Kendall R. Gearhart, DC

As a therapist working in geriatric rehab, I spend the majority of my day standing, bending, lifting. I started with an annoying, localized back pain 5months ago which I attributed to the demands of my job. Had my initial eval/treatment yesterday and woke up this morning noticing my pain is nearly gone. Wow! Wish I had made time to do this months ago and look forward to continued treatment.

Dr. Gearhart was fantastic. He took a lot of time to talk through issues I was experiencing, explained his treatment recommendations with great detail. During treatment and evaluation he took the time to explain each and every step so I knew what he was doing and why, making sure I was very informed of the plan.

I have to say that my experience with Dr. Gearhart was fantastic. I have suffered with migraines headaches with auras, tunnel vision, aphasia and numbness/tingling of my hands for much of my life. They often occur in clusters, but may not recur for several months to sometimes over a year at a time. I have had substantial neck and shoulder pain, consistently throughout much of my adult life, which I had attributed to previous injuries and surgeries. I had accepted the stiffness, aches and pains as an unfortunate consequence to my ascension into my mid-30s, however I had long felt that the migraines were possibly related to the alignment of my neck. Early in 2020, amidst our first pandemic shutdown, things got worse - my headaches had picked up and I was feeling some discomfort in my neck near the base of my skull, and now suddenly, I could not sleep comfortably especially if I used a pillow of any kind, things were much worse when I woke up from sleep. I would wake up with a neck ache, headache and a strange "pressure" feeling in my head and neck that would not subside until after a hot shower, a few ibuprofens, and often an hour or two of being upright and moving. I reached out to Dr. Gearhart, who was answering calls despite being shut down (Non-essential? I think not!) and he was able to give me some tips to help with my neck, The exercises did help some and I was able to function enough to keep working. As soon as the office was opened back up, I made an appointment and came into to see Dr. Gearhart. Needless to say, I am very pleased with making the decision to come see Dr. G because I sit here today writing this with review with - NO Chronic pain in my neck and shoulder. I cannot believe the number of years that I had been suffering with some of these issues. I regret that I did not seek out help sooner.

In fact, beside the complete lack of pain that has been otherwise a fact of life for the past 10 or so years - I haven't had another migraine since before I first started seeing Dr. G --- and that has been more around 8 months ago now. Dr. G and his staff were always Phenomenal, Accommodating and a pleasure to be around. The fact is that It has been a couple of months since my last visit, and I have felt better than I have in a long time. I appreciate the regimen that he guides you thorough, he suggested a couple visits a week at first and then we worked down to once a week for a while and he explains the process as you go. Its a matter of putting your body back where it should be from an alignment stance, but the continued adjustments keep you in that alignment while your body has the opportunity to heal and become accustomed to being in alignment.

I Highly Recommend going to see them!!!

I started seeing Dr. Gearhart when I had neck problems. He used a different method to care for the condition (no twisting and cracking), and I have had no problems since—for several years. I see him with lower back problems now, and I almost always come out with an alignment that lasts a while. I do my part by working on my core strength, but his gentle method of manipulation lasts much longer than the traditional methods I had experienced previously.

Dr. G was able to fit me in for an appointment last minute when I hurt my neck. His staff is so friendly and they welcome everyone who comes through their doors. The office is very clean and easy to find! Dr. G gave an honest diagnosis of my injury and I followed his treatment plan as advised. I now have better mobility in my neck and back and feel no pain. I highly recommend Dr. G!
