Chiropractors Are Stupid!

Home » chiropractors are bullshit

My arteries are clogged and my chest hurt badly. The MD told me I needed to exercise for 60 minutes a day, every day, and have routine physical exams to prevent a heart attack. I exercised once, and I hurt worse. I won’t be going back.

Stupid doctor!

I had a great experience at Truspine. The Doctors were very knowledgeable about tendons and muscles and I just wasn't getting the help I needed from my medical doctor. They did help me with my pain.

Dr Shah is very caring and professional. The swelling on my neck has reduced a lot after the first treatment. Highly recommended.

I came to Truspine because of a recent sports-related lower back injury. I had never been to a chiropractor before.Dr. Shah was able to diagnose and identify the cause of the injury and made my back and entire body feel great afterwards! I’m looking forward to my next visit and seeing how things improve over time.Thank you Dr. Shah and the entire Truspine staff! I’ll be back!

As a marathon runner, I rely heavily on my body being in peak condition. After a serious bike accident in March where I broke my clavicle, seven ribs, and punctured a lung, I had to stop running for two months. During my recovery, I experienced a lot of soreness and tightness from my hips down to my feet, particularly in my tibialis. That’s when I started seeing Dr. KJ Estudillo, and I couldn't be more grateful for his expertise.I've been seeing Dr. Estudillo twice a week, and he has been instrumental in getting me back on my feet—literally. He’s worked diligently to relieve my discomfort and has been a key part of my recovery as I ramp up my mileage in preparation for my next marathon. Not only is he a skilled chiropractor, but he is also incredibly caring, nice, and friendly. He genuinely listens to your concerns and tailors his approach to meet your specific needs.If you're dealing with body aches or need adjustments, I highly recommend Dr. Estudillo. He’s been a game-changer in my recovery, and I’m confident he can help others too!

Amazing practice! I set back-to-back appointments for Acupuncture with Dr. Philip and Chiropractic with Dr. KJ regularly to manage aches and stress and I always come out feeling like I have a brand new body. Highly recommended!

Dr KJ is empathetic, personable and very clear when describing treatment options. His interview technique felt almost conventional, which I found refreshing. Probing but relaxed.I hadn’t been to a chiropractor in decades and found him to be easy going, while precise and thorough. A rare combination!

Both Dr. Shah and Dr. Brandon are amazing. For a year, we've been going to the clinic and can say they truly care about you and do whatever it takes to help you. There is also a wide range of equipment in the clinic they use to ensure you feel better. Highly recommend.

Dr. Shah and his team of hands-on healers are amazing! I feel great relief when I go in for my chiropractic appointments and they are always running on time. Dr. Shah is very personable and takes the time to talk and not rush our time together. I always feel great up on leaving and I'm very grateful for their convenient location. Been going to Dr. Shah for two years and will continue to regularly. Highly recommend!

I hesitate to write this because I don’t want you taking my appointment slot ;) but.... Dr Shaw is the best & the world deserves to feel good. Great bedside manner, trusting energy, and fantastic non forceful adjustments. He’s so good, I followed him to his new location (twice). He just added a new doctor that dare I say… is equally good.

I was recently in the Bay Area on a cruise, and my back was really bad, and I was mostly bed bound. I found Dr. Shah and Truspine through a Google search, and the 5 star rating completed me to schedule an appointment.Dr. Shah was fantastic and helped to get me back onto the road to recovery. The next day, I was able to get off the ship and walk over a mile. It was my first day in a week where I could walk without tremendous pain.Here I am 2 months later, and my back is back to normal and fully out of pain.Thank you for seeing me and for your follow-up since my appointment.When I make it back to the Bay Area, I'll stop by for another visit!

If you want your life back go to TruSpine. I’ve seen Dr Reh and Dr Fein and they are both fantastic. They listen, care, and are truly along on the journey with you. Can’t say enough positive things about TruSpine.

For over two years, I’ve been treated by Hayley Jackson, an acupuncturist at TruSpine, and the experience has been transformative. She has a calming spirit and creates a soothing atmosphere that makes each session a pleasure. Her professionalism and genuine care are evident in her tailored treatments and the significant improvements in my well-being (and actually my fertility as well). I highly recommend Hayley for her unique blend of expertise and compassion.

I recently had the pleasure of visiting Truspine for a series of sessions, and I can confidently say that it was a life-changing experience. From the moment I stepped into the clinic, I was greeted warmly by the front desk and made to feel comfortable and at ease.The expertise and professionalism were evident from the start. Not only did the team take the time to listen attentively to my concerns and medical history, but also conducted a thorough examination to pinpoint the root cause of my discomfort. The approach was holistic, focusing on not just treating symptoms but also promoting overall wellness and balance.The targeted techniques alleviated my pain and improved my mobility significantly. What truly stood out to me was the dedication to educating me about posture, ergonomics, and lifestyle adjustments that would support my long-term health.The atmosphere at Truspine is calming and inviting, making each visit a pleasant experience. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always ready to assist.I highly recommend Truspine to anyone seeking effective, compassionate chiropractic care. Thanks to the expertise and personalized approach, I feel revitalized and empowered to take charge of my well-being.

This practice is phenomenal! Philip was my acupuncturist, and it was a delight to have a session with him. He is very educational and informative, walking you through his educational history, his decisions, and his care suggestions. The facility is very nice as well! Top of the line machines and cleanliness.

This is the best practice in San Francisco, hands down. Jonathan at the front desk begins and ends every visit with the most lovely, genuine and warm positive energy. Through chiropractic and acupuncture services, Drs. Fein and Reh have changed my body, my outlook and my overall well-being. Those aches and pains that we think are just about getting older? Gone. You forget how it feels to wake up and just feel *good*. I’m back to running again, my mental health has improved, I couldn’t be more grateful for their care and expertise. And they’re covered by insurance! Couldn’t recommend this whole practice more highly.

Alice Wu

What a lovely spot for healing! Dr. Brandon Fein has a terrific manner in dealing with patients: smart and thoughtful answers, and caring demeanor. You can tell he will go the extra mile to help you heal. Jonathan at the front desk is a joy. So warm and hilarious. Highly recommend!

When I came in to see Philip I was in so much pain it hurt to walk. Philip told me he could help me but I would hate him after the next day. He was wrong. I was able to golf the next morning. once he relieved the knots in my back I never felt better. If anyone out there is in back pain there’s only one person I would go to and that’s Philip. Thanks again for healing me. Dorian Burke.

Dr. Philip Reh and Dr. Shah are amazing and I think the best in their field! I appreciate the care and expertise to treat the underlying root causes. You can tell they care. Dr Shah is so thorough each visit and you leave with a plan everytime, which I appreciate. The visits are never rushed and ensures all your questions are answered. Dr Philip Reh has completely changed my view on acupuncture with their knowledge and techniques on how to treat sciatica! Every visit is tailored to your needs! I travel 30 minutes past a dozen chiropractors because of the experience and care here.

STOP 🚫 STOP ⛔ STOP ⛔ 🚫 🚫 🚫 STAY AWAY FROM THIS FAKE CHIRO CHIRACHPTOR (Truspine chirochroper )"BEWARE! I urge everyone to steer clear of Truspine Chirochropter located at 150 Lombard St, San Francisco. This establishment is a complete sham.My experience with Truspine was deeply disappointing and frustrating. Firstly, they engage in false and misleading advertising. They boast a promotional rate on their website and social media, claiming to reduce the regular price from $75 to $47. However, upon my arrival, the front desk agent insisted on charging me the full $75. This deceptive practice is unacceptable.Furthermore, my scheduled appointment at 12:30 PM turned into a complete disaster due to their mishandling of the scheduling process. I was subjected to an excruciating wait of over an hour and a half. To make matters worse, the front desk agent required me to change my payment method before granting me a new appointment, while others were given the flexibility to pay later. This unequal treatment is infuriating.To add insult to injury, the front desk agent, after charging me, abandoned their post, leaving me stranded without anyone to address my concerns or provide vital information about my appointment. This utter lack of accountability and communication compounded my frustration.Considering the deceitful practices, egregious waste of time, and complete disregard for fair treatment, I implore everyone to avoid Truspine San Francisco chiropractor. Their lack of authenticity and dependability is indisputable. It is my moral duty to share my terrible experience and warn others about this unscrupulous establishment that prioritizes financial gain over honest service."STOP 🚫 STOP ⛔ STOP ⛔ 🚫 🚫 🚫 STAY AWAY FROM THIS FAKE CHIRO CHIRACHPTOR (Truspine chirochroper )

I can't praise Dr. Supreet Shah and the Truspine clinic enough! I had been suffering from chronic elbow pain for quite some time, and Dr. Supreet's expertise, along with Electric Shockwave Therapy and his other techniques, has worked wonders. The relief I've experienced is nothing short of amazing. Scheduling is very simple and I would highly recommend them to anyone seeking effective pain relief. Five stars all the way!

Great experience and results! Dr. Shah is a great listener and looking to dig deeper into the cause and effect of body issues. He applies several different methods of treatment to the issues, including exercises that I need to do to also help myself. He is looking to solve the problem and not just treat the pain. I'm looking forward to continuing my mobility journey with Dr. Shah!

Robert Pirritano is great I've had over 10 years of back pain due to an accident I had 10 years ago. He helped me so much on the first visit that I was almost completely free of pain and I left with lots of energy. He also gave me instruction and great stretching techniques for me to do at home to keep the pain at bay. He is a great man and I will be going to him from now on. Fein is also really great my knee has been hurting since August due to a fall he helped me so much with pain and discomfort I will continue going to him. Dr. Fein keep up the great work

TruSpine is a great Place for Chiropractic treatment. The Chiropractic Doctors are very knowledgeable and have good feed back to share for better care of the body. I know when I go in for an adjustment my posture is reset. I walk with more ease and flexibility and less lower back pain after 1 to 2 adjustments a week. Highly recommended five star care.

Dr Shah was very skillful in what he does and he does a thorough assessment first, explains everything before he does it and I felt so much better after my appointment. The front desk was courteous and efficient as well as the appointment started punctually. I would go again for multiple sessions and I highly recommend to everyone who needs a Chiropractor adjustment. Keep doing what you’re doing Truspine!

I’m still in some pain, but able to move and enjoy my vacation while here! Very warm and caring staff, would highly recommend.
