The kindness I received was incredibly important to me after a traumatic experience, and the care has been top notch. Dr. Jacob is thorough in his examination and even shows you/explains your x-rays to make everything completely transparent. Definitely affirmation of the pain I was experiencing! I have already improved tremendously since my accident and I know I couldn't have done it without the care & guidance of Dr. Hertz. I also recently completed a cleanse available in their office- it's a full microbiome cleanse to remove all toxins from your body. Let me just say, after only 7 days I felt completely rejuvenated; I have more energy, sleep better, and above all, it brought the mindfulness back to my food consumption. With this cleanse you aren't completely depriving yourself; in fact, dinners consist of protein & veggies. But when you're extremely busy it's easy to make the excuse to not cook every meal. Having 7 days of intentional food preparation was a bit of a reality check to myself... so I really appreciated the mindset shift this cleanse provided me as well. Thank you, Dr. Jacob, for all your recommendations!

Dr. Erin O'Connor has saved my dogs quite a few times! She's both a chiropractic genius (and offers…read morelaser treatments that help decrease inflammation) and a dietary genius. Since it's nearly impossible to find a natural vet who actually knows what dogs should eat and what natural supplement to give them, we are always asking her nutritional questions during appts. She is so kind, and her staff is excellent. She stocks both a raw food, and many different kinds of supplements. My dogs are prone to jumping accidents, and on a couple occasions, we left town, and our pet sitting agency did not notice the two dogs were jumping over the pet gate. We came home to limping dogs, and Dr. O'Connor fixed up the dogs within 6-8 appts to where the limp was completely gone. We also go every 6 weeks proactively for our two dogs and I think that saved us from a broken leg. I'm pretty much inclined to say that my dogs are 1000% healthier and more limber due to the support of this amazing provider. Even my aging 14 year old Bichon with a collapsed trachea loves coming to see Dr. Erin, and still jumps up and down and does stairs.

Jim of Valley Acupuncture is a miracle worker!…read more Since the fall of 2013 I had been dealing with right shoulder and arm pain. The ortho doctor I saw several times for this problem first injected cortisone into the shoulder which, when I awoke the next day, caused the worst pain I had experienced since the onset of my problem. Subsequent visits with the ortho guy and a MRI outlined my only option to be surgery even though the ortho guy was uncertain exactly what would be found during surgery. Being that I had arthroscopic surgery on the left should several years ago with this ortho doctor and have never felt 100% healed, I opted to try an alternative method of treatment. Jim and Valley Acupuncture came recommended to me by my masseuse so I thought...why not? I saw Jim each week for several weeks and then bi-weekly for another few weeks from March to May of 2014. I am happy to say that while I am not completely and totally pain free, I am as close to it as I believe will be possible given my activities and my age (late 50's). Prior to seeing Jim, I woke many times during the night with tingling and a heaviness that caused severe pain in my right arm. Since being treated by Jim, my nights are free of pain and free of the heavy feeling that I experienced prior to my visit to Valley Acupuncture. Jim is professional and personable and truly cares about his patients and their well being. Valley Acupuncture will be my first stop when I need to see a health care professional for any and all arm, shoulder and back issues. I expect Jim is equally qualified to treat other maladies and will use him in the future as the valuable resource that he is.

I see Dr. Quinn for my chronic lower back pain. I had a spinal fusion at L4, L5, and S1 in 2021 and…read moream now dealing with FBSS. I've done practically everything imaginable for the pain--none of which has helped. I heard about NUCCA and thought it was worth a try. I keep going back which should tell you something. The support staff is delightful! They are helpful, cheery, and just adorable in every way possible. As the practice's first point-of-contact, no improvements need to be made. They are on top of communication and always make sure you know your next appointment and what you may expect from your visit. Dr. Quinn is highly knowledgeable, empathetic, sympathetic, funny, articulate, gentle, and caring. This is one of maybe three doctors I've ever seen that I have no doubt why they do what they do. He exudes genuine care and compassion. If you're a chronic pain sufferer, you know how rare this quality is in a provider. Before you make an appointment, learn about NUCCA. Educating yourself is as important as advocating for yourself! The upper cervical manipulation may seem like it's not ideal for your injury or ailment, but remember everything is connected. I never would have expected that adjusting my Atlas bone would positively affect my lower back--and a few other issues! While the adjustments aren't a cure, and also not wholly effective, I do get relief from them regularly. Don't go into your appointment expecting a miracle. Set your expectations reasonably. I don't expect I will ever be 100% pain-free, so I hope for the best relief Dr. Quinn can provide me, and he hasn't failed me. Be aware that this practice may be out-of-network for your insurance provider and plan accordingly. The out-of-pocket cost isn't bad, relatively speaking. Overall, my experience with 1st Place Chiropractic is favorable and I finally have hope that my pain will be managed. I highly recommend them!

I'm a nurse, and have had chronic migraines since I was 12 year old and occipital neuralgia for the…read morepast 4 years. My migraines would dictate my life and control what I could and could not do. Some days I would be running at 50% being able to go to work but not do my best. Others I was running on fumes and not able to do anything but stay in bed, in a dark room, with ice. When my occipital neuralgia was flared with a migraine, it felt like an icepick was being stabbed into the side of my head repeatedly. Graphic, I know, but it is the horrible truth. My migraines were affecting my job, my graduate school classes, and my social life. I had more bad days than good ones. I've exhausted all the different pharmacological (medication) treatments in treating and preventing migraines with little luck. I've tried a boat load of different devices, nerve stimulators, essential oils, different pillows, you name it, I tried it if it promised headache and migraine relief. I was referred by my Neurologist to see Dr Kleinfelter, who she had heard of through another patient, and she said to give it a shot. As a nurse I was VERY skeptical of NUCCA treatment. I had the attitude of, "How is making sure my spine is aligned going to cure something I've had for 19 years of my life?" I gave it a shot because nothing else seemed to work, worse case scenario, I could at least say I gave it a shot. My consultation showed that I was misaligned, the X-rays confirmed it. A week later I received my first alignment. After my alignment, I felt fine, didn't notice a difference. Left the office feeling like nothing changed and that I probably wasted money. That same night, I had the worst migraine I had in a LONG time (and that's saying something). Everything I did made my head feel like it was going to explode. After a few days of having a horrible migraine, I woke up and felt well rested, and energized. I have not woke up feeling well rested in years! I always felt tired no matter how much or how little I slept. Fast forward three months, and here we are. My migraines have dramatically decreased, my occipital neuralgia is almost nonexistent. NUCCA has changed my life. I know when I'm out of alignment now, things just feel off, and if I do not correct it, headaches start occurring more and my nerve pain ramps up. I have a quality of life back. I'm better rested, in less pain, and only using Botox and Ajovy to control my migraines. A big change considering I used to take up to 8 different medications a day to try and keep them under control, with little relief being provided. I went from a skeptical nonbeliever to someone who would recommend this to anyone that is experiencing pain, chronic fatigue, and just a sense of feeling off. The worse that can happen is you can go in for a consultation to find out you're not exhibiting symptoms of a upper cervical misalignment. On the other hand, you could be told that you are, get treated, and change your health and overall wellbeing! Thank you to Dr Kleinfelter, Dr Leigh, and Dr Gill. These three wonderful doctors and Christine have made things so much better for me, and I wish I had known about NUCCA treatment earlier!

When I have had acute instances of back and neck pain, Dr. Dan's treatments have always helped me recover significantly faster than when I don't treat with him (due to time or money, depending on the time in my life). Although, to be fair to her review, my pain treatments in the past have not been due to traumatic injury - more like forgetting that I can't do at 43 what I could at 20. Or 30 for that matter. Or....35. I digress. My only "criticism" of Dr Dan's office is that his hours are difficult to me to schedule to. HOWEVER, when I communicate well with him, he tries incredibly hard to accommodate me. The long and short of it is that When I have had pain that "just won't go away", Dr. Dan can release that pain within 1-2 visits. Thanks Dr. Dan!

Dr Dan assessed him, asked him questions and did adjustment spent some time in area of discomfort. Dr Dan explained in terms my son understood and advised us what to look for in case was something else! Well my son walked out with the confidence to go to school knowing Dr Dan adjusted him and eased his mind! Earlier this evening my son said out of blue I think Dr Dan fixed the issue because I'm not feeling the pain no more! So about 8pm I followed up with my son to see how he felt and he said "Dr Dan got it" then we chanted DR DAN IS THE MAN a couple times. He's good with adults and kids, talks to him and not just me. I'm glad when my son doesn't feel well Dr Dan is who he asks to see!!! My son has seen Dr Dan since he was 3 days old! Best parenting decision by far!!!
