While I found Dr. Kleinfelter to be very personable and polite, I did not get a single bit of relief from the NUCCA form of chiropractic medicine she practices. NUCCA is a form of adjustment based on making extremely small (to me they felt so small as to be almost non-existent) adjustments to the upper cervical region of the body.

Dr. Kleinfelter was a really, really nice person and took plenty of time to explain to me what her practice was about, and that she doesn't practice traditional chiropractic treatment. I wish this NUCCA method DID work for me, because I would've been more than happy to continue receiving treatment from her.

The method she uses, NUCCA, is under intense scrutiny by many traditional chiropractic practitioners, and it's thought of, in some circles,as a complete scam. Other circles however, give NUCCA tremendous accolades and praise. I'm NOT saying that I think it's a scam, I just am putting this out there. I urge people who are considering to try NUCCA out to please educate yourself on both the pros and cons of this form of chiropractic adjustment. It's VERY, VERY different from what your preconceived notions of chiropractic medicine probably are.

From Wikipedia: NUCCA focuses on the upper vertebrae in the neck and claims to correct misalignment of the upper spine. The method uses double-pivot-point X-ray analysis, the "development of the triceps pull manual adjustment" and "design and development of the Anatometer posture distortion measuring instrument". The NUCCA method has been subjected to very little peer review. Unlike other chiropractic techniques, NUCCA does not use manual adjustments and does not involve twisting or popping.

In my treatments, Dr. Kleinfelter took x-rays and some measurements of my leg length to check for unevenness which could lead to poor cervical alignment. She then proceeded to VERY GENTLY touch me in areas around my jawline and the upper neck/base of the skull area. That's all. Her extremely light touches in those areas were supposed to somehow re-align my cervical vertebrae... I'm talking touches so light as to be almost a caress or faint brushing of the fingertips along my skin. These "micro-adjustments" might work wonders for some people, but for me (an admitted skeptic) they did absolutely zero. I also have to add here that I've been to the other kind of bone-popping, spine-twisting, crackity crack crack kind of chiropractors with my same natural skepticism, and only found minor, temporary relief from those treatments. Maybe I'm just not a good candidate or patient of chiropractic doctors.

Whatever the case, I'm giving her practice 3 stars because she's a great doctor who takes time to talk to and educate her patients on how to be healthy in all facets of life like diet, exercise, etc... The 2 stars I'm not giving are because I didn't see any benefits from these treatments at all. I gave it 12 months and 15 office visits, almost all visits included some sort of adjustment. I didn't just do a one and done kinda thing. I gave it time to try and work, but for me, it didn't. I hope people in pain find relief, be it from NUCCA treatments, surgery, traditional chiropractic methods, whatever. Please do some independent research before any method you choose however.
