Before going to Kappes, I lived in NYC and used a great Chiropractor up there. When I moved down here and was looking for a good Chiropractor, I did some research and found that Kappes had good reviews and he took my insurance... win/win, right? Some positives: 1. He is a nice guy. I wouldn't mind drinking a beer with him and watching a football game. 2. The receptionist (who I believe is his daughter?) is very nice and friendly. 3. Location is convenient 4. They have physical therapy on site as well, which seems like a good idea to do both for people who need both in once place. 5. Clearly, he has been in business for a long time so he is doing something right for enough people to return and keep him in business. Sadly... I'm just not going to be one of those people. I know that Chiropractors are slightly different from medical doctors--and that what they do is as much of an art as a science. I went to him for 6 visits. And I can say without a doubt that whatever HIS process is.... it was the most drawn out process EVER--and I feel like 90% of the time I spent in his office was wasted and useless. After the second visit, I asked if he could manually adjust my neck and hip because they were especially painful, (which is what I was used to in NYC) and because... HEY I'M PAYING YOU and he actually just came out and said "No, that's not how I do things" (i.e. he doesn't manually adjust patients anymore) In fact, the whole time I was there for 6 visits, I never once saw him manually adjust anyone at all. Only the Pro-Adjusting machine (and vibrating pads, a rolling table and a weird ultrasound wand). I never once felt in any of the appointments like there was any benefit attained from doing any of these things... When I brought the question of why he only uses the Proadjuster instead of manual adjustment he said, "Well, a manual adjustment is nothing more than an educated guess." I pointed to his degree on the wall and said, "Well.... Yes... it is an educated guess.... and that's what YOU are educated for." I'm not saying the ProAdjuster doesn't work on anyone... but it certainly didn't work on me. I could barely feel anything happening. In fact, it was so useless to me that I then decided to try a different Chiropractor after my 5th appointment. read more
