Reviews of Ohio Sport & Spine (Chiropractor)

Sam Mudrick

Dr. Herman help relieve the chronic pain in my left shoulder that had been flaring up periodically for years. Almost 10 months later and I have not had an issue since. Extremely knowledgable yet down to earth while explaining his approach and method of being thorough and customer focused. This experience was unlike any other chiropractor I had visited previously as you spend close to an hour one-on-one with the doctor.

Absolutely amazing Dr. As an athlete it is critical to find a doctor that can keep you healthy and ward off any injuries from training. He is a one stop shop and any treatment you need you can find it here. This is especially important as time is of the essence and only having to go see one doctor in one place is awesome! From dry needling to chiro to active release therapy to cupping...he does it all and if one method doesn't work he will try another until he finds one that works for your aliment. He is the best! No where else I would go.

A referral to Dr. Herman was made after I asked my friends on Facebook to recommend a chiropractor to help take care of a slight back issue after a recent fall. A friend eagerly suggested Dr. Herman and remarked that she knew I'd really like him. When I went in for my initial visit, Dr. Herman read the pre-filled out information and asked additional questions surrounding my fall. He then read the section of the form that is essentially "What else is wrong?" where I listed a knee and shoulder problem. I knew the back tweak was an easy fix for a qualified chiropractor, but the other issues had been around with multiple specialists not being able to identify the actual problem and therefore not suggest a plan of action. During my second visit, after ensuring my back tweak was being taken care of, we spoke at length about my knee issue. After describing the situation to him, he said "Sounds like it's a popliteus issue." A what? I'd never heard of that before. We discussed it and I was encouraged. I then went home and did a fair amount of study on the popliteus and sure enough, the typical problems surrounding it were exactly my symptoms. The odd thing is, I had been to a highly regarded knee specialist in my area and EVERY HAD SURGERY, with no results. Dr. Herman had casually and correctly identified the problem. I've had this popliteus problem for about 5 years. It's still being treated as it's a stubborn mule, but I feel that Dr. Herman is on the right track. Oh yeah, about being a chiropractor. He's not, hes a SPINE specialist, and much more. He understands movement, athletics, downward stream cause and effect, and on and on. Make an appointment with Dr. Herman.

Ok, so true story. I picked Dr. Herman because his office was very close to my house. Why? Because every Chiropractor in the world wants you to come back three times a week for a thousand years. I was pleasantly surprised when he said, if he wasn't getting results in 5 or 6 appointments he would recommend other treatments. Cynical . . . but surprised. But guess what? We did get results in just a few visits. I was on pace for headaches 4 days of 7 and the headaches were def con 5, for 13 hours or more. It had been that way for months. Now I'm down to about 1 headache once every 10 days and they typically are only about def con 2. You get the idea. Don't worry about understanding the relationship between the bone cracking Chiropractic and the Active Release Therapy (or whatever he calls it) It is just magic and he is a magician!

I met Dr. Herman at a Run for God meeting. He was friendly and easy to approach. When my left knee continued to hurt after 3 weeks I decided to ask Dr. Herman for some help. I have done a series of appointments with Dr. Herman. Each week feeling better and able to start to walk with less pain. My legs are stronger with the exercises that were demonstrated for me to do. Dr. Herman explained while he was working on my leg and knee what muscles were being affected and again what I need to continue to do to strengthen them. His office is very easy to locate. It is a comfortable, clean and friendly atmosphere. Dr. Herman experiences as a runner, cyclist, Christian and doctor certainly helps with understanding what a person or athlete might need. I would certainly recommend Dr. Herman.

ART and dry needling were effective to help some persistent back/glut pain - would definitely recommend

Kent Loose

I had chronic pain in my Achilles for 18 months. Prior to Dr. Herman I went to an orthopedic surgeon for treatment. The ortho doctor advised me to wear a boot. After 6 months I was only marginally better. I later met Dr. Herman who worked on both of my injured Achilles for 30 minutes during each visit. I experienced noticeable improvement in both Achilles after a couple weeks. After about a dozen visits the swelling and hump in my Achilles was nearly gone. Today the hump is completely gone on both Achilles. I still visit Dr. Herman once a month for maintenance. He stills works on each Achilles for 30 minutes, which I think makes a big difference. Dr. Herman takes the appropriate time working on each Achilles which, I think, sets him apart from other Specialists. I highly recommend Dr. Herman.

Personalized, professional care! As a distance runner I've had my share of injuries and various therapies. Dr Herman did the most thorough evaluation I've ever had. He not only treated my injury with several modalities but went above and beyond. Teaching me exercises and stretches as preventive measures

Moses Lee

Significantly reduced my chronic back/leg pain of 5 years. Dr. Herman is extremely knowledgeable and communicative as he goes through his diagnosis and treatment.

Dr. Herman is fantastic! I would not have made it through graduate school without him. He is a great Chiropractor, and more. I appreciate his thoroughness, holistic approach, and caring manner. Dr. Herman is an invaluable asset to the community.

David Herman really helped to get my range of motion back where it should be. He also gave me a great tip to keep me pain free during long road trips. I hate that he is now in OH, but maybe one day I'll be able to stop in for some relief!

Susan Matthews

My 13 yr. old daughter saw Dr. Herman when she suffered a back injury during a rock climbing competition. His combination of chiropractic care and physical therapy exercises had her back on the rock wall in no time. Dr. Herman was extremely professional and great with kids.

Peter DeMott

I've had chronic back pain and right should pain for many years. Attempts at relief through therapeutic massage helped, but didn't last very long. Working with Dr. Herman and his knowledge of join function was almost amazing. Each session brought lasting results and I feel that I have my life back.

Dr. Herman is one of the kindest people I know. He takes time with you, answers all questions and doesn't rush the appointment. He is very thorough in his assessments and treatment protocols. I have a complex, chronic case that most Chiropractors have not been able to effectively address. Dr. Herman was able to eventually help me become pain-free and release very spastic muscles and connective tissues with his advanced training in ART techniques. He is patient with the healing process and consistent in his treatment methods from week to week. Better yet, he doesn't require unnecessary appointments and maintains affordable and reasonable rates. I highly recommend his kind expertise. He is one-of-kind and his positive outlook and patience coupled with his skilled training in both chiropractic and ART methods are the most effective method around. You won't be sorry you came to see Dr. Herman.

I received service from Dr. Herman on several different occasions. First for some tightness/pain I was experiencing in my shoulders. After a few visits using ART and chiropractic adjustments, Dr. Herman was able to virtually eliminate the issues I was experiencing and I have not experienced any recurring issues with this over 2 years later. On a second series of visits I was experiencing a combination of knee and lower back pain. Dr. Herman quickly found the source of my pain and was able to adjust and give me some exercises that would serve to keep the issues from returning. In addition to treating me as a patient, Dr. Herman was a friend outside of the clinic and showed genuine care and concern about my overall well being physically and spiritually. To anyone thinking about a chiropractor that has more than just chiropractic training (ART, sports medicine, etc.) he comes highly recommended by everyone I know that has gone to him for treatment.

If you have ever felt each time you visit your doctor and/or chiropractor and wondered why you might be asked to come back for another appointment or are sent to a specialist, it's because of your insurance. Get a physical or other exam and you ask about something extra (like a mole) and you are asked to make another appointment - insurance! Dr. Herman is what healthcare should be - all of you issues are addressed at the same time. Sore knee, pain the neck and a hitch in your shoulder - one visit (Dr. Herman is able to do this because he does not take insurance). When is the last time you talked to your doctor and he or she actually listened? When is the last time you were with your doctor for an hour or more? When is the last time you paid your bill and a week or two (or even months) later you get another bill - not the case with Dr. Herman. And here's the best part - he is good, very good. I am now in my 60's and in probably in the best shape than I have been in for a very long time. I use chiropractic care as my primary medical care because it's my body and I know what it needs. Dr. Herman knows how to take what you tell him (remember, he is listening) and fix it. If you are new to chiropractic care, Dr. Herman is at the top of his game (and getting better). His treatments are very specialized. And remember what I said about insurance - one price covered it all. And as a final comment, if you have been told you need surgery (shoulder, neck, knee, foot, back, hand or any of those other moving parts), give Dr. Herman a chance first (bring your x-rays or scans). If what you have is out of his ability to treat, he will tell you - not lead you along. But if he can fix it, it will be a much better investment of your time and money. And if you're wondering if I am getting anything for saying all of this - you bet it! I am getting a chance to be cared for by a great doctor - that's all I need.

In my very first Crossfit Competition I had a pretty gnarly wrist injury. I went over to Dave and not only did he tape my wrist to support me through the competition he FIXED it so well I was able to beat a personal record! He's been fixing me and giving me advice ever since. Passionate about his work and just an overall great human being!

Dr. Herman has helped me tremendously with a shoulder problem. He is very knowledgeable in sports medicine and sport related injuries. He works great with athletes and takes a personal interest in his patients. He works hard to keep patients moving and active. He takes a personal interest in his patients and their families.

I used Dr. Herman for many years in North Carolina. He was a great doctor always taking time to listen to what you had to say. He helped me with my knees, back and neck. I miss him dearly and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you Dr. Herman for all you have done for me.

Katie Ewald

I went to see Dr. Herman recently about severe back pain. After just one visit I felt relief. I continued to go back and each time my back pain decreased. Dr. Herman took time with me, explaining everything he was doing. He showed me exercises to do at home by actually doing them with me. I left feeling like someone understood my pain and took me seriously. Today, my back is significantly better and I thank Dr. Herman for taking the time to care.

Jeremy Yoemans

My wife and I have seen Dr. Herman on several occasions and only have good things to say about his practice and him as a person. He has helped us stay healthy to race and also help us heal at times. Highly recommend!!!!

Cole Wuebben

Dr Herman spends the entire hour office visit to work your problem areas via many different techniques. He tries his best to limit your number of visits and teaches you the skills to avoid future visits.

Laurie Westheimer

I was referred to Dr. Herman by a friend after I was in a car accident. I had whiplash. Not only did the treatments recommended by Dr. Herman heal that injury quickly, he also was able to heal a long-standing recurrent tennis elbow. Dr. Herman takes his time with each patient and will only treat for as long as he believes in necessary to get you back to feeling normal and stable again. I have been treated by other chiropractic centers before and his one-on-one approach and unique treatment approach tailored to my needs is why I will refer his practice to anyone I meet.

Kayla Ferrendelli

I went to see Dr Herman after I hurt my back and I can't say enough about him and his lovely wife! They are the absolute best! If you are looking for fantastic Dr in the Dayton area you need to see Dr. Herman!

Dr. Herman has helped me with carpal tunnel pain I have been experiencing for over 8 years. Since going to him, I have not had any symptoms.

Beth Schubert

Dr. Herman is truly an excellent practitioner and person who takes the time listen to you and can quickly identify target areas on your body to relief the pain. After just 2 visits, my hip and lower back pain have greatly diminished, my flexibility has improved and muscle tightness has decreased. He is truly passionate about what he does, and is committed to working with individuals to make them feel better in the shortest amount of time possible.

Tina-Marie Ulery

While doing a simple workout routine I had pulled something in my back. I was immobile for almost 2 weeks before finally deciding to seek professional help. It was the first time I had ever sought help from a chiropractor and I must admit I was a bit timid and unsure. Dr. Herman made me feel at ease and put all my fears to rest. His vast knowledge on sports injuries and body mechanics was very comforting. He diagnosed my injury and began an intensive therapy program which got me moving almost immediately. I learned that with most back injuries it is usually an issue stemming from another (weakened) area on our body. Dr. Herman identified the root cause of my injury and not only was attentive to that issue but also gave me simple and effective stretching and strengthening exercises to perform at home that sped up the healing process. It's been well over a year since my therapy sessions with Dr. Herman and I'm happy to report that injury is no longer an issue!

Samantha Jablinski

Dr. Herman's unique approach has helped me tremendously. His attention to each individual client is unparalleled to any other chiropractor I've seen, and I've certainly visited many. I am doing so much better that I am rethinking getting shoulder surgery I originally scheduled thanks to Dr. Hermans' skills at pain allieviation. I have already recommended him to numerous friends and will continue to do so! He is truly amazing!

Kayleigh Pratt

I have suffered from severe lower back pain for years. After just three visits to Tri Chiropractic I was feeling better AND after just five visits my lower back pain was gone. Dr. Herman takes an individualized approach where he really listens and assesses before he even thinks about starting therapy. He is unlike any other chiropractor I have ever been treated by.

Valerie Wheeler

I went to Dr. Herman with extreme lower back pain that continued down my leg. Dr. Herman was able to pinpoint the problem instantaneously. With a method of muscle manipulation, dry needling, and chiropractic techniques, my pain is night and day so much better. After my first visit, I went from barely being able to stand for several minutes at a time to walking with greater comfort. After my third visit, I'm almost back to my old self, playing tennis again three times a week and maintaining a normal lifestyle. I highly recommend him!!
