They have a new address! I found that out by going to their old one - thankfully the customer service lady was still working and was able to redirect me.

I just had the most amazing massage with Evelyn H. She does trigger point therapy and walks you through her entire process. It was all so clearly explained that I feel empowered to work on some of my problem areas on my own between sessions. If you like deep tissue massages and “good pain” type of deep tissue work, she is the one for you! Just amazing experience all around.

I’ve been going to Palm Leaf for years and consistently have great experiences. They have a wonderful variety of skilled professionals who truly know what they’re doing—and they listen and communicate to make sure you get exactly what you need. The setting is always relaxing, and scheduling online is super easy. Ramon is a rightfully proud and attentive owner who genuinely cares about his customers and their experience. Highly recommend!

Such a nice and soothing experience! I got the Reiki Massage from Sam B and she was great! She definitely has a healing touch and I felt so much lighter and relieved after. My partner also got the Fire Cupping Therapy through Sam, and he said it was incredibly relaxing and took a lot of pressure out of his back. Thank you so much to Sam! We’ll definitely come back here!

Just had another great massage at PalmLeaf. I go once or twice a year, often due to one or two problem areas. I've seen several therapists over the years and have always been impressed with their professionalism, attention to inputs, diligence at improving those areas, sensitivity to pain tolerance, and the overall comfortable ambiance.

This was my first experience with PalmLeaf Massage, and it was a good one, but I will try all of the masseuse, and see which one is the best fit for me.

Had Evelyn for my first time here! Hands down the best massage I have ever received. It was absolutely tailored to what I asked for and am already planning my next massage!

Went to PalmLesf for the first time today. I am very picky about my massages and my massage with Eugene was fantastic! He thoroughly addressed all my problem areas and regularly checked in regarding pressure and adjusted accordingly. There was a small issue with my billing but Eugene and Ramon had it resolved before I even left the massage area.

Overall it was a great experience! I would tell everyone to visit but I don't want to have to fight for appointments. 😁

If you’re dealing with serious back pain, you might consider seeing a chiropractor. Chiropractors use hands-on techniques to improve how your spine moves and functions, helping reduce pain without medicine or surgery.

What Do Chiropractors Actually Do?

The main technique chiropractors use is a spinal adjustment, where they gently move or press parts of your spine to improve alignment. You may hear a popping sound, which is just air releasing from the joint. It usually doesn’t hurt, though you might feel a bit sore afterward, similar to post-exercise soreness.
Spinal Adjustment
  • Use different spinal adjustment methods (like Gonstead or Activator)
  • Gently stretch the spine for nerve relief (spinal decompression)
  • Massage or press tight muscles
  • Teach exercises to strengthen your back
  • Apply tape or braces for support
  • Use heat, ice, or small devices to reduce pain and swelling

How Do They Figure Out What’s Wrong?

  • Ask about your health and past injuries
  • Check your posture, movement, and spinal alignment
  • Sometimes request X-rays or scans for more detail

What Kinds of Back Pain Can They Help With?

Chiropractors can help with:
  • Lower back pain
  • Sciatica (leg pain)
  • Muscle tightness or joint stiffness
  • Herniated or slipped discs
  • Neck pain and posture issues
Chiropractic care often works well if your pain comes from long hours of sitting or lifting something the wrong way.

Does It Really Work?

Research shows that chiropractic care can help with short-term back pain and often works as well as physical therapy or medication, but without the side effects. You’ll usually need multiple visits, and long-lasting pain may take more time to improve.

Most chiropractors also guide you on better posture, safe movement, and ways to prevent future pain. They may work alongside doctors or physical therapists when needed.

What Should You Expect?

You may not feel relief immediately. It often takes a few sessions (around 2–6) to notice improvement. Some mild soreness afterward is normal and usually fades quickly. Your chiropractor may also give you exercises and tips to support your spine.

Chiropractic care can help many people manage back pain without medicine or surgery, but it isn’t right for everyone. Choose a qualified chiropractor, ask questions, and check with your doctor first if you have any health concerns. When done properly, it can be a safe and helpful part of your recovery.

What Happens During a Chiropractic Session?

Thinking about seeing a chiropractor but not sure what it’s like? Don’t worry, many people feel nervous before their first visit. The truth is, chiropractic sessions are usually simple and gentle. Here’s what typically happens during a visit, step by step, in a way that’s easy to understand.

Step 1: Talking About Your Health

Your visit starts with a simple chat. The chiropractor asks where your pain is, how long you’ve had it, and what makes it better or worse. They’ll also check for past injuries, health conditions, and any medications you take. You may need to fill out a form with these details.

Step 2: Checking Your Body

Next, the chiropractor will do a physical exam. They’ll check your posture, ask you to move in different ways, and gently press on your back and muscles. If needed, they may recommend an X-ray or MRI to understand the issue better.

Step 3: Doing the Adjustment

Now comes the part most people are curious about the adjustment. You’ll lie on a padded table while the chiropractor gently moves or presses specific joints to help improve alignment and ease movement.

You might hear a popping sound, which is just air releasing from the joint, similar to cracking your knuckles. It usually doesn’t hurt, and many people feel a nice stretch or relief.

Chiropractors use different techniques: some use their hands, others use small instruments, and they may adjust areas like your shoulders, hips, or knees not just your spine.

Step 4: Extra Help and Advice

After the adjustment, the chiropractor may add extra treatments, such as:
  • Light massage or muscle work
  • Ice or heat therapy
  • Small devices to relax muscles
  • Tape or braces for support

Step 5: After Your Visit

You might feel relief right away or after a few sessions. A little soreness is normal similar to trying a new workout and usually fades within a day.

If your pain has been around for a long time, the chiropractor may suggest weekly visits for a few weeks, then fewer as you improve.

  • First visit: around 45 minutes or more
  • Follow-ups: about 10-20 minutes
  • Popping sounds are common and usually painless
  • You’ll get advice on stretches and posture
  • Most people feel better after a few sessions

Chiropractic care isn’t just a quick fix it helps your body move better over time. With the right chiropractor, it can be an effective way to manage back pain and stay healthy.

Is It Always Safe?

Chiropractic care is generally safe, but there are some rare risks, especially with neck adjustments. Serious issues are uncommon but may include:
  • Slipped or herniated discs
  • Nerve damage
  • A very rare stroke from artery injury
It’s not recommended for people with:
  • Severely weak bones (osteoporosis)
  • Numbness or tingling in the arms or legs
  • Spinal cancer
  • A history of strokes or spine infections
If you have any of these conditions, speak to your doctor before visiting a chiropractor.
