I didn’t really know what a chiropractor did til my late 50s. My Dr had checked my back pain and said it was arthritis(live with it). I had sharp pain in my lower back so I found Dr Hayes recommended on a Kaiser site after I heard they helped people with pain. . Dr. Hayes is cheerful positive informative and a great listener.(Better than my docs). An xray showed serious issues and why lower back hurt so I began coming and feel so much better instead of helpless. When I got a frozen shoulder we worked on it til it went away. I go back periodically for adjustments to help my aging back stay as healthy as possible. Even kids go here! You need encouragement and relief from back pain? Come here. Joanie F. Galt
