Conditions We Treat at RAK Chiropractic in Rochester, MN

If pain or a nagging condition is holding you back, RAK Chiropractic provides thorough evaluations and personalized care plans to address the root cause, not just the symptoms.

Back Pain

One of the most common reasons patients come to RAK Chiropractic and one of the conditions that responds best to their root-cause approach.

Neck Pain

Stiffness, soreness, and that stuck feeling when you try to turn your head. Dr. Ryley and Dr. Katie find what is driving it and fix it.

Sciatica

Burning, shooting pain running from the low back down into the leg. RAK Chiropractic finds the source and builds a plan to relieve it.

Headaches and Migraines

For a lot of sufferers the real problem is in the neck, not the head. Adjusting the right spots gives the nerves the release they need to stop firing those pain signals.

Pregnancy Pain

Pregnancy changes the body fast and those structural shifts cause real discomfort. RAK Chiropractic’s Webster-certified doctors keep expecting moms comfortable through every trimester.

Auto Accident Injuries

Pain after a car accident can take days to fully show up. Early evaluation protects your recovery and your claim.

Sports Injuries

RAK Chiropractic addresses the biomechanical root of sports injuries so you recover fully and stay that way.

Extremity Pain

Knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, and foot pain. The whole body, not just the spine.

Vertigo and Dizziness

That spinning, off-balance feeling often starts in the neck. Dr. Ryley and Dr. Katie treat the source naturally.

TMJ

Jaw pain, clicking, and the headaches that come with it, addressed at the structural root.

Carpal Tunnel Pain

Numbness and tingling that won’t quit often has more than one source. RAK Chiropractic evaluates from the wrist all the way to the cervical spine.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I am forever grateful for RAK Chiropractic! I truly value integrity, ethics, professionalism and good business practices when it comes to providing quality care, especially in health fields. My job is physical and Dr Riley and Katie both genuinely care about the well-being of patients. This isn't the typical chiro clinic where you walk in and out and don't feel valued. No, RAK Chiropractic provides education opportunities for you. Gabrielle is a phenomenal receptionist and always has a big smile on her face. She is intentional about remembering you by name. Anita gives very relaxing massages. I especially love the hot towels and cupping. So helpful.  The entire clinic is super clean and welcoming. I hope the docs will consider a decompression table and a rehab program as that would add a final touch for all around care. Thanks for always making me feel welcome.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Disabled veteran here, I have been having lower back pain for 10+ years and have seen countless other chiropractors, Physical therapy, and pain clinics. Had some luck with a few but no real pain relief. Seen DR. Ryley a month ago and had instant relief. Best I have felt in 10+ years would recommend RAK chiropractic to anyone and everyone. And I will be making the 2.5 hour drive to be seen by him from here on. Thanks again DR. Ryley

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I received a massage by Leanne. I explained to her I had shoulder pain and knee pain while exercising. After a fantastic massage, both my knee and shoulder pain are gone and I was able to max my weights while strength training this week! Gabrielle at the front desk is the best office manager I’ve ever met and she also deserves a raise and giant bonus.
