Physical Healthcare of Jacksonville

I would like to report a positive experience but my husband who went for help with his back received anything but a positive experience. He did the evaluation, had cortisone injected, had the insurance company billed for a tens unit, went to PT but opted NOT to do the «additional 3 or 4 pieces equipment» that each piece had an additional copay too. Each visit consisted of waiting in the waiting room 45 min to an hour and 1 month later no relief. As a healthcare provider myself, it is a disappointment to hear that the only response provided by this facility was that «90% always feel better», not I am sorry that we are not mindful of appointments, not let us reevaluate our approach… nothing, crickets! My husband was offered no additional assistance and left. Fortunately, I was able to find him another office in JAX Beach and after one visit at another practice-​RELIEF!

My family and I have been patients of Dr. Mark Pierce since 2008. In fact, we now live in Orlando and drive clear up to Jacksonville once a month, just to be seen by Dr. Pierce. We have found two other AO Drs in our area, but their level of care just does not compare to that of Dr. Mark Pierce Chiropractic.
Their more all-​natural approach to chiropractic care (Atlas Orthogonal) was known to my husband but foreign to me. I instantly felt relaxed and comfortable with Dr. Pierce. My X-​rays showed that my spine was indeed out of alignment, most likely due to everyday living — poor posture and sleep habits. And Dr. Pierce instantly noticed that my atlas was «red hot» and asked if I ever felt discomfort there (at the base of the neck). I said, «Of course, all of the time. I get migraines at least twice a month, but I thought that was just me.» Well after my first adjustment, I felt relief in that area for the first time since I was a young teenager. I had become so used to that constant pain and migraines that I did not know what it felt like to be relieved of that pressure. We continued to see Dr. Pierce frequently until my alignment held (the body will kick it out and go back to its old ways if not properly maintained at first). I am thrilled to say I have not had a migraine headache since (going on 5 years without having to pop a maxalt). And I am more aware of my body now and can tell when I am out of alignment and need an adjustment. I used to have irritable bowl and this has cured that as well. I am walking, living proof that this method works. And it works simply because they are treating the true cause of the problem, not some symptom further down in the body.
Mark Pierce is an exceptional Dr. in this field. He truly knows his stuff. He has character and integrity and really gets to know each of his patients. His staff is warm, friendly and helpful. We especially love Frances at the front desk!
Give Dr. Pierce’s office a try — their innovative method really does work and you will feel relaxed and welcomed in their office.
