First and foremost I'd like to say thank you to Dr. Anthony Cisternino and his staff! The line of work I am in, and the sports I still play have put a lot of stress on my body. Going to the chiropractor is a must and Anthony is by far the best! With the adjustments, therapy, and stretches he gives to you, I will always be feeling my best!Daniel Rieger

I had been going to a physical therapist for years without my back pain subsiding. I started seeing Dr. Cisternino and within 1 month, he was able to eliminate the chronic pain. I asked him about some other issues (knees, hands, shoulders, etc.) and he was able to get rid of that pain too. He also taught me stretches to help with and new pains. I feel so much better. Plus, parking in the area is super easy.John Bullistron

I was getting destroyed daily by tension headaches from sitting at a computer all day at work. Anthony was able to get rid of them in no time at all. He also has provided me with exercises and tips on how to keep my back and other joints in tip top shape.Arthur S.

Dr. C has been helping me with my lower back and shoulder/neck pain. In addition to helping me in the office he's also given me three different exercises to strengthen the muscles I need to prevent future pain issues. For now it appears to be helping. I believe in his services so much that I've convinced my husband (who's been complaining about severe shoulder pain for over a year) to go see him this week. Note: prior to becoming a chiropractor Dr. C was a massage therapist. It's my personal, and scientifically invalid opinion that this makes him an above average chiropractor.Michele B.

Let me start by saying, I LOVE Dr. Anthony Cisterno! For the last two years, I have had lower back pain due to some disc degeneration and joint problems. I have been getting regular steroid injections to relieve the pain. These injections are very painful and unfortunately do not last long. I am a big fan of chiropractic care so I looked to augment these injections with adjustments. I found Dr. Anthony through my insurance provider and I think I have found the cure-all for my back problems! For the last two months, he has worked on me and taught me exercises that have provided a very positive result. I have had no injections and I would guess at a 95% betterment to my lower back pain. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND DR. ANTHONY!Maria L.

Outstanding is the only description that needs to be said. I started seeing Anthony due to some soreness in my back while lifting. I also had a reoccurring dislocation of my shoulder. I had surgery in 98 and then re-dislocated in 11. I have seen several doctors and chiropractors. The doctors wanted to perform surgery and the other chiropractors had avoided my shoulder. Anthony worked with me over the period of a couple months and all I have to say is wow. My lifts increased dramatically and all the fatigue I use to feel after a workout is gone. I have better range of motion and better stability of the joint than after the original surgery in 98. I highly recommend his services! You will not regret it.Eddie G.

Dr. C did a great job at diagnosing my back issue. What surprised me was his ability to not only help the pain with basic movements, but tell me how to prevent the pain moving forward. He didn't just crack my back and tell me to come back in a week. He advised me to do certain exercises at home, and then call him in a few days to see how it went. Bottom line, the Doc knows what he's doing and he cares about your will being.Keith M.

I went to Anthony to help with my neck and upper back pain. He helped relieve the pain, but also helped me make some simple adjustments to my posture and habits to prevent the pain from coming back. I appreciated that he was interested not only in treating the problem, but helping me prevent it. He is also really responsive and keeps flexible hours. Highly recommended!Katie M.

Dr. Cisternino helped me out a lot. I've had an issue with planters fasciitis in my feet for a couple years now. The only form of treatment I've ever been given is stretching and icing. Dr. Cisternino explained in detail that my injury was a lot more than just a muscle strain, but a deep tissue aggrevation. He successfully relieved the pain I was feeling through physical therapy methods and gave me helpful exercises to prevent further injury. I highly recommend seeing Dr. Cisternino not only for physical injuries but also for prevention of future injury.Laura P.

He made me feel very comfortable and he has helped me tremendously with lower back pain. The pain is completely gone.Mina A.

I was initially skeptical about going to a chiropractor, as I am in the rehab/therapy profession myself. Some chiropractors have the mentality that patients should see them FOREVER FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES (as a previous one had told me). Who really has the time and money for that? I saw Dr. C for a chronic shoulder pain, and he did a great job 1) relieving the pain, and 2) showing me exercises that I could do on my own so that I wouldn't become dependent on his services. He was very honest at the beginning and said I would only need to see him for 2-3 more sessions. Dr. C is super friendly and answered my questions thoroughly and professionally. After about a month, my shoulder felt better than it ever had since the pain began. If you want to have a chiropractor who will simply do the same rote adjustments for you until you are old and die, Dr C is not for you. If you want to see a chiropractor who will help your pain go away and not become dependent on him/her, then I highly recommend Anthony.Mylinh M.

I met Dr. C on the golf course rather fortuitously. I had struggled with lower back pain increasingly for years (I was only 28 at the time). I asked him for a card and was in his office within a week. After a couple of visits working on my back and shoulders and discussing my jobs, sports, etc, we determined that an injury from high school could've been the culprit and began working on my lower core to take stress off my back and also reprogramming my back and shoulder muscles to repair the muscle that had been injured 10 years prior. After a few weeks my back pain was gone and after a few months of working out, doing the exercises Dr. Cisternino gave me, and making the physical improvements I needed, I've never felt better. I still see him semi-regularly but mainly just to stay loose during golf season. His goal was to get me better and out there feeling good and we achieved it so much faster and easier than I thought possible. Not your typical chiropractor, he truly is a therapist. It's not about periodic maintenance, but fixing you and teaching to you stay healthy. Truly the most fortuitous chance meeting I've ever had and I'd gladly recommend him to anyone who doesn't think that pain can go away.jason m.

Dr Anthony Cisternino is great at what he does. He got me feeling back to my old self in no time and explained how there were functional things wrong with my muscles. He incorporated activities into our treatments that really solved my problem and not just fixed my symptoms. There needs to be more chiros treating patients like he does and I'm glad I found him. Give him a call you wont regret it!Otylia H.
