OMGOODNESS! I walked in with a cane, with everything you can scan with my chronic back. I was rearended in March 2026. He is the only one out of multiple professionals that prayed my neck & found it was convoluted onto of my back. It took 2 visits, recommended probiotics & fish oil +. Now 1 week later, I am no longer walking at a 50 degrees bent over, limping with a cane, out of my mind with unbearable pain, to walking into the office, no cane, minor nerve pain limp, & being treated. This is no joke! Chronic pain with new acute pain for 24 years. Miraculous is the only word. Believe it or not, I'm a walking testimony. I'm a retired nurse & don't trust many. Here I trust. Nacho, the GoldenDoodle is so intuitive to others pain. He will spend time with the one(s) that need it the most for the day/ hour. He greets, sits majestically, love flows from Brad to every customer. I'm a dog mom. He needs to be a "Service Dog" no questions asked. I'm sure he'd pass & a true family pet. Awesome connections. I love him & known him 3 visits. They won't disappoint!

Can’t appreciate the services I’ve received here enough from both Dr Brad and Austin. Upon walking in I’m always greeted warmly and treated like family. And they do so for all their clients. I was in a dark spot in my life when I first found this little magical place. I had tons of symptoms that doctors could never diagnose for over a year and was very tired and frustrated being turned away constantly with no answers. I needed to seek out alternative methods to feel better and this was one I don’t regret. Dr Brad spends a lot of time in the first initial assessments to get to know your problems and treat them accordingly. His vast medical knowledge, in-depth initial tests and empathy towards your issues really makes you know you are in the right hands. But he also doesn’t provide you any false sense of hope that perhaps other chiropractic offices might and he creates reasonable goals which you can achieve thru a combination of your own efforts and by coming in for treatments. He provides you the right tools and information to establish a personalized plan over time to help you feel better and meet your goals. If you stick to the plan, I can tell you from actual experience, it works. Even a year and a half later, there has never been a moment where I've thought to receive similar treatments elsewhere as I feel totally satisfied in the quality of all the care I've received here and will continue to return. I truly feel like it has supplemented me to feel better overall mentally and physically. And for that I am eternally grateful.

Dr Brad is a very knowledgeable, encouraging and effective chiropractor. I love his holistic approach with incorporating nutrition and exercise. Dr Austin helps with the deep tissue work that needs to be done to compliment my adjustments when needed. He is very skilled and knowledgeable as well. He also is very good with kids and helped my 4 year old who fell and hurt his neck. I would and have recommended Dr Brad to friends and family and trust his expertise!

My experience with Dr. Brad has been wonderful! When I fist came to see him I was experiencing lower back pain, and right hip discomfort. With only a few visits I started to see an improvement, and feel less pain. He is very knowledgeable and professional. He also takes the time to explain the treatment plan & the process of healing. He and his staff are friendly, and always remind me of my appointments. I would definitely recommend Dr. Brad to all of my friends and family. This has been my best chiropractic experience.

Rio Rancho chiropractic FAQ

What people searching “chiropractor Rio Rancho” ask us

Who is the best chiropractor in Rio Rancho, NM?

Look for a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic who measures progress, not just “how you feel today.” Synergy Spine and Nerve Center has served Rio Rancho for 20+ years with a Spinal Health Assessment, written findings, and no prepaid contracts. Call (505) 891-2280.

Do you see Albuquerque, Corrales, and Bernalillo patients?

Yes. The office is at 1453 Rio Rancho Blvd, Suite 2 — about 15–25 minutes from Albuquerque’s Westside, 12 minutes from Corrales, and 15 minutes from Bernalillo. We publish dedicated pages for those communities so local searches can find the right service.

Do you treat sciatica, disc herniation, and neuropathy without surgery?

When you are a candidate, yes. We combine specific adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression, and home spinal hygiene. If imaging or neuro findings point to surgery, we say so and coordinate rather than selling a plan you do not need.

Do you offer pediatric, prenatal, and sports chiropractic?

Yes. Pediatric force is scaled to the child. Prenatal care uses pregnancy-appropriate positioning and the Webster-informed pelvic work when indicated. Sports visits include return-to-play criteria, not only an adjustment.

What if I was just in a car accident?

Get examined within 72 hours when you can. Whiplash and disc injuries often show up on day two or three. New Mexico PIP / med-pay often covers chiropractic after a collision. We document for your physician and, if needed, your attorney.

Does insurance cover chiropractic?

Often yes for medically necessary care, with visit limits and copays that vary by plan — including many private insurers and some New Mexico Medicaid / Centennial Care cases. Call (505) 891-2280 before your first visit and we will help you check benefits. We do not require prepaid packages.

Can I find a walk-in chiropractor in Albuquerque?

Walk-in franchise clinics exist in the metro. We are not one of them. First visits in Rio Rancho are scheduled (often same week) because the exam is 45–60 minutes. Call (505) 891-2280 if you need the next open slot.

What are red flags for chiropractors?

Prepaid year-long contracts before an exam, promises to cure non-musculoskeletal disease, discouraging you from seeing your physician, and X-rays on everyone without a reason. We exam first, write findings, and refer out when we are the wrong tool.

Can a chiropractor give you a cortisone shot?

No. Cortisone injections are outside chiropractic scope. We offer adjustments, decompression when indicated, Softwave, and rehab. If an injection is the better next step, we say so and coordinate with your MD.

Is it good to get adjusted by a chiropractor?

When joint restriction, disc, or nerve irritation is the driver, spinal manipulation is a first-line option for many back and neck cases. It is not automatically “good” as a weekly ritual with no exam. We measure, treat, and stop when the goal is met.
