If you know you're ready to change how you care for and nurture your physical self and you feel like you need people in your corner - knowledgeable, supportive motivators and expert caretakers, I highly, highly recommend Midtown. They are truly a rare gem in their fields.  While my nerdy Teacher Self is inspired to write a straight-up essay about how Brenda and Dr. Kyle have already changed how I feel in my body in such a short period of time, I'll try to keep this concise (ish lol). Evidence:  I wanted to start with experiential evidence - the differences I'm feeling in my body, what I'm able to do for slightly longer than I have traditionally, etc. because that's what matters most to me - less pain, more ability, so that I can live my life fully and stop avoiding activities simply because I don't think my body can handle it.  1. Doing housework (dishes, laundry, dusting!, etc.), for even a few minutes, is really hard on my body. Just standing while organizing or washing dishes for less than 60 seconds can be very painful. I always need to take a lot of breaks and even then, they level of pain is still high when I return. I've lived like this for years - certainly over a decade. In the last couple weeks, I noticed that I'm able to last a few minutes longer now before the pain becomes great enough for me to need to rest my body. It kind of freaked me out the first time I noticed lol, because I'm so used to feeling it and needing to take very frequent breaks. Of course, the pain isn't completely gone, but Rome wasn't built in a day, etc. etc. etc.  2. This is a big one. I'm on my feet all day at work, and I don't notice the body pain until I'm in my car at the end of the day. The pain is so acute that I often am not able to run quick errands like stopping at Aldi (shoutout!) or picking medications because walking and standing for very short amounts of time are highly painful. My body just needs to sit or collapse in on itself. Sometimes I walk out of a store without getting anything because my body's like "nope, we hurt, please let us rest."  I'm back at work and finding that the acute pain after work is so much more manageable that I AM able to run errands without feeling like I'm pushing my body too hard. This impacts my daily life immensely and feels really good to have this long-standing barrier beginning to break down. 3. Last, the very first difference I noticed was about two or three weeks into working with them. When standing up after sitting for long periods of time, my lower back is often sore and requires me to slowly move and wait until the pain dissipates. I've been hopping out of my car at the end of a long day, again, weirded out by the fact that my lower back either isn't in pain at all or is really low level and dissipates quickly without me doing anything. The Type of Providers They Are: a bulleted list of why Brenda and Dr. Kyle both earned my deep respect and gratefulness: - They are patient-centered and they genuinely give a shit about improving your physical wellness. They recognize me as a whole human - how emotions, stress, etc. impact my body, my motivation, etc. They actively listen, ask questions, and their treatment is in response to my answers. (For real - Brenda asked so many questions I didn't have an answer to that it forced me to pay more attention to my body/sensations!). They continuously check in with me so that they always have updated data they're using to adjust treatments as needed. - They encourage me to voice my needs and always respect my boundaries. I particularly appreciate the teacher moves Dr. Kyle implements - he knows when he can push me just beyond a limit I don't think I can manage (usually he's right and I can and I'll admit it's a little annoying when I'm wrong lol). He also respects when I'm like "I don't think I can do that many." He'll negotiate and compromise without making me feel like I'm not working hard enough or am slacking/lazy/don't care enough.  - They both demonstrate such strong Mastery of their Crafts when working with me. This is something I learned first with how my body feels after treatments with them, as well as the depth of their knowledge and their ability to explain what they're doing (or what/why I'm feeling the discomfort/pain) in ways I can understand. - Last, honestly, they are both just Excellent Humans. Truly. As a teacher, my job is more than a job or career - it's service for me. It's how I serve and give back to the world.  Brenda and Dr. Kyle are the same. They don't just provide a service - they're invested and dedicated to supporting and guiding you toward your physical wellness goals.  Basically, they're helping me change my life and how I live in really fundamental ways, and I'm deeply grateful to have found such rare, passionate providers.

I've seen Dr Kyle several times over the past month. Initially for sciatic pain that came up suddenly just before an international flight.

He listens and is thoughtful in his approach. 10/10 would recommend The office is clean and street parking is easy.

I've suffered from migraines and neck/shoulder pain for years. Everyone told me to try acupuncture,…read moreand I kept putting it off. I finally decided to try it - and I'm so glad I did. Michael Jamlang fixed me. He was very thorough, asking about my history, aches/pains, etc. I went in one day with a severe headache (I had tried all my usual medications, and nothing worked). 1-hour later, I walked out headache-free. I was very skeptical and had no expectations - but wow, acupuncture works. And Michael is the best. I highly recommend. It's so relaxing and calming. If you're on the fence - just do it!

Even better? They take insurance and take the time to find out what is covered and how much, and share it all with you so there are no surprises. The best part? The staff couldn't be nicer! From Alex at the front desk to Allison providing PT, Michael with acupuncture, and Staci Ahrens for chiropractic, I know I'm in very good hands. Everyone is so kind, I genuinely enjoy coming here! I highly recommend if you're considering any of the services Aligned offers that you check out this location and see how they can help you.

I cannot recommend them enough for acupuncture and chiro/PT.

More than 5 stars and Life changing…read more I honestly can't say enough about how much these Doctors have helped me. By the time I finally made an appointment with Pro-Holistic, I was feeling desperate. As a personal chef for more than 10 years, I spent lots of time on my feet and developed painful lower back pain. In addition, the burning nerve pain in my neck was back again and I was fearing another cervical disc replacement and fusion. My digestion was totally off and I had chronic fatigue. Basically, no energy to do my job much less put in extra time for my grandkids. I figured I'd give chiropractics another try. I'd been to a chiropractor 15 years ago and had an unremarkable experience. This one seemed different. Right from the start I found Drs Rae and Vargas to be knowledgeable, and confident that they could help me. They really LISTENED. Their plan for my treatment was 3 days a week and with my busy schedule, I honestly didn't think I could fit it in. It turned out to be an appointment I actually looked forward to. Blood tests revealed I had some nutritional points that needed balancing. In addition to that I had food sensitivities that were contributing to how I was feeling overall. Following their recommendations and 5 months later, I feel like a new person. Their holistic approach includes skilled chiropractic techniques, acupuncture, and functional nutrition directives that changed my life. They are dedicated problem solvers who really care about how you're feeling. They even knew how to work with the existing cervical hardware from my fusion. I was really nervous about that initially but quickly came to trust them completely. They are experienced and skilled. On top of all that, they are just wonderful people. The support staff are kind and helpful and always accommodating with my crazy schedule. My only regret is not calling them sooner!

I had several disk herniations in my neck, tears in my rotator cuff, elbows and shoulder muscles, from a few accidents over a short period of time. We used the TRT machine/softwave and chiropractic work, and they have rehabilitated my arm almost 100%. I believe it will be there shortly. I feel very lucky, especially during the pandemic to have found them. My surgeon and D. O. were perfectly fine making me drag this out. I felt like I was getting no help and physical therapy was not helping as much as it did in the past, all with very reputable companies. Especially when my doctors all told me not to seek chiropractic care. I'm glad I did. I highly recommend Dr Lopez and Dr John!! And Jasmine for running a tight ship and always being a friendly face at the front desk. I believe the shock wave therapy saved me from having surgery. I can't say it would be the same for anyone, but it definitely worked for me. I'm glad I tried that before I did surgery! I hope this helps someone searching for help. My deep gratitude goes to the Universal Wellness team.

Every time I've come in, I leave far better than when I entered. Dr. McTague has been the best. (I'm sure other providers here provide excellent care as well.) It's almost hilarious that my response to "how did this happen" is "me simply existing" & he just gets it. But I'm happy to report that I'm back to a maintenance level of care & more often than not, pain-free. If you're prone to sleeping weird & waking up unable to turn your neck, come here. It also must be said, their massage therapists are absolute sorcerers. Ken, JJ, & everyone do amazing work. I've had to sit in my car for a few minutes after to come back to earth after a session. It's ugly-cry worthy because you feel so much better. The front desk? Accommodating & friendly. If you find yourself aching & sore, this is the place to visit.

It's absurd to penalize a patient for a sudden medical emergency. Apparently, they would have preferred I showed up mid-illness and thrown up on the doctor instead of staying home. They clearly value a one-time $45 fee over long-term patient loyalty. They've officially lost a customer for good. I'll be taking my business elsewhere and suggest others do the same if they want a provider that actually treats people like human beings
