I posted a good review in 2018 about Chronic Care Chiropractic when I was undergoing treatment as the experience was good and they were quite professional. I had the electromagnetic therapy, laser therapy as well as stem cell treatment. I figured i need to wait to feel the effects of healing ,especially with the stem cell. Well here i am a couple of years later contemplating knee replacement. It was a very expensive lesson about what does not work. read more

It will be worth every penny my child has crps Basically Nerve damage looking forward to seeing you there. read more

Dr's Spurlock and their staff are teriffic!! As I am a new patient I had to fill out the preliminary paperwork. Jamie sent me my patient packet via email and I was able to get it back before my appointment and literally had zero wait time once I got there. She is also helping me track down my old surgical records so I can get started on my way to a healthier, more pain free way of life. Dr. Spurlock took his time with me in my initial consult to ensure he had all of my history before discussing my options and I look forward to my next appointment. The office is nice and clean and overall comfortable. All in all an enthusiastic Thumbs Up!! Thank you Doc!! read more

Drs. Spurlocks were very professional when I came in to visit them with chronic back and feet pain. The advice and recommendations they gave me following their initial consultation were knowledgable and realistic. Their pricing was realistic. My wife and I took their recommendations and I subscribed to their recommended treatment. Here's the thing: their treatments worked for me. The problem was that the contributing causes to my condition were not helping that treatment. My job is chaotic at best. At the time, I didn't have a stable schedule and I would work night shift or day shift at the whim of my supervision. I would be on my feet, hauling equipment, hiking for miles, or I would be seated for almost 12 hours straight. Please be mindful and take the time to ensure that a difficult job is addressed before you seek treatment to alleviate the pains it is causing you. Their treatments, while helpful, are expensive especially since it's not covered by insurance. While they did indeed help alleviate the pain I was suffering, it did not eliminate it because I was continuing to work under the conditions that amplified my pain. It was counter-productive if you will. I have to write though that without their treatments I would be in a much worse place than I am now. So...please take the time to actually listen to their recommendations. When you consider a treatment of this fashion, and if possible, notify your workplace of your problems so that you can be placed on a limited-duty status so these treatments can be effective in the long-term. Best of luck to all. read more

I went for neuropathy in my feet. I paid $5,000 upfront as I was desperate and believed their lies. After all the treatments there was no change in my pain. I saw the chiropractic one time during these visits. Their business is a scam and they have now changed their business name to Fiona Medical, located at the place and offering the same cure for neuropathy. Avoid them like the plague! Go to a reputable neurologist. These people are not doctors. read more

Just a little heads up. These chiropractors will check for any negative review and then claim your review was meant for a different company. This is their sneaky way of getting your review off yelp. Also, beware on Facebook. All reviews are positive only because if you attempt to leave an honest review, which will most likely be negative, they immediately delete your comment and unfriend and block you: read more

I've had chronic back pain for years and tingly cold feet. The spinal decompression has made a huge difference in my life - and I no longer have issues with my feet. I'm back to gardening and walking. Dr Spurlock truly cares for her patients and always took time to answer any questions I had. Her front office person , Cricket, was always positive and worked with me to adjust appointments to meet my schedule. Yes, it was expensive- but I felt my health- and mobility- was worth it! read more

Dr. Spurlock has a true gift in pain management and care without invasive interventions. As a fellow healthcare professional, I understand the importance of managing pain naturally without medications. A back injury left me with reoccurring spasms and debilitating pain. I knew it was time seek help once the pain affected my quality of life. With just one treatment at Chronic Conditions of SLO my back spasms ceased and I was able to return to normal activities. This was not my first time seeing Dr. Spurlock. I have also been treated for migraines. I was once a sufferer of chronic migraines. Since receiving treatment almost two years ago, I have been migraine free. Thank you Chronic Conditions of SLO for keeping me pain free. read more

I suffered for eight years with peripheral neuropathy and a host of autoimmune disorders before discovering Chronic Conditions of SLO last September. The initial evaluation was the most thorough examination I'd ever received from any other medical professional in the past 8 years, & for the first time since my diagnosis in 2008, I was given hope in a long term recovery. At the time of my initial visit I was unable to walk or even stand on my feet for any length of time without suffering excruciating numbness and pain. My feet felt like balloons inflated to the point of bursting & I could not tolerate socks, shoes, or even the pressure of bedcovers on my feet at night. After only several weeks of treatment I realized one morning that I slept through the night with my feet under the covers! I was ecstatic! And finally on the road to lasting recovery! Drs' Madison & Christine Spurlocks' vast & comprehensive knowledge of Functional Medicine coupled with their state of the art technology offers a holistic approach to wellness that I believe is unsurpassed in their field. I was given a roadmap & specific dietary instructions, and they were always available for questions & concerns. And their professional, competent & courteous staff is above par. I've only been on this journey for four months but have never felt so healthy and vibrant in my entire life. I'm even able to dance again! Thank you Chronic Conditions of SLO for giving me my life back! God bless you! read more

I am a cancer survivor with neuropathy in my feet from chemotherapy. I was in terrible pain. I am now PAIN FREE!! Thank you to Dr Christine Spurlock and her excellent staff, Jamie and Cricket. I received the best care. I tried everything to relieve the pain this is the only thing that worked. I am very grateful to Dr Spurlock. read more

Stay away unless you like being robbed. This chiropractor is a crook who asks for thousands of dollars up front and says you can cancel at any time and get your money back. What they fail to state, other than what's buried in fine print, is that you'll be charged $399 if you cancel at any time. They have obviously purchased some very expensive equipment and that's why they ask you to pay $5,000 up front when you arrive for your $35 consultation. This laser treatment does not work. These chiropractors use scare tactics and prey on desperate people who would try anything to not have to live with the pain of neuropathy. My advice is to try something else. read more

Going from hysteria, being at the point of suicidal thoughts, to joy and elation is a heady and frightening journey, one which I am traveling as I am closing in on this journey's end. Let me begin at the beginning, which started over 15 years ago. I began developing peripheral neuropathy, which started as cold-sensitive legs and feet, progressing from discomfort to severe, extreme and insistent discomfort. When finally diagnosed, I was stimulated to actively research, in hopes of cure or some sort of relief. Disheartened by the lack of optimistic info regarding PN, I resigned myself to a life of GABAPENTIN and TRAMADOL, which was the go-to recommendations of most PN websites, along with "There is no cure!" BOY, WAS I EVER BUMMED! My complaining fell on sympathetic ears - my beautiful partner's. She picked up the gauntlet and aggressively went on the hunt to help me find relief, probably as much for her sake as well as mine. Her efforts, after a time of dead ends and frustration, led her to a forthcoming doctor's presentation concerning PN. It was a couple of weeks away and to be held ten miles from home. She booked the RSVP right away. Thus I came to meet the Dr's Spurlock in September 2018, husband and wife healers, at the presentation. One I approached with skepticism as my efforts to this point had been fruitless. I entered skeptical but with a glimmer of hope. At the end of the presentation, I was interested but found the therapy financially challenged, thus elected to try to find another alternative. That was until one morning in Jan. 2019, when after a hard night's work, I woke up with the neuropathy "OFF THE HOOK". What was once just discomfort was now screaming discomfort! STINGING! HOT! COLD! All consuming, no relief in sight! A visit to my Primary netted me a script of GABAPENTIN and TRAMADOL taken 4xs daily. After a few days of misery, my mind went "SPURLOCKS!" I was in San Rafael at that time preparing a move down to San Luis Obispo area where the Spurlocks' offices were located. Driven by this insidious discomfort, I jumped in my car, pained. I wasn't even sure that I could make the drive, seeking out the therapy of the Spurlocks'. Once checked-in by Dr. Christine Spurlock, a knowledgeable and gracious doctor, I was assisted by Cricket, a most delightful and cheery soul. She was so helpful and upbeat it helped alleviate any apprehension I may have had about the procedure. A few days later, I was assisted by the equally efficient and upbeat Jamie, both of whom are amazing at setting one at ease. At the risk of sounding melodramatic, I may say that this procedure and time with these competent ladies saved my life, at the very least has brought joy back into my life. My THANKS to you all! read more

Madison Spurlock has been giving me regular adjustments for at least 3 years. I have found he and Christine both to be helpful, thoughtful and professional. I have a very frustrating back condition that has yet to be "fixed" but many other practitioners have done WAY less for me than Madison and Christine. I recommend them highly. read more

So last night I read article post on their website about how great treatment is for pain. I wrote a very long comment about my negitive experience, with no results in reducing my pain. I wanted to see if there was a response from their office. The response was, my comment was deleted and apparently I've been blocked from writing further comments. So now I I feel even more determinded to warn potential patients. This treatment does not work on everyone. I spent $2000 for no results. Dr. Initially said pain would be gone with 10 sessions. It wasn't. So then she offered 10 more for $1000. I couldn't spend that mind of $ with no guarantee. Which is what these Dr's need to start doing. Give a $ back guarantee. This clinic needs to be reported to the BBB by others besides me. Taking peoples hard earned $ and not getting results they say will happen. read more

Dr. Spurlock, Associate Doctors and staff are truly the go to professionals that every family needs to have on their health team. If you are not utilizing their expertise you are missing out on the best health opportunity in SLO! read more

Hello, One year ago I was injured, through out the year my back would not get better. I went to my doctor, then to pain management. Pain Management issued me opiates (didn't get the prescription filled). The doctor planned a date and time a couple weeks out to inject me with Steroids into my lower back. The first procedure did NOT work. They scheduled me again 4 weeks later, that time the injection worked, every time I was put to sleep. After the injections I wasn't even 50% better. I went for a 4 week check up at that time the Doctor informed me I'd be coming in for the back injections every 4 month. I responded "No, I'll be the patient that doesn't do that". Months passed and my back was NOT doing good. Within weeks, my Son saw a pamphlet for Dr. Spurlock "Chronic Pain Relief". I called the office and got right in. I met Cricket at the front desk and felt I'm at the right place. Dr. Spurlock explained what had happen to my back as she reviewed my prior X-ray. She was very thorough and made everything very clear on her treatment plan for me. As I went twice a week for 20 visits so many of my prior restrictions were relieved immediately. Most important a lot of my pain was relieved after the first visit, that day I went on a 2 mile beach walk,which I hadn't been able to do. I'm a month out from finishing my treatments, now having fun focusing on strengthening my back muscles which has been wonderful. I do everything I did prior to my injury. I was relieved from back pain without pain meds. I have my freedom back and forever thankful to Doctor Spurlock and Cricket. Blessings,Sally read more

I went in with burning lower back pain that I have been dealing with for 8 years. Dr Spurlock did her initial evaluation, and set me up for a couple x-rays. After the x-rays were back, she asked to have both my wife and I in for a consultation. I thought that is was kind of strange that she wanted my wife there at the time. My wife could not make it to the first arranged time, and instead of just seeing me, they insisted that she be with me. Again, I felt that this was kind of weird, but we came in. The doctor told us that the treatments, (20), would cost about $5000, and would not be covered by my insurance.. I was ready to bolt right there, but Dr. Spurlock then made a promise to my wife that she could fix the problem with the compression in my lower back with a combination of de-compression, laser, and other therapies. It was then, that I realized why they insisted on having the wife present at the consultation. So we signed up for the treatments, and paid the whole amount in advance.... another policy that I thought was suspicious at the time. I did all of the 20 treatments. The technicians at the facility were all very nice, and patient with me. After the first 10 treatments, I felt no relief, but the doctor convinced me to stay with it for the full 20. After the full 20 treatments, I did feel that there was some minor healing, but it didn't last. After less than 6 months later, I am back in the same condition that I started at, and maybe even a bit worse, and of course $5000 poorer. read more

I just called to inquire about the types of insurance accepted. Amy was not helpful at all. I asked her repeatedly if my insurance was accepted. Her answer " we have special expensive equipment here, we do not do regular alignments..." I asked her what insurance was accepted? Amy answered "We accept various types, it depends we have to examine you first which is not covered." Since I currently pay cash for many of my Chiropractic services I tried again. I stated that due to the hundreds of post on Face Book and ads in New Times I was very interested in being seen there. I just would like to know if you take "xyz" insurance? She answered "We have very specific equipment that we use it depends" I informed her that she was not answering plainly what I asked. She finally answered yes for some services. Then she hung up on me. So I never was given an appointment. I did want to see the Chiropractor and specifically tell him how my phone inquiry went. I just found another Chiropractor in the area to see. read more

My sister suffers from constant pain in her feet and legs from diabetic neuropathy. So, I was very excited when I read about Dr. Spurlock's MLS Laser Therapy. I talked my sister into making an appointment for a consultation and she asked me to go with her. Dr. Spurlock seemed very friendly and knowledgeable. Since the treatments were so expensive, we asked what the success rate was in getting rid of the pain. She responded by saying she wouldn't recommend the treatments if she thought they wouldn't work. My sister was tested and evaluated by the doctor and then she immediately brought out the paperwork and signed her up. To make a long story short, my sister drove an hour each way for 10 one-hour long laser treatments that cost her $4,877 and there was NO relief from her pain whatsoever! Dr. Spurlock didn't have an explanation as to why the treatments didn't work, but she did say she could offer her more treatments at a discount which my sister promptly declined. I can't tell you how guilty I feel that my sister spent all that money for nothing! I wish I had never told her about Dr. Spurlock. So. . . this review is a WARNING to anyone that might be thinking of trying the laser treatments. There are NO GUARANTEES!! Be prepared to lose a lot of time and money and get nothing in return! read more

I have chronic leg and foot pain and have had it off and on for ten years. This time, it's been a seven month battle so far. My primary physician and two other doctors have run several tests, i.e., MRI's etc., but all have been inconclusive. After seeing one of their half page ads, I decided to at least talk to the Spurlocks. The Spurlocks diagnosed my problems as sciatica along with possible plantar faciitis. In the initial consultation, they verbally made me feel like my condition could be cured or at the very least give me a lot of relief. OK....here's the catch....the charge was $4700 UP FRONT for 20 treatments! That's a heck of a lot, right??? But I was willing to pay it if it meant I would be out of pain. I really do not have that kind of money to just to toss out!!! At treatment TEN, I told them I was not getting relief and they just kept saying, "with some people, it just takes a little longer than others!" So I stayed with the program to its completion. To their credit, they (the office staff) did keep treating me knowing (in my opinion) that their treatments were never going to work for me! (Please see the biggest complaints below) After 33 treatments, I finally gave up. It simply was NOT WORKING! I was driving 30 miles each way to go and going every day = an extra $120/month. My biggest complaints other than it not working are: 1) You have to pay the entire amount up front (I had to take out a loan which they are only too willing to help you with); 2) the doctors are RARELY the ones that treat you. The office staff are the ones that work all the machines on you - many times the doctors are not even in the office and have already gone home (is this legal??); 3) When I questioned my contract, I found that they had the actual contract part attached to and behind the HIPPA form (I thought what I was was simply signing the HIPPA - my fault); 4) Their back decompression machine broke FOUR times and kept pulling more and more on my back and you're literally bolted in - you CAN'T get out... and they couldn't hear me when I called out for help. Three out of the four times this happened, the doctors were NOT in the office. 5) When I called the Mayo Clinic and got referred to a Laser Manufacturer and explained my situation to them, the man I talked to said the cost was ridiculously high and that I could buy my own laser machine that would probably work just as well (wish I had talked to him first). 6) Their ART treatment (Active Release Treatment) is a joke....it's a small metal thing that kind of looks like a hole punch and basically acts and feels like the same thing they use when they test your knee reflexes and their "Cryo Treatment" is a frozen ice bag. 7) the doctor did "adjust" me twice out of 33 treatments and it wasn't hands on - it's never hands on. On their table, there is a "drop release" where you lay face down and the he pushes a lever and the table drops in the center 2-4 inches, and then you're done! I don't know.....maybe that's protocol but not with any chiropractor I've been to before. There are several more things that are questionable....their bathroom doesn't have a sink in it. It's outside in the hallway but no sink inside the bathroom (odd). Oh, and the incredible wonderful "SCRAMBLER" machine didn't work - at least not for me. Also, I just realized this afterwards, all of their appointments are scheduled so that there is usually no one else waiting in the waiting room with you. On rare occasions, there will be one other person in the waiting room. I honestly believe they don't want their patients comparing notes!!! People are desperate for pain relief and I'm still searching and hoping but please BEWARE and know exactly each and every treatment you're signing up for!!! I know there is better treatment out there. The biggest thing is DO NOT PAY ALL OF IT UP FRONT! Whoever reads this, I wish you well on your journey to being pain free. read more
