Dr. Rabbetz is a true master in his field! After years of physical therapy and a diagnosis of spondylolisthesis, I came to him hoping to avoid surgery -- and his care has helped me feel that this is genuinely possible. He uses gentle joint and tissue manipulation, offers corrections to my exercise form, and provides effective stretches to manage my symptoms. After a year under his care, I can honestly say I feel stronger and more in control of my back health. My pain episodes are much less frequent and, when they do occur, I now have effective strategies to relieve and recover quickly. Dr. Rabbetz has also connected me with other excellent specialists, creating a "team" for my care. Looking back on this past year, I can say without hesitation that Dr. Rabbetz has been one of the greatest gifts to my health and well-being! read more

Wonderful and thoughtful treatment of my longstanding tissue damage. I'm a former Olympic athlete and spent many years trying to get the root of my injuries and Taylor helped tremendously with his evaluations and ability to isolate the issues. read more

I was lead to believe by the dr. that I would receive treatment for a month ,twice a week. When I went to the desk to schedule my appointment I was told it would be in 3 weeks. This after I had paid for an evaluation and one session (which took him 3mn on his ipad. ) Furthermore, the good dr. has made up rules for patients that he does not respect. If a patient arrives 10mn late they are penalized for $50. Yet, he arrived at that session 10 mn late and only treated me for 10mn. I didn't get a $50 rebate. I feel tricked by the 10mn doctor! read more

Dr. Rabbetz is amazing! He is so knowledgeable and you can tell he truly cares about his clients. Every time i've seen him he's given me great information and tools to improve. If you are seeking thorough, quality, and impactful care, come see him! read more

Dr. Rabbetz is awesome and very attentive. He has helped me with some weak spots in my body I've been working on and typical injuries from the gym or yoga. He offered achievable actions I could take to help me build my strength back and maintain the issue on my own for the future. Highly recommend him! Feeling stronger every day and feeling great in my body again! read more

I've been seeing Dr. Rabbetz for nearly 20 years (which is weird, because he doesn't look a day over 30), starting with my first marathon and through multiple endurance events since. I've found that a lot of sports medicine folks' first (and sometimes only) solution is for you to cease activity and wait for things to get better. While this is sometimes Taylor's advice too, I've found his overall approach is much more oriented towards keeping me going -- which is why I call him Dr. Go. Be it problems with my back, calf, shins or quads, Taylor has helped me through it all -- and he can help you too! read more

My first visit with Dr. Rabbetz was great and he was so thorough. I went for lower back pain and, because I'm also dealing with an Achilles issue, he took a look at that as well. He provided me with more information and direction than even my podiatrist has and I feel better about the path forward. He is certainly taking a more holistic approach. Not to mention that he's friendly and patient with my questions! I'm a fan now and will most certainly be seeing him going forward. read more

I have been seeing Taylor for many years. He is knowledgable, patient, and caring. He has helped me navigate several injuries and find a path back to peak fitness. I recommend him highly. read more

I have been seeing Dr. Taylor Rabbetz for a decade now and can't say enough about the level and depth of the expertise this practice has and their solutions. It's also great to see how friendly and family-like the team members are there! It feels like a second home sometimes. As an active sports player, father, and having demanding career, having Dr. Rabbetz and his team by my side has been essential to my success. Everything from adjustments and stretching, to top-notch and front-end solutions including rehabilitation from several hockey injuries through my every day check ups and adjustments, they do it all. It's a lot more than what the name on the door says, it's evident that their experience, industry network, advanced learnings and clientele are big drivers of what makes them successful, which is what makes me successful :) They also take the time to learn what's unique about you and your body and tailor their treatments and ideas that meets your needs while being impactful. Highly recommend! - Tim Cerimele read more

Taylor is a life saver! Several years ago he got me through the most debilitating time in my life. I am now back to all of the activities I love and am pain free. I have freedom in my body. He diagnosed something that medical doctors missed for 13 years. I have been to several other chiropractors and no one compares to Taylor . He is an excellent diagnostician. He treats your whole body instead of just the one part that hurts, which gives a much better pathway to successful healing. I recently saw him for neck pain that has been bothering me for a few months and within just a couple of visits I am on the road to recovery. His whole plan is to get you back to pain free life as quickly as possible. His adjustments are very specific and hold much better than others. I am hyper mobile which is more difficult to adjust. Not for Taylor ! Besides his incredible skills, he is wonderful to spend time with. He is caring, compassionate, positive and hilarious. You will get everything you need when you see him. read more

I have received periodic care from Dr. Rabbetz for over 15 years primarily for neck issues, but have also seen him for running related knee and ankle injuries as well. He is super in tune with the muscular skeletal system and knows how to make significant alignment improvements within 1-2 visits. Dr. Rabbetz is also an empathetic listener and is helpful in recommending exercise routines to help improve stability. He is the best of the best! read more

After having 3 babies in 4 years, a broken foot, a torn hip labrum, and massive instability in my sacroiliac joint... I have probably spent more time with Dr. Rabbetz, Dr. Suarez, Jez, and the PT team than almost anyone - they have brought me back from every single injury and saved me from needing surgery. They are 2nd to none. I have sent at least a dozen friends and colleagues to Chiro-Medical Group, with excellent outcomes. I am a healthcare industry executive and have an extremely high bar about my providers. I am forever grateful for Dr. Rabbetz, Dr. Suarez, Payal, Erica, and the staff for all they've done to get me back to pain-free. They are true professionals with a talent for understanding the human body. I just finished a couple mile run with not an ounce of pain, I am able to play with my young kids again, and I feel strong and educated about my body. I trust this crew without reservation and am deeply grateful. read more

Dr. Rabbetz seems to be an upbeat, knowledgeable physician. I believe he is capable of providing quality care, but that was not my experience. I believe that when researching a business on yelp, you should weigh the good and bad reviews as different parts of a bigger picture. This review is from the negative side. I have a herniation in my lower back that prevents me from pursuing my chosen profession of the culinary arts. I've spent some time in the front of the house to take a little stress off my injury and now feel I have the time to really do something about it. I came to Dr. Rabbetz very hopeful. I pay for my appointments out of pocket, and explained that I really had one shot at making this better. He said he understood, and that I needed to see their physical therapy department because they worked together "synergistically" to care for patients, though it increased the cost of appointments. I agreed and had an excellent first visit with the therapy department where I learned a series of daily morning stretches and exercises. I did as I was told and performed them every day. Later that week, I experienced serious sciatic pain in my right leg. It abated within a day, but would also flare up easily. At my next appointment, Dr. Rabbetz was visibly surprised that I had been stretching when I woke up and explained that I needed to actually stretch only after exercise, to warm the muscles. We walked over to the PT department and it became clear that they had had no communication other than when I had actually been standing there. Dr. Rabbetz had not been made aware of the information I provided the therapist and the therapist had clearly not been contacted by Dr. Rabbetz in that time. I told the therapist that I needed to see some more preparedness and organization for my next visit. I went over the same concerns with the receptionist upon leaving. I just received a call from the office manager (whom I have never met) saying that Dr. Rabbetz is dropping me as a patient and refunding 3 of the 4 visits I had. Professionally, I appreciate the financial gesture, but as a patient, that is super lame. In his offices, there are all these pictures of people with back injuries finishing triathlons, thanking Dr. Rabbetz for fixing them. I don't think you can just fix the people where things are straightforward and easy. I griped about something I feel that it is obvious to expect from a healthcare provider and was immediately dropped. Instead of listening to me and fixing the problem he chose to give up without a second thought. That is disappointing in the extreme. I can't imagine the kind of perseverance and consistency it takes to complete a triathlon, but these qualities are absent from Dr. Rabbetz' care. Also, getting someone else to have that conversation for you is a little bit yellow-bellied. read more

Dr. Taylor Rabbetz is a magician! Seriously, if we could extract his hands 'genius factor', distill and bottle it, then force the USA government/senators to drink it, then this countries broken, corrupt, inept hobbling would be fixed overnight. If you could smear a little of his hand therapy on warring nations, though brutal at first, we'd have world peace much sooner. By the way, I can walk almost without limping after one session. read more

I was at a total loss. Two steps across the finish line of the Boston Marathon in April and I was in pain, limping. The pain didn't subside until I had pounded a ton of advil and then motrin and spent a night in pain in my shin. Back in San Francisco, I saw a sports-medicine doc (from a different practice), we'll call him Doc A. Doc A sent me for an MRI. Doc A sent me to Physical Therapy. PT and associated low-impact exercises in a gym, and two months, and I was not better: couldn't run without pain. PT sent me back to the Doc, but Doc A wasn't available so I saw Doc B (same practice as Doc A). Doc B looked at my MRI and contradicted Doc A. No PT, no exercise save swimming (or Not Drowning, as I like to call it). Three months later and I had the same problem: couldn't run without pain. Desperate, I sought a recommendation for "anyone who could fix my leg". I got a recommendation for Dr. Rabbetz. Dr. Rabbetz combined physical manipulation with strength building and a few adjustments over the course of six to eight weeks with great success: I'm running again, and without pain! His approach allows him time to talk with the patient. He talked *and* listened. He included what might be happening in my head as well as in my legs. He treated the whole patient. I am so glad to be back to running, and I'm very appreciative of his work, read more

I feel so lucky that I found Dr. Rabbetz. I've struggled with hip problems for almost a decade now. After a few visits to him, my hip already feels the best it's felt in ages. I also really appreciate that he was so cautious when we first started considering I had surgery on my hip a few years back. Definitely recommend seeing Dr. Rabbetz for any lifters or active folks to stay healthy! read more

Taylor Rabbetz is legit. If you have any injury, past or present, that you are trying to overcome you need to see Taylor. If you are skeptical about chiropractic care, you need to see Taylor. If you need routine back/body care, you need to see Taylor. I have been to see him for all the aforementioned reasons, and every time I walk out of his office better [physically and mentally] than when I walked in and isn't that the goal? I believe it is. Guy is outstanding and I have referred a handful of friends to Taylor and will continue to do so without hesitation. read more

5 years running and Dr. Taylor STILL is high up on the pedestal of folks I owe my good health and good life to! 2005 - Did not have a clue on how to run, wore the wrong shoes (Sketchers!) and ran like Dr. Evil's son, all of which culminated in a severely impacted knee as I ran down Twin Peaks (I was chasing a cute runner, folks!). - 5 months of PT with Dr. Taylor and his team had me back running, working out, swimming, biking and all this, with a spring in every step. 2007 - Long distance trail running in the Marin Headlands made my right IT band go tits up on me to the extent that I could not go down one step without experience shooting pain up my right body. - 3 months of PT with Dr. Taylor and his team had me back in shape in no time. They recommended great stretches, great exercises and I was back in the game feeling greater than ever! 2008 - Tore my right arch running down Strawberry Hill (nope, there are no strawberries on that hill) and painful as it was, it was awesome getting handicap seating at concerts, restaurants, buses and even parades. I was in crutches and LOVED the attention. - It's been about 6 months since that happened and my arch has healed pretty well and I'm back in training for the SF Marathon Dr. Taylor and his team (Shrivanthi and Jez) are absolutely the best! When my company changed from PPO to HMO, I did not mind paying the extra $80 every month to keep my PPO and continue to be able to see Dr. Taylor - that's how good he is and then some! Whether you're looking to just get adjusted or are training for a marathon for the first time or the 30th time, Dr. Taylor is your guy! read more

Thank goodness for Dr. Rabbetz. I have been bumped around from Dr. to Dr. during my decade in San Francisco and Dr. Rabbetz is one of those incredible finds you want to tell everyone about. He is always attentive, intelligent and thorough. Among many things, his consistency, empathy and dedication are simply amazing to me. Have you ever been in a profession where most moments of your day require you to be consumed with other people's issues? Well, it's $&^% difficult as hell, and I admire him for being so committed to his patients and staff, as well as the field. The moment you walk into his office, this becomes apparent -- the thank you letters from his patients you'll see scattered around are telling. I've been a consumer of chiropractic for 20 years, and nothing has ever happened where I've questioned his credibility. Even in today's world, where patients need to be extra vigilant and proactive about their care--whether they're receiving the right care, whether they're exploring all the options available to them--I feel such reassurance knowing there are people like Dr. Rabbetz around. He's an avid promoter of chiropractic and the benefits of alternative therapies, but not at the expense of practicality, efficiency or, more obviously... medicine. read more

45 minutes faster on the bike & back pain free. Thanks Dr. Rabbetz & Sal. During my first IronMan I got off the bike 3 times to rest my back and gritted through some pain. Advil, creams and kinsenlogy tape were not cutting it. More over I was seeing a chiropractor every week for six months. The chiropractor, Accupuncturist, massage wasn't cutting it. In advance of my second IronMan someone referred me to Dr. Rabbetz. They said it would be painful but give it a shot. 8 rough sessions later and some on going maintenance the long-term problem disappeared. More than a few back cracks the team, which included Sal on massage and a few PTs, became a personal trainer seeing me through 5 races & about 6,500 miles. The treatment was rough but just what an athlete needs. With the back pain gone my bike was 45 minutes faster in my IronMan. On top of that the increased flexibility, new shoes which they recommended, my overall race results improved by double that. Now, I'm busy recovering from shoulder surgery. Dr. Rabbetz is again by my side along with his team. While today I am hoping to raise my hand again, they know I want to be back in the pool and they are helping me keep focused on the needed recovery. Athletes or every day people I recommend this as the place to go. read more

Taylor fixed my back and my debilitating sciatica. To the point that I have no more pain and am completely as active as when I was 21. No surgery necessary, overall much lower cost than what my doctor said I might need, and way less invasive. My insurance covered some (not all) of my treatment with Dr Rabbetz. My co-pays were worth every penny. My treatment required intensive visits the first few weeks, then more and more time in between. Now I just go at my own volition for an adjustment now and then (ah and it's great when I do). Dr. Rabbetz and his staff are friendly and caring. And he has a great sense of humor. He also indulges my questions (I am probably annoyingly inquisitive) and he explains in plain language the rationale behind every little thing he does if you are interested. I love going to Chiro Medical and am so grateful for how he fixed my problems. read more

This review is long over due. I have been working with Dr. Rabbetz for the last 10+ years and he has helped me tremendously with my chronic pain issues. Thanks to Dr. Rabbetz I can work in a physically demanding job and have a much higher quality of life than I had before I met him. He is also a very kind and caring person. I have tried other chiropractors, acupuncturists and massage therapists over the years but no one has helped me as much as Dr. Rabbetz has. If you are looking for the best chiropractor in the Bay Area look no further you've just found him! read more

Dr. Rabbetz and his massage therapists (Jez and Siobhan) are miracles workers. They have saved me from a life of pain and misery twice. The first time was after my ACL replacement surgery. I didn't realize how bad my leg muscles atrophied until I tried to go for my first run. I threw my back out something fierce. I was bent over at the middle and couldn't stand up straight if I tried-not even when I literally ran into Paris Hilton in front of the Juicy Couture store because I couldn't see where I was going. I had to crane my neck into the most unusual position so that I could get a gander at her. So now, I have both back and neck pain. Thanks Paris. After a few intense deep tissue massages, chiropractic treatments and some physical therapy, I was able to get right back on that horse. Er, treadmill, I mean, and train for an upcoming 10k run. The second time I had ridiculously crazy issues was when I was pregnant. I had lower back and pelvic (not internal organs, but my actual pelvis bones) pain. I would go in with tears in my eyes and dragging my feet. Really. I could not pick them up because it hurt so bad! After a treatment with Dr. Rabbetz and his team, I felt 2 inches taller and the pain was gone. I did require routine maintenance. I think I saw him once a week up until I no longer had OB approval and then I just had to deal until the kidlet was born. I still go in for an adjustment every now and again. I don't always remember to bend at the knees when I pick up the kidlet. And since she's a giant monster baby, I wreak havoc upon my back when I bend at the waist to pick her up. read more

My experience with Dr Rabbetz and the entire Chiro Medical staff was nothing short of awesome. Dr Rabbetz was extremely patient and thorough in diagnosing and helping rehab a separated shoulder that I suffered. All the while, he is a very personable guy who speaks from a very down-to-earth and athletic perspective . Dr Rabbetz is supported by a very capable and hospitable group of administrators, massage therapists, and physical therapists. I recommend him highly. read more

Great - strong - fast - massage therapist to start - seasoned. I felt like a million bucks afterwards.

Hesitating writing this review, but it's been a year since I last saw Taylor and I still don't feel great about what happened. I went in for my hip pain twice a week and the PTs I worked with were GREAT, but when I saw Taylor it felt like I was just a part of an assembly line in a factory. A strict not even 5 minutes of conversation about my hip, crack crack, "come back in a couple of days", next patient. After about a month of no improvements, I asked to get an MRI done on my hips. When the radiology results came back, he asked me to see him. I went to the office thinking it would be another routine visit, but nope. He threw my slides on the big screen and diagnosed me with something intense. "You have a growth on your hip joint and you need to get surgery to remove it ASAP. It is a very intense surgery, with 6 months downtime, and at the end of the 6 months we will teach you how to walk again." Excuse me? As I was walking out, his team at Chiro Med assured me that the staff was there to support me. They were great, but inadvertently made me feel worse by saying they had experience themselves getting cancerous growths removed (knock on wood...holy crap). Several sleepless nights later, I visited the orthopedic surgeon, who conducted x-rays on me and came into the room very confidently saying I was fine, didn't need surgery, and probably just needed PT to strengthen my hip area. The radiology report said I had 1) Mild hip dysplasia on left hip (where ball and socket don't fit perfectly) and 2) Benign bone growth on another part of my hip bone. Taylor had gotten the two confused and incorrectly combined the two - saying I had excess bone growing ON my hip joint. I was very confused and called Chiro Med afterwards asking to speak to Taylor. He refused to take my call after trying to reach him several times over the course of two weeks. I could have sued for malpractice, but all I wanted was an explanation because the office visits with Taylor and the surgeon were like night and day. The whole thing was extremely unprofessional. I decided to investigate this confusion on my own and visited several other orthopedic surgeons for other opinions. I finally went to a surgeon who specialized in the PAO surgery (for hip dysplasia + what Taylor must have thought I needed), who sent me to an expensive $200/session hip PT. After a month or two and several thousand dollars later, this surgeon determined I did not need surgery and confirmed my dysplasia was very mild. It was a series of unfortunate events, but I am very thankful I am ok. This was a several month stressful rabbit hole I wish I never had to endure - all started by Taylor's confidence misdiagnosis. Chiropractors should not be allowed to diagnose patients with extreme conditions or interpret radiology reports. Please send your patients to real surgeons before scaring patients into thinking they have something they do not. Please stick to your own specialty, cracking people's joints. For future patients looking for a chiropractor - I think Chiro Med is an excellent place, and I will emphasize the amazing staff, but please be wary when choosing a "doctor". Alternatively, if you think your pain is something more serious, skip this place altogether and go see an MD. read more

It's easy to write a review for someone you rave about regularly. I am an Acupuncturist/Herbalist in Berkeley and patient of Dr. Rabbetz. I refer patients from the East Bay to Hong Kong to Dr. Rabbetz ~ he's that good! Four years ago I limped and whimpered my very crooked-self into Dr. Rabbetz's office. I couldn't walk or stand or sit without incredible pain day and night. Traveling from the East Bay to SF felt like an expedition across the world. I was suffering mightily. A 20 on a scale of 1-10. I HAD to be in the best hands. I couldn't afford NOT to be. Dr. Rabbetz greeted me warmly and professionally, then reviewed my MRI carefully. My L5-S1 disc was severely herniated and compressing my sciatic nerve. He was honest. A bit more herniation and he would not have been able to help me. He built an immediate trust with me. It was a loooong road, which is (hurray!!) now behind me...with continued maintenance of course. Dr. Rabbetz brings an incredible humanity to his work. His combination of EXCELLENT chiropractic care, compassion, humor and warmth are unparalleled. My husband and I love working with him. You will too! read more

Dr. Rabbetz changed my believe in chiropractic involvement in your body maintenance and recovery. I'm hooked! I'm there every 6 weeks. Everyone is very professional and attentive. I look forward to my visitsevery time. read more

A much overdue review, better late then never... Hockey goaltending for over 7 years has seriously messed up my lower body. About 10 months ago I had sprained my right ankle. I could play on it if it didn't hurt too much. Just ice and heat after games right? Idiot me then proceeded to sprain my left ankle trying to take it easy on my right. Doh! After a ton of ice, pain meds, and a couple of weeks off, I figured I would be good to go. I was wrong. I had lost my confidence(which is everything in the art of goalie), never had my footing back, and would have a recurring ankle pain. My season was a mess. 4 wins, 12 losses, and 1 tie. I really couldn't stop a beach ball moving at 3 MPH. I sucked. Searing ankle pain, a lost confidence, a 4-12-1 season... I really thought I would have to take some serious time off. Maybe some yoga, underwater basket weaving, or brick oven pottery would give my ankles time to fix themselves? I was wrong again. [Enter handsome, intelligent, and hilarious Dr. Taylor Rabbetz ] This guy is.....a godsend! After a few "magic tricks" with his "thumbs of ungodly pain", I literally made a 180 with my performance on the ice. After a few sessions my ankles didn't hurt anymore. Soon after, It felt like my ankles were attached to my legs again. I started to notice that I wasn't thinking about my ankles during games. I was able to focus on my game without worring my ankles would fall off. I could stop pucks again! Amazing! Dr. Rabbetz informed me, this was only the beginning... [Enter Dr. Rabbetz's tools, tricks, exercises, and assistants] [-omit graphic, painful, exciting and entertaining details-] Taylor would ask me questions on the movements I would make, then take out some crazy looking tool of the day, go to town on somewhere seemingly random, and what do you know? I start feeling better in places I didn't even know that were hurting! Who the hell knows these things?! Taylor Rabbetz. I soon was stealing points single handedley. The next season, I went for 13 wins, 9 losses, and 4 ties. I didn't win the championship, but I made it to the final round. I can't wait for the next season to begin, so I can pile up the wins again. Words can not describe my appreciation for the work Taylor and his staff have done for me. Taylor turned my season around when I was about to break. I always wonder what new tips and tricks he has to elevate my game. I'll gladly repeat..This guy is a godsend. read more

I did not have a good experience with Dr. Rabbetz. My first consult with him lasted a total of 6 minutes, so I went back to see if it would happen again and it did to my disappointment. I spent less than 15 min with him total, then he sent me to see a trainer to show me some stretches for my problem. I was billed over $250 basically for nothing, will not be going back. read more

Appointments always felt rushed. After one of my corrective sessions with him, the adjustment just felt wrong and caused more pain than I began with. read more

Really good, friendly, professional chiropractor. My regular chiro was out of town on vacation and I tweeked something in my back and was in a LOT of pain. A friend recommended Dr. Rabbetz. Luckily, I got into the office the same day and they took good care of me. Cracked those knots right out of my back and I was much better. They definitely have a good approach of looking after your overall wellness and encouraging stretches and self care. I was really open with them about the fact that I already see a chiro and I was just in need of a minor fix up and they accommodated me. Very positive experience. read more

I came to Dr. Rabbetz almost a year ago with crippling neck pain (desk jobs suck). With his help - and that of the physical therapists and massage therapists in his office - I am on the road to a healthy back. I always look forward to my "chiropractor days" - I love going to see Taylor! I have recommended him on so many occasions, I can't believe it's taken me this long to yelp him. read more

Dr. Rabbetz and Sal are the best and I have been to a lot of physical therapist that focus on athletes. Their whole staff is awesome too. Very courtesy and they know what they are doing. read more

Taylor was recommended to me by my acupuncturist (Duncan MacDonald) and he is doing a superb job of fixing up my back and groin pain which was pretty recalcitrant. I'll recommend him to anyone anytime. read more

Dr. Taylor Rabbetz has hands like a homing device that find all the aches and pains in my body that I didn't know I had. He encouraged me to look into more intensive hip treatments and his referrals led me to the best of the best hip surgeons in SF. My hip is better than before and my quality of life has dramatically changed. He also takes the time to explain how everything is inter-related and shows me exercises​ and stretches to improve my flexibility and strength. Instead of sitting and waiting in the treatment room, he is very thoughtful​ in having his assistant Mitch provide some physical therapy which warms up the body in preparation for when he comes in to do assessments and adjustments.​ He also doesn't rush me out the door afterward​ but inquires as to my well-being. Dr. Rabbetz is a talented doctor and a wonderful person. I make sure to visit him at least once a month for maintenance, as I'm a firm believer in chiropractic care. It should be mandatory for all insurance companies to cover chiropractic​ treatments. Like with any profession, you need to find the best - and Dr. Rabbetz is the best chiropractor! read more

Retrospectively it is possible I had not met my deductible or something so I am increasing it to 4 starts... next time though i recommend them being more transparent with costs. read more

I give Dr. Rabbetz and Jess high marks for putting me on the road to recovery from my sciatica and 2 large disc herniations located at the L4-L5 and L5-S1. I used to think that my active lifestyle was completely over when I couldn't help but limp as I walked and couldn't go up stairways. I couldn't sit for more than 20 minutes at my chair without having to stand up and deal with the pain. 1600 mg of ibuprofen used to be my daily intake to manage the pain. In my search for different ways to heal, I tried a chiropractor before Dr. Rabbetz, and he wasn't able to help at all. Make sure you provide an MRI (or copies of results) to the professionals who treat you. Also, I went to countless number of physical therapy sessions that helped in some way, but I saw only moderate incremental improvements in pain levels that ultimately plateaued. During that interim, for exercise, I also swam as much as I could because the front crawl simulates and stretches the spine like some of the physical therapy exercises, is low impact sport, and is good cardio exercise. I went as often as 4 times a week and like the physical therapy exercises, I saw incremental improvements that leveled off too. Nonetheless, my pain still persisted until I decided to take Debra Sue K's yelp review seriously and gave Dr. Rabbetz a visit at the Chiro-Med Group. Dr. Rabbetz and Jess are both friendly and approachable and have amazing healing regimens. The Chiro-Med Group also gave me some physical therapy exercises to do to get better. Anyways, after 8-10 visits, I don't have to bear with the pain any longer, don't need physical therapy, and I can be as active as I used to be. read more

Taylor Rabbetz = God. Am a prior patient who spent 7 years 24/7 at a desk to the point I couldn't turn my neck. Taylor has a demeanor that is comforting, a personality that is a hoot, even for a Canadian.... I hope you're reading Taylor... and he works his magic like no other. I have referred countless patients to Taylor and Chiro Medical and everyone will agree, Taylor will sort you out. read more

Dr Rabbetz has truly been, and still is fundamental in my very long road back to racing (triathlons). I came to Dr Rabbetz after a simple meniscus tear to assist with recovery, while still seeing a PT, Dr Rabbetz was the one who identified my recovery was not on track, sent me for another MRI, which lead to identifying I actually had a curved femur and as a result breaking down the lateral side of inside my knee. Ultimately I saw an orthopedic surgeon who recommend a Distal Femoral Osteotomy surgery (2nd opinion agreed) (femur cut in half, wedge inserted to re-angle). Coming back from this surgery, including the 3.5 months not walking post, the muscle atrophy, all was and still is a long road. Dr Rabbetz is so well researched and experienced from studies he has done in various therapies, some he will be honest and tell you done not have a lasting effect and not worth the money. What I also like with Dr Rabbetz is he is very hands on, may at times be a little painful, but so effective, I feel he gets things done in one treatment that other more passive therapists take 3. I also like that he works with you for your goals, opposed to giving you the questions like "Do you really need to run?" or other similar comments you can receive from practitioners who don't understand the competitive athlete mentality.
