Dr. Rick is phenomenal! I came in about a month ago with severe lower back pain that was radiating a tingly feeling to my lower legs. I went to another Chiropractor first and she wanted me to get an MRI and even went as far as saying I may need surgery. I came to Newport Wellness for a second opinion and Dr. Rick was very gentle and after only looking at me said my left side was severely out of alignment, but could be healed with adjustments. After that first treatment the weird feeling in my legs went away and has not come back once a month and a half later. I’ve been getting weekly adjustments and would say i’m up to 85% now, feeling much better and well-cared for! I would not go see another chiropractor. Dr. Rick is simply the best!

I’ve been a patient of Dr Rick’s for over 20 years. He has incredible ability to find the places where I need adjusting. He has great skills and I highly recommend him.

Dr. Rick is awesome! So I became a patient of Dr Rick’s a couple years back when some lady decided to rear end my car going 40 mph without braking. Long story short, I had a great deal of discomfort in my shoulders, neck, and back. With that being said, I went to Dr Rick for treatment which helped out tremendously. My shoulders, neck, and back feel great after every visit. I still go to Dr. Rick from time to time for adjustments when needed.

I second the Miracle Worker Comment!!! I was going to have surgery on a hemorrhaged disc in my neck. I didn’t have to go through with the procedure because Dr. Rick helped make my pain manageable. I have had an unbelievable turnaround because of his knowledge and technique. My neck has been injured for about 6 years. I’ve been to 10 different Chiropractors, they all did a good job of cracking my neck and back but none of them poked and prodded, or asked the right questions. They would just get big cracks and pops out of me then sign me up for next week. And by the following week, I sure needed another«cracking». Dr. Stockmaster is more than a chiropractor, he’s not as interested in instant satisfaction and temporary pain relief as much as he is about fixing the problem for good. My neck used to go out 6 – 10 times per year. It has only gone out once in the year that I have been his patient. When it did go out, it didn’t hurt as bad as before and the pain subsided in half the time. If you are tired of hurting and want someone you can trust check out Dr. Rick

Bought a groupon for my wife and me a couple of months ago, for 3 one-hour massages each. With these discounts, you never really know what you’re going to get. 3 massages later, we are both so happy that we met Jan and Dr. Rick. First of all, they are as nice as can be — absolutely no pressure, just a genuine interest in patient wellness. Jan is absolutely one of the best massage therapists that we’ve had the pleasure of meeting. Looking forward to referring our friends!

Dr. Rick is a miracle worker. I started seeing him back in 2010 because I had the worst excruciating backpain from a terrible car accident I had in 2004. I was suffering deep back pain and intense migraines for years to the point I got addicted to pain killers and no other chiropractor could heal me. After seeing Dr. Rick several time, he cured my back and shoulder pain 100%. He knows exactly which joints are out of alignment and carefully adjusts you back to health. I now understand my body and know when I’m out of alignment due to the vigorous sports I do. Jan, the massage therapist is excellent too. She really listens you and can feel the problem areas and will work on it till all your muscles and knots are out. She does have strong hans. Since I’ve been seeing her, my hip flexor pain has minimized 90% and I have been able to work out and increase my sports endurance. The best thing about going to a chiropractor and massage therapist at the same place is that the dr can address exactly what area to work on. I highly recommend Newport Wellness Center. I’ve referred both my parents who had severe pain in various areas, and both are now healed. Even my sister and friends go to him. Dr. Rick and his staff are very personable and extremely nice. You’ll feel right at home. I ONLY recommend Dr. Rick for ANY pain you have. He knows where the root of all pain is coming from. They accept insurance and FSA too!

I have been going to Dr. Rick for years! He is not your usual chiropractor. No gimmicks, no up selling. Just attentive, knowledgeable, and professional adjustments! Dr. Rick is very nice and amazing at what he does! If you have pain, go see him! He takes insurance, too!

Dr. Rick is fantastic! I have been struggling with knee pain for years and with one visit he has already started to help address my issue. He understands my desire to stay athletic and is helping me find the best ways to do so without further injuring myself. He has a very professional demeanor and genuinely wants his patients to get healthy as quickly as possible. I highly recommend Dr. Rick for anyone looking for chiropractic or wellness care.

Dr. Rick Stockmaster and his two massage therapists Jan and Kathleen are awesome! They are very personable and are always there to help. I’ve tried other chiropractors, but no one has been as gentle as he has been. He knows exactly where it hurts, and adjusts your body accordingly. He is a very honest man and always welcomes you with a great smile and hug when you see him. There’s a very nice, comforting ambience when you step into the office. The front staff are always super friendly. There’s never any wait time as log as you come on time. I’ve gotten massages from both Jan and Kathleen. They are amazing! They both have different techniques so it’s good to try them both to see which works for you more. They are very open, friendly people, so you feel very comfortable talking to them about how you’re feeling and how your day went. I always feel so refreshed and relieved of stress whenever I come see either of them.
