I went to see Damir for a back injury I had sustained playing rugby. He was friendly, thorough, compassionate and listened to my thoughts and concerns. He not only told me what he wanted me to work on, but explained why each movement was important. He also was able to quickly identify other factors that contributed to this injury and potential future injuries. I was sent home with a clear plan for recovery as well as exercises to strengthen specific areas. I look forward to future sessions!

Working with Damir has been the best investment in my health. I'm a trainer (yoga teacher, mobility specialist) and thanks to the FR (functional range release manual therapy) Damir provides I'm rehabbing a sport injury much quicker than I could on my own. The best part of coming to Damir is his bedside manner- his "office" is in a gym the environment is comfortable and welcoming and it just feels like you're hanging out with a friend. He uses all his tools (quickly whipping out the spine model) to make sure you have the best understanding of your own body. Damir is a teacher, and helps you build

Damir gives a great adjustment. Hes an encyclopedia of knowledge about the body, and explains what and why hes doing what hes doing very well. He knows a lot about mobility and exercises to increase it. Hes honest about what adjustments will stick and what will just go back to the way it was without mobility work.

Dr Damir is an amazing Chiropractor and unlike any I've ever been too. He is very thorough and he does full body adjustments that are comfortable and effective. He also does muscle works and knows more about rehab than anyone I've ever met. I highly recommend seeing him, you won't regret it!
