Before coming to Dr. Coffman’s office our family trips were delayed for a day due to our daughter’s severe anxiety, meltdowns, and tears. We often delayed plans up to a day to recover from the anxiety!
After a treatment at Dr. Coffman’s office there were No tears, no delays, and we were able to take a peaceful family trip for the first time in two years.
I didn’t think we had time for an appointment due to packing and preparing for the trip but the hour used for an appointment gained us all many hours of a peaceful family vacation. Thank you!

My pain all started with a knee injury from running. After limping
around with it for a month, I found myself having extreme back and hip pain. I had consulted with other doctors who wanted to inject my back with steroids, which was not appealing to me at all. I was able to get the inflammation down to a more manageable level by using some physical therapy modalities, but it never went away.
Each day, I woke up with pain shooting into my hip and down my legs. At times, I couldn’t tolerate standing or sitting. I was unsure how difficult each day would be until my feet hit the floor in the morning. I found Dr. Coffman through a friend and prayed that she would be the one to help me get relief. I made that first appointment hoping for help, but feeling like pain was going to be a part of life forever. At least, that was what other doctors had led me to believe.
Dr. Coffman was able to utilize very gentle muscle techniques that gave me unbelievable results in that very first visit. I walked out feeling comfortable for the first time in five months. I was astounded and a little skeptical that it would last. I was pleasantly surprised to find that not only did it last, I was able to function again. I received a few more treatments and have to honestly say, that in those treatments, Dr. Coffman gave me my life back.
I am now able to exercise, keep up with my young family and do my job without pain.
Dr. Coffman has treated me in the most holistic manner that I have ever experienced. She understands my lifestyle and looks beyond just my immediate medical needs. I am forever grateful for the help that she has given me in getting back into life!
Grateful patient

My daughter developed a cross bite and had been referred to an orthodontist for observation. Dr. Coffman gently and respectfully treated the misalignments she could detect. Not only did the cross bite resolve without any orthodontic treatment of any kind, but other minor health challenges resolved as well. The time and money we invested with Dr. Coffman is so very valuable and began to pay dividends right from the start. Our family is deeply grateful for her care. E. A.
“I asked Dr. Coffman to help me with four mysterious bumps on my right elbow. These bumps turned out to be warts. Dr. Coffman proceeded to work on the meridian connected with my right arm and in less than 12 hours they were gone! They literally dried up and fell off!” S. A.
