Results From Athletes Like You

  • Dr. Kauffman is one of the biggest reasons I am able to do the sport I love so much.

    As a cheerleader and a collegiate powerlifter, I put a lot of stress on my body. Last year I had a micro tear in my peck and thought I was done competing for the year, till Dr. Kauffman introduced me to dry needling and it worked wonders. Not only is he great during an appointment but he has given me advice that I use everyday during training.

    I trust Dr. Kauffman with my family, friends and would highly recommend him to anyone!

    -K.C

  • I had been struggling with persistent back pain when I decided to seek [Dr. Kauffman’s] expertise. After a few sessions with him, I experienced significant improvement and relief. One of the things I appreciate most about him is his approachability and willingness to discuss any concerns or questions I had. He not only provided exceptional treatment but also offered valuable advice tailored to my situation.

    - J.K.

  • Dr. Kauffman is excellent! I had slept wrong on a couch and my myofascial pain was excruciating. Dr. Kauffman worked me in so I could drive home 3 hours away. The price for treatment was amazing for the amount of comfort I received. He has healing hands and definitely knows his stuff!

    - C.P.

  • I was in severe pain in my hip and my arm was tingling when I first met with Dr. Kauffman. He provided treatments and customized exercise plan and after a few weeks all of my issues were resolved. He is compassionate, a good listener, and he doesn’t charge an arm and a leg. I highly recommend Dr. Kauffman. Since I am now pain free, I am able to exercise, including long bike rides, and I have lost 80 pounds!

    - K.D.

  • Dr. Kauffman is the best! He always takes the time to figure out what might be causing my pain & continues to educate himself on new methods to help his patients. One of the only chiropractors that I have ever been to that actually gives me things I can do at home so that I won’t see him ever week. Highly recommend!

    - T.B

  • I came in with some lower back discomfort and Dr. Kauffman was able to develop a simple effective plan to strengthen my core. Dr. Kauffman was very helpful throughout this process and was able to answer any questions/concerns during my time at The Athlete Spot.

    - C.W

  • I came in with an upper back/shoulder blade pain that was limiting what I could and could not workout. He asked a lot of questions and conducted tests to really identify what triggered the pain and after my first appointment I felt so much better already. He took that first hour to teach me a lot about how to properly use my body and break habits I developed after 15+ years of gymnastics.

    - D.S

  • Working with Dr. Kauffman has been a great experience! He really listens to each individual, and understands it is not a ‘one size fits all’ solution. Dr. Kauffman took the time to personalize my chiropractic care and has ultimately gotten me back to working out again pain free.

    - A.C

  • Dr. Kauffman has been a life saver! I’ve suffered from back and neck pain for years; have seen several chiropractors and he is the first to evaluate me for spine and muscle issues. He has come up with a routine to strengthen my muscles, that cause the pain elsewhere. He’s very intelligent and I highly recommend him!

    -M.M

  • I’ve had low back pain for as long as I can remember. After being assessed by Dr. Kauffman in his office he treated me and gave me exercises to do at home with a limited number of office visits to make my treatment as affordable as possible! After a short time I have no more back pain and I am stronger than ever. Dr. Kauffman change my life. I strongly recommend him!

    - J.S

  • Dr. Kauffman not only helps to relieve current, aggravating issues, but also develops a reasonable exercise plan to avoid future injuries. He does a great job of walking you through what he’s seeing and his main goal is to help you get back to your normal life.

    - A.C

  • Dr. Kauffman will not only give you adjustments for the “right now” relief but also exercises to fix the issue and weak points so that you don’t have to be a lifetime customer. Happy to say that I’m not only improving but I’m back squatting and playing basketballs as well!

    - T.M

  • Strongest I have ever been! At 65 years old I am deadlifting 200lbs, pushing 80lbs over my head, walking 3-4 miles a day and I don’t have to rely on anyone to help me load and unload my gardening supplies! I have been working with Dr. Kauffman since before he was a doctor. He was the first person to be patient with me and teach me how to build strength so I could overcome osteoporosis and be able to keep up with my grandson. Highly recommend Dr. Kauffman! He’ll get you strong!

  • Yes - we accept both HSA and FSA cards. We recommend to all our patients to reach out to their entities directly, as guidelines vary per company.

  • We are a fee-for-service clinic, and out-of-network with all insurance plans. This is on purpose, since insurance plans don’t cover the level of service we provide, and our patients deserve. Over 90% of our patients have excellent insurance, and choose to see us anyway. On request, we are happy to provide you with a superbill (receipt for services we provided), which you can submit to your insurance company for possible reimbursement.

    Note: All insurance plans are different, and may reimburse at different rates, or not at all. We recommend speaking with your insurance company to clear up any questions you might have.

    We believe all athletes are unique, and therefore require a program tailored to their individual physiology.
