My daughter was diagnosed with scoliosis at 12, and her curve quickly progressed to severe. We were told surgery or bracing were our only options, but after extensive research we found non-surgical treatment through Dr. J—and it changed everything. Dr. J is incredibly knowledgeable, compassionate, and relatable, as he also has scoliosis and a daughter with scoliosis. He emphasizes consistency with home exercises and truly celebrates the patient’s hard work. Through the CLEAR program, my daughter’s curve reduced from 70 degrees to 47 degrees. At 20, she is no longer in the surgical range and now only wears her brace 8 hours a day. This journey hasn’t been easy, but we would choose this path again without hesitation. We are beyond grateful—she is truly Destined For Straightness!

I've been with Clear since 2019 and this scoliosis program has significantly reduced my spinal curvature. Years of intensive treatment, at-home exercises, and daily brace wearing allowed me to become outside of surgery range as an adult as I now stand at 47 degrees. I have noticed a visble difference in my posture thanks to Dr. J, his staff, and the clear program!

I've been going to Dr. Hartley for 2 years for scoliosis treatment and it has helped me feel better. He and his staff are caring and knowledgeable and I would recommend them to anyone who has a similar problem .

Since my initial visit years aga for a debilitating neck issue, Dr. Hartley has keep me pain free. After diagnosing my problem and presenting a treatment plan requiring my participation, his maintenance plan has worked beautifully. I am deeply appreciative.

Dr. J and his staff have gone over and beyond with our oldest daughter’s scoliosis care! We appreciate them so much!!! We have to drive several hours to get to the clinic, but it is worth it. Highly, highly recommend if you are on a scoli journey.

I have met Dr. Hartley through my daughter. She was in a serious car accident 15 years prior and never seeked any medical help afterwards. The problems started to creep up slowly....insomnia, neck pain, migraines. All that left her incapacitated and practically bedridden. She seeked help everywhere, but nothing worked. We saw Dr. Hartley advert online and decided to try it. From day one we knew that we found help. After year and a half of treatments by Dr. Hartley she has resumed her dancing career and ski instructor job in California. Now, I am coming to Dr. Hartley myself...driving once a week all the way from Gainesville. He helps me to maintain my balance and posture. And unexpected bonus....I can read when in passenger seat of the car or seating backwards on a train...all without getting dizzy, which was my problem as long as I remember. Dr. Hartley employs wonderful and very knowledgable stuff making visits to his office a very pleasant experience. Thank you Dr. Hartley! Barbara

Our family has been seeing Dr. Hartley for five years, and he’s helped us tremendously—from my herniated discs and reverse curve to my kids’ sports injuries. His staff is kind and supportive, and his care for scoliosis is excellent. Also, I work for a doctors office in Jacksonville and we referr patients to him for scoliosis and they’ve all been very happy. Highly recommend!

Before seeing Dr. J at Hartley Chiropractic, I had almost no quality of life because of my scoliosis. I decided to do a two-week intensive with him, and since then I’ve dealt with little to no pain. My curve has even continued to improve over the year that I’ve been seeing him regularly. Dr. J is extremely knowledgeable, takes the time to explain everything, and genuinely cares about his patients. He has truly changed my life, and I can’t recommend him enough!

This place is LEGIT!! Dr. Hartley's practice offers one of the most comprehensive, thorough yet easy-to-understand evaluation of Scoliosis, I have experienced. His turnkey approach allows the patient to receive a full and complete report with X-rays, a diagnosis, and a definitive treatment plan, all administered at his facility in St. Augustine. He is thorough, kind and accommodating. For parents with children diagnosed with Scoliosis....acting now can be especially helpful in preventing further curvature/progression with the correct treatment and monitoring. A special shout-out to his amazing staff: Chelsea, Collin, Kerri & Jacqueline, who are all upbeat, professional and a very caring and attentive staff! As a consumer, while writing or reading a review, I hope to answer two questions: 1. Would you recommend this person/business/service to a family member or friend? AND 2. Would you return for this service/product/business? The answer is YES, Absolutely! Five stars and two thumbs up!!

Went in last July after finding out there are non-surgical solutions for scoliosis such as “The Clear Method”. After two weeks intensive treatment and bracing my curve was substantially reduced. My massage therapist noted my back looked “totally different than when we started”. The two week treatment is rough, but worth it. More importantly, after nearly a year of bracing, the chronic pain level in my neck and back, which I’ve dealt with my entire life, is almost non-existent. Dr. Hartley, Chelsea, Sophia, and Collin are always helpful and easy to work with. 10/10 recommended.

Dr. Hartley and staff did an amazing job helping to correct my son’s scoliosis. The transformation has been miraculous! His pain is gone along with all the crazy curves in his spine! We are so pleased with the professionalism and kindness of Dr. Hartley and his team.

Had been in worsening pain for about 4 years, and went here to address the root of the problem! 2 months in to my treatment plan and I’m feeling better and more hopeful progressing towards true health than I thought I’d be able to reach without invasive surgeries, this place is professional, kind, and actually listens and addresses patients issues and records and produces tangible results. Let your body heal itself by providing it the care it needs and being conscious!

Dr J and his staff are fantastic. I could barely walk with my sciatic pain when I first went to him 8 weeks ago. I could not work or even sleep in my own bed. I could only get minimal rest in my recliner chair. I was diagnosed with six herniated discs and had two other doctors recommend me for surgery. I highly recommend that anybody with back or sciatic pain visit Dr J. I have been dealing with back pain my entire adult life and I have not felt this good in 20 plus years. He truly has been a Godsend.

I have suffered from severe headaches for years. I hit the Internet to get the phone number of a chiropractor I had been using when I saw this ad about headache relief. I also checked their reviews he can work magic. I discovered that the bend in neck was backwards! After a few weeks of visits, he reversed it! That was a major thing and relieved my headaches! I love these folks as they are genuinely nice people! Thank you very much Dr Hartley and staff! BTW, this happened when I was 11 and in a horrific head-on, high speed car accident. I am now 76.

Dr. Hartley’s office is the best I’ve ever been to. I have struggled for two years with a bad neck curve from a chronic condition which brings a lot of orthostatic pain. The summer before finding him I was going to another chiropractor, a physical therapist and a regular doctor and was still in constant pain even after a year of treatment. A week into my intensive treatment with Dr. Hartley the pain consistently has been minimal to none. And two months into treatment the bulge on my left shoulder from the curve has evened and I experience 90% less pain and fatigue weekly than the previous year. And I’m so thankful I can go back to doing the activities that bring me joy daily. Everyone is very nice at the office as well!

Dr. Hartley found things going on in my body that could cause severe problems. I will be forever grateful to him for getting me the test that I need and helping me feel better.

Really 4.5 stars. Almost always exceptional. Staff is great and usually very easy to get an appointment. Just wish they would file visits with Medicare.

Awesome Dr. J Hartley and his staff are remarkable, I came to him with migraines, trouble sleeping and a few other things, my condition has gotten alot better then before seeing him, , I'd recommend Dr. Hartley to anyone!

When I found Dr Hartley, I could barely walk. After a couple of sessions I felt really good. I continue to visit at least once a month. I couldn't be where I am today without Dr Hartley and his awesome staff.

I have had scoliosis for over 50 years and it has got worse as I have gotten older. Other treatments really didn't do much and I was shrinking (5' 8" to 5'2") Based on x-rays, Dr Hartley developed a plan that specifically addressed my issues. I have grow 1 1/2 inches !! and had improvements in my scoliosis curve. The staff is always supportive and responsive to requests. A group of caring people.
