I have been patient of Dr. Lyter for about 7 years. His level of care, expertise and compassion is unparalleled. On the occasions that I have had to "crawl in" - he has always been able to help me resolve the issue. His front office staff are always kind, caring and professional! I feel very cared for at Simmons Chiropractic Clinic!

Dr. Kevin Lyter is the most professional chiropractor I have ever met. I am a teacher, and I was injured at work 5 years ago. When I first met Dr. Lyter, I was in so much pain that I could barely make it into my first appointment. I had memory loss, a difficult time standing up for more than 10 minutes, and every movement was uncomfortable. After being treated by Dr. Kevin Lyter, I was finally able to begin feeling positive again.

I had been in pain so long, that I had forgotten what it was like to live a life pain free. Dr. Lyter is highly skilled in chiropractic care, as well as orthogonal atlas treatment. This is a treatment that will change your life if you have constant, chronic neck pain. I highly recommend taking the time for yourself, and calling Simmons Chiropractic! The office staff is also very nice and professional. They even make me laugh. Thank you to everyone at Simmons. I am a patient that is very happy with her care.

Dr. Kevin Lyter is an amazing chiropractor, he has compassion and gratitude towards his patients. He listens to every thing you have to say and complain about with your body.

Also as a Massage Therapist he takes care of my wrists elbows and neck and back as needed for my job can be very difficult on my body. I'd never see any other chiro but Dr. Lyter. Thank you Dr. Lyter for all the help you've given my body.

I've been seeing Dr. Kahrs for almost 5 years now. A friend recommended him. When we first began my chiropractic care, it was slow. He adjusted me little by little each week, multiple times a week. I could actually feel the improvement from the top down with each adjustment, but of course, as we all do, I was hoping for complete, instant relief on day one.

But Dr. Kahrs had a plan and that plan required patience from me. So my advice.trust the process of these doctors. They know what they're doing! You may not feel 100% on day one. But I can say with 100% certainty, you will feel amazing if you just trust their process and follow their plan. Dr. Kahrs has seen me through an intense career fire academy.

He adjusted me every single Saturday to fix what I beat up and prepare me for the upcoming week of strenuous training. It was 13 weeks of hard, physical labor and I truly believe the struggle would have been greatly intensified without my top notch chiropractic care. I continue to see Dr. Kahrs because I trust that with his expertise, I will be able to enjoy my career feeling good and ready to take on whatever event is thrown at me on the job. The staff at Simmons Chiropractic are wonderful as well! Always smiling. Always welcoming. They create such a pleasant atmosphere.

My family and I have been blessed repeatedly over the past 20 + years beginning with the much missed founder Dr Dean Simmons. Fortunately for all of us he left behind two talented drs who were mentored by Dr Dean for many of those yrs. I strongly recommend them as often as I can as an alternate choice to the many others in the field who practice assembly line quick service or simply depend on an activator as a primary form of adjustment.

The doctor was very caring and listened to all of my difficulties. He asked questions about health issues that I have that I did not relate to spinal problems. All the staff was very friendly and enthusiastic about their jobs.

Simmons Chiropractic Clinic is an outstanding group of chiropractors and very helpful staff. If you have not gone to them you may be missing out on the best care possible. With their advanced training in Advanced Atlas Orthogonal you can expect to get the best, most consistent adjustments available.

Pros-staff was friendly and nice and office was clean. Cons-went in for lower back pain. I was not aware that Dr. Lyter specializes in upper cervical/neck pain (no one there shared this), and uses an "Atlas Adjuster" which gives the patient a little tap at some strategic neck location and supposedly gently places the spine back into alignment. No adjusting was done at the first appointment, but at the second, my neck got the little tap which did nothing for my lower back pain, plus I had to pay for an unnecessary soft cervical collar at what I assume is a nice profit for the business.

I was also charged a lot of money for two rounds of X-rays to tell me my legs were not aligned which I have since learned is a pretty common diagnosis by chiropractors. My third/last appointment was also short and unhelpful. I don't know if all chiropractors treat patients using these methods, but it seemed like a whole lot of unhelpful nothing.

After 10-15 years, gradual decline in spine health I was depressed and hopeless. It appeared that life would slowly slide into pain, despair and decreased mobility. ie no longer able to do the things that bring me joy. Have experienced every treatment under the sun and then.found Dr Kahrs. After one treatment with him, pain in the neck/back decreased by 80%, headache gone, TMJ better, sciatic pain gone.

Even irregular heartbeat and stomach issues are no longer a problem! And the depression has lifted! For the first time, I have hope for my future. With tears in my eyes and a heart full of gratitude I can't adequately put this into words Thank you just isn't enough. Dr Kahrs, I am eternally grateful.

My wife has been going here and they use something called "sound adjustment" It sends a sound wave to move the bones around. She seems to be doing good and says she is so I will trust it works - even though they are the only ones in the State.

This chiropractic office has changed my life! I've been coming here for almost 3 years now. I used to get chronic headaches and haven't had them in years. The staff and doctors are amazing, particularly Dr. Simmons and Dr. Lyter. They spend time with you and really want to see the best for you. I would highly recommend this chiropractic clinic to anyone.

A friend of mine was relieved of years of hip pain from treatment with Dr. Tony Velickoff, I started treatment for a chronic misalignment in my neck and SI joint. The results were immediate. Dr. Velickoff along with the other Dr.s at Simmons Chiro specialize in atlas orthogonal adjustments. I wish I had heard about it years ago--it has made all the difference. I highly recommend Dr. Velickoff!
