Samantha W.

“Our family has been going to Dr. Joe for 3+ years. He has always made sure our whole-body health has been a priority. He spends quality time listening to our concerns and making sure we are all well-adjusted. I would recommend him and his practice to anyone who needs great care!”

Nicole C.

“I cannot say enough great things about Dr Joe and the team at Mountain Valley Chiropractic. Dr Joe is an absolute wizard. I have gone to him with issues that are met with compassion, problem solving, and tips to help support my recovery at home. Dr Joe and Raven are so great as a treatment team. Raven’s body work is phenomenal and insightful. I always feel welcome when I walk through the door. Keep up the stellar work!”

Karysa S.

“These guys are the OGs of chiropractors. Dr. Joe is the best, always personable and willing to listen to you about all your problems. Don’t forget the real boss of the operation, Kelly. She is the sweetest and willing to help, just give her a phone call. Raven is one of the best massagers and she is willing to get to those really bad spots. Very good team they are worth your time and your money.”

Keli S.

“Joe is so knowledgeable and loves to share that knowledge. I’ve seen him for many years; 100% the best chiropractor I’ve ever seen.”

Tiffany N.

“We love Mountain Valley chiropractic! My boys and I have been treated with chiropractic and healed from PTSD symptoms, being in sports, and injuries! We have been healed in so many ways! We would refer all our family and friends! Thank you for being like family, truly caring for my family!”

Denny C.

“Dr. Joe and Kelly rock! I tried another top-rated chiro in town and was displeased – felt like a number there and like I was “talked at” more than listened to. Dr. Joe seriously knows the human body and is passionate about healing his patients. Kelly is very pleasant and helpful. Nice walking in and them knowing your name. I was pleasantly surprised to hear Dr. Joe easily greet someone in what I guess was German. They make an effort to understand you and your needs.”

Dominique B.

“Hands down the best Chiropractor. Dr. Heinecke helped me with many years of low back issues and many other alignments along the way. There were times I had difficulties walking into his office (mostly due to yard work aggravating my low back issues) and after one visit walking with ease and felt like I left with a brand-new back. He is beyond knowledgeable and corrects the root of the problem. I highly recommend everyone to come see Dr. Heinecke!”

Melissa A.

“Dr. Joe is the best! He provides a very thorough exam and listens to all your concerns.”

Lori D.

“Dr. Joe is amazing, he really listens to your concerns.”

Chambry G.

“Dr. Joe is always there to answer questions and concerned with my whole-body health. I would recommend him as a chiropractor for all ages.”

Michelle B.

“Great place to come back to focusing on your health and well-being! I’d been out of touch with chiropractic care for years and Dr. Joe has helped me tremendously in reducing pain, inflammation and increased mobility and I’ve only just begun this journey to living my best life. Thank you so much for all you’ve done and will continue to do on future visits.
I can’t say enough about their dedication and care of patients seeking relief. All the added extras in their office from supplements to outsourced massage therapy are just a huge bonus to all of us. Congratulations on your anniversary and thank you so much to you and your entire family for helping as many people in Grand Junction as you have over the years. You’re much appreciated!”

Andy S.

“I have heard horror stories. A friend of mine had to get back surgery because of one, so I was trepidatious. I was assured that Dr. Heinecke does no manual manipulation, so I tried him out 5 years ago, and I’ve been going every 4 weeks ever since (roughly) and that is because he is gentle, and kind. My multi-concerted effort of self-care is my assurance to not go to a medical physician.”

Terry J.

“I just wanted to take a moment to share how thankful we are for Dr. Joe’s incredible care. Before seeing him, my grandson would cry nonstop every time he was in his car seat and struggled with daily constipation. His discomfort was heartbreaking and caused so much anxiety for his parents — they felt trapped, like they couldn’t even leave the house. Other providers would just say, ‘Some babies just don’t like the car seat,’ or ‘He’s just a hard baby, he’ll outgrow it,’ but they knew something more was going on.

My daughter brought him in, and unbelievably, he was better that very same day! They were able to enjoy their road trip to Montana with a happy little traveler the whole way!

Dr. Joe is truly amazing — a lifesaver for our family. Thank you so much for the wonderful difference you make!”

Phebe H.

“Dr. Joe is the best!!! When I had severe back issues, that kept me from being able to work, doctors wanted to do back surgery to ‘see what they could do’ for me…Surgery was not what I wanted to do! Dr. Joe took me in immediately, took some x-rays and proceeded to correct my twisted spine and pelvis. With regular visits, adjustments and a small shoe insert, the last x-rays taken showed a corrected and normal spinal/pelvic alignment! I am so thankful to have found Dr. Joe and for his work…a much better solution than having surgery! I now do maintenance visits and am able to work 40 hours a week, no problem! I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone suffering with back or hip/pelvic issues!!!”

Trinity R.

“Almost 2 years ago I was in major pain and was in bad shape. I heard about them and went for it. From the beginning I started to feel better. Now I am just maintaining my body health and feel great. I highly recommend them and appreciated all they have done.”

Grady S.

How has Chiropractic care improved your life?

“In early March 2020, our son Grady began having problems with his left knee. It was extremely swollen and very painful to walk on. We started seeing our family physician who referred us to an orthopedic doctor. We began routine appointments with a physical therapist. After several visits to both clinics and an MRI of Grady’s knee, we began to realize that the problem might not be with his knee, but with his back. An MRI of his lumber spine showed two herniated discs. The physical therapist reevaluated and created a new plan to focus on his lumbar spine.

On May 5, 2020, Grady began having severe stomach issues. He was experiencing severe stomach pain, nausea and vomiting. It was a weird kind of pain, beginning as soon as he woke up in the morning and lasting for three or four hours. We spent three consecutive days in two different emergency rooms with no answers. We continued with the PT but were beginning to see that the back/knee pain was minor compared to the stomach pain. We did CT scans and five (YES FIVE) MRI’s on every part of his spine, brain and body.

Early mornings were the worst and driving around in the car seemed to soothe him. So, like a toddler in a car seat, I would load my 18-year-old into the car at 4 am and drive around the back roads for four hours. We would put the seat heaters on high for him, he would recline his seat and prop his legs up on the dash. At 6 foot 4 he looked balled up and uncomfortable to me. He would moan and groan in pain, sit up and vomit, then lay down and moan again. For. Four. Hours. EVERY DAY! After about 4 hours, the pain would ease up and he would feel better. We would head home where he would sleep for the rest of the day, completely wiped out from the daily ordeal.

I was giving him food through the night in case it was a blood glucose thing, antacids, acid blocking meds, and high doses of anti-nausea meds — we tried it all! A friend referred us to Dr. Joseph Heinecke at Mountain Valley Chiropractic and on June 17, 2020 we had our first appointment.

Dr. Joe did a complete evaluation of Grady from head to toe. Grady had lost about 70 pounds since March and looked like a skeleton. And on that day, our lives changed! I can’t put into words the miraculous transformation that began to take place! Dr. Joe worked on every part of Grady’s body. He spent a great deal of time focusing on Grady’s abdominal area and his hips. We went home that first night knowing we had finally found the answer!

We searched for months at every doctor’s office and emergency room from Paonia to Grand Junction — we even had testing done for Multiple Sclerosis (at 18 years old, no mother wants to hear this!). Dr. Joe was an answer to our prayers! Grady began gaining weight and the sickness in the morning subsided. Grady’s knee pain and swelling not only went down, it went away completely. His sleep cycles began returning to normal and we found him waking up early in the morning to start his day. The best part? He smiled again!

Such a small thing, but my son had reached a level of pain and depression that was extremely concerning. We worried about suicide on a daily basis and were afraid to leave him alone. Grady is walking straight and tall these days. We still see Dr. Joe on a regular basis. Grady’s condition was extreme and the road to recovery long, but we are so grateful that we found the answers at Mt. Valley Chiro.”

What would you tell a friend or family member who was curious about Chiropractic care?

“Get an appointment today but be sure that you are seeing a reputable doctor of chiropractic. Dr. Joe checked every box for us, and he has compassion and caring that is a rare find. He formed a relationship with Grady quickly and truly cares about the needs of our son. One of the things we love the most is that Dr. Joe has a whole body approach to wellness and believes in using different modalities to achieve healing.”

What has pleased you most in your course of treatment with Mountain Valley Chiropractic?

“Dr. Joe’s bedside manner is one of the things that has pleased us the most. Grady is always ready for his next appointment and truly enjoys visiting with Dr. Joe. We love the personal way that he approaches patient care and the compassion he has for every client that walks through his door.”

Lisa M.

“Doctor Joe is amazing!!

I would never go to another chiropractor!!

He is number 1 in my book!!

Thanks for keeping me mobile Doc!!”

Leslie S.

“We have used chiropractic for so many reasons, it’ll be hard to give just one reason why we love it so much. As a family of 4 we have run the gamut of reasons for seeking chiropractic care. The one that stands out the most however, has to be a non-skeletal issue. My husband had 2 very intense gall bladder attacks. With the help of Dr. Joe, he was able to get the pain under control and did not have to go through surgery to have it removed and only missed one day of work!!! It has been well over a year since that last attack. As a very physically active family, we have used chiropractic successfully for help in healing sore muscles, muscle strains and sprains, joint pain, back pain, neck pain, eye irritations, headaches, and knee tracking issues in a growing and active teen…to name just a few ways it has helped us. With Dr. Joe’s guidance, we have made some nutritional changes that have helped us also.”

Karen A.

“Dr. Joe is a wonderful chiropractor and much more. He is awesome at diagnosing issues within the body which can be corrected with adjustments, diet and natural remedies. His wealth of knowledge has truly improved my wellbeing. My appointments with him last longer than any chiropractor I have ever seen. He is not in a hurry and makes sure he has a complete picture of the specific needs in order to care for his patient. I love that he is available to us here in Grand Junction and that he comes to the house. Thank you for your care, Dr.!”

Virginia D.

What has pleased you most in your course of treatment with Mountain Valley Chiropractic?

“It’s a different approach to chiropractic care. It seems to be less invasive than a traditional visit to a chiropractor. There’s a lot more explaining what is going on in YOUR body. [Dr. Joe] explains in great detail how your body reacts to certain things… but with more detail [including] vitamins, supplements, foods you eat, putting two and two together if you will. I’ve always been a patient of chiropractic care and I shall remain a patient for as long as I live.”

How has Chiropractic care improved your life?

“My youngest daughter complained of neck pain constantly, my older daughter had knee pain! Not really normal for a 7- and 10-year-old! Joe evaluated them and found the cause and treated that – not just a band-aid – a fix. Now they are happier and healthier!”

What would you tell a friend or family member who was curious about Chiropractic care?

Liz M.

What would you tell a friend or family member who was curious about Chiropractic care?

What has pleased you most in your course of treatment with Mountain Valley Chiropractic?

“Dr. Joe is SO thorough. He cares for your whole body – your internal organs, muscles, bone structure, and everything in between. Every adjustment is totally comprehensive – he finds things to fix that I didn’t even know were misaligned. In addition, he’s incredibly knowledgeable, and educates me every step of the way so I fully understand what’s being done and why. My body feels alive, energized, calm, and so relieved after a session with Dr. Joe. He is- by far – the best Chiropractor I’ve ever met, and I fully trust him with my body and health.”

Jeremy F.

“I’ve been dealing with a hiatal hernia for a while, and the discomfort, reflux, and tightness in my chest were really wearing me down. I honestly didn’t expect a chiropractor to help much with it, but after a few adjustments, I was blown away by the relief. Dr Heinecke used a specific technique to help with stomach positioning, and I could actually feel the difference. I’m sleeping better, eating without discomfort, and just feeling more like myself again. If you’re struggling with similar issues, I highly recommend giving Mountain Valley a try!”

Erica C.

“I’ve been going to Dr. Joe for a couple years now – Excellent quality of care! He has always been very professional, takes my care seriously and is just an all-around down to earth good guy. His expertise is far greater than I’ve experienced with other Chiropractors. It’s really nice to have a younger doctor, up to date with best practice, with such a strong work ethic. He has absolutely earned my trust.”

Tim O.

“Have been seeing Dr. Joe for a while now and always get some relief after an adjustment. So grateful he’s here in town!”

LaDawn S.

“Dr. Joe is the best! The absolute best!👍 He has helped me more than any other Chiropractor I’ve ever gone to. And as a retired massage therapist, I’ve gone to a lot of others. He’s so personable, really listens and cares about making you feel better. Thanks Dr. Joe! Love the new place too!”

Kaila C.

“I was recommended to Mountain Valley. So far, my son has had two visits, and I’m extremely impressed with the care given. Just after two visits, I’m seeing a huge change in my kid. Seeing how well my son is doing, I had to schedule a visit for myself as well! I highly recommend this place. Everyone is very kind, and the doctor is extremely knowledgeable and explains everything very well.”

Jason I.

“Dr Joe is very accommodating and knows his stuff. We are a regular and long-term customer.”

Kara R.

“Highly recommend! After only 2 appointments, I already feel like I am on a path to solving a lot of my health issues that I’ve been dealing with for years. Dr. Heinecke listens to you, takes your concerns seriously, and figures out how to cure you, not just cover up symptoms.”

Sarah H.

“I have been to many Chiropractors, and none have been as knowledgeable or as passionate as Dr. Heinecke. Not only does he adjust, but he tells you why and how you have a problem using superior anatomical and biological knowledge. He also provides great recommendations for homeopathic remedies for any issue. I’ve had countless issues between my daughter and myself where Dr. Heinecke took the greatest care to fix the problem rather than just treat the symptoms. Thank you!”

Elizabeth S.

“I look forward to each appointment with Dr. Joe! He is able to relieve pain and improve healing after sport related injuries. He is also very professional and takes time to explain what he is doing and what impact it has on the body. I highly recommend him!”

Damon O.

“This guy, Dr. Joe Heinecke has done wonders for Kari and I! We got in a car wreck (rear ended) back in early October 2016 and received the absolute best care from a great team in Mountain Valley Chiropractic. My back, shoulders and chest were messed up. Kari’s back and neck were pretty much screwed, to say it lightly. Dr. Joe, who is probably the most knowledgeable Chiropractor I have ever met, is also a great businessman and very kind. If you have something going on with you, I promise, promise, promise, you he is your man. His services are worth so much more than what he charges and listen to me when I say this, your body is important. Choose Dr. Joe and Mountain Valley Chiropractic.”
