Dr Heike is not your typical chiropractor – his attention to muscle tone and movement puts him in a league above the rest. In his care I have recovered from some of the injuries of firefighting and life by getting the muscles to support the body properly and by helping me find optimal range of movement. He has relieved pain and given me my life back.

I am SO impressed with Dr. Ryan and the Back in Motion team. I was referred by my wife after injuring my back weightlifting and with one treatment I was already feeling better. Now after a few sessions with Dr. Ryan I am feeling almost good as new and to thing I was in a wheelchair from pain prior to my initial appointment, that is major improvement.The staff at the front are courteous and organized and they also take my HSA Insurance which is a plus! In additional the facilities are clean and well-maintained and the location is very convenient. In regards to treatment and modalities, Dr. Ryan really knows he stuff. He listens, asks all the correct questions to get to the root of the issue and he really cares about your wellbeing. He is also extremely knowledgable and doesn’t just know the spine and skeletal system but has a VERY strong knowledge of the muscular/connective tissues of the body. He employs different modalities such to ensure the treatment is working get you better.

I started having a major lower back pain after a gym visit and the pain didn’t go away after weeks. A friend recommended  here and I started seeing Dr Sean. He is very professional and friendly. He helped me to take an x- ray and analyzed my symptoms. I started getting treatment right away. After a few weeks, I started feel less pain, and after  a month treatment, most of my lower back pain disappeared. I am very satisfied with the whole treatment process and the help that Dr Sean provided

I have been treated by Doctor Heike Klima, for 5 sessions so far and I can tell, since my accident year & half ago, being at many many doctor offices, they were the only people help me walk easier,  with less pain! I can not believe how easy Dr.Klima uses my own body muscles to bring it back to function again! I truly appreciate his and his team hard work and highly recommend you to give them one chance, you won’t go elsewhere! Supper friendly , absolutely know their job, excellent team and nurses all are just a group of educated, expert people who would put you always first as a patient and help you even if they have to stay after hours. It Feels like being helped by your family members! Highly recommended as a happy client

I’ve been seeing Dr.Sean Golden at Back In Motion for a while now and he has gone above and beyond to help fix my Patellar Tendonitis, IT Band pain, and Tricep Tendonitis.

Sean is very knowledgeable about everything that goes on in our bodies and can provide very insightful reasons to why you are feeling pain and how to overcome it to get on the right track towards feeling 100% again.

Sean backs up what he says with great research and is very intelligent when it comes to the body, physiologically or otherwise, etc. He also teaches you great rehab exercises to help speed up the recovery process and strengthen whatever you have damaged.

Besides my tendon pains, I’ve come to him with questions on weight lifting, diet, etc. and he has really gone out of his way to give me great tips and help me on my weight lifting journey. I can’t recommend Dr.Sean enough and if you have any pain whether it be back, quads, hip flexors, tendons, etc. he is a great Dr. and can help you IMMENSELY, right from the 1st session! I’m always going to come to Dr.Sean with any problems I have in the future and I know he’ll be there to help fix me up again!

I’m a huge fan!  My cousin referred me and I’m so glad she did; Dr Tyler is a godsend.  He’s personable, thorough and most of all, takes the time to be sure I clearly understand the why-how-what the root of my pain issues are.  And he’s assigned me homework using the foam roller to improve my problem areas.  In one session, I have learned specific techniques to help alleviate my foot, hip and neck pain, plus I am more committed to just keeping active throughout the day because now I comprehend how motion works for me, and inactivity works against me.  Of course, he adjusted me and did some sports type massage which I desperately needed.  Seriously, I felt so much lighter and had more range of motion after that one session than after most hour long massages.  Plus since Dr T knows my fitness goals, he is advising me on how to avoid injury while training for my first Half Marathon. 

I was t-boned a few month ago and since my car accident I’ve had neck, shoulder, and hip pains.  The first place/Doctor I went to was only a temporary fix and wasn’t helping long term.  I was recommended here by a friend and have been seeing Dr. Heike since.  Dr. Heike has been AMAZING on working with the muscles and relieving my injuries.  I tend to travel a lot for work and return hurt from sitting so long on the flights, Dr. Heike will spend extra time when needed and sincerely cares for all his patients’ wellbeing.  Ever since my car accident I get pinch nerves that are debilitating, Dr. Heike has been able to help a lot.  I also see two massage/stretch therapist that work really well on my injuries, Vanessa and Aaron both are fantastic but if they aren’t available other have been wonderful too.  The best part is most patients have the option to see a doctor for an adjustment and a massage therapist on the same visit.  I’m constantly grateful that I found Dr. Heike, they all have been helpful in showing me what I can do for a long term fix.  If you’ve been in a car accident, are active in sports, or just hurt this is the place to go!

I grew up my whole life with knee pain since I was little, that the doctors said were “growing pains” and they hurt so bad I couldn’t run, something I love to do. Well I stopped growing at the beginning of high school but the pain stayed with me till now in my late 20’s.

I began seeing Dr. Sean for my knee pains and within just a few visits they felt better than they had in many years! He is by far not only the most knowledgeable chiropractor I’ve ever gone to, he’s the most knowledgeable doctor in general I’ve ever been to!

He worked on the muscles, fascia, tendons, and explained that my quads were pulling on my knee caps, causing friction and pain every time I ran. He also fixed this nagging pain I had in between my shoulder blades that I had for a year or so, which I didn’t even come in for! I am definitely going to be recommending my friends with “pain issues” to go get checked out here!

I was having extreme lower back pain, that i couldnt deal with anymore! I called and was able to get an appt right away. Not only was the nice lady at the front desk, thorough and very helpful.. Dr. Ryan stayed late to take my appt! I felt so much better after the exam and adjustement! He explained everything and showed me on the xrays what was giving me trouble! It was well worth the money and time! I am recommending all my friends and co workers to Dr. Ryan! Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I was having extreme lower back pain and Dr. Ryan stayed late to take my appt. To say i felt better is an understatement! He did xrays and an exam and adjustment and explained everything to me. It was informative and very helpful! Definetly recommend Dr. Ryan to anyone!

Paul Chintawat 2 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Tyler was very easy to talk to and explains everything. This was the first time I had visited a chiropractor, I was always worried about the popping and cracking. But I was referred to him by a friend and I'm glad I went. The first visit he sits down with you and gives you a full consultation. He explains in detail why you are hurting and how he will fix it. His demeanor is relaxing and makes you feel comfortable to be there. He explained that he does not pop or crack your bones, but uses stretching techniques to loosen tight muscles to alleviate pain. There is also massage therapy incorporated into your treatment plan and is provided in between visits with the doctor. And all this is covered by my insurance. I'm looking forward to working with Dr. Tyler and get my body back into the proper alignment and not have pain during my runs and workouts. So far so good.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sean Golden has really made a positive impact in my well being. I have a few chronic military injuries that have debilitated me in many ways and it’s been a struggle. I have spent so much money on other treatments, such as Physical therapy, Occupational therapy, acupuncturist, acupressure, massage therapist, electrophoresis, other chiropractor’s and the list goes on. After seeing Dr. Golden for nearly 6 weeks (once a week) and I can truly tell you he has made a big difference in my quality of life. He is very in-tuned with any condition you may have. I’m very impressed with his abundance of knowledge and has a great beside manner. I have recommended him to friends as well as I truly trust him with my care. I will be a long term patient. Sincerely…. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: This was my first time going to a chiropractor, and my experience was better than I ever expected it to be! I worked with Dr. Golden, relief and information on how to maintain pain free movement on my own. I went in with shoulder tightness/pain, caused by the extensive amount of surfing, climbing, and basketball I engage in. I am now almost entirely pain free, and am more confident in my strength and range of motion. I would highly recommend Dr. Golden, for any form of pain relief or physical therapy!

Ryan Bogy 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Sean is my go to pain management consultant. If I ever have any ailment, injury, or nagging part of my body he'll fix me right up. As a very active runner, climber, all around fitness enthusiast, there's constant things that come up which may keep me from staying active. He works with my goals and helps get me back to being active WITHOUT SURGERY or invasive procedures! That's hard to find nowadays! Highly recommend trying them out.

Douglas Ek 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Got in contact with Sean Golden for several health issues I struggled with for years. I was chronically fatigued, nerve issues, restless legs and a lot of back pain. He recommended me to get a high quality omega 3 supplement so I ended up buying Thorne Super EPA, flaxseed oil (as it contains alpha linolenic-acid wich also is an important omega 3). I took this in conjuction with curcumin and after several weeks the majoirty of my issues have completely resolved. Sean is very knowledgeable about the human physiology and his help has been such a life saver for me. I can only say good about him, highly recommend. Very professional, Thank you so much for your help!

Fantastic experience: Back In Motion, true to it's name helped me get back to comfortably move around. I was suffering with severe low back pain for many months and Dr. Sean helped me relieve it along with releasing muscle tightness. I felt huge improvement right from the first visit. He also educated me on different tools and techniques to release muscle tension myself at home to relieve low back strain on regular basis. Dr. Sean is knowledgeable and helped me regain my confidence in recovery and addressed all the issues around the back pain and sciatica. Thank you!

Ehsanullah Ahmadi 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Been to a lot of chiropractors but this is the first one to actually give an X-ray on the spot to really access the situation properly instead of going on blind. I had Dr. Sean who is very experienced and super welcoming and communicates with utmost precision. Love this place!

Blake Bowling 4 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Golden is the best Chiropractor I’ve ever experienced. As a former professional tennis player I had the best Drs, Physical Therapists, Trainers & Chiropractors available as maintaining my physical health was critical to my success & extending my career. As a result of many decades of high impact due to playing on hard court surfaces I still require maintenance on my lower back & thanks to Dr. Sean (Golden) & his “golden” adjustments he keeps me playing competitively into my 60s which is a true testament to his knowledge of the human body. I highly recommend him to all my tennis & other athletic friends to keep them pursuing the sports they dearly love. To sit on the sidelines for us is the most frustrating feeling we can go through & to have a Dr. that keeps us in the game is an amazing find. A million thanks to him!

Fantastic experience: My pcp referred me specifically to Dr. Heika Klima. I am grateful she did. I was having severe pain from my buttocks down my leg. I could barely walk as I went in to my appointment. I was amazed at my range of motion when Dr. Heika finished my first treatment. I have seen a dozen chiropractors over 30 years. I've never been to one like Dr. Heika. He and his methods are extraordinary. I highly recommend Back In Motion and Dr. Heika Klima.

Derrick Judge 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was a client of back in motion for many years, after changing jobs I stopped treatment and within months started to notice a difference in aches and pains. Of course I thought I could find another Chiro in my insurance network closer to home... Well 5yrs and about 5 or 6 offices later I still haven't found one that produced the same results. Love the staff, all of the doctors are great... With 2020 behind me its time to just go back and pay out of pocket to get the treatment I need. Seems like the have a good COVID protocol for keeping patients safe while giving them the treatment they need

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Back in Motion since the day they opened their doors and Dr. Tyler since 2008 before that. I have since recommened countless others with an overwhelming responce after going for the first time. Tyler has put together an exceptional staff between all the Dr's and therapists. The doctors aren't your typical chiropractors. They help fix whatever problems you may be experiencing and educate how to prevent those issues. I am on the computer most of my working day so good posture is important. My kids look forward to visiting which tells alot about the environment they have. They have been patients since ages 5-8yo and all mid teens early 20s now. -Ted Koopman

Fantastic experience: Dr. Sean Golden was fabulous! He took the time to get to know me and my prior chiropractic history while treating me with newer methodologies that were effective. Dr. Sean was always personable, kind, and willing to listen. He also treated my 11 year old daughter and gave her exercises to do at home to better her health. If you are looking for a chiropractor that cares about you and treats your ailments effectively, Dr. Sean is your doc!

Dave Krieger 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: Honestly I’m very lucky and fortunate to find Dr.Sean Golden through my searches of a good chiropractor. I’ve been working construction for years an been putting this back pain on hold but I’m glad I just went for it. I can finally feel relief after his treatments and even when the band in my knee went out he cared enough to focus attention to it, took a while but my knee is back in order and I just love going once a week to him and treat myself to this type of therapy. I know it’s an investment in the long run as well to keep my back in order. Highly recommend to anybody and worth every penny, just great vibe and great guy to be my chiropractor.

cesar vallin 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I started coming to Back in motion in October of 2019. I suffered from lower back pain, Achilles tendinitis and plantar fasciitis. Both Dr Sean and Tyler not only worked on those areas but gave me specific exercises, stretches and at home workouts that have now allowed me to complete my first triathlon and half Ironman 70.3 I would highly recommend back in motion for rehab and therapy. You’re welcomed with love and compassion each time.

cong nguyen 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I went through 3 different chiropractors before I found Dr. Sean Golden through a referral. He was the best one by far. I had a bulging disc and sciatic nerve issues and was still on crutches for 2 months before I visited Dr. Golden. After a few visits I was off the crutches and now 2 months later, I'm about 80% healed. I had to leave back to the bay area or else I'm sure he would've gotten me completely healed. It was a lot more physical therapy for my visits and it was tough but it really helped! His advices on what I can do at home helped a great deal. Like what supplements I can take or different stretches/exercises that I can do. So thank you Dr. Golden!

Delaney Quick 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I was referred to this clinic and Dr. Heike specifically by a colleague in medical school with me. With a severe case of "student syndrome" and neck pain I have been SO impressed with the care that I've received. Dr. Heike's approach is to first implement techniques to relieve tight muscles (massage, cupping, trigger point, etc) and then provide spinal adjustments if indicated. I've never been to a chiropractor more thorough and my chronic pain has definitely improved over the course of seeing him.

Emma Sky 5 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have a lot of chronic pain all over my body and I need to get adjusted often and I have tried so many different things with not much results and finding Dr. Sean has been a breakthrough in my journey. His methods are exceptional and works towards making the patient as independent as possible. I believe the traditional Methods of chiropractors are definitely not enough anymore. These new ways of focusing on healing tissues and muscles are going to be the next generation of chiropractic methods. I definitely recommend him if you are tired of living with pain and the common therapies are not working for you.

Fantastic experience: I have been treated by Dr. Sean Golden for several months in the past. In addition to keeping my body healthy and moving well and thus enabling me to lift weights and train the way I want to, he has also been an outstanding resource for my nutrition questions. He is literally an encyclopedia on evidence based nutrition and will be able to answer any of your nutrition questions in addition to musculoskeletal system questions. His recommendation on which supplements (type, brand, dosage) has enabled me to really elevate my performance in the gym.

Fantastic experience: After being diagnosed with Crohn's disease a handful of years ago I continued to battle with crippling colitis symptoms and was only offered immune suppressing drugs and major steroids as treatment. Thank God I found Dr. Sean Golden who made 1 simple, natural, inexpensive supplement recommendation. My symptoms were gone in less than a weak! I have my life back!!! Moreover, he fixed a chronic shoulder pain I dealt with for years as well! NO ONE is more well read or up to date on the latest research than Dr. Golden. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED 10 stars all day long!

Heather Lynn 7 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr. Ryan is amazing! He takes the time to listen, really understand the pain, find the source ( many times it is not where you would suspect) and he magically fixes it. Always feel a million times better.

Bruce Ruff 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: I have been to many different chiropractors. They were all good but Dr. Ryan was the most thorough and the most skilled. He would listen to you and and will adjust every spots where you have pain. He takes his time to improve your condition by not just adjusting the bones but by addressing muscles which are all tied together.

NR Arun 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Great service. Esp Dr heika is really good. Helps me a lot .the massage therapist are good overall. Highly recommend this place and him.

Josie Leisz 8 years ago

Fantastic experience: Dr Tyler has been a lifesaver for me over the past 10 years that I've been going to him. I've had a lot of back and neck problems and he has worked miracles on me! Last year I was losing range of motion in my shoulder and had constant pain. I was doing exercises regularly at home that were supposed to help but didn't really make much difference. One session with Dr Tyler and my pain went away within a day or so and all the motion and came back to my shoulder. That was 8 months ago and I am still feeling great! I've been to different chiropractors in the past before I went to him and there is a big difference between a chiropractor who will just adjust you and one who will try to heal you. He really cares about doing the extra steps that are going to make you completely healed and pain-free. It's priceless!
