I went to see Dr. Twombly for plantar fasciitis pain in the heel of my right foot. Several weeks of stretching, alleve, and a stretching boot hadn’t helped. The custom orthotics that my podiatrist made for me didn’t seem to improve things. After only 10 minutes of Active Release Technique treatment in his office, I was pain free for 24 hours and my pain immediately went from a constant dull level 4-5 pain to 0.
About 8 months before I had plantar fasciitis in my left foot and it took my podiatrist several months to get it back to normal.
Dr. Twombley is friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, and his rates appear to be very reasonable. I would highly recommend him for foot and leg pain associated with the muscles, tendons, or fascia.
He recommended some great orthotics for my shoe that help quite a bit.
He is also treating my wife for some muscle pain in the leg, and she notes a big improvement after a couple of treatments.
I have been absolutely delighted with the wonderful service he has provided and the rapid relief from foot pain. The best part is that we came to see him only two weeks before our big trip to Europe. And now the chances are good that we will be in much better shape to enjoy walking around on tour, now that we are addressing our foot and leg pain.
Please give him a try if you are experiencing foot or leg pain.
I love this place!! Even though my insurance doesn’t cover any of my treatment here, it is totally worth every penny! Dr. Erickson is seriously the best chiropractor I have ever seen, and I refer all my personal training clients and friends to him. I shadowed him last year and was really impressed with how he took a comprehensive approach to fixing the problems people had, not just the symptoms. I finally got my husband to go (he had Achilles tendon pain and a big knot in his neck among other things) and he is amazed at how quickly Dr. Erickson helped him (Achilles pain gone after the first visit, neck still has some of the knot left after his second visit but it’s much smaller and has much more range of motion). For my treatment, he worked on the muscles in my shoulders to alleviate my neck pain, adjusted my hips so they feel aligned, and worked on my shoulders since they had started getting really rounded forward. After my first visit, I felt like a new person! He doesn’t try to set you up on a 6 month treatment plan like my chiropractors have in the past (only twice a week for a couple weeks, then once every few weeks to maintain the alignment since I’m in my third trimester and it’s easy to get out of alignment during pregnancy). He will tell you how many treatments you can expect and told me that if you are seeing a chiropractor every week or couple weeks for a long time then that chiro doesn’t know what they are doing. Seriously, you will be so glad if you give Dr. Erickson a try!
Totally solved tendinitis issues I had for a year and a half. I was 80% better after only two weeks of active release technique work on my forearms and wrist (three sessions a week). I’m going to be back to surfing soon thanks to this awesome team! Very thankful.
Dr. Erickson is the best! Also Victor who is the office manager is great! Chris does a great massage!!
Love Dr. Erickson and Victor and the massage therapist are great too. Thanks
Dr. Twombly and his staff were fantastic! I saw them over the course of a few months and got several adjustments, spinal decompression sessions and sports massages that got me through the most painful experience of my life. I had a bulging L5 disc and at times couldn’t even walk (I hobbled into their office many times) and I have gotten significantly better through their treatment and the only reason I haven’t been back in almost a year is because I now live 6 hours away! Thank you Dr. Twombly, Victor, Chris and everyone for helping me through and making the treatment of my terrible health problem a positive experience!
Dr. Twombly was beyond amazing. Since my car accident 3 months ago, he really fixed my body up in parts that I didn’t even know was messed up. Knowledgeable, great bedside manners, and just a great person to have conversation with. Definitely one of the most respected physicians in my opinion. The rest of the staff is amazing as well. This office also has massage therapy right after being adjusted so I think that’s what makes this place stand out above other chiropractic offices. Highly recommend to anyone who ever wants to find a great chiropractor for any physical ailments.
I have been going to Dr. Twombly now for about a year for the same issues, lower back and neck pain. Last week I went in for a severe lower back spasm. After some massaging and back adjustments, I was able to walk out of the office 100% better. Once again Dr. Twombly and his team came to my rescue!
Love these guys. Very flexible and great service. I can’t remember by Drs name but I like him a lot. They don’t just pop you and crack you and hurt you. They figure out what you need and give you the proper treatment. I always feel way better after I’ve visited. Best experience I have had with a chiro.
I have been going to Dr. Erickson and Twombly for years! I literally walk in with what ever my issue is at the time, horrible neck pain or horrible lower back pain, and always walk out free and clear of any issues! I would recommend Irvine Spine and Sport (and have to several people who are now clients)
thank you!
I will come in with a very specific pain and after a few questions and hands on assessment, Dr. Erickson quickly identifies the problem and works towards the solution. I told him he is magic! I appreciate how he explains everything to me before he begins adjustments. On every occasion he has been spot on. They have Saturday appts too!
Really friendly staff. I love coming here to either get adjusted or for Acupuncture. The staff really just want you to feel better.
I want to say thank you to Dr Tomothy R Twombly. I had a terrible back ache for 2 weeks. He did an amazing job with me. Now I am alive)) Even 1 visit helped me a lot. Highly recommend him to everyone.
My wife and I have been getting treatment from Dr. Twombly for a couple of months now. I experienced chest pain that was related to neck and shoulder alignment. My wife had lower back and hip pain. Glad to report we are both feeling a lot better now.
I would recommend Dr. Twombly. He is a very good chiropractor and knows how to treat patients to help them to heal and return to health.
Great massages and Dr. Twombly is so funny and personable. Friendly front desk staff and they take the time to really try to help you with your physical pain issues.
I’m so thankful that I discovered Irvine Spine And Sport! I had terrible sciaticia and back pain that pretty much had me incapacitated. I could barely walk, and could only sit and sleep for very short periods of time. I went to a Chiropractic office in Newport Beach for a series of 12 treatments, but I didn’t care for the Chiropractor’s attitude and I was making poor progress with traditional spinal adjustments.
I was interested in trying spinal decompression and was pleased to see that it was offered as a treatment modality at Irvine Spine and Sport. I made an appointment with Dr. Twombly for a consultation and second opinion regarding my difficulties. He recommended that I get an MRI, so we could make an informed decision regarding treatment approaches. He didn’t charge me for the consultation.
After reviewing the MRI, I started a series of spinal decompression treatments that were extremely effective. I immediately noticed a reduction in leg and back pain. By the completion of the treatments, feeling had completely returned to my leg and foot, and my back and leg pain was completely gone! I’m now playing golf and doing my regular physical activities without pain or discomfort. I am so happy that I tried the spinal decompression treatments. I thank Dr. Twombly for his kind demeaner, excellent advice, and exceptional treatment skills.
