Palmer College of Chiropractic

Interns are fantastic! Knowledgable and friendly.
Best part (and really the only reason you’re probably reading this) they made me feel like I had a brand new back.
I’m actually a half inch taller now (I can say 5’1″ instead of 5′ ½″)!
(Actual results may vary)

Came here about a month after a severe ankle sprain and my only regret is not going in sooner. I have made much much faster progress with my injury and have improved a lot of other aspects of my body since making regular visits to Palmer. The staff is very friendly and professional and above all very knowledgeable about their trade.
Daniel Hopper and Dr. Pence have been amazing to work with and I cant recommend them enough. They truly care about their patients and have helped me through a bad injury.

Dr. Tanya and Dr. Pence are A-​W-​E-​S-​O-​M-​E. They’ve adjusted several parts of my body and prepared me for many of my beach volleyball tournaments. They were very thorough with their assessments and provided me with useful information and resources. I am so lucky to have found them! They’ve changed my life and I will continue to go to Palmer for as long as I need to.

I have been going to the clinic at Palmer College for a couple of months now. I have been very happy there. I have chronic neck pain and everytime I go, I get a thorough exam and adjustment from intern Kate Crowley. She is attentive and caring and very responsive to my concerns and issues. She is also fabulous at follow-​up and really cares about me as a patient and as a whole person. I’ve had other experiences with chiropractors, who do not respect other treatments I have obtained in the past. Kate is very patient and has great respect for both chiropractors and other medical providers. I also have received excellent care from Dr. Hartung. His adjustments keep my neck in allignment and pain-​free for most of the week inbetween sessions.

The staff is so courteous and the doctors are helpful with the interns so when you come in you will leave feeling great. I have chronic lower back pain and I went in for the first time last Friday but I left feeling no pain after the adjustments and treatments. I highly encourage anyone who can’t afford a chiropractor to go try out this clinic.

I started going to the college for help with a foot problem. I was assigned to Dr. Ty Pence who worked on the positioning of my foot until a couple of months later, it was good enough to start walking on comfortably. I had seen a podiatrist during this time and he determined that I was suffering from lumbar problems which were causing the foot pain. Dr. Ty had already indicated that this was the case. After the foot was no longer a problem, I started having some hip, back and neck issues that became the focal point of the treatments. I have been going for treatments for a little over a year, and most of the problems have subsided to the point that I consider myself within 90% of full flexibility. I started with 2 treatments/​week and am now down to one per week and they take much less time than when I began the treatments. I always feel much better after each treatment. I am 70 years old and don’t expect to regain full flexibility that I had 20 years ago. I am just glad that I am not in as much pain as I was before being treated.
I have found the staff very friendly, and all of the interns I have dealt with are conscientious and very well trained. I really appreciate the healing Dr. Ty has provided. His knowledge of the human body is exemplary.

Palmer West prepared me for a very successful career as a doctor of chiropractic. I feel blessed to have received such a great education, which prepared me as a competent doctor, and even more blessed to have a career where I can enjoy my work every day and help so many people!

I have been going to Palmer for my chiropractic care since 1992. I can’t say enough good things about them. My clinician Dr. Waters is great at picking interns for me that he knows will be able to handle my needs. I have very flexible joints and an sometimes difficult to adjust. We often say, if they can adjust my neck they are ready to graduate. The front office staff is friendly and efficient. And it’s obvious that everyone cares.

One of the best healing resources available. I’ve worked with the interns and teaching doctors for over a decade with amazing results. Chiropractic from Palmer West Clinic is one of the best things we can do for ourselves and an extreme value. I’ve enjoyed the opportunity to work with new doctors while helping them shape their patient interaction/​effectiveness.

Dr. Tablak is the best! Go and see her today. She moves my neck and back gently. No more feeling worse the next day.

Best chiropractic school in the west! Great professors, friendly classmates, #1 sports council club, awesome student American chiropractic association, excellent, best chiropractic program. I highly recommend this school to all prospective students. Visit

These guys Xrayed my nuts. So here’s how it went down… I show up, get walked over to another building by some guy, deal with a rude front desk woman/​girl who was more interested in her text messages than anything else.
Then I get walked back into a changing room, change and then stand around in the hallway in a smock. Two people walk me into the xray room and then I discover I’m surrounded by two interns and one woman who was some kind of intern manager or mentor… anyhow, the dr. comes in and all three people scurry to try and figure out what to do. I think – ok, no problem, this is fine, I don’t care. It’s not like they’re going to perform surgery on me.
They grab some triangular piece of lead and put it over my junk… well, they sort of guided it. It was basically a 3″ x 4″ triangle tied around my waist with some velcro. They asked me, «is the top level with your hips» and it was.
They took the xrays, but someone put the film in backwards so they had to redo it and I had to stand around for awhile while they scurried about.
In the end, then the woman comes over and says in a reprimanding tone, «it’s (the lead plate) not at your hips, it’s lower than your hips – you said it was at your hips!» I said, ‘uh, well, it was 5 min. ago – maybe you could get a larger plate?” I mean, the damn thing was the size of a Dorito. Do I look like I have gumball sized nuts? Is there something wrong with a man sized lead gonad shield?
I didn’t think anything of it really until I googl’d gonad radiation and found that their mistake (am I a fucking technician?) could have caused permanent damage.
