Health And Happiness
Dr. Charlie Prins

“After having four children and years of lower back pain, Dr. Prins was able to help soothe the aches and provide strengthening exercises and advice for a healthier back and healthier lifestle. His sharing of knowledge of the mechanics of the human body go beyond any other medical experience. Dr. Prins uses his calm, healing energy in a supportive and caring way. With his help I’ve been able to clear up digestive problems, sinus problems as well as the back pain I originally came in for. He is not a back doctor, he is a doctor for the soul.”

-J. O’Brien

“Dr. Prins is my “go to” doctor for most any physically-based ailment.”

My 11 year old will periodically say, “Mom, I hurt my (insert body part)”, I need to see Dr. Prins. One time during a holiday, I twisted my ankle and dislocated my toe. When I called Dr. Prins’ office, he took part of his lunch hour to see me to adjust my foot back into place. Thanks to Dr. Prins, I was able to walk easily the next day and didn’t have to suffer through the long holiday weekend hobbling around on a sore foot. As well, Dr. Prins has helped me with diet recommendations and supplements that have diminished mineral and vitamin deficiencies as well as alleviated cholesterol and blood sugar issues. When I go back for retesting in my GP’s office, they are impressed with the results achieved without taking prescription medicines. Finally, anytime we feel seasonal flu/colds coming on, we know Dr. P. will figure out the optimal herbal remedy to heal the illness faster than if we used OTC or prescription products. We feel so lucky to have Dr. Prins as a resource in our area!

I want to write you a heartfelt thank you for your help for both by daughter and me . You made a huge difference in the pain in her stomach after many years of discomfort for her. I know you understand what that means to a parent. Then you helped me get rid of that horrible rash, and also improved my diet and understanding of my health overall. You really have changed our lives in a most positive way and I appreciate it tremendously. Thank you again and see you around the community!

“When I came to Dr. Prins I honestly had lost hope of feeling somewhat good ever again.”

I was having migranes for 6-7 days at a time and difficulty breathing. I had exhausted every medical doctor out there and had simply given up. Within 2 months of seeing Dr. Prins I could breathe and my migranes were down to 2-3 days at a time. Not only is Dr. Prins commpassionate and personable, but he listens to you and helps you!

“…he is the most skilled adjuster I have encountered.”

I am a 63-year old Chiropractor who retired from practice about 11 years ago due to injuries. Dr. Charlie Prins practiced across the street from my office, and I knew him a little from chiropractic school. He was a dedicated student, and I knew about his volunteer work at the free clinic. He also impressed me as a person of intellegence and integrity, so when I was recovering from some chronic back and shoulder problems, I began seeing him about two years ago. As someone who has had a lot of chiropratic care, I can say that he is the most skilled adjuster I have encountered. As a patient who is a challenge to adjust, I know I am in “good hands”. I walk in crooked and in pain, and I walk out balanced and improved. He has remained committed to excellence as a doctor, and always takes time to be thorough.

“I recommend him to my own patients without reservation.”

I highly recommend Dr. Prins’s work to anyone who is interested in a high level of care and maintenance. It has made a tremendous difference in my own life, allowing me to maintain an active and healthy life while supporting both body and mind. I recommend him to my own patients without reservation.

“I first came to Charlie over 20 years ago for a neck injury and have been coming monthly ever since. He’s very effective at treating acute problems as well as maintaining the body’s alignment, which I’m convinced wards off disease and keeps me feeling young!”

- Eliot Schain

“I have severe scoliosis, and I had been in pain for years and years.”

I started seeing Charlie 12 years ago, he is the only pratitioner, medical or otherwise, who has helped me. Currently I am working with Charlie to eliminate excess yeast in my system, with Charlie’s help I’ve lost 15 lbs! I feel much better than I have in years, and I have very few bouts with pain. I have to eat right and exercise, but Charlie is an integral part of maintaining my health.

- Mary Dresser

“Dr. Prins has been a wonderful medical Practioner for me. I originally saw him for wrist pain due to computer work and now I am pain free. I feel more in touch with my body since seeing him.”

“Prins Chiropractic is the place.”

I’ve been a patient of Dr. Prins for years. Started seeing him when I lived in the neighborhood, but continue to see him even though I live across town. Charlie (as most of his patients call him) is both a great chiropractor and a really nice guy. He takes the time to explain what is going on, and why he is treating you in a certain way. He frequently offers advice for making general improvements in my daily habits, but never holds it against me if I don’t adjust my lifestyle accordingly. The “staff” at the office is also outstanding. Tina will welcome you with a smile and remembers the most pertinent details and preferences for patients. Appointment schedules are maintained better than any other chiropratic office I have visited. Charlie is never late, but always seems to find a way to accommodate me if *I* am late. If you are looking for an applied kinesiology specialist, sports chiropractor, or just the best general chiropractor on the block, Prins Chiropractic is the place.

“I have been a patient of Dr. Prins for about 15 years. He is the only chiropractor I have seen who has been able to to ease the chronic pain in my shoulder. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any kind of adjustment. He’s a prince!”
