Patient Testimonials
“I am so thankful to have people like Dr. Howie out there that are a master at what they do. I have gone to her a few times over the years as needed each time I do something dumb and mess up my neck and shoulder muscles. Without fail, she gets me back to normal and impresses me yet again. Two days ago I couldn’t get out of bed, and today I’m almost 100% feeling like I can live my life again. My thanks to Dr. Howie and her team is immeasurable!”
“I’ve been seeing Dr. Howie for about a year. I absolutely love my visits to the office – not only do I feel amazing after each visit, all of the staff are super friendly and helpful, so it’s always a nice experience. Dr. Howie has been such a blessing in my life. She’s helped get my body back into better mechanics, and has taught me many different stretches to help offset my daily work habits (sitting & standing in front of a laptop all day, numerous meetings, etc.). This is the first chiropractor I’ve seen who leverages Active Release Technique, and it’s been transformative. I highly recommend Performance and Dr. Howie!”
“Best Chiropractic care ever! Dr Janet Howie takes her time to ask questions and identify the source of the problem. She is caring, educational, and goes out of her way to give her patients the absolute best care. She works on TMJ, all kinds of back and hip issues, and our children’s sports injuries. Her office staff is knowledgeable, professional, and kind. If you are in pain don’t wait, get an appointment with Dr Janet she is amazing!!!”
“I’ve been going to Dr. Howie for the past few years for chronic neck pain and she is simply amazing. She has helped me out immensely and I can’t recommend her or the staff at Performance Chiropractic enough!“
