"Dr. Payton not only is equipped with incredible knowledge in her field of expertise as a chiropractor, but she also has unmatched passion for her career and patients. I some odd but very agitating pain and inflammation in my ankle around my Achilles tendon that had continued to worsen, and she didn't hesitate to offer help as soon as I asked for her advice. She took the time to ask me how the issue originated, assessed the area of pain, and went even further by taking account the activities and workouts I have been doing that seem to bother it, pointing out some underlying problems that may be causing it to worsen. Dr. Payton then did a dry needling session on my ankle, in which she was extremely gentle and adept at.

"Resilience Chiropractic, simply put, is a league above. Dr. (Payton) Birkel has a great view on not only Chiropractic, but staying active and promoting physical wellness. It is almost as if Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, and some personal training are all combined into one. Payton’s initial exam was incredible, and I learned so much about not only my own body, as well as many strategies I could use to become resilient in my (very) active lifestyle. The best part: she explained it all in a way that easily resonated with me, as I have no medical background. Dr. Payton is thorough, efficient, and incredibly skilled. She adjusted me, provided dry needling treatment, and then went above and beyond recommending exercises that would help maintain the great feeling I had leaving her office. I’ve visited Resilience Chiropractic twice now, and can’t say enough good things. Thanks Payton!"

"Dr Payton is amazing!

She met me where I'm at in my health journey and my needs and goals. I didn't feel like just a number. She genuinely cares about people, and has a whole life aspect approach to her care and treatment. She has a broad skill set to help people whatever their needs and goals could be.

She's super patient and kind and always takes the time to listen my questions and concerns. She not only wants to help address any issues, but also she wants to educate her clients on the "why" to help them on their health journey.

My specific needs and goals relate to running, and it was enlightening for her to explain certain issues and biomechanics to me that I hadn't thought would affect each other. My specific weaknesses relate to hip and ankle mobility and even with my couple visits to her, I've already seen improvement in my understanding and mobility control from what she's shown me.

She is a super encouraging and positive person and has a huge heart for people. I'm glad for spending time with her and I'm sure you will too."
