Fantastic experience: There is no better chiropractor. I highly recommend seeing Michael! One of the nicest, most knowledgeable, and helpful treatment professionals I've ever seen. In almost 10 years of dealing with chronic back pain, Michael Mighton has been so kind and helpful in learning about and managing my symptoms. A direct reason for my continued recovery.
Fantastic experience: Dr.Carol was very experience and explained very patiently and treated well. I recommend her for chiro problems
Fantastic experience: Had a great experience with Justine! She’s very thorough and takes her time with assessments and follow ups. I felt better after 1 session! She also uses a combination of soft tissue and adjustments which was really pain relieving. I’d highly recommend coming here for treatment :) Edit 2025: I've come back more to see Dr. Justine and Mike, and they've both been excellent! I continue to recommend them if you need someone to help you with your health and well-being! Some of the best chiropractors I've ever worked with :)
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mike was great and helped me with my problem; if you are a powerlifter and need an adjustment, I highly suggest Dr. Mike.
Fantastic experience: Justine and Mike are the best!
Fantastic experience: Micheal is the best chiropractor indeed. :)
Fantastic experience: My lower back has locked up badly three times now, but just a day after Dr. Michael worked on it, it felt completely healed!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Justine was very attentive, I could tell she really cares about my wellbeing which is very refreshing :)
Fantastic experience: It was an amazing experience to have met Dr. Mike for my Chiropractic appointments/treatments. My back pain is now gone. All my 3 appointments were worth it and he is very kind and understanding when it comes to the problems I complain regarding my back. My husband and I are very thankful that we found Dr. Mike and Dr. Justine here in Richmond, no need to go somewhere further and look for such amazing doctors to help us feel better. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: The RMT experience with Judy was amazing. She took time to understand my needs before practicing the massage and check out my feelings during the session. I feel so much better on my shoulder and lower back after the massage.
Fantastic experience: I love Judy! She has the strength and experienced to treat my discomfort. The best RMT I've ever met!
Fantastic experience: Love the effort that Judy Hu makes to accommodate and help us. She's the only one that I've found that have enough strength through out the entire day and sessions
Fantastic experience: Came here to see Judy for RMT. She helped with my TMJ issue from clenching and muscle from my neck up. I felt so much lighter and less tense after the session. I wish I had a 2hr appointment instead! She was very professional and the room was very clean. I also saw Michael for chiro because of the tour I’ve gotten from Judy. He is strong, and knows his stuff. First time ever been adjusted for my dowers hump with the technique he does and I need to go back for sure! Happy overall coming here. Also, lots of parking in the front of the place.
Fantastic experience: Mike and Justine are both great. He’s super knowledgeable and knows what he’s doing. Very thorough and he is always improving/learning.
Fantastic experience: Justine is amazing. I had serious lower back pain during my pregnancy, and Justine made a world of a difference.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mike is the best - if you need a chiropractor that can actually do something for you Dr. Mike is your man. He is able to treat patients of all sizes. If you are bigger sized Dr. Mike has the muscle to accomplish that feat.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mighton is fantastic. He took the time to thoroughly address all of my concerns. Would definitely recommend Dr. Mighton as your chiropractor.
Fantastic experience: My family has seen both Dr. Nakazawa and Dr. Mighton. They provide practical and effective solutions to mitigate pain. They are client focused and have a passion for their profession. Easy 5 stars!
Fantastic experience: Everyone at the clinic is smiling and welcoming. Mike is friendly and very knowledgeable. He spends time to understand the root cause and his treatments are always efficient. I highly recommend the clinic!
Fantastic experience: Justin was amazing and I'm so happy to have her treatment! I recommended her to my husband and he was so happy too.
Fantastic experience: Dr Justine is the best chiropractor! So welcoming and understanding and she knows what to do and how to do it with patience.
Fantastic experience: Best Chiropractor in Richmond! After seeing many chiropractors in Richmond, Dr. Mighton stuck out as the most hospitable, personable and knowledgeable chiropractor. When I injured my lumbar and neck, he would put me at ease each session by explaining what was happening and what his treatment would be each session. We set tangible goals each session such as reducing pain or increasing flexibility. His athletic background compliments his treatments as he understands what movements or injuries occur within sports and is able to tailor his treatments for each athlete.
Fantastic experience: Mike is absolutely awesome!!! My hip was in a lot of pain and he made it all better!!!! I highly recommend Mike, he really cares about people!!!
Fantastic experience: Dr Mike is very knowledgeable and definitely helps to get my body to its pre injury state.
Fantastic experience: Had my first appointment with Justine Nakazawa and I am so happy with the time and service that she gave me. She was so thorough and didn’t rush me even though it had been 2 hours! My back needs more than one session to get in a good place but I can still feel a difference in my pain (minor) nonetheless a difference!
Fantastic experience: Michael is amazing, he takes his time to explain what’s wrong with you. I walked in feeling like garbage, I left feeling like a new man. You’re doing yourself a favour by coming here to get treatment, highly recommend!! It’s a welcoming and fun environment for young and old! Will 10000% be back for the amazing and friendly service, I’ve already booked again!
Fantastic experience: My husband has been seeing Dr. Mike Mighton for a long time, and I finally had the pleasure to see Dr. Justine Nakazawa for a couple issues I’d been having. I felt exceptionally better after being worked on! Their professionalism, expertise, and consideration is unmatched. We will continue to see both of them for any issues that may arise in the future.
Fantastic experience: Me and my wife have been going here for about a year and feel Mike and Justine really take a personal interest in each patient. They are very knowledgeable, generous, friendly and really invested into taking care of the wellbeing of each patient. I’ve had chronic upper and lower back pain from my work as an Electrician in construction but he fixed the majority of my muscular issues in just the first visit. If you want a chiropractor that will put you first, friendly and does good work, this is the first place to go.
Fantastic experience: Big thank you to Justine! Very knowledgeable, personable, and genuine. First time visit, and I feel like a new person after just one session. My back pain was progressively getting worse to a point where I had to take some time off work. But after my morning visit, I'm good as new and off to work this afternoon :)
Fantastic experience: I went to numerous professionals to get help before visiting this place. This place was the first where Mike the Chiropractor was super knowledgeable and got right down to the heart of the issue. He also wasn't interested in just taking my money frequently as he would spend extra time after sessions to teach me about how I could help myself going forward so I could wean off of seeing him. He referred me to Mike the kinesiologist who works there and I did 8 fantastic sessions with him. I recommend everyone should see a Chiro/Kinesiologist for a few sessions early enough before the injuries start. Unfortunately I went after an injury, but better late than never. They showed me stuff I can do to improve my posture and bodily integrity so that my body is robust and can handle manual labour without getting injured/back problems/etc.
Fantastic experience: In 25 years, not ONCE did I feel the amount of pain I felt here the first time I came. Mike and Justine are terrible people who find pleasure in causing you immense amounts of pain. At the end of the pain and torture came bliss. Years of terrible sleep posture and head pain gone in one session. Jokes aside, if you have any form of back pain come here and get broken in. Mike is incredibly knowledgeable and will answer any question you have! 10/5 stars!
Fantastic experience: Always great service by Mike and Justine. Been coming for a few appointments and seeing improvements in areas like my neck. Everyone here is really friendly, genuine, and personable. It's a comfortable space to be, and I've also learned so many tips on how to take care of myself to prevent further issues. I definitely recommend booking an appointment at Synthesis Integrated .
Fantastic experience: Shoutout to Dr. Mike Mighton and Justine who did very good taking care of their clients and shared every aspect of their knowledge and experience
Fantastic experience: All the people who work at this place are very professional and nice. If you have any sport injury or want to enhance your athletic performance, i highly recommended you to check this place out.
Fantastic experience: Dr Michael is the best! I love getting adjustments with him. You can tell he really has a huge passion for the work he does. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Awesome chiropractor. Dr Mighton helped me with a chronic shoulder problem. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mighton is a very knowledgeable chiropractor. He will educate you and help you function to the best of your ability while providing life changing adjustments. Personalized care to get you better, explanation of the root cause of your issue. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: Prior to my first treatment with Dr. Michael George Mighton, I was skeptical about Chiropractors. However within minutes of the session my mind was completely changed. He demonstrated knowledge and skills well beyond my expectations and I have never felt this ready for athletic performance. I recommend him to a broad spectrum of needs from competitive athletes to my grandmother.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mike is not only knowledgeable but cares for his patients, he will go above and beyond to address your problems, definitely not just a "crack pop and leave" kind of chiropractor. He integrates the weight room instead of shunning it, not only will you feel better but he will get you stronger to prevent the pain from returning.
Fantastic experience: I have and will continue to receive RMT and chiropractic therapy from this clinic. Of the 5 clinics I have attended, none have displayed the extensive attention to my specific problems that Mike (Chiropractor), and Wayne (RMT) have done and continue to do. Unlike others, full assessments were given and problems were addressed from the ground up with the addition of take-home rehab exercises to address the problems moving forward. Not only do they help fix your problems, but they empower you with the knowledge to mitigate them moving forward.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mighton is very professional and really makes you feel like he wants to take the time to get to the bottom of what brought you to him in the first place.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Mike is great. he is very knowledgable. He is well verse if you need a tune up from your day to day activities or if you are an athlete training for an event. I've been seeing him for quite some time and I highly recommend him to anyone who needs a good tune up or looking to be readjusted for optimal performance.
Fantastic experience: Excellent service. Personable, answers my questions. Dr. Mighton is able to guide me as to what the issue is and how to manage it.
Fantastic experience: The staff here are very welcoming! Dr. Mighton is knowledgeable and uses a variety of skills/techniques to help me with various injury’s from lifting. It’s nice to have a clinic that understands the mind of a lifter, the staff will never tell you to stop lifting here they just work to make it possible!
Fantastic experience: Best Chiropractor / RMT / Kinesiology services in Richmond
Fantastic experience: Mike is great, super knowledgeable and kept me informed while he was fixing my shoulder
