From the front office personal, to the chiropractors, and the therapist at Vanguard, the staff have been nothing but kind and understanding. They have been so supportive in my journey of healing. The staff has been more than accommodating. Each time I arrive, they all greet you by name and make you feel like you are their good friend. I highly recommend Vanguard Spine & Sport.

This facility is awesome ... the warmth , the positivity, the passion for what they do really shows. The office was my happy place after a car accident that left me w herniated disks in neck and lower back. Dr Oswald worked his magic, along w his team of therapists - to help decompress and HEAL my back. This office was my second home for months, it also was my mental escape from the pain. I highly recommend Vanguard Spine & Sport.

I can’t say enough about Vanguard and the amazing people that work there. They ALWAYS have a smile on their face and a great attitude. They have a decompression machine like no other. I have had lots of back pain and sciatic issues and the decompression machine and getting adjusted has helped tremendously. If you’re looking for a chiropractor, this is the place to be.
