We won't make you keep coming back! Tired of chiropractors that want to treat you 3 times per week for extended periods? We will advise you about the care you need, but encourage you to decide on the treatment that you want. No push from us. Caring, knowledgeable, and effective healthcare in a relaxed, organized, and loving environment.
Dr. Young's commitment to every patient is to provide the best care with the least possible expense. Many doctors (chiropractors, MDs and others) simply sell treatments instead of helping patients find solutions. Without solutions patients are left with more suffering, more office visits, and more fees.
Thanks for looking out for the whole health of your patients. Chiropractors like yourself Dr. Young do SO much more than adjust spines. I didn't know that chiropractic care could encompass all that it does (with the right doctor, of course) until I came to see you. I appreciate all that I have learned from both you and Joanne - worth every penny!

(Update: 9 months after my first and only visit) Seeing Kristofer Young DC was my greatest health mistake of 2021, and I'm still suffering halfway through 2022. I arrived with no back pain. Still, he performed unnecessary and intense pelvis and spinal "adjustments" that resulted in 4 months of back and hip agony. My back was spasming so badly that I could not do physical therapy, yoga or sleep much during this time.
The following several months have still been bad. I'm hoping to fully recover, but am expecting it to take a couple years. I cannot sit for more than a few minutes at a time without moderate pain (I am almost always standing unless I am sleeping). The pain is now in my back muscles, spine, and pelvis (illium, sacrum and coccyx). I've seen an orthopedist (medication for back spasms), osteopathy clinic (helped a lot with my groin pain!), and am still looking for pain management solutions for my back/pelvis.
I highly recommend Tai Chi Massage. The masseuse there is exceptional, and it is reasonably priced! I think the reckless "adjustments" hyperextended several things in my spine/pelvis. This experience makes me believe that no person should let their body be twisted so it cracks loudly by someone who is doing generic guess work. I've regretted going to Kristofer every single day since our first and only visit.
To add insult to injury, Kristofer suggested that the injury might be related to my diet. Maybe dairy and tomatoes plays a role in health - but never in my life have they caused a severe back injury that lasted a year like this horrendous spine adjustment. Please be careful who you trust. I hope I am an anomaly situation. This has been a nightmare I wish upon no one. Consider seeking less high-risk solutions to your problems. Please.

I've been seeing Dr Young for over a year at this point and I, truly, cannot sing his praises any louder. I've always considered chiropractic work as a non-negotiable bill, Dr. Young makes this even more prevalent. Typically, with previous chiropractors, I would really feel when my next appointment was on the rise. After his care, I could (I certainly don't) extend my monthly treatment out by a couple of weeks and not feel the impact.
He does a wonderful job of getting to the source of an issue and addressing external causes that may factor into the work that he's doing. I can't recommend him enough. The office is always in great shape and everyone is always SO kind. If you're in need of some chiropractic work, I HIGHLY recommend booking an appointment.

AMAZING DUO! I feel extremely lucky to have Dr. Young and Ms. Joe in my life. They both truly have healing hands, and I feel my life has forever changed. They're genuine, passionate, and attentive to my needs. Visiting their office is the highlight of my day, and I always leave feeling relaxed, relieved, and stress-free!

Dr. Young and the massage therapist, Jo - are amazing! They are both thoughtful in their individualized treatment plans. I highly recommend this office. Dr. Young & Jo suggested I consider a gluten and dairy free diet as I was having ongoing GI issues. In just a few days of lifestyle changes, many of my symptoms resolved. The dairy free part was pretty easy as, outside of yogurt, I was already pretty much dairy free.
The game changer for me was the gluten. If has been a creative adjustment, but I ordered several new cook books and it was not at all challenging to make yummy things at home. Lassen's has a great selection of GF products. I am really grateful for their suggestions, for me it was a game changer.

Kristofer and Jo are absolute treasures of this Earth! The chiropractic evaluation was the most thorough I've experienced in over 20 years of being a patient with varying levels and anatomical locations of pain. I called about massage and Jo, the massage therapist, said she wouldn't take me until I was well adjusted. This immediately gained a level of trust, as she wasn't in a hurry to take my money when it wouldn't yet be effective.
The first chiropractic visit was a lot like a gentle counseling session, geared toward learning my habits and what other causal pinpoints might be the culprit of my discomfort. He took a lot of notes. The adjustment was very deliberate and after each movement he again, stopped to notate each one. He is very meticulous. I left my first visit feeling very confident and extremely lucky to have found this amazing duo.
My next visit a few weeks later really blew me away. I received another adjustment that seemed to really lower my pain and discomfort. I walked out of there on cloud 99. This morning, I finally got a massage from Jo and she is every bit as thorough and has strong, capable hands. No movement was unintentional and that is the mark of an efficient, experienced massage therapist.
Just be ready! It's called DEEEEEEEEEEP tissue for a reason. :)) I received my third chiropractic adjustment afterward, and left once again, feeling like I'm closer and closer to being my old, flexible self again. I cannot recommend Dr. Kristofer and Jo enough. Please support these two wonderful humans who really CARE about their work and your progress. 100 stars. No, 1,000,000 stars!

Before seeing Dr. Young, I had struggled with GI issues (celiac disease) and scoliosis for several years. He suggested removing dairy from my diet along with taking Magnesium supplements and incorporating a daily stretching routine. After only a few consultations (including excellent spinal and neck adjustments) and making these diet/lifestyle changes, I began feeling better than I had in a long time. Dr. Young is kind, knowledgeable, and really cares about his patients. I'm so grateful for his great care and can't recommend him enough!

I recently visited Dr. Young for an adjustment because I'm preparing my body for a surgery I have coming up. Prior to my appointment I was able to talk with Jo, who is so very nice and accommodating. My visit with Dr. Young was so lovely! He is very thorough, kind, super knowledgeable, and takes the time to go over all concerns you may have. He will also discuss anything he finds during the adjustment and what can be done to help heal your body.
This was my second adjustment by Dr. Young and I will be a repeat visitor for sure. Such genuine, down to earth folks. If you're looking for a Functional Medicine doctor, I would highly recommend Dr. Young.

Update 5/18: I finally really stuck to "no dairy, no gluten" for 30 days, and I can't tell you how much it has helped an inflammatory disease I have. It's changed my life. Thank you, Dr. Young! I'll never go back! Dr. Young is more than just a terrific chiropractor. He relates to all people, really cares, and spends the time necessary to find underlying issues. What I like best about him is he learns new functional medicine all the time and applies evidence to his practice. I always leave feeling better!

Dr. Young holds a true Doctors soul. He is truely intuitive an excellent in his knowledge of Health Care and the Body. I highly recommend him. I came away with so much more knowledge and information then any M. D. has ever given to me. Dr. Young gave me his full attention an listened to my ideas of what I believed was my problem. I came away feeling totaly taken care of in a human caring way. Just the way a Doctor should act. Loving, Caring, Concerned and Compassionate. A True Healer!
