I originally began seeing Dr Kathy at this practice, but since then I have seen at least three other practitioners Dr, Yen, Ashley, And Deonte. They are all wonderful people, and I … More am always impressed. I recently booked an appointment with Deonte for the first time and he was absolutely amazing.
He worked out some of the deep tissue pain and numbness in my hands that I’ve been dealing with for months. Also shout out to the lovely receptionist team who are always so sweet and considerate. I’m so lucky to have a place like this near me -
I have been using Positively Chiropractic for a long time and they have helped me through a variety of issues including back pain, hip pain, headaches and recovery from various surgeries … More and leukemia. Dr. Kathy has a great team and I have had many adjustments from her and Dr. Anna. Dr. Yen does an amazing job with acupuncture and cupping to help address a lot of issues. The staff is knowledgeable and very helpful and are a delight to work with.

I'm so glad I found Positive Chiropractic and its acupuncture team. Dr. Yen Truong is not only a highly skilled acupuncturist, but also a practitioner who genuinely cares about … More you as a whole person, incorporating meditation techniques and offering suggestions on lifestyle and mindset. Dr. Bao-Tich Nguyen is kind, attentive, and highly effective in his treatments. The front desk staff are always warm and welcoming. Both the services and the vibes here are incredibly positive––true to the name!

I saw Deonte for a massage. I’ve gone to him for years and he’s brilliant. He is efficient, personable, and incredibly knowledgeable of all soft tissue modalities. He’s great with cupping, … More Graston, and mobilizing my joints!! I couldn’t be happier with my visit to see him yesterday and will be back without a doubt!!!

I can’t recommend the Positively Chiropractic clinic highly enough. From the moment I first walked through the door, I was struck by how professional, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic … More the entire staff is. The clinic itself has a calm, welcoming atmosphere that immediately puts you at ease — something I appreciated even more because I was in pretty rough shape at the time.
After a back injury left me struggling with daily activities, I was honestly unsure if I'd ever feel “normal” again. But from my very first appointment, Dr. Kathy took the time to clearly explain my treatment plan, making sure I understood each step and how it would help me heal. Her communication, care, and encouragement made all the difference.
Thanks to Dr. Kathy and her team's expertise and dedication, I’ve gone from barely managing the basics to fully getting my life back. Today, I’m back to doing all the activities I love — something I wasn’t sure would ever be possible again. I’m incredibly grateful for the results and for the amazing people at Posi Chiro who helped make them happen. If you’re looking for exceptional chiropractic care, Posi Chiro is truly outstanding. -
I have been going to Positively Chiropractic for two years now. I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Yen for acupuncture as she is thorough, kind, professional, and genuinely cares about how you … More are doing and feeling! I leave her appointments feeling relaxed and overall better.

I lived with chronic back and leg pain for more than 20 years before being referred to Dr. Kathy and her team at Positively Chiropractic. Within just a few months of care, the pain … More that had followed me for decades was gone, and now I only need occasional monthly visits for maintenance.
Dr. Kathy and her staff are both highly professional and genuinely kind. You never feel rushed, and it is clear they care about long-term results, not quick fixes.
My only regret is not finding them sooner. If you are dealing with pain and wondering whether chiropractic care can really help, do yourself a favor and give Positively Chiropractic a try. You will be glad you did! -
Dr. Kathy and her team are an awesome patient-focused practice for holistic body-movement health. I see her practitioners for chiropractic, tissue work, and when necessary, pain reduction … More to improve day-to-day function and movement.
