Dr. Koplen is the best. I had chronic pain for many years and he helped me in a few sessions. He's very easy to work with, gentle and knowledgeable. It is my honor to recommend him. read more

Best chiropractor ever! I can move my body in ways I've not been able to in a long time. Pain has gone down and muscles are no longer so tense. Do yourself a favor and see him! read more

I have been recommending him to everyone I come across. He is FANTASTIC, passionate, and extremely knowledgeable about his work. Very personable, and efficient. He corrected a pain in my back I'd been failing to ignore for a couple years. I feel like a new person, and 6-feet taller. I couldn't be more grateful. read more

Seen him for 25 years and is without a doubt the best chiropractor I've ever been to or interacted with. He's helped me though so many injuries and spinal problems. Tell it like it is. No bs approach. Haven't found anyone with as good a technique as him. My wife and I visit here often. He will also be straight with you if he can't help you. Most people say a good chiro is like 1 in 10 ratio. He seems more like 1 in 1000+ to me. read more

Dr Koplen is amazing. Seriously. My range of motion before my appointment was abysmal, so I was desperate to be seen, but after meeting Dr Koplen, I am confident I've found my new chiropractor! As a new patient, he listened to my concerns, asked relevant questions about my history and explained exactly what he was going to do before he started. I felt completely comfortable with him before he even began adjusting me. He competently diagnosed my issues, again explained what he was going to do before he adjusted me and then expertly adjusted my neck, upper back and lower back. I was giddy afterwards. I literally couldn't stop smiling and thanking him. My boyfriend has been going to him for years and has referred many people to him. I called my boyfriend afterwards and thanked him for making me get an appointment! The office staff is pleasant to work with, the location is convenient and there is plenty of parking right next to the office. They're also great about dealing with your insurance company to see what's covered for you. So nice! I would enthusiastically recommend him, if you're even thinking about getting chiropractic care! read more

Dr. Koplen is the best chiropractor I have ever been adjusted by. His adjustments are very specific to what he feels in your body and they are super effective. I have been to some chiropractors that just do the same moves every time you come in, almost like a "fingers crossed" approach, in the hopes that they will just happen to release the stuck area. But Dr. Koplen is very skilled in gently palpating to find the root cause, and listening carefully to what you report about how your neck or back is feeling. Through ongoing treatment, he has unstuck my left SI joint which was stuck for many years before I found him. He has also completely changed the way the right side of my neck and shoulder feel. They were like rocks when I first came in. I'm a hairstylist and my work takes a big toll on my body. He keeps me well tuned up and he's a great guy to boot! Humble, yet confident. Gentle demeanor, good sense of humor, and the strength and precision to release your stuck parts. read more

Michael is a healer. I came to him on a recommendation and he literally changed my life. I'd been having shocking pains in my leg and been referred around by the medical community to neurologists, MRIs, etc. When they decided it wasn't a brain tumor they just shrugged their shoulders and gave up. I went to Michael and I was 90% healed after a single session. All the pain went away and as he worked on me over the next couple of months, corrected back problems that dated back to middle school years of bad posture. I've been to other chiropractors, but none have provided the exacting level of professional care that Michael gives. Some chiros are soft, touchy-feely and use lots of gadgets, with mediocre results. This approach seems much closer to "day spa" massage as a pleasure-seeking experience, rather than a healing therapeutic experience. Michael's approach is simple, straightforward, adjustment to neck, back and hips. No gimmicks. Just bold chiropractic care that works miracles. read more

Dr.Koplen came highly recommended by a close friend. I have suffered from lower back pain for 15 years without ever giving chiropractic care a chance. I am 35 years old and have been living with chronic discomfort for most of my adult life. I've been seeing Dr. Koplen for over a month now with incredible results.Not only am I living without the chronic pain but there have been other "openings" that have occurred simultaneously with the realignment of my spine. In short, this has been an incredibly worthwhile healing endeavor. I am a much happier person than I was just a few weeks ago. Thank you Dr. Koplen. read more

Been seeing him for 15 years , he's the best ,, long live Michael Koplen Hes the best at neck issues as well as everyting else So softly spoken and gentle read more

I've gone to Dr Koplen 3 times over the last 2 years and have come away every time feeling better. I'm even more impressed by Dr Koplen because he has been the Chiropractor of choice for my wife for the last 4 years, and she is very particular about Doctors. She requires somebody that listens to her, and ultimately gets results. I guess that is what we all want :) In addition to my wife and I's success, Dr Koplen has been treating my young son who is showing early signs of a spinal condition and to date the results have been positive. Sincerely, Eric read more

Just got my first adjustments today. WOW. The consultation was straight-forward, no x-rays needed. He found the issues very efficiently and made four key adjustments and I felt like a new person. I could feel my energy come back into balance and left feeling giddy. Went to Dr. McColumn in the past and I am much happier with Dr. Koplen's diagnosis, treatment, personality and price. Dr. McColumn wanted me to spend thousands of dollars to do what Dr. Koplen could do for a few hundred. Enough said! read more

Michael Koplen, DC - Chiropractors Near Me - Capitola, California

Dr. Koplen is nothing short of top-notch. After receiving care from several chiropractors throughout the east coast and midwest, generally feeling disappointed with short-lived or minimal gains, I had the great fortune to receive treatment from Dr. Koplen. I felt as if I had spent my life in the minors, and finally made it to the big leagues. I had simply accepted certain chronic pains as permanent fixtures in my body, believing they were simply unfixable. But Dr. koplen relieved more tension and released more energy than I could ever imagine. On top of his tremendous abilities, he's such a pleasant person that you'll be leaving not only standing straighter and 2" taller, but with a big bright smile on your face as well. read more

I have been going to Michael since I was a kid. He has been a life saver multiple times. When I moved away for several years I tried four different chiropractors but NO ONE was able to adjust me like he does. I'm so glad I moved back! I HIGHLY recommend him! read more

I had been unable to turn my neck/head and living with constant shoulder pain for many months until I went to see Dr. Koplan. After 4 visits, I feel 100% better. read more

Dr. Koplen is my favorite chiropractor in the world. In fact, I fly from Brazil to California just to visit him. Okay, truth is, I fly to visit my kids who live in the area, but one of the things I most anticipate is my visits to Dr. Koplen. I've been to ten or more chiropractors in my life (I've been an athlete all my life, so chiropractic care is a must), and he is by far the best. Only he can fix my lower back. No one else seems to be able to do it, not with stretching, tension, acupuncture, chiropractic adjustment, etc. But I sit in Michael's chair, relax, and let him do his thing, and voilá, fixed! He helps me every time. He's also helped my son and my daughter. I cannot recommend him highly enough...there just aren't words for how great he is. A healer, to be sure. I live in Brazil now, but wherever I live in the world, I will get back to him for my care (though it might just be cheaper to fly him wherever I am!). Trust him. You'll never regret it. read more

I am extremely pleased with Michael' services and I would recommend to anyone in the area. I hurt myself regularly enjoying extreme sports and I also just need some maintenance care doing an office job during the day. Michael helped with a most necessary adjustment after an injury and is now making sure to keep my back together and healthy for the long run. Chiropractic can be scary and he knows how to ease you into the manipulations and execute them brilliantly. I am a big fan! read more

Michael Koplen is, hands-down, the best chiropractor I've ever come into contact with -- he's been treating me, off and on, since the 1990s and I frankly wouldn't trust another chiropractor to handle my spine as beautifully as Michael does. He just seems to know where to make adjustments, small and large, that change my entire physiology for the better, eradicating pain, stress, and anomalous aches that arise in my body. He's a profound healer, with a heart of gold -- and clearly loves what he does. Rare, rare, rare. It's a privilege to be his client for, literally, decades, now. read more

I am a licensed acupuncturist and have worked with Michael for many years. He is a superb chiropractor and I recommend him highly. His Gonstead approach to adjustments can make substantial qualitative differences in one's health. read more

I'm a 22-year-old college student who formerly played collegiate baseball. Over the years of continuous skeletal/muscular stress (e.g. repetitive throwing motions/injuries), I've developed chronic pain in my shoulders to mid bicep region. Before Dr. Koplen, I saw team trainers, physical therapists, and not to mention, my personal doctor, all of who could not help relieve my pain. Thankfully, I was introduced to Dr. Koplen who gave me hope. Within my first adjustment, I noticed immediate results! Several visits thereafter, all my shoulder/arm pain was gone. Dr. Koplen is truly a healer! Its been 2 years now since my first visit and I am pain free--better yet, I am in the best shape of my life. Thank you Dr. Koplen!! read more

Dr Koplan remains the BEST! As of October 24, 2014 read more

Five stars! Obviously, I highly recommend Dr. Koplen. I've been a nurse for many years and work in a busy emergency department. I am also very athletic and active in my "spare" time. I suffered from crippling neck spasm headaches and very limited range of motion in my cervical spine for years secondary to multiple head and neck injuries. Dr. Koplen's friendly and compassionate demeanor put me instantly at ease. He is highly trained and experienced and has developed a great instinct for identifying the specific problem areas. He is generous with his time, genuinely listens and always has excellent therapeutic advice. His office is conveniently located and provides ample off street parking. The staff are bright and cheerful, gracious and accommodating. And they bill insurance! Thanks to Dr. Koplen and his excellent staff I can maintain a pain-free, full-functioning lifestyle! read more

I walked in bent over in pain and walked out upright. Dr Koplen has been amazing helping both my daughter and myself. If you are looking for an exceptional chiropractor, Dr Koplen it is! read more

Dr. Koplen is the best. I have been to many chiropractors. He gets it. For the first time in years, my back is getting unstuck. Grateful.

True story: After moving to LA for school and striking out on five different chiropractors (my GP finally told me he wouldn't write any more referrals) I started a bi-weekly-to-monthly trek back up to Santa Cruz to see Dr. Koplen for my adjustment. Yes, I've been diving six hours at least once a month to see my chiropractor. He's worth it. I'm still auditioning local chiropractors out of pocket, but until I find one I'm going to keep jumping through hoops to keep seeing him. I can't recommend him enough. read more

Dr. Koplen is above and beyond a Chiropractor. Going in for an adjustment is often the highlight of my day. The staff in the office are so friendly and helpful, and they always address me by name which is a first for me. The wait time is minimal, and Dr. Koplen is thorough. He also takes insurance which is a huge financial relief. He gets to know his patients and takes a real interest in them. He always asks how I'm doing beyond a simple answer. He knows that I work a stressful job and is always so supportive, offering extra advice on how to take care of myself in the safest and most preventative ways. I suffer from Chronic Back pain, TMJ and locked shoulder/neck muscles and I have tried multiple Chiropractors, Acupuncture treatments, and massage therapists. None of those treatments could even compare to the results I received from one treatment with Dr. Koplen. I didn't even know how painless I could feel until I found him. He won't make you come in more than you need to just to make more money, he's completely an honest Doctor and goes out of his way to be kind, compassionate, and to remind you that there still good and honest people in this world. I recommend Dr. Koplen to everyone I know and they feel the same way. Dr. Koplen is the best you will find. read more

Dr. Koplen is an excellent chiropractor. I've been having mid-back pain for about a decade now and decided to see Dr. Koplen on a friend's recommendation. I can't tell you how much relief I've gotten since my first visit to see him. I'd done yoga, chiropractic, pilates and so many other things to try to heal my injury, but until Dr. Koplen's adjustments, I got minimal relief. Now I find that my thoracic spine is rarely painful. If you're looking for a great practitioner, go see him. You won't be disappointed! read more

Dr. Koplen is absoltely the best! I have seen several chiropractors in town and I have never gotten these kind of results. I have seen him 4 or 5 times, and every time I feel a huge improvement. He has a magic touch ... He just feels around and can tell you exactly where your problems are. His work is from his heart! Which, I can't say for all of the chiropractors that I have seen. read more

Dr Koplen received a national Chiropractor of the Year award. Having been treated by him, I understand why. He succinctly diagnosis the cause of your symptoms then provides you with safe, effective, quality care. You should see what other patients have to say on his straightforward, no gimmicks website (www.drmichaelk.com). read more

Michael truly is a healer I agree. I've been going to him for nearly 5 years. He kept me happy and functional through my first pregnancy where I dealt with horrible sciatic pain. I never understood "chi" until I met Michael. read more

Michael Koplen is the best. I started going because I had headaches that would last days and I just couldn't stand it with out taking lots of headache relief. After my first visit I could tell it was what I needed. I was 90% healed after that first visit and I keep getting better! Dont live with pain anymore go see Michael and he will change how you feel about chiropractor care. He is gentle and will only do what your body will allow. I go weekly and love it! read more

I have been a patient of Dr, Koplen's on and off for years. I have had discomfort in my back for almost 15 years due to a car accident. In the years following, I tried a handful of chiropractors in the area and was nothing short of disappointed by my service I got no relief!! For years I stayed away from chiropractic care because I was so jaded and skeptical. Finally it got to the point where I was in so much pain that I resorted to going back. at that point any relief was just that- relief. In the waiting office I was informed that my normal chiropractor was not in the office that day, and if I wanted I could see another doctor in the office. I wound up seeing Doctor Koplen that day, and have since been a changed person physically. Every time I have seen Dr. Koplen I have left feeling noticeably lighter, looser, and all together better. Dr Koplen is gentle while effective and always takes what you have to say into great considerati0on before he makes any adjustments which is increasingly rarer everyday. I consider the fact that he is one of the kindest, gentlest, and authentically genuine humans I know a total bonus. This man truly works magic. read more
