My wife introduced me to Dr. Rod, whilst she was experiencing her own second pregnancy back issues. I was overwhelmingly pleased with the entire experience, it being my first visit to a chiropractor. Very mellow, informative, fluid, and most importantly, I left each visit feeling more aligned and whole. The Dr. also has a very welcoming quality to her. Like you've known her for years. Highly recommend.

Dr. Rod treated me multiple times a week for almost a year after a car accident. She is so friendly, positive and easy to work with! She made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I looked forward to coming to our appointments and working with her. We worked on chiropractic care, but Dr. Rod was also focused on helping me get better through physical therapy and exercises for long term care. I would highly recommend her!

Dr. Kelsall has been an absolute necessity in my life! I started seeing her about two years ago and she has released old tension in my back that I thought would never get released. She focuses on the entire body and her approach with a lead in massage to warm up the body is simply genius. She incorporates laser, stim and taping as well for injuries or problem areas and has been just amazing to work with.
She is personable, warm, caring and runs a very tight office. I can't think of a time I had an appointment start late. I can't recommend her highly enough! And I can say that after seeing probably six different chiropractors before Dr. Kelsall and she is simply the best.

I went to Kelsall Chiropractic two days ago because my neck was giving me nasty fits. Driving my car was difficult, even turning my head was problematic. Dr. Weber did a great job at explaining why I was in pain and was extremely informative about how he was going to help; which was great because this was my first chiropractic visit. The noise when my back and neck adjusted was a bit scary because it was unfamiliar, but the feeling was amazing!
He explained to me that when an injury takes place ( which as an MMA fighter is very common) the stress around the area causes tension and bunches up. And the feeling of euphoria was coming from the realignment of my body. I love it and am a believer! Thank you Kelsall Clinic and a Huge Thank you to Dr. Weber!

I have been going to Kelsall Chiropractic for over fifteen years and have been very impressed with her practice. Whenever I have had a new issue she is able to fix it and recommend exercises to maintain the treatment. She is always up to date on the latest technology and I have been very pleased with both the massage treatment and her adjustment. Her staff is always very friendly and I have enjoyed my relationship with all of them over the years. I highly recommend this service!

I'm being treated by Dr. Weber at Kelsall Chiropractic for work related pain, and injuries in my back and neck. I appreciate Dr. Weber's holistic approach, exceptional listening, and his ability to locate the pain I'm having without me having to even explain where it is. I went in for my appointment this morning feeling tired and stiff and after my visit with Dr. Weber I was rejuvenated and relaxed.
I feel that everyone deserves to have a clinician as talented as Dr. Weber as part of their health and wellness. Thank You Kelsall Chiropractic for allowing me to go to work without annoying pain in my back and neck.

I started seeing Dr. Kelsall about 15 years ago for an extremely painful frozen shouler. She was recommended to me by Western States College. She eventually completely healed my shoulder and it hasn't bothered me since. I've gone to her for various problems over the years, and have always received very good care, with excellent results. I have seen many chiropractors over the years, and find her to be very skilled with a kind healing nature. I have recommended her many times, and will continue to do so.

I've been a patient of Dr. Kelsall's for about 7 years. She is truly an expert in her field! I always look forward to my appointments, and the experience in her clinic is one of healing and relaxation that begins the moment you walk through the door. The massage that is included with the adjustment is always heavenly and relaxes and prepares the body for treatment it is about to receive. Dr. Kelsall's adjustments are administered with great care and accuracy, and she is firm yet gentle in her technique, unlike some of the more forceful chiropractors many people may have experienced.
I always leave the clinic feeling better than when I came, regardless of what my issue may be, and Dr. Kelsall has fixed many physical issues I have had over the years. I think many people live with pain and discomfort that they don't realize they don't have to tolerate. Regular treatments with an expert such as Dr. Kelsall will give you a "baseline" for you to better understand how your body should feel, and what "normal" is for you. Lastly, I TRUST Dr. Kelsall. This is such an important quality in any doctor and my trust is not earned easily.

I've been going to Kelsall Chiropractic since Karen Kelsall first opened her doors for business in the late 1990's. Throughout the time I have seen her, I've found her combination of massage and chiropractic adjustments to work best for my body, and keeps me on the soccer field, even as I approach 50. She understands an athlete's needs, how to rehab smartly from injuries, and how to combine other techniques (Kinesio tape, cold laser, etc.) to add to the healing process.
In addition, Dr. Kelsall thinks of the whole body when working with me, and not just my spine. She is an integral part of my medical team as I age and change and adjust to new challenges physically. I find her adjustments to be gentle and highly effective. Since she's been a world class athlete herself, she understands how important my health is to keep in the game.
She always has great ideas for stretches and exercises to strengthen me for my sport, and for life as a parent of small children. I recommend her wholeheartedly for chiropractic care! LOVE the 10 minute massage that begins each visit. Check her out!

I have been seeing Dr. Kelsall consistently for nearly ten years. Running, mountain biking, skiing, and being active are a huge part of my life and Dr. Kelsall helps me work through the inevitable injuries, pulls, and strains. I really value her holistic approach. She prescribes a combination of massage, focused rehab exercises that I do on my own, and adjustments in her office.
She stays up to speed on the latest, proven therapies including cold laser therapy, Graston technique, and spider taping and will work with me until we're making progress. I've had great success and have worked through all of my issues over time, from runner's knee and shoulder injuries to nagging back pain. Lastly, she has a great staff: from the office manager to her massage therapists, they deliver great service and results!

I have been seeing Dr. Kelsall for over a year now and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. I have never felt better. I missed a month recently and I definitely felt it. She is gentle and efficient. When people ask me about Chiropractic services I always recommend her and give them her information.
