Dr Zapf and his team are so welcoming and did a great job putting me at ease during my first visit (for migraines). Since then I look forward to my visits and already feel so much progress in such a short period of time!! Thanks Dr. Zapf!

Dr. Zapf and this caring team have been there for me and my spinal health since late 2013. He is skilled at supporting patient-informed spinal health and I highly recommend him when considering non-surgical options for lumbar-related disc issues specifically. Several surgeons were eager to treat my case and other medical professionals were eager to treat the pain and symptoms only, but Dr. Zapf guided me to see the long-range effects of my spine health and under his care, I avoided surgery for three bulging discs and stenosis. Years later, I also sought his consult and care for what he identified as piriformis syndrome. I was pain free and mobile within a handful of visits for that issue!Weekly, I am thankful that I trusted my body and gave it time to HEAL and avoid unnecessary surgeries. It takes time to heal the spine, but its a whole unit that requires our care and respect - my lifestyle was forever altered and I still do exercises and stretches that I learned through Dr. Zapf, which ensures that my spine is cared, years after being symptom free.

As a 64-year-old active woman I do not believe in using medications to address pain. Recently after a hard workout I experienced severe swelling in my right knee that limited my mobility. I went to see Dr. Zapf because I believe in his treatment. (I was treated earlier by Dr. Zapf for a bulging disk and successfully addressed the problem without medication.) After my examination I was diagnosed with a torn muscle and tendon at the knee and was told I would need to take it easy for a while. Dr. Zapf recommended office therapy treatments in combination with resting, icing, compression, and elevation of the leg at home along with easing into a routine of specific stretches. After several weeks of following the program it did not appear to me that there was any significant reduction in the swelling around the knee. This worried me but after further discussing with Dr. Zapf, I realized that a 64 year old does not heal as quickly as I expected or as you may be led to believe from articles on the internet. He explained to me the body’s healing process and that everybody heals differently. He reinforced the need for patience and not try to hasten the healing process by working too hard at home, which could cause reinjury, with patience being the key. As it turned out within two weeks I noticed vast improvements both in reduced swelling and my mobility. I feel that I am now close to my pre-injury strength and mobility and I am glad that I didn’t give up on the non medication treatment. Thru this process I learned 4 things from Dr. Zapf: 1) Follow the therapy; 2) Be patient; 3) listen to your body, and 4) trust. I highly recommend Dr. Zapf. On a scale of 1-10 I would give Dr. Zapf a 10. By following his recommendations my condition has improved such that I have been able to resume my activities.

As a 60 year old recreational runner and biker I was distraught when I woke up one morning and started to have difficulty with my back. I was not able to stand for more than a few minutes at a time let alone run. Even after several months of taking pain relievers and performing all the standard back stretches and strengthening exercises my general practitioner recommended I still was experiencing pain and discomfort and could not resume my running or bike riding. At that point I decided to seek chiropractic help and found Dr. Zapf. After a thorough consultation and examination Dr. Zapf was able to diagnose my problem and provide therapy specific to my needs. With Dr. Zapf’s therapy and his guidance on stretching and strength training my condition has improved such that I have been able to resume my running and bike riding. If you are experiencing issues with your back I recommend you give Dr. Zapf a call because you have nothing to lose but the pain.
