At Rise Family Chiropractic, every story matters.

My daughter Rori was a little over a month old when we started seeing Dr Kallie for her colic. She seemed to be in a constant state of being uncomfortable and couldn’t seem to fully relax. She was always cranky, and as a new mom it broke my heart to see her like that. I know sleep can be rocky with newborns, but Rori’s was especially difficult due to the fact that she couldn’t get comfortable. We had tried all of the gripe water and colic relief products in all of the stores. We tried moving her legs to get her digestive system going. It seemed like we had tried everything and we were exhausted! 

Rori went from being constantly cranky and uncomfortable to being the world's happiest baby. I am amazed at how much improvement I have seen in her. 

In addition to getting the help we needed for her colic, when Rori was about 10 months old she started developing severe ear infections almost every month. She was constantly on antibiotics and it seemed like we were constantly in and out of doctors offices or urgent cares. It completely interfered with her sleep, as she couldn’t lay down flat without feeling pain from the infections. As parents, we were tired and out of options on how to help her. After getting adjusted she had gone about 5 months without one which is SUCH a blessing. Now when we feel like there might be something going on in her ears, typically an adjustment is all she needs! Rori sleeps so well when she has been adjusted regularly. We have gone several weeks without an adjustment before due to schedules and being out of town, and we could tell a huge difference in her sleep and overall mood when she hasn’t had an adjustment. I pray that other parents with little ones will give chiropractic care a try! I truly believe that the care Rori has received from Dr Kallie has completely changed the trajectory of her first years of life.

When I started coming to Dr. Kallie, I was experiencing severe pain in my upper back and shoulders as well as tightness in my neck. I had been in pain since I was 13, and since I’m only 22 that was almost half my life.I had tried muscle relaxer pills which made me too drowsy to drive even on an extremely small dose. I’d also tried two different chiropractors, neither of which were Gonstead practitioners. My pain interfered with my energy levels, making me feel exhausted by the end of the day. This made it hard for me to plan multiple activities in one day. 

I was referred by my boyfriend to Rise Family Chiropractic. I was skeptical that this chiropractor would be any different from the first two I had tried where I hadn’t gotten any substantial results and the care seemed cookie-cutter rather than tailored to meet my specific needs. I have been getting adjustments from Dr. Kallie for almost 6 months. The specificity of Gonstead adjustments astounded me. With this being my third chiropractic I expected the care to be pretty much the same but it was vastly different. The way my X-ray is used to tailor my care to fit my specific needs isn’t something I had experienced elsewhere. I have experienced a lot of relief from my back pain and my bad days are much less frequent than when I used to have several bad days a week. I definitely have more energy with being in less pain! If you’re not happy with the chiropractic care you’re receiving, don’t just resign yourself to this being “the only option”. Seek out a provider who is willing to understand your unique situation and provide specific care to meet your needs.

I never would have thought that adjusting my neck and back would make a difference on my head and stomach but it definitely has… everything is connected to the spine somehow! I have been suffering from anxiety and nausea for years.  It was getting to the point that I was never eating (but not losing weight) and making life choices based on how much anxiety I thought my decision would give me. I went to numerous doctors for my nausea and had numerous tests and procedures conducted.  I also broke down and went on anxiety medication to be able to function. My condition interfered with my overall ability to enjoy this short life we are given.

One of my best girlfriends told me I should consider going to see Dr. Kallie so I made an appointment. I had doubts, I wasn’t sure how getting an adjustment could help stomach and anxiety issues. My back felt fine. At first I was seeing the doctor three times a week for consistent adjustments. Eventually it reduced to twice a week and currently I am scheduling for once a week.  I have also started taking some supplements to aid in digestion. I have been seeing Dr. Kallie for almost 3 months and my anxiety has improved greatly! I feel like I can breathe and assess situations clearly instead of immediately panicking. My stomach issues are still around but they have definitely reduced in severity.  I was able to see a difference daily quickly. I would say within a month I was feeling better and I hope to continue to improve even more with time. I would just encourage everyone to learn about Dr Kallie’s practice. I never would have thought that adjusting my neck and back would make a difference on my head and stomach but it definitely has, everything is connected to the spine somehow!

I came to see Dr. Kallie at the end of my rope with acid reflux. I couldn’t sleep because of the pain and constant coughing. I tried various over the counter medications and tried diet modifications as well. I was coughing constantly which really affected my quality of life and I couldn’t sleep. I had met Dr. Kallie at a fitness retreat, and had been bringing in one of my sons for care after he had a traumatic fall. I absolutely had doubts. I didn't know much about chiropractic care in general but I had no idea that anything besides back and neck pain could be helped. I started having regular chiropractic adjustments and noticed a huge improvement in just a few months. I have been seeing Dr. Kallie for a few years I think. My acid reflux is so much better. I sleep through the night and have no other major symptoms regularly. I hope my experience will encourage other people to give chiropractic a try for their acid reflux.

I started seeing Dr. Kallie after recovering from a broken leg.  The broken leg was the result of a fall that occurred due to a nerve issue that had been aggravated by a lower back issue.  The back pain had been severe prior to everything that followed. The only previous steps I took was over the counter medicine such as Tylenol. Everything in my life was affected due to the pain leading to a broken leg. Additionally, I was a lot more hesitant to do anything that I thought would reaggravate the back pain. My sister recommended seeing Dr. Kallie. I had never seen a chiropractor before, so there was some hesitation. I was brand new to chiropractic care but I have been coming for about 3 years now, receiving chiropractic adjustments. The severe pain I experienced has not come back, nor has the nerve issue. Having never seen a chiropractor before, I was skeptical at first, but have definitely noticed improvement and am glad I listened to the recommendation.

When I first came to Rise Family Chiropractic, I was experiencing severe pain in my upper middle back as well as my hips. It was getting to the point that I could not sit or walk comfortably. I took pain killers for the pain and tried stretching which failed to give relief and my condition began interfering with my ability to do my job. My coworker and friend Heather told me I needed Dr. Kallie in my life. I was hesitant about chiropractic care but I have been receiving chiropractic adjustments for a little over a year. I have improved a lot from chiropractic care. I am able to move around with little to no pain which is wonderful and I feel like I have the tools to know what is going on with my body. Prior to coming to Rise Family Chiropractic, I had not had a proper menstrual cycle in over a year. Since then I have had some and that was not something that I expected. I hope that my experience will encourage other people to find the tools, and professionals, that can allow them to feel like they have control over their body.

I was suffering from back pain and taking Tylenol and ibuprofen to try to help with the pain because the back pain touched every aspect of my life. I met Dr. Kallie through the networking group that we both attend. I did not have any doubts about chiropractic and I have been receiving regular adjustments for about 5 years. I appreciated the Gonstead method, the whole idea intrigued me, it just made sense. The original back pain is much improved and my X-rays show improvement every time. In addition, my sexual abilities were greatly improved. Much to my surprise, I might add. Try Gonstead. Worst case scenario, your mobility will be improved. Likely, other aspects of your health will improve as well. Even some that you never expected!

I have always had jobs that require physical labor; Ex: Bending down, lifting heavy items, on my knees, a lot of walking, or a lot of standing in one place. I have been experiencing back pain (from neck to lower back) since I was 13 y.o., and by my mid-20s, I had always felt my body was older than my actual age. I would take pain/relief medication regularly until I met Dr. Kallie at church. I had been skeptical about chiropractic due to past experiences, which were extremely painful; however, I needed help so I could get back to normal life. Dr. Kallie has helped me with chiropractic adjustments / supplements / nutritional counsel / lifestyle counseling. I found this care unique with patient education, x-rays, and specific adjustments. I have been seeing Dr. Kallie for 4 years now. My family and I have decided that this is a necessity in our lives due to the immense changes it has brought us. I am able to move my body with ease, work without pain, ride my motorcycle for a longer stretch of time without stopping, and I feel as if I have a new body. I also no longer take pain relief medications on a daily basis. I have gotten better sleep, have had easier bowel movements, and have more energy since being adjusted regularly. Chiropractic is not supposed to be painful, and with the Gonstead method, I have not had a single painful adjustment. I feel wonderful afterward!

For the women: Gonstead chiropractic can not only help our spines, but period cramps/pain and bowel movements as well. I had suffered from severe endometriosis, the herbal supplements and education Dr. Kallie gave me during that time in my life helped me immensely without putting harsh chemicals into my body.

I came to Rise Family Chiropractic as a last resort before a scheduled hysterectomy. I have been living with endometriosis and adenomyosis for over fifteen years and it took over ten years to get an official diagnosis. I experience every symptom of each condition, but the one that made life unbearable was the constant pelvic and sacral pain I felt. There were many days I had to crawl instead of walking because the pain was so severe. After seeing some of the leading pelvic pain specialists in the area I was told a hysterectomy was my only hope for living a somewhat pain-free life. Although it felt highly out of alignment with my values and my spirit, I scheduled the surgery. One day, while thinking about my upcoming surgery a thought popped into my head- I had never consulted with a chiropractor about my symptoms. I reached out to a friend who is passionate about female reproductive health and she referred me to Dr. Kallie. I was presenting with debilitating pelvic and sacral pain as well as pain from a serious neck injury incurred during a previous abusive relationship (that in itself is a whole other story). Combined, I was in a lot of discomfort both physically and emotionally.

Before seeing Dr. Kallie, there weren't any steps I hadn't taken to address my pain. I have been treated extensively by primary care and emergency room doctors, pelvic pain and reproductive health specialists, psychiatrists, and therapists as well as tried every medication available to treat chronic pain. When I received my neck injury in 2008, I sought chiropractic care numerous times but it was not successful in reducing my pain and in fact made me distrust the chiropractic field even more. During my struggles with endometriosis and adenomyosis I tried everything from heat therapy, to pelvic floor therapy, to lifestyle changes, to surgery and while surgery offered a few months of relief, I was completely debilitated by pain shortly after. I was exhausted and nearly hopeless. I wanted to keep my uterus but the professionals around me were encouraging me to remove it as a last ditch effort to improve my dwindling quality of life. 

My conditions have interfered with every aspect of adult life from hobbies, to work, to relationships. Professionally I have suffered job instability and job loss due to unpredictable and recurring pain flare ups. Personally, I have lost friendships and strained relationships due to my inability to show up fully and consistently. Emotionally I had lost my light. Between the chronic pain and the loss of friendships, jobs, and opportunities I was depressed and anxious, unable to participate in some of my favorite things like hanging out with friends, hiking, traveling, and even relaxing. There was a time when I felt truly hopeless and wondered if I would ever feel alive again. 

I have an amazing and trusted friend who is passionate about reproductive health, so I reached out to her for a chiropractic recommendation and she recommended Dr. Kallie, who she had seen before. I am so glad she did! 

Based on my prior negative experience with chiropractors and chiropractic care, I was extremely anxious to see another chiropractor. I felt a lot of distrust and doubt, not just in the doctor but in my own body's ability to respond to treatment. To put it mildly, I was terrified. 

I have been seeing Dr. Kallie twice weekly for adjustments. We discuss lifestyle and menstrual/hormonal health during visits, too. 

I cannot say enough good things about the Gonstead system of chiropractic care! It is so thorough and precise, with each analysis and adjustment delivering specifically what's needed at that time. 

The most amazing and noteworthy improvement is that I was able to cancel my hysterectomy and keep my uterus! I am so thrilled and unspeakably grateful that I did not have to go through with a surgery that didn't fully align with my values. Not only has Dr. Kallie addressed and treated my neck and pelvic pain, but she has been treating my nervous system and my hormones through the Gonstead technique as well. Symptoms I thought could not be treated through chiropractic care like hot flashes, sweats, anxiety, energy levels, and poor sleep have all improved. 

I have noticed much improved sleep. I used to only sleep about five hours and night and would wake up uncomfortably early. Since seeing Dr. Kallie the length and quality of my sleep has greatly improved. This has led to better focus and energy levels throughout the day. Additionally, Dr. Kallie has been generally inspiring me to lead a healthier, more holistic lifestyle. 

My greatest wish is that my story provides hope and encouragement to those that are struggling with chronic pain or disease, that there may be relief waiting for you in the form of Gonstead chiropractic care. I have spent over fifteen years frantically searching for this level of relief and after all of the doctors, specialists, surgeries, pills, set backs, let downs, and pain I have finally found it. If you are anxious or apprehensive about chiropractic care, that is valid. Dr. Kallie provides highly specialized care with an intuitive touch. I would encourage anyone to meet with a Gonstead chiropractor today.

I have suffered with severe IBS, knee issues, and trigger finger. I tried various other forms of treatment which failed to give relief. These symptoms significantly interfered with every aspect of my life. After taking xrays at Rise, I received answers to questions I have been struggling with since I was 10 years old. Since receiving Gonstead care, I have experienced so much less stress because I can control and maintain a healthy gut and not struggle with the issues of IBS. I have also noticed  better sleep and more energy. This massive change in my issues with IBS has changed my life. I have been in chiropractic care my entire life and have never had the results I have received with Dr. Kallie. She is amazing!

I first began seeing Dr. Kallie after having severe pain due to twisting in my tailbone area causing difficulty with walking, sitting, bending, turning, ect. I had been seeing a chiropractor that also practiced the Gonstead method in Iowa and seen results so when I moved to Missouri I knew I wanted to find someone who practiced the same method. 

When my low back flares up, I can’t do the things I enjoy, like going for walks with my dog and doing online barre classes. During the height of my pain/issues I couldn't do any physical activity outside of standing and laying flat on my back. My worry is always that someone will tell me my issue can't be fixed. Dr. Kallie was so kind, understanding, and informative during our initial meetings that I knew I would be taken care of and was in good hands. 

I now see Dr. Kallie for regular chiropractic adjustments as well as taking a natural supplement to help with my period pain. I never thought when having a tailbone issue that my period pain could also be helped with chiropractic care. With adjustments and supplements, Dr. Kallie has completely changed my life. I am now about to be a functioning human during my period each month without taking copious amounts of Midol and feeling absolutely miserable for four days every month. I used to have to take time off of work/school every month because I couldn't leave the house due to pain and nausea. Dr. Kallie has given me my life back.

I have not had previous chiropractic care but was skeptical after hearing other people's experience with my hometown chiropractor. I enjoy Gonstead because it is science-based and is tailored specifically for my adjustments. I enjoy seeing my progress through x-rays and Dr. Kallie takes the time to walk through what each item on my x-ray means. I have also attended her Gonstead orientation class which was extremely informative and convinced my boyfriend to also start receiving Gonstead care at Rise. I am now able to comfortably take my dog on walks, go to the gym to lift light weights/barre classes, and sit/stand and travel for my job. 

After receiving care at Rise I have found that I have better digestion, less period pain/symptoms, better sleep, and a better overall mood. I hope that my experience not only with back pain but with period pain can help someone else who doesn't know what to try. I've tried every period pain relief in the book and nothing has come close to working as well as regular chiropractic care and supplements.

Before coming to see Dr. Kallie, my spine was constantly on fire and I couldn't do much past 3:00 in the afternoon. By mid afternoon I could no longer feel my thighs because the inflammation was so high. But with regular weekly adjustments my spine no longer burns! I've been through it all - pain management, prescriptions, MRI's, CT Scans, Physical Therapy, injections, neurosurgeons, etc and NOBODY has helped me like Dr. Kallie. I didn’t doubt her one bit, I liked her approach and I thought to myself “she will actually be able to help me!” One thing I found unique about Gonstead was the extra care. Dr. Kallie is constantly looking at my x-ray and measuring my inflammation prior to doing any adjustments. She's figured out the best way to adjust me with my other health issues and every time I leave her office I feel better. I can accomplish more and my body feels better every single day thanks to Dr. Kallie! If you've never tried the Gonstead Method you are missing out - better than anything I have ever tried.

My neck would get tight. My whole body was not functioning cohesively. I had been going to different chiropractors for many years. I thought, "How different could this one be?" Dr Kallie took X-rays and scans. She found issues that I never knew existed. Within 6 weeks my entire body started to feel right. I have never felt this good, and I did not know how badly I felt, until she started fixing issues that had never been understood by previous chiropractors. Now, I am feeling great! My body feels like everything is working together correctly. If you have been to chiropractors in the past, take my word, this is nothing like you have experienced in the past.

My mobility was highly limited due to uneven hips. I had tight hip flexors and had basic movements that left affected everyday things like picking up things off the ground or putting on socks and shoes. I tried stretching and strengthening exercises, went to an orthopedic specialist, and for a time was on painkillers whenever I was active. It was all just a temporary fix at best. It affected playing basketball and my overall ability to perform basic functions. 

I was adjusted by another chiropractor in the past with no results, so I was somewhat skeptical but was willing to trust Dr. Kallie. The Gonstead method is more specific to the issue and was able to find specific adjustment areas week to week. After care I had increased mobility without pain, I could compete in sports without medication or fear of aching or swelling! I notice that I am not getting sick or allergies and I have more energy and better sleep! 

I highly encourage Rise Family Chiropractic for anyone in pain - limited wellness or even someone who is a healthy athlete! Preventative care along with a focus on problem areas has been a real game changer for my life.

I could hardly move my neck, I had pain in my lower back as well as pain in my feet and ankles. I had tried chiropractic, massage and ice as well as a hot tub. The pain hindered good sleep, walking, getting up and down or in and out of my vehicle. 

A friend told me about Dr. Kallie and I had never heard about the Gonstead Method. I was actually intrigued at a technique I knew nothing about. The different tables and adjustments given were unique. I have improved! Dr. Kallie and staff are wonderful as well as attentive and accommodating.

I had been bed bound for almost 8 weeks straight with severe low back, tailbone and nerve pain down my left leg. My pain started in August 2024, I had to stop weight lifting and by October, I could no longer play Rec volleyball. November 8th came, I tried to get out of bed and I couldn’t. By Christmas I could only stand for small amounts of time or lie on pillows on my stomach. A very good friend of mine called and got me an appointment with Kallie. 

I tried other chiropractors, pain killers, nerve meds, and costly stem cell new wave treatments. I had to quit weight lifting and basic working out at my gym, and then I had to stop playing on my rec volleyball team. I missed some of my kids' games. 

January 14th was the day that I started my road to recovery. I was skeptical, and scared because of the amount of pain I was in. I had never had a real adjustment before. Kallie treated me 2x a day everyday, for about 3 weeks, then 1x a day, and now I’m going 3x per week. Something I learned about is how cool the body is with x-rays and the attention to detail which explained how long I was suffering with this injury. Since receiving care, I’m walking, back at the gym, slowly getting back into rec volleyball, I get a full night's sleep, digestion has gotten better, and my mood is better! 

My hope for anyone that reads this, is if you think there’s no other option but surgery, or that you will just have to deal with pain for the rest of your life. Think again! Dr. Kallie’s genuine caring personality, pays attention to detail, has knowledge and ability to explain it, and has been amazing! She makes you feel like you are her family! My only regret is that I didn’t listen to my friend sooner!  Thank you Dr. Kallie!

I could barely walk or stand up straight. My right hip and leg hurts continually and locks up, I get headaches, my neck is tight and I get vertigo all due to a childhood injury that NOBODY helped me with except for Dr. Kallie. 

I have been to hell and back, seen too many doctors to list, and heard too many ignorant comments from family and friends. All of these things would affect my hobbies and work, it still does at times but I know I can trust Dr. Kallie and come and get adjusted, comforted, and treated. 

I can now walk, stand straight and not get dizzy for more than 10 minutes. I am moving and that is progress! My vertigo is 90% better and very manageable. 

My words to encourage you would be: Let God direct you, let Kallie fix you, trust in God, trust in Kallie.

I have struggled with fibromyalgia, back pain, sleep problems, and digestive issues. I had seen other chiropractors, doctors, and used prescription medications. These issues interfered with walking, exercise, work and playing with my grandchildren to some degree. After a friend referred me to Rise Family Chiropractic, I was skeptical. Usually after adjustments from other chiropractors I felt stiff and had pain the next day. 

But after receiving regular adjustments, supplements, and nutritional counseling, I feel consistent improvement! I have freedom of movement and rarely have significant pain. I can exercise and I enjoy being more active. I can keep up with all four of my grandkids. I sleep better and have more energy! 

Dr Kallie is absolutely the best chiropractor I have ever had or could imagine having! Her skill, knowledge, and compassion make every visit to her office an uplifting experience!

I came to Rise because I had constant back pain below my right shoulder. I had been seeing a different chiropractor for about 6 months and nothing was changing - if anything, my pain was becoming more severe. It was hard to fall asleep every night and I was moving slow at work. My friend and my sister said I should see Dr. Kallie. So, I had no doubts at all getting chiropractic adjustments at Rise. I like the detail of analysis, it was amazing to see the root of my pain and understand the care I would be receiving. And to experience the care working has been incredible! 

I hardly notice pain anymore, when before it would be at the forefront of my mind. I fall asleep much faster as well! Everyone should go to the chiropractor! It’s made such a difference in my physical well-being. Having a properly functioning body will affect so much more than you realize.

My son had chronic ear infections, he had prior bilateral tubes but the constant eat infections made my son very irritable. A family member recommended I see Dr. Kallie. I had no hesitations after hearing my family member's success story. Plus, after meeting Dr. Kallie or the first time, I immediately trusted her! My son started receiving regular chiropractic adjustments and now he can enjoy life more. A 6 year old boy has lots to do! One thing we didn't expect is that he would sleep better too. If you are curious about chiropractic, give Rise a try! You won’t be disappointed. I was shocked at the immediacy of our sons’ results. We wish we would have known about this option sooner.

I was having chronic neck/shoulder pain, discomfort & tension, along with routine migraines. I tried massage therapy and other chiropractic care - both helped immediately but the results never lasted. The root of the problem was never identified/addressed. When I experiences migraines it was extremely challenging to work or do anything with my kids. It would pretty much knock me out for the day. 

After seeing the results my son had after we started taking him to see Dr. Kallie, I had no doubt this would help me. I appreciated the education Dr. Kallie provides. The x-rays allowed her to identify the root of my problems, which happened to be in a different location than where my symptoms presented.

I have a lot less stress/tension - affecting all areas of my life positively! Receiving regular care has helped my overall general well-being. Please give this approach a try! My family has had such positive results. Not enough doctors talk about chiropractic care as an option and it had been life changing for us.

I had a lot of pain in my whole back, neck, and feet due to standing 40 hours a week on concrete for work. I tried pain relievers, sports massagers, different types of shoes, insoles, and even bought a posture corrector/trainer. It sometimes would make everyday activities very uncomfortable. My husband referred me to Dr. Kallie. I didn't have any doubts, I’ve been saying I need to see a chiropractor for years but I just kept putting it off. 

Since coming, standing and moving at work is easier and significantly less painful. I’m more apt to move around and do needed tasks at home instead of lounging on the couch all the time. I didn’t expect this but I have less digestive issues! 

Sometimes pain just means your body needs alignment, just like the steering system on your car - go to a chiropractor and see how much it changes you for the better!

I had lower back pain that radiated down my right leg. Any time I would exercise (running, etc) it would get aggravated to a point where I had to stop. I had been to other chiropractors, tried a pain center for a time, tried heat and ice therapy, and I used pain medication to sleep. Regular exercise is important to me and the pain hindered this. In addition there were many nights it would wake me up. 

I found Rise online, and at first I was skeptical that this was different from the other chiropractors I had been to. I have been getting adjustments regularly and I like the fact that there is a regular assessment of what is going on as well as looking at the x-rays. I think this provides a better picture of what is really happening. 

I can exercise more regularly and the pain has lessened to where it doesn't wake me up at night! I am more regular in terms of exercise and good sleep, therefore I  have more energy during the day.

I really do believe in health and wellness being key to living a better life as you age. Trying chiropractic care can be a scary thought but I can attest to the benefits! And for me it is a way better alternative to surgery or constant medication. Everyone should try it!

I had soreness in my neck, shoulders, and back. This condition has been since highschool due to sports. I had been regularly going to a chiropractor while in indiana. When I moved to Missouri, I didn’t think about going. My condition didn't really interfere with everyday life because I would always push through the pain. I used to think it was just soreness from the last workout. My wife had been seeing Dr. Kallie for a couple months and suggested I go. 

I was skeptical about realignment through “popping” because this had not worked in the past. But it has proven to be effective with the Gonstead technique. I have been getting adjustments regularly and I like the patient education that goes with this style of chiropractic treatment. Additionally, the details or analysis and how other systems may be affected by misalignment.

Since getting regular adjustments, the stiffness and soreness in my neck, back, and shoulders have subsided! My posture and gait (walking and running) feels better too! I’ve also been sleeping better since starting care at Rise. 

Visiting a chiropractor can be nerve-racking, but with the Gonstead Method, you won't regret your decision. Dr. Kallie’s expertise in this technique and her understanding of how soreness/tightness can affect various functions can significantly improve your life! Having been to three other chiropractors, I can confidently say that trying the Gonstead method with Dr. Kallie is a great choice - you won't regret it!

I have had lower back pain and neck pain since highschool but I didn't think much of it until college. I started working in a hospital and I would be on my feet all day/night and no matter how I stretched or moved the pain would persist. I would go home and be unable to get comfortable or wake up SO sore. It was affecting my sleep and overall body mechanics at my job. I had athletic trainers give me stretches when I was in school. After college I tried a massage therapist, but both would only last about a week before the tension would build up again. 

Two of the biggest things my pain interfered with was my ability to enjoy working or physical exercise and my ability to do my job with safe body mechanics.

I had never been to a chiropractor before because I thought it was just “popping” and that it wouldn't help because I could pop my back on my own. But then a friend explained how it is MUCH more than that! I’ve been getting regular adjustments and nutritional counsel at Rise. I love the amount of education I get! I am an RN, so being able to understand my care is huge! 

I am able to stand on my feet at work and not have tightness in my back and neck. I have also been able to enjoy biking and walking again! I have been able to fall asleep and stay asleep so much better. I am able to get comfortable quicker and stay asleep with less pain. The better sleep aids in better energy during the day and at work.

I love the team at Rise! Dr. Kallie always explains what and why she is doing something. She offers great advice with lifestyle changes to better your healing. I used to be skeptical but now I recommend her to everyone!

I was desperately in need of care! The physical demands of my job at the time, while not extreme in the slightest, would leave me with aches and pains frequently. I was taking pain meds and seeing a non-Gonstead chiropractor. I met Dr. Kallie at the church I was going to at the time. I had no doubts about trying the Gonstead Method. I had experience with chiropractors before and loved the idea of a more hands on approach! I love the education and specific adjustments.

With regular adjustments, I feel more in tune with my body and like it is actually functioning properly. I have less stiffness/better mobility! If you are uncertain about it, you’ll never know if you never try it! Better quality of life is within reach. Just book an appointment and grab it!

I’ve had consistent back pain and back issues since I was a younger teen and into adulthood. I started seeing Dr. Kalli for issues with my low back and continued care through a car accident and into maintenance care. I had seen several other chiropractors (none were Gonstead) and tried PT and stretching on my own. My pain never stopped me from being able to do anything but definitely made sitting for long periods and physical activity uncomfortable. 

I had no doubts about the effectiveness of chiropractic but I had never seen a Gonstead chiropractor. I started getting regular adjustments and supplements. I love how specific it is to my body, it makes a huge difference for me and the effectiveness of my adjustments. 

I am able to work harder in the gym without discomfort and sit for long periods at work. I have more energy and better digestion! 

I can’t recommend Dr. Kallie enough. She is unlike any chiropractor I’ve ever seen. Her care is a level of detail and comprehensive I have never experienced before!

I had lower back pain, mid-back pain, severe migraines, constant foot pain, and constipation. I was taking all kinds of over-the-counter pain killers. I am a first-grade teacher, and found myself having trouble keeping up with the kids. I knew chiropractic could help with my back pains, however I had no idea it would alleviate my years-long battle with migraines and constipation. What was also surprising to me was that chiropractic even improved my walking. I can walk without my hips and my feet hurting. I have not had a migraine since my second week of treatment, so I do not take pain killers anymore. My heartburn, which I used to have constantly and on a daily basis, is almost nonexistent. I sleep much better. I used to toss and turn constantly, it felt almost unbearable sleeping on my back, but now I sleep through the night. 

I'll tell you what Dr. Kallie told me the day she diagnosed me, "there is always hope."
