My chiropractic care with Dr. Leone began in January 2010. At 49 years old, I entered care with a myriad of health issues and “aches and pains.” After over a year and a half of care and adjustments, I am much healthier and pain-free.
Dr. Leone determined I suffered from carpal tunnel after my many years of keyboarding as a secretary. My hands and arms all the way up to my elbows were falling asleep and tingling interrupting my sleep every night. After receiving adjustments for this over the course of my care, the condition has improved tremendously, and my sleep is no longer interrupted.
Also, a side perk from my weekly adjustments with Dr. Leone has been less pain in my feet, which hurt daily from arthritis before weekly adjustments. I was cursed to wearing flats or low-heeled shoes (which was very limiting for me at 5’ 1”) because of the pain, and walking was difficult. I can now wear heels comfortably throughout an entire day without pain! The down side was a shoe shopping frenzy for heels that almost caused me to go bankrupt!
I am walking taller because my spine is straighter and healthier and feel years younger as a result of my care with Dr. Leone.
When my wife, Lois, called for our first appointment she could hardly get out of a chair and walk. Today she can walk and stand straight. No more Advil for pain since starting treatments. At one time she was fascing surgery on her shoulder, but no longer, after treatments on her shoulder.
I used to go to a Chiro for back problems, then that DR. quit. Now I am getting much relief with adjustments from Dr. Leone.
Dr. Leone has been a God send for my wife and I. Thanks to him, we are more active now.
I allways had pain in the lower back, When i went to Dr. Leone he found my hip was out and my shoulders were off. Since he started working with me i have noticed it does not hurt walk and i sleep alot better now and i am standing up straight again and my hips is back inline.
A big thank you to Dr.Leone for helping me out.
I wish I had started chiropractic care a long time ago!
Last summer I started coming to see Dr. Leone after about two years of chronic lower back pain. I had been to another provider and was pretty frustrated. Dr. Leone listened to my concerns and did a great job explaining what was going on with my back. I felt confident that things were finally going to get better…and they have!
It’s been a year with ups and downs physically, but I am thankful that I have a place I can come to get relief and encouragement.
Thanks!, Dr. Leone
We have been going to Dr Leone’s for a little over a year. I had sciatic nerve problems and also shoulder pain. My shoulder pain is gone and my sciatic is very much improved. Most of the time I don’t have any pain at all. Both my husband and I feel much better overall. I like going to Dr Leone’s because the adjustments are quick and effective and he explains where the pain is coming from and why. We are so grateful for the better health we enjoy.
Thank you,Dr. Leone.
MY HEADACHES ARE GONE! I QUIT SMOKING! MY BLOOD PRESSURE IS NOW NORMAL! MY BACK IS BETTER! HE FIXED MY POSTURE! MY WHOLE FAMILY AND KIDS ARE BETTER!
When I was young I had a fall and started having headaches as a result, weekly to monthly migraines was something I was told I would have to learn to live with. I had seen multiple Doc’s and all they wanted to do was give me more drugs, more tests, or one adjustment here and there. The difference is Dr. Leone listened to my concerns, did a thorough exam, took an x-ray and explained exactly what it would take to correct my problem. He also did exams and an x-ray later in my care and showed me the progress my spine was making. I COULD ACTUALLY SEE MY SCOLIOSIS AND SPINAL ALIGNMENT IMPROVING! I thought that because I did not have insurance that it would be to expensive for me to afford, well turns out that Dr. Leone specializes in persons with limited or no insurance. He suggested a VERY VERY VERY affordable plan that included my family so that they could all get healthy and off all the drugs to. My son with ADHD and headaches is now doing great and takes no meds. MY ENTIRE FAMILY NOW IS SUPER HEALTHY AND WE RARELY HAVE TO GO TO THE MD! I did the math recently and I am now spending a fraction of what I used to spend on family health care. DR LEONE SAVED ME MONEY BY GETTING MY WHOLE FAMILY BETTER AND BY HELPING ME QUIT SMOKING! I LITERALLY HAVE $100′S OF DOLLARS EXTRA IN MY FAMILY BUDGET BECAUSE OF DR LEONE. He is the only Dr that has ever been willing to work within my family budget. Dr. Leone is very gentle and does not use the “twisting popping” adjustments unless I really need something manually adjusted and even then his hands are very gentle. DR LEONE ALSO SPECIALIZES IN CHILDREN AND NEWBORNS THAT HAVE HAD BIRTH TRAUMA! I saw him adjust A NEWBORN the other day and they did not even cry, in fact kids say that it feels good to get worked on.
DR LEONE IS THE BEST WHOLE FAMILY WELLNESS DOC WE HAVE EVER HAD!
In Conclusion, I realized that my spine, nerve system, and family health needs to be maintained just like my car, teeth, etc. I could wait until things breakdown and are super expensive or I can stay ahead of my family’s health for a fraction of the cost of one visit to the MD or EMERGENCY ROOM!

Dr. Leone is more than a doctor to his patients. He treats everyone with respect and views us more as friends. He has always given our family nothing but excellent care. Because of this perspective, he truly wants to make sure everyone is experiencing the best health possible!
According to my medical doctor, I have scoliosis and was destined to get worse every year; I was told that the only thing I can do is to keep increasing my medication to help manage the pain. When I understood the seriousness of this diagnosis and actually saw it coming to pass, I decided to see Dr. Chris Leone at the invitation of my sister/brother-in-law who just started to experience benefits from his adjustments. I told Dr. Leone I wanted to get better so I could hold/carry my grandson who was soon to be born. I could walk only short distances and had difficulty getting up the stairs at work. My body was plagued with lower back pain, and I was on the borderline of being depressed.
Thanks to Dr. Leone’s chiropractic care and wellness education, I have greatly improved in my ability to be active, walk, and go up the stairs. My youngest grandson will soon turn 3, and I have been very physically active in his life and the lives of my other grandchildren — thanks to the progress I’ve made under Dr. Leone. I still have some ups and downs with the pain, but I am determined to keep improving under Dr. Leone’s care.
One of the most interesting things I learned early in my association with Dr. Leone was the significance of the spine in the scheme of overall health. At 62, I had no real knowledge about the effects of trauma on the spine and how the spine largely determines the overall wellness in all parts of the body. This education in itself has energized me. We must take care of our spines!
Dr. Leone is a professional man of faith who takes his job seriously and really takes a personal interest in his patients. Everyone is treated with respect, and Dr. Leone always has a response of hope and encouragement for everyone. His positive spiritual beliefs are reflected in his daily actions toward others, and he gives the impression that he is glad to be able to serve all of us.
Thanks to Dr. Chris Leone and his wife, Tamara, who also played a big part in Leone Family Chiropractic services when I first became involved. My quality of life is better, my faith has increased, and I now have a sense of hope about my future health and well-being.
My chiropractic care with Dr. Leone began in 2004 after I quit taking the prescription drug Vioxx because it was no longer helping with my lower back pain. He diagnosed scoliosis and multiple subluxations throughout my spine. Through his continued care, my future pregnancies were back pain-free. Now, our whole crazy family sees him for wellness care. Our babies were adjusted within days of their birth, and he did the extra adjustments when they weren’t sleeping, sick or had upset tummies. Now he “fixes” our daughter’s ears with an adjustment when she says her ears hurt and guided us to care for our daughter when her night terrors and other issues did not subside. He’s been patient and vigilant in seeking out solutions for every new health challenge that has surfaced. His advice and care has been invaluable with the challenges our family has faced. We are very grateful. Thank you Dr. Leone.
Throughout my life, I have seen many chiropractors. Some, I have felt, have taken me for a ride financially by emptying my wallet and increasing theirs. I have come to realize, Dr. Leone is different!! My husband, Tim, starting seeing Dr. Leone first. He kept telling me that Dr. Leone wanted to see his whole family and that I should go and get checked out. Tim started improving immediately. He has had issues with his stomach and now, with chiropractic care, they are gone!
I, of course, waited to see Dr. Leone until my back pain was excruciating. I wasn’t able to sleep at all with the back pain I was having. After a few weeks of visits, my pain is lessening. He nearly killed me with rubbing my hip, but that night, I slept for the first time pain free! Dr. Leone doesn’t just adjust me, he has suggested stretches that have helped with my aches and pains. He has worked within our budget . He is helping my sons with all their allergies and my daughter with her knee pain. My daughter has been wearing a knee brace for months, and just the last week, she stopped wearing it and is doing great! I appreciate his willingness to care for us and work with us and our budget. Dr. Leone truly cares for his patients and their families. I wouldn’t go to anyone else! Oh, and my kids think he has the coolest bathroom ever!!
Dr. Leone has been providing my family care for the last 7 years at Leone Family Chiropractic. I get tension headaches that are almost always corrected with a simple adjustment. He has kept my wife healthy through 2 pregnancies. And both my 4 year old and 1 year old have been under care since birth. We’re happy patients at Leone Family Chiropractic!
I have been going to Dr. Leone for over 5 years. I have had great results. I was diagnosed with Crohn’s Disease in my teen years. I have had lots of pain and food issues. When I first started going to Dr. Leone, I was very skeptical. After a month, I saw improvements in my health. The pain wasn’t as bad and I was trying to get back to eating right. Now that I have been going for years, when I miss a week my body can feel it. I still have flare ups but they don’t last as long. I am happier and have more energy. I still struggle at times, but I know Dr. Leone is there to help me get back on track. I’m not sure where my health would be today if I had not started seeing Dr. Leone over five years ago. I am sure glad I started and will be continuing to keep my health in check.
I must admit that I didn’t quite get what I was looking for when I first came to see Dr. Leone. At the time, I was in a great deal of pain that started after a rather rough roller coaster ride. I enjoyed the ride but the constant shaking threw something out of whack and I could only get a couple hours of sleep at night and that was only when I was in a reclining chair. My family doctor gave me some pills for help relax my muscles but I didn’t see any improvement at all. I just wanted something done quick that would relieve all the pain and get me back to my normal schedule, hoping this would never happen again.
After the first visit with Dr. Leone, there was some relief for which I was grateful. All of the pain wasn’t gone but it was much better. It wasn’t long after that when I felt back to normal. While I was looking for a ‘quick fix’, he provided a long term solution instead. I have resumed my normal activities (including roller coaster rides) without even a hint of the pain coming back. This solution has provided much greater peace of mind as the fear of doing something to cause the pain again just isn’t there anymore. I feel the regular adjustments have helped in many areas and the suggestions/recommendations provided by Dr. Leone have helped me to pay attention to things that will provide better health all through my life instead of ‘just now’. My family comes for adjustments as well and they can tell a difference as the normal pains associated with sports activities are not as bad and are resolved in a quicker timetable than otherwise.
My recommendation? Skip the quick fix and go for the long term solution. I think you’ll be happy with the results.
I started seeing Dr. Leone for adjustments to help with lower back pain and a rotator cuff injury. In a few weeks these issues were resolved. He takes the time to explain how important regular chiro care is to our overall health. Now my family and I have regular chiropractic care visits to help us stay healthy.
I was never a believer in chiropractors, that is until I needed one. In December of 2011 I hurt my back and could barely move and couldn’t even stand for about 12 hours. Dr. Leone took a special interest in seeing that I get straightened out. (Pun intended) I immediately started feeling better after the first adjustment and visible improvement was clearly evident even within a month. I would recommend Dr. Leone to anyone wanting a better quality of life and better health. Now even my whole family enjoys the benefits of Leone Family Chiropractic!
