Patient Testimonials

“Once I found Marieke several years ago, I never looked back. She has helped with the diagnosis and healing of my back, shoulder, neck and now my knee, following a replacement surgery. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient and such a positive influence on my recovery. I highly recommend her.” —Liz Jesse

“Marieke’s knowledge and quality of care helped relieve my cervical dystonia symptoms. I can enjoy life with my family and friends. I always know when I have a flare-up that she will be able to find a solution.” —Susan Brown

“Since my late 20s, I’ve had numerous issues, enough to have pain all the time. I’ve dealt with degenerative neck disease, arthritis, Plantar fasciitis, back and hip problems and joint replacements. Marieke turned things around for me. She showed me that through manual manipulation, dry needling and exercise, I could live almost pain free. She has truly changed my life.” —Debbie Denstorff

“Marieke truly loves what she does and is excellent in knowing how to make you feel better.” —Baton Rouge Patient
