I injured my right knee in 2007 and wasn't able to ride my bike anymore because of the pain. I met Dr.Maria O'Connell at Eagle Trace Chiropractic and she introduced me to the many benefits of A.R.T. Based on education provided by Dr.Maria I learned not only did my knee require treatment but also other muscle areas of my right leg to support the knee. After a few months of chiropractic treatment I was back to riding my bike again!

I was also experiencing some pain and discomfort in the center of my chest from double mastectomy surgery done in 2005. Dr.Maria discussed with me the benefits of A.R.T. regarding scar tissue. She used A.R.T. to soften the scar tissue that had developed in the area. Then she adjusted the front part of my chest. That completely took the pain and discomfort away! I thought that discomfort in my chest was going to be something I would have my whole life because of the surgery. But thanks to A.R.T. and Dr.Maria, it's gone.

In February 2011 while stopped at a red light I was rear-ended by a truck. Although very little damage was done to my car, I experienced significant neck pain and severe headaches immediately following the car accident. I saw Dr.Josh Rickert a couple days after the accident and he began chiropractic treatment after viewing my x-rays. Dr.Josh also recommended massage therapy by David which helped tremendously. The massage therapy loosened up my tight sore neck and back muscles, which helped provide a good chiropractic adjustment. Within weeks after the care accident my headaches were gone.

Don't be concerned about receiving chiropractic treatment. Discuss your health concerns and problem areas with Dr.Maria or Dr.Josh and you'll be on your way to pain free days!

Before turning to chiropractic the migraines and vertigo that I had been experiencing were affecting my job and my life! My migraines & vertigo were being attributed to an inner ear infection by my medical doctor but I knew this wasn't the case and tried chiropractic instead!  My vertigo was gone immediately and my migraine pain was significantly reduced after only one adjustment.  Since coming to see Dr. Rickert, the quality of my life has been improved greatly!

After receiving 6 weeks of intense physical therapy for a work related back injury, I decided it was time to try something new.  My back pain did not improve until I saw  Dr. Maria and massage therapist David.  I started improving almost immediately & was back to normal work duties with only a few visits.  I am now able to care for patients and do the work I love!  My outlook on life is much better, because I'm no longer in pain and I seem to be functioning at a much higher level.  Dr. Maria and David helped me understand my injury & gave me tips to prevent it from recurring.  Thanks for the amazing care!

I was involved in very bad car accident this past August and I was in a lot of pain before I started coming to see Dr. Rickert for my neck and back symptoms.  He has helped me so much!  Following my accident, I could hardly turn my neck but Dr. Rickert was able to restore my range of motion and help me to function much better.  Thank you Dr. Rickert for all that you have done for me!

Two years ago, I was introduced to Active Release Technique (ART) while competing at the Ironman Florida triathlon and was impressed with the results.  So, when I developed an overuse injury while training for Twin Cities Marathon last fall, I sought out a provider in the Twin Cities who was trained in ART.  I was thrilled when I found Dr. O'Connell so close to home (Burnsville) and work (Eagan).   Because of my own and other triathlete friends' experience with ART, I chose to seek care with her.

Dr. O'Connell had me back on the running paths after only one visit and back to 100% in a couple of weeks (5 or so visits).  For comparison, I had the same injury several years ago and it took two doctor visits, months of physical therapy, one MRI, one cortisone injection, and finally several weeks of no running to recover.  As an avid triathlete and runner, I highly value ART and it's ability to get me back to doing what I love quickly without surgery or drugs.

I was always skeptical of chiropractic care until visiting Eagle Trace Wellness Center.  The Doctors are professional, personable and take the time to get to know you.  They will help you better understand what chiropractic is all about and they work hard to ensure that it is a comfortable experience.  I would encourage anyone who is skeptical of chiropractic to try Eagle Trace!

I had never before experienced chiropractic before coming to Eagle Trace.  I was having terrible headaches daily and I was tired of taking pills to kill the pain.  I was having to take 3-4 Tylenol at a time due to  the severity of symptoms.  Within just a couple visits to see Dr. Rickert I have been free of headaches and functioning much better!

The chronic back pain that I have been experiencing for years has improved vastly with the care I've received at Eagle Trace and more specifically from Dr. Rickert.  I've also been been very happy with the guidance Dr. Rickert has provided me regarding what I should and shouldn't be doing between visits.  Thanks!!

I've been running since 2004 and have struggled with bouts of runner's knee. Orthotics and physical therapy helped somewhat, but I believe that active release technique, combined with ultrasound therapy, has been the most helpful treatment I've had in treating and preventing runner's knee. Dr. Maria has just the right touch to loosen up those muscles and tendons that tend to get tight when I run, and regular ART appointments keep those muscles and tendons relaxed.
