Success Stories

Love the staff and their proficiency. Dr. O’Connell is awesome, he listens to your concerns and goes above and beyond. The reason I like Progressive Spine & Rehab is because you feel like your family when you walk in through the door.

I came to see Dr. O’Connell after experiencing nagging low back pain and shoulder pain. Not only did I get a thorough exam and adjustment but he took the time to show me the proper exercises to get better. After just two visits I could tell a tremendous difference. I’ve returned to Crossfit with no issues and am free to do the things I love doing again. I highly recommend him to everyone.

Thank you so much to everyone at Progressive Spine & Rehab Center (Ian, Eric, Liz and Lynn) for helping me heal after my injury. I highly recommend you to anyone struggling with pain. The personalized treatment was so helpful. Having chiropractic care, physical therapy and massage therapy available under one roof was so convenient. Thank you.

I have had chronic back pain for 25 years from competitive sports including front and back fusion surgery in 2002. In 25 years I have not had as much relief as I have since having a combination of deep tissue massage and chiropractic care at Progressive Spine and Rehab Center in Manchester. I am going on 4 months of tx and can’t say enough about these talented, knowledgeable and dedicated practitioners! Highly recommend!!

I recently over stressed my back & neck and found myself in a world of major discomfort. I got a 1 hr massage with Shelby followed by physical therapy with Dr Ian and a chiropractic adjustment by Dr Eric. In just that 90 minute appointment I was back to my comfort level that night. That combination of therapies resulted in restored mobility, improved health and reestablished function. This event prompted me to write this open letter of endorsement. Also please know: Dr Eric O’Connell, DC was recommended to me by another chiropractor The respect, integrity, discipline & communication skills are superb The “Concierge Program” reduces out of pocket expenses When Dr Ian starts singing, you start laughing I am pleased to give 5 stars to Progressive Spine & Rehab Center Thanks so much for your dedication to better health.

I can’t speak highly enough about the high level of care and service I have received here. I have called here on many occasions where I was in extreme pain and they were able to fit me into their schedule at then last minute. Their flexibility and truly caring staff are why I would never even think of going anywhere else.

I have had a bulging disc in my lower back for a few months. After several trips to my local physical therapy office, I still wasn’t feeling great and the exercises I was prescribed didn’t help or actually hurt. I visited Dr. O’Connell’s office and it was so different! I felt like he really listened to my problem, was sympathetic to the fact that I couldn’t be as active as I wanted to be, and really understood what to do. He showed me exercises to do, did ultrasound on my back and even some acupuncture. I finally felt some relief. It’s hard to find a doctor that has the time to really listen and make a difference and I think Dr. O’Connell is finally that person. Would definitely recommend!

I started coming to see Eric a few weeks ago and noticed instant improvement with chiropractic work and stretches. Eric has a very kind reassuring nature about him. He makes you feel very comfortable and he listens to what you have to say. I haven’t ever felt rushed and he took the time to explain my initial diagnosis and what my future visits would entail. I am happy to say that as of 2/23 I will only be returning once a week and hopefully after that once every two. This is due, I believe, to the great care I have received.

I first went to see Dr. O’Connell after suffering from chronic headaches. Not only was he able to identify and treat the source of my pain, but he also gave me exercises I could do at home to help prevent it from reoccurring. He was great at explaining to me what was causing my symptoms and gave me plenty of everyday tools I now use to improve my overall health and comfort. I am happy to say I am now pain free! Overall this was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend Dr. O’Connell to anyone who is looking for quality treatment and care.

Dr. O’Connell, I can’t thank you enough for helping me work through my back and hip issues. It meant a lot to me that you discussed and analyzed the process with me. Adding exercises into our sessions complemented the process perfectly for me and I am faithful to them still.

Dr O’Connell is extremely professional, caring, and able to diagnose my back problems extremely quickly. He follows through by contacting me after office visits to see how I’m doing. I find him to be very honorable and it is my pleasure to recommend him. He also interacts very well with other medical professionals.

Both Dr. Merrick and Dr O’Connell are both very attentive and caring practitioners. They get to know their patients personally and always go the extra mile. I have seen several different Chiropractors because of moving in the past but I always come back here. They are gentle but efficient in their techniques and accommodating to your schedule.

I am supremely happy with my care. The blend of chiropractic and physical therapy is unique which I found refreshing.

A perfect way to stay healthy. If you maintain your car and update your social media status, do you focus that much on your own health? Try investing in the greatest thing you will ever own! Thank you Dr. O’Connell.

Dr. O’Connell is very knowledgable and professional. The office is very welcoming and I feel comfortable that all my health concerns are being given an honest answer. You can tell that the staff genuinely cares and I can almost always get a same day appointment.

I received excellent treatment here during my recovery from my motorcycle accident. The chiropractic care helped relieve my pain and stiffness. By following the treatment plan I was able to restore my mobility and now I feel like I function better than I did before the accident.

I was visiting from out of town and needed help with an issue in my lower back. I was, at the time with another chiro in my area. I decided not to wait and came here. Not only did he fix my back pain but the plan I was on from my original Chiro was designed to get my money. He save me from pain and spending money. Highly recommend!!

I always make an appointment to visit Dr. O’Connell when I am up in New Hampshire. His adjustments always make a difference in both my posture and my pain level. He sends me home with exercises to do to help in the long run. Thank you!

The help I received at O’Connell Progressive Chiropractic and United PT was outstanding! The doctors were knowledgeable and the staff were equally helpful. I would highly recommend there services to anyone seeking relief from low back pain.

Exceptional service and thorough knowledge of treatment techniques that work. Great and experienced staff. Professional and caring environment.

I came in to see Dr O’Connell in terrible sciatic pain for several weeks. I was in Florida during this bout I had to be wheel chair at both airports I couldn’t walk. I came here from the airport to see the Doctor. I left still in pain but the next morning I got up and 90% of the pain was gone I mean gone. I will now stay on a regular routine of coming weekly for a month or two to keep this in check. 5 others had tried to help and nothing worked till I came here. Thank you very much!
