#1 WINNER – ROBERT JOHN BUTLER

The potential for chiropractors in 2018 will be harder to quantify than ever before. This is most definitely a good problem to have and a direct result of the expansion of chiropractic care into the healthcare field. Some of the main revolutions in Chiropractic have been in sports, research, and politics. Some of these I have seen first hand. Politically, I attended the CalChiro Lobby Day event meeting with state senators pushing chiropractic as a solution for the Opioid Crisis. Efforts from those like me have seen progress such as in West Virginia where a law now requires patients to seek alternative treatment prior to being able to be prescribed opioids. Other efforts politically have been the Travel to Treat bill, this is something Dr. Ted Forcum along with ACA Sports Council has been pushing for which is looking to pass a Senate Vote to become law allowing Chiropractors and other medical professionals to treat athletes across state lines. In sports, Chiropractic is being pushed forward with Organizations like FICS, which is preparing for the World Games that are going to be held in Alabama, a tremendous opportunity for chiropractic care in sports performance to be highlighted. In research, Dr. Meeker has recently come back from a summit and informed students of RAND studies, a highly prestigious research organization, finishing a major project with the Department of Defense showing how Chiropractic and Exercise benefits Active Duty soldiers more so than just exercise alone. These advances along with many others are what is contributing to this potential.

The current healthcare model is not conducive to the needs of the population, low back pain is one of the most expensive costs that affect major companies and the cost of medical doctors continues to rise. These trends have been noticed and companies are starting to employ team chiropractors to treat workers and assess office setups in regards to today’s current ergonomic practices. Insurance companies are starting to pay out more to Chiropractors as those For-Profit companies are realizing the cost-effectiveness of the care that we as Doctors can provide. 2018 is going to be a year of trends continuing and the scope of the vision of what people perceive Chiropractic to be will continue to increase.

My chiropractic philosophy is to spread the profession of chiropractic through the art and organization of sport. I have learned from well-known Doctors such as Scott Calzaretta, Taylor Rabbetz, Ted Forcum, Supreet Shah, Hal Rosenberg, David Hicks, and Brian Nook. I plan on working with the FICS to propel Chiropractic as a staple in areas of sports performance such as World Championships, the World Games, and the Olympics. My dream is to attend the Olympics as a Doctor of Chiropractic. My areas of interest in practice are Oregon, California, Colorado, and Massachusetts. I have moved throughout my life and spent time living in each area, however, I plan on being a dynamic Doctor. I believe I will go to where I am needed most whether it be on a mission trip or internationally spreading the profession as best I can.

#2 – KORISSA RAMAGE

The current health model in relation to chiropractic is a work in progress, to say the least. Chiropractic is a profession that has been planted in the soil but is still growing and establishing its roots. In the state of California, the problem goes back to how the profession was written into the healthcare world, as a vote of the people. This makes change very difficult, but not impossible. But, our profession is still gaining traction and awareness.

The Travel to Treat bill is a great example of how the doctors of our profession stood up for what should be right and made it happen through Congress. Our strides with the Veteran Affairs is another great example of how we are growing, but still, need help to perfect our stride. We have welcomed health care providers in the Veteran Affairs, now we just need to keep the momentum up and get more doctors into more locations nation-wide. Hopefully, these bills will be the first of many to set the profession in a forward motion.

As a student, I hope the potential for chiropractors includes being incorporated in the loan forgiveness pool to assist those in less wealthy areas of the country. It is very difficult as a student with so much debt to peruse a career in these areas of the country but unfortunately, these are the people who need us the most. It would be not only beneficial for the graduates and members of those communities, but also the health care system as a whole. If we could be added to the loan forgiveness pool alongside medical doctors, nurses, physical therapists, and dentists to name a few, we could help reduce the cost of health care spending and help the everyday worker with their low back pain and other related ailments.

In the end, it is ultimately it is up to us to hold the standards of our profession high. This means keeping the patient in the center of our focus and to continue researching to establish our place in the healthcare profession. We need to continue to produce strong, solid evidence in our practices that will allow other health care professionals to see the value in our techniques, and we need to band together as a profession if we want to establish ourselves in organizations like the Olympics. That means we need membership in organizations like the ACA and Cal Chiro to maintain accountability of the individual doctor. In Canada, the practicing doctor pays a mandatory fee to keep their license in their province. This may be a way to keep those doctors accountable to their license and their practice and could potentially be a way to keep doctors tied closer to their governing associations. What most of us don’t understand is that these organizations need funding and manpower to make change happen for us all. What is the potential of the chiropractor in 2018? The road is laid out in front of us all, and the potential is in the hands of those who want to push for a better future of our profession.’

#3 – CHEYENNE MCCARTHY

Chiropractic is an amalgam of philosophy, science, and art. The discipline relies on a conviction in chiropractic’s therapeutic abilities, the implicit trust that the patient places in the doctor, and faith in the patient to participate in his or her own health. It encompasses confidence, kindness, perseverance, and optimism. I resonate with each of these values and am committed to embodying them in my personal and professional life. Even better, patients appreciate their doctor expressing genuine care for their welfare. A significant challenge to chiropractic in our current medically based health model is effectively communicating those benefits to a wider audience. In short, chiropractic needs successful advertising that appeals to potential patients as a drug-free method to combat—and prevent—many afflictions. Unfortunately, we live amidst the era of popular prescription drugs and other toxins. The abounding rate of obesity, heart disease, and cancer in America is simply alarming! Thankfully, the opioid crisis has been federally recognized as a national health concern, but we still have a long journey ahead of us. A large section of the population prefers to “pop a pill” or treat symptoms, rather than address and prevent the root cause of pain, disease, or discomfort through mindful holistic lifestyle patterns. Furthermore, the preponderance of advertising for—and availability of—sugar, tobacco, alcohol, junk food, and prescription medications remains louder, with greater reach and deeper pockets than the average chiropractor. However, the fabric of healthcare is shifting, and I find that more people are receptive to complementary and alternative medicine. In the Bay Area alone, more corporate and technology behemoths are assimilating chiropractors into their campus provider network, and more civilian hospitals are entertaining the prospect of chiropractic. This is an excellent opportunity, a foot in the door for chiropractors! I am elated to champion chiropractic as a foundational, conservative healthcare option, to shift the paradigm from “alternative” to primary.

Additionally, the upsurge of cash practices is encouraging! Current medical insurance reimburses chiropractors little (if at all), and costs are occasionally ambiguous. Insurance companies are clearly at the advantage, at the expense of patient and practitioner alike. Fortunately, many chiropractic offices like TruSpine have offered clear, concise cash-based payment options—hassle free and honest. However, chiropractors must remain avant-garde to be worth the fees they charge. Therein lies a challenge to be competitively educated and well informed of new evidence in the discipline. Furthermore, as health care and health insurance continue to morph, chiropractors must adapt accordingly. Accessibility and efficiency are vital components for ensuring chiropractic continues to be affordable and accessible. Financial flexibility not only accommodates diverse backgrounds and promotes patient retention, but also enhances chiropractic care in general, by making it available to everyone.

Chiropractic combines my research strengths, multidisciplinary talents, and philanthropic passions. However, the pivotal impetus for my career shift has been my experiences volunteering at Veterans of Foreign Wars. For the past decade, I have served meals, chaired fundraisers, and forged strong friendships with military veterans young and old. I learned much about their healthcare struggle, their fight for proper treatment, and am eager to shift the status quo. One of my closest veteran friends takes eight daily medications (including opioids) just to function; some are for his PTSD, some for pain, and some simply to counteract the effects of the others. His struggle to get through the day, and the strain these drugs have on his body, is disconcerting but fortifies my commitment to pursuing a career that will ultimately assist him and others to lead a healthier life. My primary driving force is to help patients like my friend: affected mentally and physically by their military service. This demographic is an ever-growing keystone to the American populace, and one in much need of ministration. Thankfully, we are witnessing a budding healthcare revolution thanks to the multitude of military veterans affirming the effectiveness of chiropractic, and the Veterans Administration has blossomed into a chiropractor friendly institution. Through veteran care and education of the general public, we can transform chiropractic into first choice health care. Throughout my degree program and the rest of my life, I will lead, serve, and positively influence others through holistic treatment and education. I am motivated to be at the forefront of enhancing true patient wellness through wholesome, interdisciplinary care.

I’m not sure who is better: Supreet or Robert. Both use a signature shoulder move that gets me real pain relief. I have never found more effective chiropractors than these two. Real pain relief in one visit. And they care about me more than other medical doctors.

Dr Shah is kind, informative and listens to one’s concerns on health.My injury after a fall affected my back, legs and both Arms and hands. My right hand was difficult to use on a daily basis. Dr Shah started treatments right away. In addition I had acupuncture treatment with Haley. I had scare tissue build up on my right arm.Both treatments made significant, positive results to healing in all areas affected specially my right hand and arm. I am a true believer in chiropractor care & acupuncture. I highly recommend TruSpine. 👋🏽““Totally believe in Holistic treatment with no meds.” Try it, you will like feeling better. 💥Happy to know TrueSpine was open after the winter holidays.I recently, started back to get wkly adjustments. I was experiencing pain in my right ankle.I was barely able to walk on my foot.Dr Robert adjusted my right side of my body on my 1st visit back. That night I was able to sleep comfortably and the next day I was able to walk on my foot with no pain ache to my ankle.It’s amazing how the body responds after adjustments from pain to pain free🤩Dr Robert works the areas you inform him you have problems with. He immediately knows and explains what points he will work on to relieve the aches and pain. Thank you, Dr Robert happy you are on board at TrueSpine.

Jeff and Supreet are miracle workers. I went in for a review and they did their usual treatments and all the stiffness in my legs was gone in a matter of minutes. (!!) As a 63 year old that still likes to do plenty of sports, their therapies are essential to my happiness. Thanks, guys! Appreciate you.

Before I came to Truspine, I had experienced a bad outcome following tarsal tunnel surgery, which caused a lot of numbness and crazy nerve pain. I had been through numerous treatment plans and rehab programs but nothing helped and I continued to have a lot of pain. My pain increased with activity and I went from being a physically active person to a couch potato. Since I have started treatment with Dr. Supreet Shah, my pain level has decreased and I am starting to have more feeling back in my foot and leg. This program finally helped me move forward. My confidence has increased as well as my quality of life. After eight years of fighting this problem, I am invigorated. I can walk more and I am riding a peloton now. I feel like I can be physically active without my pains coming back. I would recommend this neuropathy program.

Before I came to Dr. Shah, I couldn’t sleep at night because the pain was so intense. Sometimes I felt I had lightning bolts going through my feet. I also had severe cramps, especially in my big toe. Since I have started treatment, the pain has gone away. Now I can sleep through the night. Thank God for that. The treatment and friendly nature of Dr. Shah and his staff has helped quite a bit. As we say in France, “Merci (Thank You)” and God Bless.

I decided to come to the clinic because I was experiencing such distracting pains in my feet. I also was experiencing burning in my feet. It was definitely affecting my life. After coming to Dr. Shah’s clinic and going through the neuropathy therapy, I have noticed that my feet are much more comfortable. I no longer have stabbing pains that were limiting my activities and I am enjoying life a lot more.

Before I came in here, I was in a lot of pain with my feet. I could not sleep at night, sometimes 24 hours a day. It would not go away. Most of the time it was like walking on gravel; and that was always there for at least 5 years. I also had pain on the side of leg but my feet were so painful, nothing would help. Ice, heat, exercise, and pain meds wouldn’t help. I got a variety of medicine, it wouldn’t help. I also had many types creams, it didn’t help. Now, I feel wonderful. I can sleep again at night. I sleep 10 hours if my son doesn’t wake me up, and this has changed my life. I have so much energy and I feel 90% better right now. I am so thankful and I praise the Lord for bringing me here.

He specifically tailors to what my needs are in order to prevent mishaps as well as to strengthen my back so I won't have these ailments in the future. I would highly recommend him. He simply cares.

Yesterday my left glute was soar and there was nerve message instability to the left leg. Meaning, I was not confident that if I needed to use my left leg in any aggressive manner, for example tripping and preventing a fall, it would not be good. After yesterday’s treatment, the nerve message instability is gone.

The competency with which the Truspine staff with whom I have interacted, Dr. Shah, Hayley, and Caye, offer their professional services is remarkable. A component of the healing process is the listening and truly hearing the patient as well as offering advice and constructive feedback. In this they excel. They really care and through this caring and trust, in addition to their technical proficiency the patient is rewarded.

I would like to thank Dr. Robert Pirritano for all his support in alleviating a significant amount of pain and maximizing my athletic performance.As a professional athlete (professional bodybuilder, powerlifter), Coach/fitness professional, and a corrective exercise specialists, it’s great to get extensive treatment from another professional for optimizing athletic performance, correcting imbalances of the body, for overall health and for longevity.Years ago, I had a concussion and whiplash injury which gets inflamed and causes me significant neck pain throughout the year. Recently, I could barely move my neck and was experiencing dizziness, headaches, and adrenal and physical fatigue. On our first appointment, Dr.Pirritano released many of my tight areas around my neck and performed Graston technique. I continue to work and receive further treatment with him. My pain levels have decreased significantly.Truspine is the place not only for athletes, but for those suffering from chronic pain, reducing injuries, balancing the body, improving posture, mobility, and overall health. Dr.Pirritano and Dr.Shah prescribe exercises for their patients to improve their condition. It’s tailored towards goals and results are positively effective from their treatment. As they prescribe particular stretches/mobility exercises, please perform these and the frequency of them for even more results, full recovery. Truspine has a clean, welcoming ambiance, amazing staff, and follow all sanitary and safety protocols for Covid-19.As a health and fitness professional, I have been to many other chiropractors for my treatment, but they were unlike Dr.Pirritano. Dr.Pirritano is the best and truly cares about his patients. His approaches are performed with precision. He is very responsive to your questions in person, via email, and gives thorough explanation with his extensive knowledge of the body.I will continue to work with Dr.Pirritano to improve my overall health, reduce muscular imbalances, reduce the risk of my injuries, maximize athletic performance, and alleviate pain. Thank you Dr.Pirritano!-Coach Melanie Ortanez

Dr. Shah is a true healer. Kind, confident, knowledgeable, compassionate, holistic he zeroes right in on what you need. As a lifelong dancer and yoga practitioner, I’ve been seeing him for about 8 years with everything from debilitating pain to chronic misalignments that interrupt joy of movement. This week was another success to get me back to much needed (online) classes. He recently treated my 92 year old father after a fall. I knew he was the right person. My father looked forward to returning for the follow-ups. AND the office is beautifuI. I travel all the way across town to meet with Dr. Shah to find sweet relief!

I really had the best experience here. Dr. Shah was very attentive to my needs by sending me exercises that I still do today and just the overall experience was one that I’ll request for anyone to do.

Hailey has done WONDERS for my neck and shoulder pain. When we first met my shoulders rested up at my ears and I was going about thinking the pain and stress of it was just the way it is! She is so knowledgeable and so professional. Her treatment room is very peaceful and so her demeanor. Immediately made me comfortable at my first appointment and calmed me after the questions about the needles and their safety/efficacy. Cannot recommend her enough! I’ve been going to see her regularly since November and I will continue to see her. It’s truly a gift to have found her and be her patient !

Hayley helped me through a really bad SI joint injury. She was super professional, knowledgeable, patient, and was a great source of information. The clinic is very well kept, in a great location, and scheduling and client service is organized and super pleasant (even through COVID). Highly recommend and I plan to return.

Shockwave Therapy has saved me from carpal tunnel surgery. I had my surgery date on the calendar when I went to see Dr Shah. I had tried physical therapy and massage therapy with no relief. This was my last resort and I'm so glad I found his clinic in San Francisco. Today I'm pain free and I'm back to playing tennis. I recommend giving Shockwave Therapy a try.

I absolutely love Hayley and I would 10/10 recommend her as an acupuncturist to anyone! I’m so grateful to have found her! I have been going to acupuncture for the last 20+ years and whenever I move I am so bummed to leave the acupuncturist in that city. BUT, I was so grateful to find Hayley in San Francisco! It took me some time to find someone I really loved, but I’ve now being seeing Hayley twice a month for the past almost three years! She’s an incredibly talented acupuncturist and makes you feel very at easy when you meet her and during her sessions. I also love her room where we do the acupuncture. It’s always very clean and feels like it has good vibes! Couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for an awesome acupuncturist!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Shah for chiropractic help and also Haley for dry needling. The combination of both has made a real difference for me. I really appreciate the added suggestions that Dr. Shah has for me to do on my own with a foam roller, showing me exactly how to do each area. I can not recommend dry needling enough, and Haley is spot on. Very comfortable vibe at the location, pretty easy parking, nice correspondence with scheduling. Overall just a great place for getting back my health.

Before coming here I did not expect my back ache to get well soon. However, even after the second visit I can feel a big difference. I was not able to sit or stand for a long time because of the pain. Dr Shah helped me to relief the pain. I do recommend to visit doctor and not to wait the pain go away itself. Besides, in TruSpine it is really easy and fast to have appointment and see the doctor.

Dr Shah is really professional. He is helping heal a 3 year-old wound that is preventing me from doing lots of things. After a few sessions, I can already feel more flexibility and mobility in my hip, which is a huge win for me!

Dr. Shah is exceptional! Being skeptical of chiropractors because of a back injury and previous bad experiences, I can truly say he is an amazing chiropractor who really knows his stuff and is kind plus has a great staff in a convenient location. Wonderful experience!

For the past three years I have had mild pain in my left hip. An hour or so after my first treatment I was almost 100% pain free! Now that I’ve had a couple more sessions I’m very pleased to say I am experiencing absolutely no pain at all. Supreet is very informative and is great at explaining what’s going on with your body. I am incredibly relieved as I am only 32 and thought I may need surgery. I highly recommend getting the acupuncture treatment which is offered there as well!!

I've been dealing with hip pain since I was 12 and have been in and out do chiropractic offices; TruSpine is my favorite by far.Dr. Shah is fantastic! He gets to know you and makes you feel personally welcomed every time you come in. During your appointment he talks to you and explains what he is doing in detail so are never confused about what is going on. As a powerlifter, coming to Dr. Shah has improved my mobility which is crucial to my overall movements. He really gives you a well-rounded experience and I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.I had never done acupuncture before Hayley and I am glad I waited because she is awesome! Hayley has a great space which inherently puts you at ease. She is calm and composed and gives you time to wind down and really let the acupuncture do it's job. She specifically tailors your session to deal with whatever is plaguing you and thanks to her careful ministrations I was able to achieve a level of focus that helped me ace my finals! Hayley's steady demeanor really makes for a great experience.

I’m not sure who is better: Supreet or Robert. Both use a signature shoulder move that gets me real pain relief. I have never found more effective chiropractors than these two. Real pain relief in one visit. And they care about me more than other medical doctors.

Dr Shah is kind, informative and listens to one’s concerns on health.My injury after a fall affected my back, legs and both Arms and hands. My right hand was difficult to use on a daily basis. Dr Shah started treatments right away. In addition I had acupuncture treatment with Haley. I had scare tissue build up on my right arm.Both treatments made significant, positive results to healing in all areas affected specially my right hand and arm. I am a true believer in chiropractor care & acupuncture. I highly recommend TruSpine. 👋🏽““Totally believe in Holistic treatment with no meds.” Try it, you will like feeling better. 💥Happy to know TrueSpine was open after the winter holidays.I recently, started back to get wkly adjustments. I was experiencing pain in my right ankle.I was barely able to walk on my foot.Dr Robert adjusted my right side of my body on my 1st visit back. That night I was able to sleep comfortably and the next day I was able to walk on my foot with no pain ache to my ankle.It’s amazing how the body responds after adjustments from pain to pain free🤩Dr Robert works the areas you inform him you have problems with. He immediately knows and explains what points he will work on to relieve the aches and pain. Thank you, Dr Robert happy you are on board at TrueSpine.

Before I came to Truspine, I had experienced a bad outcome following tarsal tunnel surgery, which caused a lot of numbness and crazy nerve pain. I had been through numerous treatment plans and rehab programs but nothing helped and I continued to have a lot of pain. My pain increased with activity and I went from being a physically active person to a couch potato. Since I have started treatment with Dr. Supreet Shah, my pain level has decreased and I am starting to have more feeling back in my foot and leg. This program finally helped me move forward. My confidence has increased as well as my quality of life. After eight years of fighting this problem, I am invigorated. I can walk more and I am riding a peloton now. I feel like I can be physically active without my pains coming back. I would recommend this neuropathy program.

Before I came to Dr. Shah, I couldn’t sleep at night because the pain was so intense. Sometimes I felt I had lightning bolts going through my feet. I also had severe cramps, especially in my big toe. Since I have started treatment, the pain has gone away. Now I can sleep through the night. Thank God for that. The treatment and friendly nature of Dr. Shah and his staff has helped quite a bit. As we say in France, “Merci (Thank You)” and God Bless.

I decided to come to the clinic because I was experiencing such distracting pains in my feet. I also was experiencing burning in my feet. It was definitely affecting my life. After coming to Dr. Shah’s clinic and going through the neuropathy therapy, I have noticed that my feet are much more comfortable. I no longer have stabbing pains that were limiting my activities and I am enjoying life a lot more.

Before I came in here, I was in a lot of pain with my feet. I could not sleep at night, sometimes 24 hours a day. It would not go away. Most of the time it was like walking on gravel; and that was always there for at least 5 years. I also had pain on the side of leg but my feet were so painful, nothing would help. Ice, heat, exercise, and pain meds wouldn’t help. I got a variety of medicine, it wouldn’t help. I also had many types creams, it didn’t help. Now, I feel wonderful. I can sleep again at night. I sleep 10 hours if my son doesn’t wake me up, and this has changed my life. I have so much energy and I feel 90% better right now. I am so thankful and I praise the Lord for bringing me here.

Meaning, I was not confident that if I needed to use my left leg in any aggressive manner, for example tripping and preventing a fall, it would not be good. After yesterday’s treatment, the nerve message instability is gone.

Not only the appearance saw a difference but I feel my energy level has gone up. Hayley totally fixed me lol. She is such an incredible person too I feel lucky to have found this place and got to know her. I highly recommend :D

The competency with which the Truspine staff with whom I have interacted, Dr. Shah, Hayley, and Caye, offer their professional services is remarkable. A component of the healing process is the listening and truly hearing the patient as well as offering advice and constructive feedback. In this they excel. They really care and through this caring and trust, in addition to their technical proficiency the patient is rewarded.

I would like to thank Dr. Robert Pirritano for all his support in alleviating a significant amount of pain and maximizing my athletic performance.As a professional athlete (professional bodybuilder, powerlifter), Coach/fitness professional, and a corrective exercise specialists, it’s great to get extensive treatment from another professional for optimizing athletic performance, correcting imbalances of the body, for overall health and for longevity.Years ago, I had a concussion and whiplash injury which gets inflamed and causes me significant neck pain throughout the year. Recently, I could barely move my neck and was experiencing dizziness, headaches, and adrenal and physical fatigue. On our first appointment, Dr.Pirritano released many of my tight areas around my neck and performed Graston technique. I continue to work and receive further treatment with him. My pain levels have decreased significantly.Truspine is the place not only for athletes, but for those suffering from chronic pain, reducing injuries, balancing the body, improving posture, mobility, and overall health. Dr.Pirritano and Dr.Shah prescribe exercises for their patients to improve their condition. It’s tailored towards goals and results are positively effective from their treatment. As they prescribe particular stretches/mobility exercises, please perform these and the frequency of them for even more results, full recovery. Truspine has a clean, welcoming ambiance, amazing staff, and follow all sanitary and safety protocols for Covid-19.As a health and fitness professional, I have been to many other chiropractors for my treatment, but they were unlike Dr.Pirritano. Dr.Pirritano is the best and truly cares about his patients. His approaches are performed with precision. He is very responsive to your questions in person, via email, and gives thorough explanation with his extensive knowledge of the body.I will continue to work with Dr.Pirritano to improve my overall health, reduce muscular imbalances, reduce the risk of my injuries, maximize athletic performance, and alleviate pain. Thank you Dr.Pirritano!-Coach Melanie Ortanez

My first time visiting a chiropractor and I must say I was long overdue. Dr Robert Pirritano did an amazing job with adjusting my back and relieving my Lower back pain I’ve had for years . Now I can show the cats on the court I’m back. Thank you guys so much.

Dr. Shah is a true healer. Kind, confident, knowledgeable, compassionate, holistic he zeroes right in on what you need. As a lifelong dancer and yoga practitioner, I’ve been seeing him for about 8 years with everything from debilitating pain to chronic misalignments that interrupt joy of movement. This week was another success to get me back to much needed (online) classes. He recently treated my 92 year old father after a fall. I knew he was the right person. My father looked forward to returning for the follow-ups. AND the office is beautifuI. I travel all the way across town to meet with Dr. Shah to find sweet relief!

Dr Shah is a true professional. He provides a very comfortable experience, thoroughly explaining everything he is doing throughout the adjustment. Highly recommended!PS: The facility is spotlessly clean and they are strictly following all CDC Covid guidelines.

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 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.

Dr Shah is by far the best chiropractor I have been to or heard about. His attention to detail and knowledge of the human body is far superior than most. I highly recommend if you have chronic pain or need just a routine adjustment you need to go see him

I really had the best experience here. Dr. Shah was very attentive to my needs by sending me exercises that I still do today and just the overall experience was one that I’ll request for anyone to do.

Hailey has done WONDERS for my neck and shoulder pain. When we first met my shoulders rested up at my ears and I was going about thinking the pain and stress of it was just the way it is! She is so knowledgeable and so professional. Her treatment room is very peaceful and so her demeanor. Immediately made me comfortable at my first appointment and calmed me after the questions about the needles and their safety/efficacy. Cannot recommend her enough! I’ve been going to see her regularly since November and I will continue to see her. It’s truly a gift to have found her and be her patient !

Hayley helped me through a really bad SI joint injury. She was super professional, knowledgeable, patient, and was a great source of information. The clinic is very well kept, in a great location, and scheduling and client service is organized and super pleasant (even through COVID). Highly recommend and I plan to return.

Shockwave Therapy has saved me from carpal tunnel surgery. I had my surgery date on the calendar when I went to see Dr Shah. I had tried physical therapy and massage therapy with no relief. This was my last resort and I'm so glad I found his clinic in San Francisco. Today I'm pain free and I'm back to playing tennis. I recommend giving Shockwave Therapy a try.

I absolutely love Hayley and I would 10/10 recommend her as an acupuncturist to anyone! I’m so grateful to have found her! I have been going to acupuncture for the last 20+ years and whenever I move I am so bummed to leave the acupuncturist in that city. BUT, I was so grateful to find Hayley in San Francisco! It took me some time to find someone I really loved, but I’ve now being seeing Hayley twice a month for the past almost three years! She’s an incredibly talented acupuncturist and makes you feel very at easy when you meet her and during her sessions. I also love her room where we do the acupuncture. It’s always very clean and feels like it has good vibes! Couldn’t recommend her more to anyone looking for an awesome acupuncturist!

I’ve been seeing Dr. Shah for chiropractic help and also Haley for dry needling. The combination of both has made a real difference for me. I really appreciate the added suggestions that Dr. Shah has for me to do on my own with a foam roller, showing me exactly how to do each area. I can not recommend dry needling enough, and Haley is spot on. Very comfortable vibe at the location, pretty easy parking, nice correspondence with scheduling. Overall just a great place for getting back my health.

Before coming here I did not expect my back ache to get well soon. However, even after the second visit I can feel a big difference. I was not able to sit or stand for a long time because of the pain. Dr Shah helped me to relief the pain. I do recommend to visit doctor and not to wait the pain go away itself. Besides, in TruSpine it is really easy and fast to have appointment and see the doctor.

Dr Shah is really professional. He is helping heal a 3 year-old wound that is preventing me from doing lots of things. After a few sessions, I can already feel more flexibility and mobility in my hip, which is a huge win for me!

I have had shoulder pain for more than a year now. I have been to many doctors, nothing worked... since i started coming to Dr. Shah, it has been getting better and better over each session. Hope to be completely painfree soon.

Dr. Shah is exceptional! Being skeptical of chiropractors because of a back injury and previous bad experiences, I can truly say he is an amazing chiropractor who really knows his stuff and is kind plus has a great staff in a convenient location. Wonderful experience!

For the past three years I have had mild pain in my left hip. An hour or so after my first treatment I was almost 100% pain free! Now that I’ve had a couple more sessions I’m very pleased to say I am experiencing absolutely no pain at all. Supreet is very informative and is great at explaining what’s going on with your body. I am incredibly relieved as I am only 32 and thought I may need surgery. I highly recommend getting the acupuncture treatment which is offered there as well!!

I've been dealing with hip pain since I was 12 and have been in and out do chiropractic offices; TruSpine is my favorite by far.Dr. Shah is fantastic! He gets to know you and makes you feel personally welcomed every time you come in. During your appointment he talks to you and explains what he is doing in detail so are never confused about what is going on. As a powerlifter, coming to Dr. Shah has improved my mobility which is crucial to my overall movements. He really gives you a well-rounded experience and I highly recommend him to anyone and everyone.I had never done acupuncture before Hayley and I am glad I waited because she is awesome! Hayley has a great space which inherently puts you at ease. She is calm and composed and gives you time to wind down and really let the acupuncture do it's job. She specifically tailors your session to deal with whatever is plaguing you and thanks to her careful ministrations I was able to achieve a level of focus that helped me ace my finals! Hayley's steady demeanor really makes for a great experience.

What an amazing place to be! I wish Dr. Supreet Shah could open more offices around the nation. It has been a wonderful experience knowing him, and I am sure this practice will flourish given his kind nature. This world needs more people like him!!
