Kent Christianson, DC

"I had an incredibly disappointing experience with "Dr." Kent's practice. I only saw Kent 2-3 times, but after my last visit, his chiropractic "adjustments" significantly worsened my hip and lower back issues. This has required two months (and counting) of intensive physical therapy multiple times a week to recover. What's even more troubling is Kent's claim that my pain was linked to "gut health," and that he believed it was causing inflammation--completely ignoring the clear structural issues revealed in my x-rays and MRIs. This assertion is contrary to the verified physical damage diagnosed by true medical doctors and specialists (information which he was provided). Instead of providing relief, his adjustments left me in worse pain, further limited my mobility, and caused me to incur substantial out-of-pocket expenses for corrective treatment. To make matters worse, every visit came with pressure to buy his supplements--including overpriced vegan protein--which he heavily promoted as part of my "treatment." I ended up spending $100 on products that were completely unnecessary and had zero positive impact. It felt like snake oil rather than genuine care. I came into this treatment with an open mind, but my experience only reinforced skepticism about the pseudoscience often associated with chiropractic care. Kent's approach not only failed to help me but actively caused harm to my health and finances. This has been an expensive and frustrating ordeal. I strongly urge others to think twice before seeking care here. I hope "Dr." Kent seriously reconsiders the harm his methods may be causing and adjusts his approach to prioritize patient well-being over profit. Edit: Dr. Kent is already responding on other sites, attempting to negate my experience and shift the blame onto me by stating that I told him I was "going a different direction." To clarify, the "different direction" I took was leaving his office because his treatment left me in worse pain than when I first arrived. His response reflects his unwillingness to take responsibility for the harm caused. When I had messaged him about the pain I was in that was worsening after his "adjustment," his response was "sorry you flamed up". Whatever that means. When care leaves you in worse condition, it isn't good care. Edit 12/3/2024: Kent has now replied to my Google review as of today and continues to leave identical responses on multiple platforms where I've shared my negative experience. His comments imply that, despite worsening my condition, I should have continued care with him because "it takes more than two sessions." I want to clarify my position: why would I return to a provider whose care left me in worse condition than when I started? This is not a case of "it gets worse before it gets better." The treatments and procedures I received caused harm, leaving me in greater pain and discomfort than before. To those considering this provider: please carefully evaluate your options and listen to your body. My experience was not one of healing but of harm, and I hope sharing this will help others make informed decisions about their care."

"Feeling great after treatment. Problem solver, as he identified the source of my problem was more than just the injury, it was some of my lifestyle choices creating weakness in the area of injury beforehand. Love the results and truly finding the problem others could not!!!"

"Dr.Kent has treated me over 11yrs. Dr. Kent has fixed my back pain MANY times when traditional doctors just wanted to throw pain meds at it. I have moved away from Naperville but will go all the way back to him for treatment! I have driven 13hrs because I was so sick of being in pain I literally crawled in with my daughter's help and Dr. Kent took me right back I was out of pain by time he was done! Afterwards I told him how far I drove he was in awe!! THAT'S HOW GREAT HE IS!! If your wondering why did I have to go so many times.. well 1st I was in car accidents then he fixes that..then birthing kids my pelvis was out of whack he fixes that! Then I got spinal cancer( I'm in remission now but have a lot of pain) and guess what? I'm going back for him to fix the pain! Traditional doctors are good but when they care more about insurance then my quality of life...its time to see Dr. Kent!!"
