I first came to Sleigh Family Chiropractic because I was experiencing severe pain and stiffness in my upper back, neck, and right shoulder. I tried everything to deal with the discomfort - mostly by taking lots of ibuprofen! A friend of mine had been seeing Dr. Katie for severe lower back pain and was now doing great! I was able to visibly see the change! She strongly recommended that I make an appointment. She could not say enough good things about both Dr. Katie and Dr. Quintin! I was in so much constant pain and discomfort, that just hearing that there was hope made me so excited. I made an appointment right away. From my first consultation with Dr. Katie, I knew that she was going to help me! In fact, I left the office that day feeling so positive! I was thinking, not only will I finally be pain free, but I felt so hopeful about my overall wellness. I felt that, finally, I had found a doctor who listened to what I was saying, who cared, who wanted to help me feel better, and who seemed excited to get me on the path of good health - all that AND she was going to help me correct the problems causing my pain! I was also pleasantly surprised at how comfortable the office was! The staff is exceptionally welcoming and kind and always make me feel like I am at home. It’s the first time in my life that I look forward to going to the doctor! I have been seeing Dr. Katie (and Dr. Quintin) for about 5 months. My shoulder/neck pain and stiffness is now gone! It didn’t happen overnight - I had to commit to my appointments and to doing the exercises recommended - but it was worth it! The pain is gone….and without any medication! I could not be happier! And even though the pain is what brought me to Dr. Katie, I have experienced so many other health benefits since I started getting adjusted! I have more energy, I sleep better, I have less anxiety, my menstrual pain has been greatly reduced, and even my blood pressure readings are lower! I have gained a better understanding of my health. I feel more connected to my body and what is happening to it. As I work on my biggest battle - obtaining a healthy weight – I know that sticking with my adjustments, following the advice provided by Dr. Katie and Dr. Quintin, and staying tuned into my health and my body, I will get there! I cannot thank Dr. Katie and Dr. Quentin enough for how much they have helped me and for what they have taught me about what it means to be take care of myself naturally! My adjustments are now just a part of my wellness routine – I only wish that I had known about the benefits of chiropractic medicine – and especially Sleigh Family Chiropractic - sooner!

Dr. Katie and Quintin have changed the way I look at life! Prior to becoming one of their patients, I had gone to several different Chiropractors since my years (and many injuries) cheerleading in High School. I had a negative view of chiropractors and thought all of them only did the type of adjustments where they yanked and cracked your back and neck. At Sleigh Family they do quick adjustments where they use drop tables instead of twisting and pulling which in my mind is a lot less scary and much more effective. I met Dr. Katie and Quintin while they were giving a speech on health. I was very intrigued by their belief that you need to focus on the overall health of a person instead of just on symptom reduction as many doctors do. It really makes sense to me that symptoms let us know something is wrong and just covering them up does not help solve what is causing them. At the time I didn’t think I was in a lot of real pain so it took me a while to schedule an appointment. After writing many graduate papers and spending long hours studying I decided I needed an adjustment. From the first time I walked in the door I felt like everyone was so friendly and the place very welcoming. Dr. Katie did a very complete initial exam, which surprised me because the chiropractors I was used to in the past just asked me where my pain was, adjusted me, and sent me out the door not to see them again until I was in pain. I was impressed at how she really listened and paid attention to my whole health history and all of the things that concerned me. She really opened my eyes up to see that I wasn’t really feeling as well as I could. For a long time I had suffered from horrible headaches for which I had seen many doctors and had everything from blood tests to MRIs. I also had bad allergies and stomach issues for many years. Now I feel great and very rarely get a headache. Even when I feel that I may be getting a cold I go straight to them for an adjustment instead of going to the doctor like I used to. It really makes sense to me that your spine is so vital to keeping you healthy and feeling good and anything that compromises it can lead you have pain and weaken your immune system. I recommended to everyone I know and meet to at least go through the initial exams. I feel like everyone could benefit from at least knowing how well their bodies are actually functioning as a whole.

I first went to Sleigh Family Chiropractic on the recommendation of a co-worker. I have had chronic low back pain on and off for over 10 years due to a herniated disk in my lower lumbar resulting from a fall, and mild scoliosis (15 degrees). Over the years I have had 4 cortisone injections, several stints in physical therapy, and one 6-week program with a different chiropractor. It was that other chiropractor back around 08 that turned me off of chiropractics. It did not help at all and she was more interested in sticking acupuncture needles all over my body (didnt do anything for my back pain!). However, after a recent PT failure, I tried Sleigh Family Chiropractic. Best decision ever! I found out that my "mild" scoliosis was actually 39 degrees! Within 4 weeks of treatment, I was FEELING results. After PT, the muscle in my back from my waist to the top of my ribs was so tight and painful - constantly. The Physical Therapist never took X-rays, so she missed the severity of my scoliosis, putting me through manual manipulations that actually caused that muscle pain. Dr. Katie set up a progressive program that has really worked for me. I went from an initial pain level of 8 to a 1 after 8 weeks/3x per week. Scheduling appts in advance that fit my schedule was so easy and they gave me a CD of my X-rays and scans. Dr. Katie really cares about her patients and their families. Shes even given me (welcomed!) advice on my childrens health and diet. She is honest about the results she expects to see and gave me a clear understanding of my role in improving my back health. I am so glad a gave Chiropractics a second chance - with the RIGHT Chiropractor!

I began seeing Dr. Katie at Sleigh Family Chiropractic when I was 32 weeks pregnant with a large breech baby. I was hoping for a VBAC, so it was essential to get the baby to flip in order to avoid another c-section. Dr. Katie took time to fully explain the course of treatment and with three visits a week for the next four weeks and exercises to do at home, by 36 weeks, the baby had flipped! The adjustments were extremely comfortable and mild. Beyond helping the baby flip, my lower back and hips felt much better as my pregnancy progressed, compared to my first pregnancy. In addition to the successful flip, I am still going three times a week to ensure optimal pelvic alignment and positioning of the baby in the hopes of a successful VBAC. If you are pregnant, looking for more comfort, help flipping a breech baby, or alignment for a VBAC, Sleigh Family Chiropractic is a wonderful place to go. Every member of the staff is friendly and helpful. I was so impressed with their level of care that I began taking my 2 year old son (who loves getting his back "tickled" by Dr. Katie) to help with fluid in his ears/ear infections and snoring. After just a few visits, he barely snores and his pediatrician confirmed his ears were "perfect" and the discussion of tubes could be dropped. I also plan on having my newborn adjusted. I trust Sleigh Family Chiropractic so much, that I have put my children in their care! Maybe the name of the practice is "Sleigh Family" because Drs. Quintin and Katie are married, or maybe because they treat families/all ages, but I think it is largely because they focus of giving honest and kind care, as if each patient was family!!
