Let me start this post by saying that I am generally skeptical in nature, and given all the…read morespeculation about chiropractic care, doubly so about it. However, I'd tried it twice before. I went once when I was 20, and my mother recommended I go see her chiropractor for some pain I was having. Now, I was skeptical at that time too, but I was living under her roof at the time, so I did as she said. And, to my surprise, I felt better after seeing him. Fast forward to my early 30s, and I'm no longer living under mom's roof; however, I started experiencing the same sort of pain for which I had previously seen mom's chiropractor. So, having seen success in the past, I decided to go see another chiropractor. This time, unfortunately, I chose randomly from a google search of Denver chiropractor's. Poor decision on my part. After seeing the second chiropractor three times, I was unhealed and felt that he was just guessing as to what he should be doing given my complaints. After that useless experience, I became highly skeptical of chiropractic care. However, when my knees starting giving me pain, a massage-therapist friend of mine recommended that I go see Dr. Kennedy, and I tried a chiropractor for the third time in my life.
Dr. Kennedy has changed by perspective on chiropractic care. Dr. Kennedy takes time to try to understand his clients' needs. My first visit with him lasted well over an hour, and he performed a number of diagnostic tests to try to determine the cause of my ailments. It was only once he understood the problem(s), that he began to do any manipulations on me. I've now visited Dr. Kennedy three times, and the knee pain is completely gone (I even went skiing this weekend with no sign of pain whatsoever). Moreover, he continues to research what might be causing my other issues. Every time I've visited him, Dr. Kennedy has given me the impression that he continues to think about his patients after they leave his office. He's vested in their wellness, and wants to do everything he can to make them feel better.
Unlike the last chiropractor I visited (who seemed unbothered by the fact that I was seeing no results), Dr. Kennedy has a real sense of duty in helping those who visit him. He takes time to understand his patient's ailments and needs, and takes time to explain what he is doing to aid them. He explains the science behind chiropractic care as he goes along, and takes a holistic approach to healing his patients, incorporating both eastern and western modalities into his practice. He has also suggested that I start taking some supplements, but has never pushed them on me. In fact, quite the opposite, he offered to give me a bottle of something he thought would really help me.
If you've considered chiropractic care in the past but have been too much of a skeptic to try it, I highly recommend Dr. Kennedy, as his approach and results are likely to alleviate many of your concerns. I know he alleviated mine. Dr. Kennedy is sincere, honest, caring, and perhaps most importantly good at what he does.
