Pinched nerve treatment addresses nerve compression in spinal and extremity regions through precise chiropractic adjustments and inflammation reduction techniques.

I went to Kalal because I was having back spasm after doing wall climbing for 5 hours. He put me in a position and PUNCHED my spine. I heard a pop in my chest and was in severe pain. I went to the emergency room and MRI showed 8 slipped discs in my thoracic region that I didn't have before. Since then I have SO many issues with my back because he permanently damaged it. I had no back issues before, just spasms from working out my back wall climbing. Now I throw my back out 4 times a year because of the slipped discs and spine deformity caused by an incident with him. DO NOT GO.

4 friends have been going here for years and after moving in the area I decided to give him a shot. I also bumped into 2 other friends in the waiting room that I didn't know see him. I like that they accept my insurance! Each time you go the treatment is different such as manipulation, acupuncture, acupressure, etc. Dr Kalal is not a one trick pony as they say! His wife runs the front end and is so kind with extraordinary patience especially dealing with all the insurance companies! If you want a chiropractor that's knowledgeable and experienced about the body/mind and who uses many techniques, give him a chance!

I'm writing this after a few agonizing days of sciatic nerve pain. I went to see Dr. Joe Kalal today and he gave me the treatment I needed to reduce the pain by 90%. I don't remember writing a yelp review back in 2007 about him but it's all still true! My update 8 years later (wow!): There aren't words to describe how grateful I am to Doc for all the years of caring and expert attention he has given to my whole family.

He is able to pinpoint areas that no one else can. He has a sixth sense for finding what is causing your problems. Trust me everyone. I have tried others and there is absolutely no comparison. The man is a true master of his craft. Don't give up - go see Doc Joe!

This is the first time I can actually say that I enjoy spending time with my PCP. I have seen many providers and have had many negative experiences prior to seeing Dr. Kalal and Dori. These people are genuinely good and seek to improve the problems that bring you to their office. Both my fiance and I have chosen this office and this is the first time we feel that a provider has actively listened to us and offered suggestions for improving activities that worsen our condition.

And the eerie manipulations that because of loud audible cracking make me cringe initially, appear to provide relief afterwards. We are most pleased to be patients at the Kalal office and hope that Joe and Dori continue to share their joy and treatment to many others. Cheers
