I see Dr. Quinn for my chronic lower back pain. I had a spinal fusion at L4, L5, and S1 in 2021 and am 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! read more

I'm a nurse, and have had chronic migraines since I was 12 year old and occipital neuralgia for the past 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! read more

Love adjustments from first place chiropractic!! They have been an amazing addition to my health and wellness journey and I'm thankful for them! Their staff is so friendly and welcoming and they've slowly become part of my family!! Much thanks and gratitude for meeting them! read more

1st place chiropractic is the place to go if you want quality care. Dr. Gill made me feel so welcomed and listened to. She really took the time to hear out my needs and give a customized care experience. If you need a top notch chiropractic experience, look no further! read more

I had been to several different chiropractors before learning about NUCCA. NUCCA chiropractors take X-rays and develop a customized adjustment for each person. Looking back, I wish I had never had my neck - or anyone in my family's necks - cracked/popped. NUCCA is much more gentle and precise. Although 1st Place Chiropractic isn't the first NUCCA office we have been to, Dr Kleinfelter is one of the best with wiggly, pediatric patients. She can quickly check leg length and get the adjustment done, (if needed). Dr Kleinfelter cares about her clients, listens to their concerns, and does her best to help them achieve optimal health results. She knows a lot about other methods of chiropractic care and can help me understand the difference. She was also willing to look at X-rays taken at other practitioners' offices to help me understand what's happening in my children's necks. read more

I was referred to Dr. Orsini when I made my first appointment. He has a great professional manner that made me comfortable divulging my ailments [as I've developed a lot of them recently that I thought was due to stress]. Dr. Orsini is not just a doctor that is there to just fix you up. He has extensive knowledge with treatment options and supplemental tips for patients to keep in alignment. I believe that he is genuinely interested in helping me and my body be the best it can possibly be. He was quick to come up with a solution, take X-rays, and get me in alignment and stay there. I've come back regularly to make sure I'm holding and he has been more than helpful in answering all of my questions that come up. In short, Dr. Orsini has wowed me with his knowledge and enthusiasm with alternative health and chiropractic. My pain, dizziness, and sleeping problems have improved ten fold since coming here. I've never met Dr. K, but I'm super impressed with the young talent she hired here. I'll keep coming back and referring people for sure! read more

so glad i finally found a place that understood exactly what I was talking about when I described my symptoms. finally found a place that said I can help you instead of, "that sounds interesting let me refer you to another specialist who might be able to help you". read more

I've been coming here for many years. I sleep better and when I don't, I know I need an appointment for an adjustment. I like the promptness and the professionalism as well as the very friendly staff. I know I'll be taken care of from whoever I see. I never would have thought that the bulging disks in my neck could stay the same with no pain for this long. Glad I had the foresight to use chiropractic to maintain my overall health. read more

1st Place Chiropractic is the first place I go to keep my health in check! The super friendly and accommodating staff truly care about me and my family's wellness. I first started coming for help with a gastrointestinal disease. Now, with the help of chiropractic care I no longer experience symptoms, but continue to frequent for neck and back pain! read more

1st Place Chiropractic keeps my family well! Highly recommend their friendly to anyone to keep healthy. Great staff!

So gentle, I love it! 1st Place does an upper cervical technique called NUCCA, meaning there's no twisting, cracking, or popping. I've had enough traumatic injuries, & have osteoporosis, so I don't want someone jerking my spine around. This is nothing like that! The adjustment is extremely precise, down to a percentage of a degree, and holds longer. My left leg is usually 2 inches shorter than my right because of a deteriorating hip joint,and I wear lifts in my shoe to make up the difference. When I get adjusted, getting the nerves working allows my muscles to relax enough to drop my leg 3/4 of an inch! My blood pressure also evened out, my sinuses got better, my sinus migraines went away, and my facial acne cleared. I lost weight without trying because the nerves working better got my digestive system working better. Dr. Kleinfelter seriously changed my life for the better! I'll be her patient forever :) read more

Love the results I have benefitted from seeing 1st place chiropractic. I have seen a traditional chiro for many years.

With NUCCA whih is what 1st place chiropractic I never feel the need to adjust my neck. So glad I was referred here. Even my 3 year old daughter sees Drs. At 1st place and she loves it we have not battled many illnesses since seeing them. Sweet office especially Debbie! Love both docs very kid friendly has toys to play. read more

I have been seeing Dr. K since Oct. 2011. I am amazed at the difference between NUCCA and traditional chiropractics. The technique is so gentle and effective and the results have been amazing. So glad I have had the chance to experience this. read more

I truly believe that almost everyone needs NUCCA and the benefit of a healthy spine. Eventually you are adjusted out of the practice only to return for an occasional check or following an injury. I guarantee you will receive the highest level of care here and become far more healthy than you have ever been. read more
