Resilient Spine

Dr. Ar’neka is awesome! Her understanding of body mechanics far exceeds anyone that I have ever worked with. She’s like a combination of a chiropractor and physical therapist. I started seeing her because I started developing low back making it hard to bend over. I also have an old head and neck injury that’s affected my quality of life for over 20 years. Before finding her, I saw so many specialists—neurologists, osteopaths, physical therapists, naturopaths, Bowen therapists, and chiropractors—but nothing worked the way her care does. She really listens and takes the time to understand your unique situation. Since starting treatment, my back pain is nearly gone, my core is getting stronger, my posture is much better, my neck pain and headaches are improving, and my weight training and daily activities don’t bother me like they used to. She gives me new exercises tailored to me every visit to actually correct the problem, not just put a band-aid on it. If something flares up, she has given me the tools and strategies to address it myself. On top of all that, she’s so fun to work with! Her care has truly been life-changing. I highly recommend her!

I had been experiencing persistent pain in my knees and leg for nearly a year, which first became noticeable after going out dancing in high heels. As a dance teacher in my early 40s, I found this especially frustrating. I sought help from many doctors who insultingly suggested that I was just too old to wear high heels or lose weight, despite being reasonably fit and not overweight. After going to physical therapy, I learned the issues stemmed from a lack of core strength and tightness in my hips, which was somewhat hidden by my hypermobility and flexibility in my lower back. This compensation made it difficult to recognize the problem, as I was still able to perform the stretches I had always done. Unfortunately, the physical therapy provided only general exercises and advised that Pilates or yoga would be more beneficial. My experience with Dr. Ar’neka was markedly different and so much better! She conducted a thorough examination of my entire body, pinpointed the exact problems, and provided specific exercises tailored to my needs. Now, whenever I feel a twinge of that old pain, I know exactly how to address it. During my treatment, I also experienced a fall that hurt my shoulder, and she quickly identified the issue, offering targeted exercises for recovery. Dr. Ar’neka's specialized and attentive care is unmatched. Her ability to find the root cause of problems and help patients understand how to utilize their bodies holistically is truly magnificent. I highly recommend Resilient Spine for anyone committed to living freely and reconnecting with their bodies, especially for mothers and those recovering from injuries!

When I first came to Dr. Ar’Neka, I was in terrible pain and could barely move after injuring my back. Even after just one session, I felt a noticeable difference. She is truly unlike any other chiropractor I’ve seen, I swear she has X-ray vision and can pinpoint exactly where the pain is coming from and what’s causing it. Her combination of manual massage and chiropractic adjustments addresses the root of the issue, and she goes a step further by providing personalized at home exercises to strengthen the weak areas, so the problem doesn’t return. Dr. Ar’Neka is not only incredibly knowledgeable and skilled, but she also brings such uplifting energy to each session. Her warm, down to earth personality makes the experience even better. I always leave in a great mood, feeling both physically and emotionally lighter. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone dealing with chronic pain from past injuries or those recovering from something recent.

I can’t say enough good things about my experience at Resilient Spine. I came in with chronic knee pain I’ve had since I was a teenager, along with lower back pain that had developed over the past several years. These issues were affecting my sleep, making me hesitant to exercise, and overall just wearing me down. I hadn’t tried any other treatments before and had never been to a chiropractor so I was definitely a little nervous about what to expect. I’m so glad this was my first step. The care I received was truly exceptional. The approach was unlike anything I’ve experienced — a thoughtful and unique blend of bodywork, strength training, and gentle adjustments. It wasn’t just about relieving pain in the moment (though it did!), but about rebuilding strength and balance. Each session helped me feel stronger, and the pain became noticeably less frequent and intense. What stood out just as much was the care and attention from Dr. Ar'neka. She was warm, friendly, compassionate, and always took the time to listen to how I was feeling. I felt truly supported and understood throughout the process. I’ve learned so much about how to care for my body moving forward. I highly recommend Resilient Spine and Dr. Ar'neka!

I highly recommend Dr. Ar'neka Cooper. When I first came in to office, I was a little nervous. But when I was greeted and was able to talk with Dr Ar'neka, she made me feel as if we have been friends for a while and definitely made the experience worth it. During the session, she allowed my husband to come in on the side for support. During the visit, we were able to talk about my issues, she stretched, massaged, and worked on the areas of concern. She is definitely the one you want to see and work with for Chiro!
