I've been a patient at Carmel Valley Chiropractic for almost 10 years. I recently woke up with back…read morepain and went in to book an appointment. When I spoke with Kira at the front desk, she told me that because I hadn't been seen in a while, the visit would now cost $110 instead of the $80 (I had been paying around $75 per visit previously). This feels like I'm being penalized for staying healthy and not needing to come in regularly. After nearly a decade as a loyal patient, the sudden price increase just because I haven't been in for some time is disappointing. More concerning, this experience has started to make me question Dr. Chris's motives. Trust is the most important factor when you're letting someone perform adjustments on your body. If the goal is to get patients to come in more frequently, it raises the question: Are the adjustments being done to genuinely help, or in a way that might create the need for more visits and thereby put more money in the doctor's pocket? That's what this has got me questioning. I won't be returning. This has been a huge red flag for me.

Dr. Chris Elleraas truly works magic! I had been suffering from shoulder and back pain, along with…read morepain and numbness in my arms and hands for quite some time. I could even feel a couple of large "bumps" on my neck, and massage didn't help much. After I briefly described my symptoms, he immediately identified the exact problem areas. Then, with a few quick and precise adjustments--literally just a few "cracks"--he worked his magic. I honestly thought, "That's it?" But when I got back to my car and checked my neck, the two most noticeable bumps were gone. I was amazed! He also told me I would likely only need two or three visits, which shows how honest and confident he is in his treatment. On top of that, he is incredibly kind, warm, and funny--it actually makes you want to come back more often! Highly recommend to anyone dealing with pain or discomfort.

Funny enough, when I was waiting for my scan to start at body spec I ran into another *former* dexa body customer who had the same experience I did.
