinic. We wish her every success and happiness in Spokane

Frank Graham

22:33 05 Nov 20

I have been a patient of Dr. Paula’s for quite a few years. When my previous chiropractor passed away I began to go to her simply because my chiropractor had gone to her. I have never been disappointed. I have gone to her bent over using a cane and left feeling like a new man. She has always taken whatever time was needed and made sure when I left I was satisfied and feeling better. I’m sorry that I’m losing her as my chiropractor but happy for those who she will help in the future. She will be missed.

Bobbie Morrison

17:45 01 Nov 20

Dr. Paula has been my wellness "guru" for the past 25 years. Routine adjustments along with therapies that addressed minor ailments have helped me to maintain an active lifestyle. Dr. Paula cares deeply about her patients, and always takes the time to explain her methods and to consider the needs of the patient as a whole. She will be a wonderful addition to this practice.

Diane Doyle

Dr. Paula DiMaio has been my chiropractor for 10 years now. She is a kind, caring professional who has her patient's best interest at heart. She has thorough assessment skills, an impeccable memory and her documentation is detail oriented. I refer to her hands as "healing hands" because she has relieved my pain related to several concussions, car accidents, multiple spine issues and fibromyalgia. As much as I will miss her, I wish Dr. Paula much happiness as she joins your staff at Spinal and Sports Care Clinic.Diane Doyle, LPN

I've been going to Dr. Paula for the past 15 years and I am going to miss her! Spokane is lucky to get her! She is a warm, caring and capable chiropractor - staying up to date with all the latest. I highly recommend her.

I have been seeing Dr. Paula since January of 2015. I love the way that she makes you feel comfortable from the first visit. She is very attentive to what is required to make you feel better. She is thorough in taking notes so that she can refer to what occurred on each visit. She is kind and thoughtful and listens to what I have to say. I wish her all the best in her new location.

Dr. Paula DiMaio is a very caring and thoughtful person. I have been a patient of her practice in Pennsylvania for over two decades and she has provided excellent care. You are very fortunate to have her on your team!

I have not been to your facility because I live in Pennsylvania and you are about to get one of the most caring and dedicated additions to your staff, Dr. Paula DiMaio-Reczek. I have gone to Paula for years and the minute she walks into the room you can feel her warmth She cares about you and makes you feel so comfortable. Without a doubt she is good at what she does. You will all just love her as as do..

My wife and I have been patients of Dr. Paula DiMaio-Reczek since 2007 and we cannot be any happier with the superior care and chiropractic relief she has provided us over the many years. We have always found Dr. Paula to be compassionate and committed to our needs and providing us with the proper care, understanding and education to lead a much healthier life.Dr. Paula is very thorough in every aspect of her practice from a patient first approach to a level of care that is all encompassing. Her knowledge and experience in dealing with our chiropractic needs has been exceptional and we have recommended her services to many over the years based on our complete satisfaction with the treatment we have received from her.There are many attributes that we admire in Dr. Paula from being forward thinking, her commitment to staying current in chiropractic treatment, her listening skills that translate to wonderful patient care and her attention to detail is highly commendable.We know that Dr. Paula will be successful as she moves on in her practice from Pennsylvania to Spokane, WA. It’ll be bittersweet for us to see Dr. Paula make this change but we can honestly say that the residents of Spokane will benefit greatly from having Dr. Paula apply her chiropractic care to them.Dennis & Sandy McKnight

Just a little note about Your new associate Dr Paula DiMaio. After researching for a year I was referred to her office. Best choice I made for my back, neck and leg problems. Dr DiMaio helped me to be able to walk pain free. Her office was very clean and her staff was awesome. She always listen to my problems and treated me according. Very caring and excellent Dr. I am sad that she is leaving for your office but excited for her. Your office is lackey to be getting a Great Doctor.Helen Fedena

Dr. Paula IS very professional, informative and trustworthy She makes going to a chiropractor a pleasure. She has treated me for herniated discs, lipomas, and muscle tears. My wife Susan, our son Michael and I have all gotten well due visiting her practice in Pennsylvania. Spinal & Sports Care Clinic will benefit from her knowledge.

At this point, I have spent years and years thinking I would just have to deal with TMJ issues and lock jaw for...well, the rest of my life. I've seen dentists, doctors... no one had answers. I was referred to see Dr. Shirley here.... and oh my gosh. He already has made such a difference. It feels so good to have hope that this will get better, and see someone with so much experience dealing with TMJ. Thank you, thank you!!!
