This commitment to a compassionate environment ensures that even those with chronic pain or fear of aggressive manipulation feel supported and cared for.
Expertise in Sports Medicine and Chronic Recovery
The clinic is highly regarded for its integration of sports medicine principles into chiropractic care, particularly for addressing old injuries and chronic conditions. Practitioners like Dr. Ryan and Dr. Harper-Heir are noted for their deep knowledge, often introducing patients to new stretches and therapeutic exercises that accelerate recovery. The assessment process is described as extensive and diagnostic, ensuring that each treatment plan is unique and directly addresses the root cause of the pain. This expert approach has helped long-term patients achieve results they previously thought impossible.
Comprehensive Massage Therapy Services
Beyond spinal adjustments, the center offers specialized massage therapy services that complement chiropractic care.

Fantastic experience: Michael, Heather, Emma and the team are wonderful, no back crackers here - gentle effective and powerful adjustments - MIchael spends time using techniques to deliver a very satisfying result much more effective than the typical chiropractor - I was shocked how easily i adjusted without the normal violent techniques - the family has been going for years - great experience every time we visit. If he can manipulate me a 6ft 4 ex rugby player, my fussy 81 year old mom and my wife and everyones happy...I say run don't walk for your next adjustment at Mountainview.
Fantastic experience: Dr Seth is so caring and always takes the time to address all my needs. The front staff is so helpful and friendly too!
Fantastic experience: Absolutely fantastic staff, cannot emphasize enough how much I appreciate them all, especially Heather, Seth and Brock. They truly go above and beyond, making your wellbeing their top priority.
Fantastic experience: I’ve had the honour of knowing Amanda for over five years, and throughout that time, her care, professionalism, and generosity have never wavered. She has consistently gone above and beyond to ensure I feel supported and valued. Amanda has also shown incredible kindness by contributing to my nonprofit organization through thoughtful donations—support that has been instrumental in helping us build a strong foundation. I am deeply grateful for her presence in both my personal and professional life and wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking someone who truly cares.
Fantastic experience: Grateful that Dr. Ryan has joined this great practice. Love that he is full of the latest ways to tackle my old chronic injuries. Really helpful that Dr. Ryan makes an effort with his availability just like this whole clinic. His suggested stretches and exercises are new to me and helpful, showing his background in sports medicine. Fun to have such a nice east coaster on the west coast!
Thank you so much! We are lucky to have him at our clinic for sure!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Seth is knowledgeable, caring and in my opinion, one of the best Chiros in town. Always listens, evaluates and treats me without me feeling rushed to get out.
Thanks Dan!
Fantastic experience: Dr. Joel Ryan assessment is very thorough, caring and attentive to my injuries. Like the fact he’s not a quick in and out practice and will take the time to treat you, explain his treatment and give recommendation of exercise to follow through with for faster recovery.
Thank you Don
Fantastic experience: I just went for my first visit and my gosh Dr. Mattern was amazing! I was so nervous and she just knows how to talk and work one minute you’re worried and the next you’re excited for the next session! Just in my first visit she relieved so much that I wasn’t expecting. Very thorough and asked a lot of questions about my history! Feeling like a well lit glow stick thanks to Dr Mattern!!
Thank you Lily!
Fantastic experience: Very thankful for Dr. Joel Ryan. He spent a considerable amount of time with me my first appointment making sure he got all the diagnostics done and then tailoring me a unique treatment plan based on my needs. He was friendly and super knowledgeable. Would recommend him to anyone in the market for a Chiro with experience!!!!
Thank you Ashley!
Fantastic experience: Dr stockmall is the best chiropractor
Thanks Rick!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been seeing Brock for massage since my vehicle accident where I was rear ended. Cant recommend him enough! I have worked with many massage therapists in town and he has been the best in helping with my pain. I had a 24 hour migraine, I went to see Brock and what ever he did was magic! If your looking for someone who understands the body, effective technique, feel so much more relaxed after, than book with Brock, you won’t be disappointed!!
Thank you Siya!

Fantastic experience: I love this team. My initial appoint was like 3 hours - they reallllllly do care. I can't say enough good things about the team here.

Fantastic experience: Very professional, kind & gentle chiropractors.
Fantastic experience: I will admit that I was really nervous about going to a chiropractor initially. In my mind the experience was bound to be an aggressive and uncomfortable one. However Dr. Seth and the entire team at Mountainview Chiropractic totally proved me wrong in the best possible way. They were compassionate to my concerns, Dr. Seth makes me feel safe throughout the entire process, I am very comfortable while getting my adjustments and feel incredible relief. I thought I'd just have to live with the pain I was feeling but now I know that doesn't have to be my reality. I'm so thankful for Dr. Seth and that I gave Mountainview Chiropractic a chance. Thank you for so vastly improving my quality of life!

Fantastic experience: Wonderful staff, excellent chiropractic care!
Positive experience: Seriously committed and professional services in Chiropractic and massage therapy. They take the time to actually investigate and treat the injuries, rather than simply crackle some joints and send you off in under 3 minutes.
Fantastic experience: My wife has been seeing Dr. Stochmal for several years, so when my shoulder "froze" one day and I could barely move my arm, she called Mountainview. They got me in the same day, just before closing and Dr. Stochmal worked on my neck, back and shoulder for what seemed like a very long time. He was great - make me feel relaxed, reassured me about what was wrong and explained his treatment as he proceeded. Felt about 1000 times better when I left. The experience could not have been better!
Fantastic experience: A fantastic experience! Am feeling better than I did 20 years ago!
