Parkway Wellness Center

Unfortunately I was rear ended a couple months ago, so I’ve been coming here since then. Dr. Joe and Melissa are very friendly and give great customer service. Dr. Joe has made me feel like he’s doing everything he can to get me back to normal. Lisa and Ashley also give amazing massages

My pregnant wife and I have been going to Joe for the past few months. He is knowedgable, friendly, and a lifesaver for the both of us. Dr. Joe practices prenatal chiropractic work with my wife, providing treatment that allows her to avoid a lot of the discomfort she had earlier in the pregnancy. He is always very attentive to her needs and gives her immediate relief from back pain. Dr. Joe has given us some great suggestions on how to move the pregnancy along its respective course with the least amount of discomfort and/​or pain ad possible, all while showing a lot of compassion and attentiveness to my wife’s needs.
Outside of that, the office is always clean, his receptionist is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet, and he provides chiropractic care all for the cost that most Chiropractors would charge just as a copay to what the insurance company has already supplanted. I also receive services from him, and he makes it so that this chubby guy can still play some basketball with his great re-​aligning of my aching back.
I would recommend Dr. Joe and the Parkway Wellness Center to anyone who wants to feel better and be able to do the things they used to do before getting injured. Take the trip out to El Cajon near Parkway Plaza and you’ll be glad you made the trek into East County.

I woke up with a terrible pain in my spine that traveled down into my arm. Dr. Joe told me to come in without any advance appointment. He attended to me quickly, first explaining the cause of my pain while showing me on the model of a spinal column and then fixing the problem with a few calculated moves. I highly recommend Dr. Joe.

I wokeup with a stiff neck and painful lower back one day. Since I couldn’t drive that far I decided to call this place and luckily they take walk ins so I went and got a full body adjustment the same day. Excellent service! Definitely felt better.

Dr. Joe is the best!!! He is really helping me heal from my car accident. I am so happy with all he has done to help me heal.

I love this place from Dr Joe to his staff absolutely hands down good experience and if ur in pain don’t go anywhere but here the massage therapist are o m gosh the best you’ll feel so at peace when u leave best best ever you gotta go here. All around best chiropractic yet

Dr. Joe has kept my chronic back pain in check for more than 3 yrs. It’s a nice not to have back pain limiting my mobility

Dr. Joe is AMAZING he takes his time with every single adjustment. I recommend him to anyone with neck/​back issues.

Before I met Dr Joe. I was in bad shape after playing four years of professional football. I also was skeptical of chiropractic care due to my previous experience. After one visit I was hooked. His level of professionalism exceeds any chiropractor that I’ve ever met. He is very detailed with his work and really does care about the overall outcome of his patients. I’ve been going to dr. Joe now for 5 years. His office is over 2 hours away from my home. However, how I feel after I leave his place is soooo worth the drive. Thank you for helping me get my life back to normal.

Post accident I came in after 2 months– living in pain. Worked daily — but in a lot of discomfort on anti-​inflammatory medications and muscle relaxants! DID NOT work. Wanted to protect my liver…
Since I am new to the area and no one knew a Chiro Dr who they would recommend me, Came on here and started searching.
Found Dr Joe!
Be sure to come in 15 min early to fill out the paperwork for the first time, unless you call them and they can email them to you.
They have an X-​ray machine in the office to take necessary x-​rays. In my case was not, Dr Joe did the adjustments on my neck and lower back and after 2 days I felt like a million bucks and the $ was right.
Thank You!
You are a God sent! :)

Dr. Joe is awesome. He is a master at his trade, beyond thorough, gentle, and has helped me to feel like a million bucks. I was in an auto accident last year and in a lot of pain that was progressively getting worse by the day. Still, I was hesitant to seek out care because I didn’t want to pay a bunch up front or make more work for myself in dealing with the insurance companies. It didn’t take long for the pain to outweigh my desire to avoid it though, so I sought out Dr. Joe’s expertise and I could not have had a better experience!
From the time I called, they handled everything with ease. They really took the burden off me to handle the logistics, so that Dr. Joe and I could just focus on getting me back to 100%. Dr. Joe and his office is obviously quite experienced in this area, as they handled all communication with lawyers and the adjustor without me needing to do anything other than show up to my appointments. I felt like they really advocated for me, to ensure the best outcome possible. I am beyond thankful for their professionalism and how easy they made an otherwise difficult and stressful time.
As for me, I made a remarkable recovery and I really owe that to Dr. Joe and his commitment to getting me the care I needed. My personal injury case has long since closed, but I still come in for regular adjustments. I love Parkway wellness because they treat everyone like family and really listen to you, which is quite refreshing and unusual these days! Can not recommend my chiropractor Dr. Joe any more. THANK YOU!

Was having lower back muscle spasms on a Saturday, and was referred to Dr. Joe. Although Joe was only open for a short period of time and with his wife outside in the car, he took me in. A few hours later after the session, Joe followed up on my progress via text message to see if I needed any further treatment that night! Wow, never had customer service like that! Dr. Joe obviously cares about his patients and based on my first impressions, cares about people in general. Thank you sooo much!

I’m so happy to have found the team at Parkway Wellness Center. I first came to this office after getting a massage (which was great!) I’ve always had ongoing lower back problems since I’ve done construction for more than 20 years. I decided to check out the chiropractor in the office and I’m so glad I did! I’ve seen probably 6 different chiros over the last 20 years always with pretty good results. But this office was the first time I actually felt like I was fixing the problems with my back.
I met with Dr Joe, we talked with and did some testing, then we took x-​rays. Only the 2^nd time I’ve had x-​rays taken for my chronic low back pain and I’ve seen a lot of doctors about it. Dr Joe sat down and showed me the x-​rays. I saw where the problems in my back were and some arthritis my doctor only told me about in passing. He also showed me how we could stop my worsening pain and symptoms so I’m feeling better for the long term. I am very impressed with the whole experience here and I’m excited to get regular care so I can work another 20 years or more.

Dr Joe has been working on my health issues for along time. he really cares about you on a real level and always gives good and honest advice about how to be more healthy. as I have lost weight weight and he has coached me to good health I will continue be working with Joe for a happy healthy life. thanks Joe for coaching and caring.

Last Friday I called and asked if there was any new patient appointments same day but later in the day. The lady told me yes, 2 or 3 oclock. My shoulder has been bothering me for days and I really needed to be seen so I told her 3 oclock. I even called back to ask about a coupon to keep a long story short I went on Friday thinking I had an appointment and turns out they were closed. I have heard really great things but unfortunately I didnt get to experiance them. It was really inconvenient, I had my 4 year old daughter and had to take the bus to get to the appointment that I guess I never had.

Dr. Joe genuinely cares about his patients. Not only did he help me relieve my lower back pain (which never came back!) but he gave me exercises to keep my back strong and healthy. He cares about the over all wellness of each person he treats and offers classes to support it.

Dr. Joe Szafranski (Dr. Joe to all his patients) is the Absolute Best Chiropractor (ABC) I have ever had and I have had a few in the past.
Both my sister and have curvature of the spine, sis’ spine is worse than mine. She in bed on and off for about 6 weeks because her back was in such bad shape.
A friend of hers told her about Dr. Joe, she began treatments under his care and I was amazed at how her pain began to subside and she could actually sit up, walk and sit down to enjoy a meal.
I went to see Dr. Joe and it’s been almost 8 weeks and I am ecstatic about how wonderful my is feeling again. I haven’t felt this pain free in more than 6 yrs.
Dr. Joe doesn’t just tweak and realign the spine, he is also helps you holistically which I love because my back is only a part of my problem.
I’m still learning how to eat right and he has wonderful videos with real experts to help you eat correctly and enjoy a healthier lifestyle through diet and exercise.
Dr. Joe is not like any other chiropractors I used in the past. He looks at your whole body not just your spine.
He’s also very fun to be around, I love his smile. He is so good with his very young patients, they like Dr. Joe too. So glad my sis asked me to try Dr. Joe :-)

Before I became a patient at Dr Joe’s office, I was very skeptical about chiropractic. I have had previous chiropractors due to a head and neck injury and it seemed as if they made my problems worse. EVEN THE CHIROPRACTOR I WORKED FOR MADE IT WORSE. After almost 2 years of Dr. Joe’s adjustments, I now see that there are 2 different kinds of chiropractors.
The first chiropractor is the most common, they want your money. These individuals put on fake smiles and insist on high prices. They justify their high prices by exaggerating the truth about your health issues .Such people are more about customer service and quantity not quality. If anything, these people make your condition worse. Therefore you become co-​dependent upon their services.
The second kind of chiropractor is the one that truly cares. Dr. Joe is the definition of a well rounded chiropractor. He practices what he teaches, and will always go the extra mile. I get more than my money’s worth. He has created such an inviting practice .It is definitely kid friendly, I bring my 4 year old in much of the time. Every time I get adjusted, I feel like a new person. There are many questions I have about health such as products to use and nutrition. With Dr. Joes advice, my kitchen and house hold items havebee transformed into a healthier way of living (AND EVEN MORE AFFORDABLE).
My Spine– I had been bucked off a horse and received a concussion. As a result, I received migraines and sleep apnea. I was on the verge of quitting school and work because I couldn’t stay awake (NOT TO MENTION THE PAIN). I was even afraid to drive. Any chiropractor can adjust you and fix you, but it is the quality they put into it. I know that Dr. Joe’s heart is in with what he does, because for once my chronic symptoms that I had weighed me down are beginning to fade and go away. Many people want instant gratification and disregarding medication, Dr Joe is as close as it gets. I hope this helps.
P.S if anything changes I’ll keep you all posted, but I highly doubt it!
