When our doctors do an initial evaluation, we will have a good idea if your condition is something we can fix or not. If we can fix it, we will explain to you what the problem is, how it will be fixed and about how long it will take. If it is something that we cannot fix, we will explain that too, and we will work with you to get you to someone who can help whether that is an orthopedist, pain management specialist, physical therapist or other provider.Once we get you out of pain, we will work with you to help keep you that way and prevent reinjury.

The Spinal Care focus is on you from the first phone call. We understand that navigating through the health care system can be daunting. This complicated process is even harder when you are hurt. We want to take some of that anxiety and frustration out of the equation for you. Our staff will answer all of your questions and help guide you through the process.
Dr. Kristen Walters is exceptional! I am always moving and training for my health, well-being, and career. I've been in the health and fitness industry for over 30 years and have worked with many chiropractors, doctors, orthopedics, physical therapists, personal trainers personally and professionally.
We think there are many ways Spinal Care is different from most other chiropractic offices, but the two biggest differences involve the speed and process with which we tend to fix injuries. We don't subscribe to the "long term care" plan. We want you fixed and back out living your life. You won't be seeing us 3x/week for 12 weeks.

Dr. Walters is great! Not only was what she did helpful for my neck and shoulder, but she was very pleasant. Her follow up and bedside manor was amazing. She is very thorough in explaining what she is doing and why. In this day and age it is especially challenging to find someone who not only has the expertise but also the human aspect. She definitely has both, I would highly recommend anyone to use her services if asked.

Dr. Walters is a miracle worker! I had severe pain in my leg and my doctor wanted me to get an MRI but before insurance would approve it I had to get an x-ray. On a whim I decided to try a chiropractor first. I picked Spinal Care because they are so close to my house. I knew nothing about them. on my first visit Dr. Walters evaluated me and said she could help.
Her goal is to get you better so you don't have to keep going back every week. After two visits with her my pain was 98% gone. I could not believe it. I then let her work on my arm. I had rotator cuff surgery two years ago and could not lay on my arm. Again, two visits with her and the paid was gone. She is amazing. I will recommend her to anyone and everyone!

I found Dr. Kristen Walters after months of dealing with extreme low back and hip pain from an injury at the gym. The original injury left me unable to walk for a few days and severely impacted my mobility. I spent months with a previous chiropractor and was fortunately able to get back on my feet. I tried some physical therapy, but unfortunately I still had a lot of residual pain.
I was discouraged and beginning to accept the fact that living with pain would be my new normal. It was clear that I needed something different. During my initial appointment, Dr. Walters examined me and explained to me the process of manipulating the muscle fascia and how that may help restore some of my mobility and reduce my pain. I'll be very honest and say that the fascia manipulation is not the most pleasant feeling, and sometimes it just downright hurts.
You can certainly expect to be a little sore and bruised afterward -- but you can also expect to have some relief. I'll admit that I was a little skeptical at first, but once I saw (and felt) the results a few days after the first treatment, I was shocked at how much better I was feeling. I began seeing improvements after each visit -- I started sleeping better, I would wake up with minimal pain and stiffness, and I began to get a lot of my mobility back.
After about 4 visits, I actually felt good enough to start getting back into the gym. It is definitely a process, and everyone is going to have different results -- but regardless I would still highly recommend Spinal Care to anyone in need of relief from bone and/or muscle pain.

I cannot begin to express my satisfaction with the staff at Spinal Care. The entire staff was courteous, professional, and made my visit as comfortable as they possibly could. Dr. Malley and Dr. Walters both helped me return to the competition floor after 2 shoulder surgery. I couldn't be happier with the ROM and strength I was gaining back after 6 months post-surgery. I would recommend Spinal Care to friends, family members, and to athletes from my gym. Keith Bussom Crossfit Apex

As an older runner, I have had an injury or two and wanted someone to work with me to treat my latest injury instead of just recommending "don't run." Dr. Walters was able to pinpoint my issue and treat it with targeted therapy and fascia massage. Three weeks later, I was back out doing what I love - running! Dr. Walters is knowledgeable, friendly, and honest. She and the staff were very accommodating and made my visits a great experience. I would highly recommend her and the Spinal Care staff!

I first heard of the practice after a discussion with a friend of mine about a hip injury I had sustained while running and had been experiencing pain (to the point of having difficulty walking) for weeks. She recommended the practice as she had been seeing the doctors to treat a multitude of CrossFit injuries over the past few years. Prior to my appointment I had tried just about every home care remedy I could find online, including stopping running entirely for a few weeks, but had little to no relief.
The staff at Spinal Care were considerate and very professional. A good amount of time was spent at my first appointment reviewing my history and diagnosing the source of the pain. I was somewhat mentally prepared for the treatment prior to my appointment, but the doctor took the time to ensure I understood what the treatment entails, recovery and when to expect improvement.
At the beginning of each appointment we reviewed my symptoms, improvement and anything new. I never felt rushed and always felt heard. I'm pleased to say that after 6 weeks, I'm back to running pain free and have some tools to help prevent the pain from returning. I HIGHLY recommend the practice, especially to those who have sought alternative treatment but are still struggling.

I was recently treated by both Dr. Maley and Dr. Walters. Both Doctors did a phenomenal job alleviating my pain and returning my mobility to normal. Throughout the years I have undergone treatment by more traditional chiropractors, which only ever provided temporary. Spinal Care explained that treating the muscle will be the best course of treatment for me, they were right!
If you are experiencing back pain or limited mobility from side-to-side (as I was), I recommend you give Spinal Care a shot. In addition to such good patient care, both Doctors have such wonderful personalities, I never felt "unheard" or rushed through an appointment. The level of friendliness far exceeded my expectations, making my visit all the more pleasant. Go see them and get yourself fixed up!

Dr Maley is phenomenal. I was suffering from a nagging shoulder injury that was causing pain and sleep loss. After about 5 visits, the pain is just a faded memory and I am getting back to my normal activities pain free and sleeping better. At 57, I keep fairly active and Dr. Maley quickly got me back on track. She is thorough, listens to your complaints and puts in a treatment plan and regimen that addresses the problem area. She is attentive, doesn't rush and lets you know she understands your concerns. The office staff is great as well!

Other chiropractors would not touch me once I said that I have herniated discs. I consulted with Dr. Maley based on a recommendation from my sister. She and her staff are very welcoming into their office. Dr. Maley will give you recommendations on what you could do in between sessions to get yourself back in a pain-free place while receiving treatments from her. There is a lot I learned from this Listen to your body and take care of yourself. Personal well-being needs to be a higher priority.
