Patient Testimonials
"The once a month visits have kept my back from going out for 1 ½ years. I would recommend this schedule to everyone.
These treatments have helped me greatly, and when I do "over do it" my healing time and pain level are much lower than when I did not come once a month!"

"I used to have headaches daily, since I've started chiropractic treatments I may have a headache once a month. These treatments have made my daily life a lot easier.
Thank you Dr. Kohl and employees for helping me with my headaches. My family and students also appreciate your help because now I'm always in a better mood and headache free."

"I originally sought out chiropractic care because my neck was hurting so bad I couldn't sleep. Within several visits that was feeling much better and as I continued with maintenance visits over the years we dealt with other issues. My job as a programmer keeps me sitting for hours and I am not as active as I should be, so they've helped me through several mid and lower back issues. When my left shoulder start losing mobility, Dr Kohl got me doing therapy which got it moving again very quickly. That was during an especially busy time in my life and they were great working with my schedule. I've injured my knee twice and they've helped with that. I also believe that regular neck and wrist/hand adjustments have kept me from getting carpel tunnel. My hands used to ache, especially at night. I don't have much trouble with them now.I also suffered (and still do to a much lesser extent) a condition called Costochondritis(inflammation of the ribs and the cartilage in the ribcage). While I don't think chiropractic can cure it, I firmly believe it helps. Soon after I started chiropractic I stopped taking Celebrex which I had taken for about year.Very early on they recommended a massage session and I was hooked. The combination of a once a month adjustment and a once a month massage has been the right combination.
I believe chiropractic has a place in everyone's health care and Reynoldsburg Chiropractic has been a God-send for me."

The word chiropractic comes from the Greek words, "chiro," meaning hand, and "practic," meaning practice, or treatment. Thus, "treatment by hand" is an appropriate definition since chiropractors typically use their hands to manipulate different parts of the body in an effort to promote healing and wellness.
A chiropractor, also known as a doctor of chiropractic (D.C.), diagnoses and treats a broad range of physical conditions in patients with muscular, nervous, and skeletal problems, especially the spine.
A branch of the healing arts concerned with disease processes, chiropractic care is a recognized form of therapy that focuses on improving your overall health and well-being without the use of drugs or surgery.
Chiropractors make use of conventional diagnostic tests, such as X-rays, MRIs, and lab work, as well as specific procedures that involve manipulation by hand of various parts of the body. Chiropractors are best known for their ability to correct misalignments of the spine, which are called subluxations. But spinal manipulation is only a small part of what chiropractors do as part of an overall plan to relieve pain and mitigate many kinds of ailments. Other kinds of treatments chiropractors are capable of providing include:
- Acupuncture
- Electric muscle stimulation
- Exercise therapy
- Heat/cold therapy
- Herbal therapy
- Lifestyle and nutrition counseling
- Manipulation under anesthesia
- Massage
- Physical rehabilitation
- Physiotherapy
- Stress management
- Traction
- Ultrasound
Best known for their treatment of back and neck pain, chiropractors sometimes specialize in areas such as sports medicine, orthopedics, neurology, nutrition, internal disorders, and diagnostic imaging. Many back specialists consider chiropractic an integral part of an overall care plan toward treating injury and disease.
