Dr. Allison and Dr. Vinny are the best thing that could ever happen to me, my body and my wellness. I recommend them 1000%.
I had suffered from plantar fasciitis my entire life, jumping from Dr. to Dr., chiropractors, podiatrists, PT...I tried all the gadgets, massages, tricks, everything. Pain would only decrease but no one could really explain to me what I was doing wrong, the root cause of my pain, and how to get rid of the pain entirely.
Unfortunately, I had an accident playing volleyball and tore one of my ankle ligaments. Dr. Allison worked with me in the months leading up to surgery, helping me get ready and ensuring my other foot, hip and back were ready to take on all the load they were about to get, especially because of my plantar fasciitis history. If it hadn't been for them, I am sure my recovery period would've been worse. After my surgery, unfortunately, Dr. Allison had an accident, same ankle, around the same time, which is when I started having sessions with Dr. Vinny, a very passionate wonderful human being who will also listen to you and look for the root cause from the inside. Now, a few weeks later, Dr. Allison came back to practice and kept taking care of and working on my ankle. If that's not true commitment and actually caring about her patients, I don't know what is! 1.5 years after surgery, I'm happy to say I am fully back to playing volleyball, working out 6 days a week, running Spartan races and doing crossfit. I will forever be grateful to Dr. Allison and Dr. Vinny; in so many different ways, they healed my body and my soul. They went through this whole process with me, supporting me not only physically and with my rehab but also mentally, ensuring I understood the importance of patience and healing properly before "getting back to it".
One of the biggest reasons why you should come to BFS is because they look at you holistically, they give you full attention and they truly listen to you, they understand who you are and what you truly need to live a better life. They will not only treat the "one spot" that hurts; they will look at your body as a whole and tackle the pain from the root, ensuring you see results from day 1.
Now, this is not accomplished only by what they do, it is very important that you follow up and do your part, with your exercises at home and consistency.
I could write an entire book about why you SHOULD stop wasting your money at other places and invest it here, at BFS. Finding them is honestly the best thing that could have happened to me. And the biggest plus...I won 2 awesome friends, both of them amazing, extremely knowledgeable human beings.

Dr. Allison is an engaging, fun, but serious practitioner. Her focus on my breathing and what I would call "micromovements" have resulted in relief from back and knee pain. But, more importantly, it's sustainable. I now have better body awareness and know what rehab to do if anything flares up.

I’m a 61 year old woman that started seeing Dr Allison due to knee pain as well as heel and foot and lower back pain. She listens and is easy to talk to. She pushes me to do more than what I thought possible while being mindful of pain and limitations. After a few months with her, I can now go up and down stairs. At the gym I can do squats, step ups, etc with no pain.  I can also take a walk with no heel pain.

I recommend Dr. Vinny to all my patients dealing with any type of gut health issues. As a pelvic floor physical therapist, I know when our bodies are not optimally working and when to refer to a specialist. Dr. Vinny is definitely a specialist in the functional medicine world; helping to create custom plans for each individual to fix their needs.

I saw Dr. Vinny to assist with my irregularities in my menstrual cycle. He looked through all my labs, ordered multiple tests, took weekly phone calls and a million texts to assist with the best course of care to improve my health. He explained the best ways to eat and helped me to create some lifestyle changes. I was not only able to lose weight from his help and improve my symptoms, but my husband has even followed through with his advice! Now we eat healthier and function better together. Currently I am pregnant and despite some of the 1st trimester changes, cravings and aversions, I am now back on track with the advice he gave me!

I have been working with Dr. Vinny for five months now. He has educated me so much about my gut health and how to navigate the various ups and downs I have encountered in this journey. Highly recommend. Very easy to talk with and responds quickly when questions pop up.

Not your typical chiro or PT. They go beyond the ordinary to find the root cause of your issue and address you as individual. We are so fortunate to have them inside GameChanger to refer our members.

Dr. Allison is awesome!  I had a nagging shoulder injury for almost a year.  The kind that would send a jolt of pain through me when I raised my arm and it was interfering with my workouts and daily activities. After a couple of months with BFS I'm now pain free and back at it.  Couldn't be happier with the results!

Went to see Dr Allison for what I thought were hip and heel problems.  She quickly focused on my lower back, introduced a series of exercises, along with some acupuncture, and worked through my issues!  Heel was better very quickly and hip has been great for months. Addressing the problem at the root cause and putting the steps in place to sustain!  Highly recommend!!

I'm a roller derby athlete and I felt like I wasn't able to optimize my movements in a stable and strong way. I worked with Dr Allison not in response to an injury but to be proactive about my body functionality to potentially prevent injury. It's amazing how much I've felt my body change from working with her. She measured my range of motion and then assigned specific breathing and exercises that have made a huge difference in how I hold myself. She gave me objective measures all along the journey to help me know that changes were happening, and didn't recommend we work together continually without a specific goal like I've experience with other chiropractors. I feel like if I hadn't invested in the work I've done with her I would definitely pay on the back end when my body ultimately got injured or had more long standing functionality issues.

If you’re thinking about meeting either one of these two, please do yourself a giant favor and go for it! Not only are Vinny and Allison incredibly passionate and gifted practitioners, they are also genuine, fun, and just generally delightful to work with. They go above-and-beyond as a matter of course. A few examples of the uncommonly awesome care and success of working with these two:

I was lucky enough to work with both Allison and Vinny—Allison for chiropractic concerns and Vinny for functional medicine support…

•Allison not only healed my shoulder issues, but also gave involved feedback and support to prevent injury going forward (including life changing education on proper footwear!)
•Through working with Vinny, I was able to break a number of super frustrating and intractable habits (overuse of artificial sweeteners and diet soda being the most daunting) as well as transform my relationship to my nutrition (adding in foods I had never even tried before, which are now a joyful part of my day to day), optimizing my vitamins/supplements, etc
•Vinny and Allison collaborate, so I really felt like I was getting a holistic view of my healthcare
•Both Vinny and Allison are super generous with their time, replying thoughtfully and comprehensively to all questions I often lobbed at them via email
•As a visual learner, I found the videos Allison provided (or took of me doing the exercise!) soo helpful and invaluable. Such a great idea to offer and really improved my ability to stick with my program.
•In perhaps the most kind and above-and-beyond example, my mom encountered a scary incident with anesthesia in her leg resultant to a doctor giving her an injection of the wrong numbing meds. I called Allison and Vinny after hours on a random evening and they stayed on the phone, helping us sort out what could be happening and reassuring my mom. They truly are this wonderful!

All to say, I can’t recommend these two highly enough. Wish I could give 10 stars!
