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."

Whiplash is probably one of the most misunderstood and misaligned kinds of injuries; people involved in automobile accidents often suspect they have whiplash if they feel any kind of soreness in their neck. This is not to diminish the fact that whiplash is quite a common and potentially serious kind of injury incurred in automobile collisions.
What is whiplash? Whiplash is an injury to the cervical spine, or neck, and occurs when the muscles and other soft tissues are hyperextended or hyperflexed.
Most instances of whiplash occur during a front-end or rear-end automobile collision. The force of the vehicle being struck or striking another object are quite powerful, and can cause the neck muscles, ligaments, and tendons to twist and turn with incredible, unnatural force. These tissues, which are stretched far beyond their natural limits, can become torn and, in some cases, permanently damaged. In addition, vertebral discs in the cervical spine can bulge, tear, and rupture.
Symptoms of whiplash may include one or more of the following:
- Blurred vision or dizziness
- Ear ringing
- General stiffness
- Headaches, especially behind the eyes
- Nausea
- Numbness, or burning, piercing and/or radiating pain in the neck, jaw, face, shoulders (and between the shoulder blades), and arms, which is usually a sign of a muscle or ligament tear.
- Pain in any of the extremities
- Sharp pains when moving an extremity, such as an arm or finger (a possible sign of disc damage).
- Swallowing difficulty
Many people who incur whiplash are treated with a device called a cervical collar, a soft cushion that envelopes the neck and keeps the weight of the head from applying undue pressure to damaged tissues during the healing process.
