These guys (and gals!) are simply amazing. Never believed in chiropractic care before them, but went in one day in desperation after years of extreme back pain that had been unsuccessfully treated by a number of different medical specialists (internal medicine, rheumatology, spine clinic; I tried everything short of surgery). 6 weeks later I was a different person... I was able to regain so much of my life that I had lost to back pain over several years; my athletic pursuits, the quality of time spent with my children, the quality of my sleep and relaxation time.. the list goes on. Dr. Kary and staff did what modern medicine was unable to do for me. Instead of bouncing from one area of the body to another trying to find the right prescription or treatment for whatever specific part a given physician specializes in, Dr. Kary and staff are intent on understanding and treating the whole person. You dont feel like a patient there; rather, you are a part of a larger group comprised of the staff and other patients that are all working to feel better. This community atmosphere was a tremendous help to me in staying motivated to help myself and was one of my favorite parts of the holistic approach that I have found to be unique to Dr. Kary and the staff at Healthsource. Most importantly--and I cant stress this enough--they listen. When you are in the exam room, theyre not typing stuff into a computer or looking at their watch or behaving in any number of other disengaged ways that I have experienced with primary care physicians and other specialists. Rather, Dr. Kari and staff make you feel like you are the only patient they have for the entire time you are in there; and they are in there with you as long as you need them to be. No question is ever brushed off or made to seem silly or irrelevent; their attitude is, if its important to our patient, its important to us. I do not write online reviews often, let alone positive ones, but it would be a travesty to NOT share my experience with Healthsource Suburban in the hopes that it may help even one other person in a similar situation find their way to Dr. Kari. It is with great pleasure and tremendous gratitude that I recommend Dr. Kari and the staff at Healthsource Suburban to everyone I know.

When I first came in to HealthSource I had pain in my neck that caused severe headaches. I cracked my neck constantly to relieve pressure, and frequently had trouble sleeping and concentrating. As a student, I do a lot of reading and note taking. There were times when my headaches and the pain in my neck made concentrating on these tasks impossible. I like to run and play tennis, there were days where my neck pain was so severe that my physical activities were very limited. Before starting at HealthSource, I saw a chiropractor who wasnt receptive to my needs. I would ice, and take tylenol to relieve the pain. At HealthSource, the exercises have helped my body to hold adjustments longer. Dr. Kary adjusts me differently depending on what is bothering me, as opposed to adjusting me the same every time(like my previous chiropractor). Since starting at HeathSource I feel much better! My debilitating headaches are few and far between. And I dont feel the need to crack my own neck anymore. I love the HealthSource staff. They are all so committed to helping me feel better, and they make HealthSource a fun environment. They staff at HealthSource Saint Paul is the best!

I was in a motor vehicle accident about 3 years ago and then another about 2 years ago. I was unable to stand up or walk with out excruciating pain. I was told that my pain was permanent and that medication was to be taken for the rest of my life. I then was referred to a spinal surgeon who told me at the young age of 19 years old that surgery was the only option I had left. Following my second accident I began treating at HealthSource twice a week and my pain was still to the point where i would cry during my workday because the pain was that bad. After about 3 months Dr. Kary suggested something called decompression to add to my regular adjustments. I was skeptical at first but when your only option is surgery I was willing to do anything. That was 2 years ago, its safe to say this place changed my life. I am now walking, running, jogging, living again! If you are in pain or know someone who is I wouldnt send you any where else. I am forever grateful for the care and compassion the HealthSource team has shown me.

I first came in for low back pain because of a hockey injury. It limited my range of motion and ability to perform in sporting activities. It made life very difficult as I wasnt able to perform physical activities without experiencing pain for months on end. In the past I used heat, stretching, and anti-inflamatories per doctors recommendations with out much improvement. The plan set forth by Dr. Kary and the other doctor used weekly adjustments, hands on massage, and helpful stretching to get me back to normal. Now, not only my back but my over all posture and general state of health are better than before I had an injury! I am able to function better and more efficiently in all facets of life now. The doctors are great in evaluating my condition, creating a plan of care, and executing it. The entire staff is friendly and professional; I love coming in every week!
