TL:DR / THE SUMMARY - I'm a 100% satisfied client of Dr. Myshka. I travel 300+ miles to see him; totally worth it. I feel and function FAR better after being treated by Myshka. He is caring, cheerful, and professional, and his staff is too. I highly recommend Family Chiropractic Center - no reservations.

THE REVIEW
My long, exhaustive search for alternative treatment to a disabling, highly painful 14-year-old back problem led me to Dr. James Myshka (chiropractor extraordinaire) at Family Chiropractic Center in Fayetteville, AR. I am not especially fond of doctors; I don't trust them, because most of them treat patients like they are an inconvenience and because most docs treat symptoms of health problems, not the actual cause of the problem. Dr. Myshka treats the cause, and he is dedicated enough to hunt it down if it's not readily apparent. Who else does that these days, my friend? Precious few...
Here are the top 10 reasons I patronize Dr. Myshka's practice. Oh, and I travel from Dallas, TX to Fayetteville, AR (over 300 miles/5 hours each way – well worth it!) to be treated by him and his amazing staff:
10. HE DOESN'T BREAK MY BANK - Treatment fees are reasonable and exceptionally fair.
9. THEY TAKE MY INSURANCE - Family Chiropractic Center accepts my insurance – one that is often refused by other medical offices.
8. GREAT STAFF - The carefully-chosen staff is friendly and helpful and is clearly working together as a well-oiled machine. They are always quick to address my concerns, and they do what they say they will do. No, seriously – they do!
7. THE DOC IS HIGHLY TRAINED - Dr. Myshka has an unusually high level of training. He is a Gonstead Fellow and Diplomat – kind of like a medical doctor enduring several more years of brutal training to specialize in a particular field (say, brain surgery, for example).
6. FREE STUFF THEY OFFER - The free, after-hours courses Dr. Myshka offers to help us patients learn how our bodies work, how to care for our bodies better, and remain injury/pain free are terrific. I have a strong medical background and still learned a TON of useful, practical info!
5. NO ANNOYING SALES PITCHES OR GUILT TRIPS - The fact that Dr. Myshka and his staff never once tried to hound or guilt me into purchasing more sessions, more products, more anything was a massive bonus for me. Seriously – I DESPISE chiros who do that and have intentionally steered clear of the entire world of chiropractic until I found Family Chiropractic Center!
4. ON-TIME APPOINTMENTS - Patients are seen quickly and on time. Usually, I am in the waiting room less than five minutes. Not even joking. They were super-busy once, and I think I waited maaaaaaybe ten minutes that day.
3. CLEAR COMMUNICATION - Dr. Myshka takes the time to explain his treatments, his approach to my care, and get this – he does it in plain English that isn't condescending or insulting to my intelligence.
2. DR. MYSHKA REALLY LISTENS - Dr. Myshka actually listens to me when I tell him what's going on with my body, and he truly seems to care about helping me feel and function better. And when I asked him not to repeat an especially painful adjustment that did not appear to me to be helpful, he didn't argue or tell me to tough it out, he changed his approach immediately. And when his treatment produced unexpectedly good results (that is to say that *I* didn't expect the unexpected. I think the doctor expected miracles, but that's just how he is. No joke.), Dr. Myshka and his staff were grinning just as hard and just as big as I was.
1. AMAZING RESULTS & *HUGE* REDUCTION IN PAIN - The first time I walked into Family Chiropractic Center, I was in excruciating pain, relying heavily on a cane for support, limping profoundly, my toes pointed inward as I walked, and my back was bent forward about 30 degrees. After a series of intensive treatments over the period of a few days, I went back to Texas with about 90% LESS pain, only using my cane for balance (one of my legs doesn't work well due to permanent nerve damage), 95% less limp, my toes pointing 100% forward, and a scant 5 degrees away from walking perfectly upright.
Note that it has been a couple of months since my last treatment. I have followed Dr. Myshka's advise about how to rehab and care for my body, and as long as I follow his simple recommendations, I continue to see improvement.
I cannot recommend Dr. Myshka highly enough. I cannot imagine how miserable my life would be had he not helped me.
THANK YOU, DR. JAMES MYSHKA!!! You truly worked a miracle for me.
