Synergy Chiropractic & Bodywork

I went in to see Dr. Sue because I was having some awful neck pain. She was extremely nice and took care of my issues. After the first visit i noticed a dramatic difference. After three short visits i am now pain free. Sue is very thorough and really cares about her patients well being. I highly recommend visiting her!

I just moved to Austin with my family from NYC. I have a type of muscular dystrophy, which means I have been to many different types of practitioners. I found Dr. Sue on Unilocal and chose her based on her stellar reviews. I had pain in my shoulder for 3 weeks and it wasn’t going away. It was keeping me up at night. I sent Dr. Sue info on my MD before our appointment and completed a comprehensive intake questionnaire. She actually read what I sent her, which already places her in a distinct minority. She approached my condition and complaint with the perfect combination of confidence, experience and humility. I was immediately impressed by how her hands seemed to know where to go and that she could feel exactly where the problem was and what it was about. That was great, but what was even greater was that that was the first night I was able to sleep pain free! My pain went from a 7 to a 2 in one treatment. I had a second treatment a few days later and my pain was gone after that and it has stayed that way. The bottom line is that Dr. Sue’s got skills. I’m sending my wife to her tomorrow. She’s also incredibly friendly and sincere and her dog Peanut is a little sweetheart as well. Nothing but praise here.

Dr. Sue is the best! She spends the entire appointment focusing on treating the core problem. She provides a whole-​body approach to health, and knows her stuff backwards and forwards.
Dr. Sue has a gentle hand, never forceful. And, I LOVE that she massages my tight shoulders and neck before adjusting me. It make all the difference! Every time I leave her office, I feel like a new person!
Above all else, she’s a genuine, kind person who truly wants to help her patients. Don’t wait another minute! Book an appointment with Dr. Sue now!

Dr. Sue is the best. I showed up with pain in my back that was keeping me up at night and making it hard to work and after the first visit I could get back to living. She explained what was happening, fixed it in less than a week, and taught me how to prevent it in the future.
Because I’m a poet, I’m closing my review with a poem, called «Untangled»
When your muscles are grumpy
and you wake up all mangled,
Go see Dr. Sue
She’ll get you untangled!

I love Dr. Sue! I’ve always been skeptical of chiropractors, especially after having represented some sketchy characters in my law practice. But I was suffering from chronic lower back pain, and was desperate for relief, so I decided to give Dr. Sue a try. And boy am I glad I did.
She checked my MRI thru some on line portal and didn’t waste time or money on X Rays. She did the stereotypical back-​cracKing thing, but she did so much more. I don’t recall the names of the techniques, but she’s trained in multiple modalities involving massage-​like palpation and trigger-​point muscle activation. (I know I butchered those terms, and she’s probably ROTFLing as she reads this).
It sounds weird and I was as skeptical as they come, but I figured it couldn’t get any worse. I stuck with her recoMmended treatment plan, which for me was about 6 or 8 treatments over a couple of months.
I feel so much better. My back still
Acts up if I don’t take care, but the chronic daily pain is gone. And when I get a crick in my neck or catch in my back, she can clear it up in a short appointment with her
Magic fingers.
Lest you think she paid me for this review, I also have some warnings. Sue is a bit unconventional, and likes to chat and tell stories. I found her quirkiness (and her dog, Peanut) a bit endearing, but if you want a white-​coated, button-​downed medical provider, you will be disappointed.
The office is also a bit hard to find initially. It’s in an old house set way back from the road. I zipped past a couple of times assuming my GPS was confused as it is want to do frequently. She shares office space with Pure Light Chiropractic, which has a large sign near the street. Look for that sign as a hint (but be sure to ask for Dr. Sue at Synergy!)
If you are tired of the nagging pain that won’t go away, I strongly recommend you give Dr. Sue and Peanut a shot.

I love dr. Sue. Had issues with my back and hip and she couldn’t have helped me more. I recommend everyone that has issues to her.

I had never been to a chiropractor before deciding to try something different than a standard massage. I couldn’t shake some serious back and neck pain — muscle related. After consulting with Dr. Sue, she was able to clearly and concisely explain what was happening and how she could correct the problem and eliminate the pain. After one trip, my pain gage went from an 8 to a 2. After the second session it is nearly 100%. I will now be setting myself up with a monthly maintenance to ensure I keep the ‘grumpies’ away! Highly recommend!

I had just moved to Austin from Las Vegas and had an excellent chiropractor there and was dreading trying to find one here. I got online and came across Synergy here on Unilocal and read all the great reviews and made an appt. I had an old injury with two discs compressing my spinal chord that had started causing numbness and tingling in my hand. Dr. Sue fixed me up and I’ve been to see her several times for adjustments. She knows what she’s doing and makes every visit enjoyable with her wit and she obviously really cares about her patients. Peanut is always there to greet you too!

I wasn’t sure a chiropractor could help, but saw a review that Dr. Sue helped someone with vertigo, so thought I’d give it a try. Three sessions later and what had become daily vertigo episodes have disappeared. Dr. Sue seems to have cleared some blockage in my neck post-​surgery that was causing the room to spin every time I’d get up from a prone position. I’ve been vertigo-​free for 10 days now, and will be going to Synergy regularly for maintenance.

When it was suggested I have a steroid spinal injection from an orthopedic doctor after a back injury and herniated disc, I wanted to run for the hills… the only problem was I couldn’t.
So, I hobbled in to Dr. Sue’s office looking for one-​on-​one attention to recover from my injury with my MRI results and a goal of being able to walk without crippling sciatic pain.
She delivered on every account. She was thoughtful, sympathetic, well-​educated, knowledgeable and created a treatment plan for me based on my goals. I felt better after my first adjustment with her and have continued improvement with every visit since.
I love the attention I receive in this office. She completely focuses on the patient and since there is no one pacing in the waiting area or wandering around, you know you will get the best service when you arrive.
Dr. Sue is an amazing DC! I have also tried acupuncture and MAT sessions with her. The MAT sessions are crazy-​effective and you’ll learn a ton about your body, however whack it may be… haha.
Also, dog lovers rejoice! Her friendly little office assistant, Peanut, will pick you right up no matter how bad you may feel with her cute little face and wagging tail.
I am so thankful for the care I have received in Dr. Sue’s office and can’t recommend her enough.

I have seen Dr. Sue since the 1^st day she opened her office on Manchaca Rd. She is a wonderful practitoner, thoughtful, proactive, knowledgeable and has done wonders with me. I am not an exemplary patient, not too good at doing all my assigned exercises and stretches, although I try. So she is always patient with me.
She has a wealth of knowledge and techniques to battle an assortment of maladies that come along.
She doesn’t come with a super strong nutritional background so if you are looking for that along with the multiple muscoskeletal (sp) and structural adjustments, she won’t be allot of help there. But the acupuncture, chiropractic, muscle activation therapy, sports therapy, laser treatments she can do and do very well. I hope I am not missing anything there Dr. Sue! She is extremely recommended.
She doesn’t do insurance, you will have to do that yourself… but it is so worth it.

The search for a new chiropractor is a miserable thing. Amirite? Maneuvering between the hippy dippy supplement peddlers, the in-​and-​out-​in-​5-​minutes-​with-​no-​personal-​interaction docs, the high-​commitment insurance wasters that seem to need you in their office 4 days a week for 6 weeks, and the sports-​tastic deep tissue abusers can be a daunting, depressing, time-​wasting experience. I’m an active, healthy person who sometimes get slowed down by some chronic back issues. If I want to keep going at my pace, I need someone to keep me straightened out. I just want them to be regular chiropractors. Is that really too much to ask for?
So when I walked into Synergy, and was greeted by a real person who is professional and capable and friendly and only funny in the ha-​ha kind of way, and then walked out about a half an hour later feeling (seriously) like a new woman… ok, looking back the heaven’s didn’t *actually* part and there wasn’t *really* a chorus of seraphs, but it *was* like gold, five stars, A++ will visit again!
Dr. Sue is easy to talk to, listens to what ails you, and customizes your wellness plan from a toolbox of treatments to get you pain-​free ASAP. For me, customized = A little crackalacka, a little massage therapy, something called muscle activation therapy, a bit of acupuncture and snuggles from her cute little fraggle dog (PEANUT!) She’s affordable and flexible and really good at what she does. I HIGHLY recommend you finally end your search and just make an appointment to see her, already…

After relocating to Austin, I used Unilocal to review my chiropractic and acupuncture options. After reading Dr Sue’s bio and approach I was interested. Many of the glowing reviews didn’t hurt. She is a very competent, pragmatic and thoughtful chiropractor — and definitely likes to throw in some humor and good tunes during your visit.

Dr. Sue is definitely the best chiropractor I’ve ever been to. What I like the most about her is that she changes what she does each time based on what I need, and I don’t even need to tell her what I need.
I’ve had a lot of problems with my neck and spine, and instead of just cracking my back like other chiropractors have done, she’ll poke a (seemingly random) spot and ask if it hurts, and she is usually right. She’ll find a spot near my armpit that is very tender and sore and focus on that area, and that will make the muscles in my neck less stiff and sore. Her knowledge of physiology is very impressive.
The only drawback is that she doesn’t take insurance so she can keep costs down, so each visit is between $ 60-​$ 80. But I’ve been trying other chiropractors who are cheaper and I haven’t felt anywhere near as much relief.

Dr Sue may be a good friend and golf buddy (and my dog Kasey is great pals with Peanut), but this doesn’t influence my recommendation for her as a chiropractor. I sent my sister and father to her and they got the same great results I did. She is extremely knowledgeable and thorough and always looks for the source of your problem, treating more than just the symptoms.

Easy to miss but hard to forget! You might have driven past Dr. Sue’s office, but trust me… you’ll want to turn around. She’s the real deal.
Dr. Sue listened to me. She didn’t just put me on a «one plan fits all» thing. By combining different modalities of healing, she worked with me to get my body to remember what it is supposed to be doing – supporting me.
I have been to many chiropractic offices. Synergy is perfection. The office space itself is inviting. And Dr. Sue will have you laughing in no time.
Don’t forget to say hi to Peanut! Highly recommended for anyone who wants a whole person approach to feeling better. And hey! They’ve got yoga too. So get your spine in shape, then learn how to do the Downward Dog with Peanut.

If I had one chiropractic practice to recommend someone in Austin, Synergy Chiropractic would take the cake. Dr. Sue is an incredibly knowledgeable person, kindhearted, and excellent at what she does. If my neck is outta whack, Synergy is the first place I call. Why? Because she’s just that good. Dr. Sue has a holistic approach to her chiropractic practice, treating the whole person, while helping alleviate your symptoms. You’ll leave her office feeling like you just visited a friend, not your crack-​a-​lackin’ chiropractor.
If that isn’t enough of a reason, Peanut, Synergy’s very own mascot, is always present to greet you. She’s like the complex’s very own celebrity dog! Don’t forget the belly scratches!

Dr. Sue is by far the best chiropractor I’ve been to. She listens, focuses, discusses, and ultimately kicks the ass of whatever ails you. Hence the Synergy name. It’s you and her working together to fix your problem — whatever it is.
I’ve worked with her on low back pain, mid-​back pain, neck pain, chest pain, foot pain, ankle pain, shoulder pain. If my body hurts, I see Sue.
Her online scheduling system is crazy convenient and easy, as well. I can’t recommend her enough, to anyone who is dealing with any kind of discomfort. Dr. Sue is the best.

If you are looking for a chiropractor that puts you on a cookie-​cutter wellness plan and makes you feel like you’re on an assembly line in a factory, then this place is NOT for you.
Dr. Sue is incredible. She offers one-​on-​one attention to all of her patients and treats you like a human being. I’ve been to several chiropractors before and all of them led me to believe I wouldn’t get better for at least 6 months. I’ve been seeing Dr. Sue now for a little over a month and she has already told me it’s time to start winding down the appointments because I’m healing quickly.
She offers chiropractic, massage, accupuncture and (my favorite) muscle activation technique. I’ve had great results with Dr. Sue and wouldn’t go anywhere else in Austin. Plus she has the cutest little dog named Peanut who greets me at the door every time!

I noticed results after the first treatment I received from Dr. Sue at Synergy Chiropractic. Of course, I can’t promise the same immediate results for everyone, but I went to see her due to chronic muscle pain which was preventing me from performing simple tasks. Her careful, considerate treatment improved things immensely. The MAT technique requires thorough knowledge of anatomy and muscle functions and Dr. Sue is an expert. She will explain the purpose of the treatment she provides and will make sure you know what you need to do to keep improving; she will also hold you accountable for any homework she may throw your way.
Synergy Chiropractic has a welcoming, pleasant atmosphere. The high ceilings and big windows make this small office seem twice its size. I look forward to my appointments and I know I will feel great when I walk out the door.
