South Austin Chiropractic

A wonderful find. My chiropractor left the country temporarily to be with and take care of family. He was gracious enough to connect me with Dr. Peltan at South Austin Chiropractic.
I have been to more than 30 chiropractors, all in Austin, since approximately 1989. I was blessed to be informed of the critical benefits of chiropractic almost 30 years ago and have received tremendous benefit from every chiropractor I have ever been to.
My current doctor and his friend, Dr. Lee, that referred me to him are the ONLY 2 chiropractors I have ever been to that provide a much softer, gentler adjustment. I was quite surprised the first few times about how gentle the movements and pulls and pushes were, so much in fact that I intentionally paid extra attention to how everything felt between adjustments. I was having a hard time believing that these movements, as gentle as they were, would be as helpful as all the other chiropractors I have ever been to. I am THRILLED to be able to say that this light force treatment is at least as beneficial and much less harsh jerking of the body. Hopefully I will be using the services of these two Dr. s for years to come.
A much needed bonus— He is very reasonably priced, very courteous and genuinely is interested in helping all his patient’s get their body back in «line».

Love this place. Gentle Dr. Of C. Always sets my spine right. Highly recommended by this healer.

Dr. Peltan is extraordinary. It’s truly amazing how well he knows and works with the body. The front desk was warm and welcoming and were able to fit me in as soon as possible. Dr. Peltan asked some questions regarding stress level etc and then popped me right into place! I felt so amazing after and feel so amazing after several adjustments! I would recommend this chiropractor to anyone. He’s truly a healer!

Dr. Peltan is incredible and we are very fortunate to have his care. I appreciate his healing and intuitive gifts for such a time as this. Jennifer is a pure delight when you walk through the door. I adore this place!

Forest is great!
He definitely cares about giving care, takes the time to do good work, and can fix more that just backs.
Several times I came in with a random pain in a wrist, shoulder, etc which I would always preface with «You probably can’t do anything about this but…» Yet, sure enough, he was often able to help resolve.
I recommend him whole heartedly!

Not a place for severe conditions, or things like scoliosis.
Or even degenerative conditions.
My scoliosis was pushed into a worse case due to lack of chiropractic knowledge here.
Ended up at Bee Caves Scoliosis center and had to work through a lot of physical therapy help there.

Dr. Forest Is the best Chiropractor I have ever visited! I have had issues with my back, neck, and shoulders for many years, and have visited many different Chiropractors. No one has ever even come close to helping me as much as Dr. Forest has. He is so amazing at what he does, I nearly fell in love with him on my first visit. Seriously, he is the reason why I have my life back! I was confined to my sofa most days before I began treatments. I am now physically active, and feel amazing; and have not even had to take the hard core prescriptions given to me by my previous Doctor. Thank God for Dr. Forest!!!

Another well-​deserved 5 star review for South Austin Chiropractic!
I’ve seen Dr. Peltan for the last month, 3 times a week currently. He is always gentle, exceptionally «in tune» with what is going on with my body, and genuinely enjoys what he does. When I told him it was my first time to visit a chiropractor, his eyes lit up with excitement and he pulled over his display spinal column to show me the works. He also sent me home with a nifty sheet which displays the spine, with each vertebra and associated nerves clearly labeled.
Now, I am typically looking for a bargain. I have insurance, but Specialist fees are a bit ridiculous and often not do-​able on a 3x a week basis. His price for a single adjustment out of pocket is great (way better than my insurance price), and if you buy one of three package options it gets even better. Needless to say, after my first adjustment I promptly purchased the largest package available (which is 50% off an already incredibly low price — no kidding).
I’d also like to mention that they are very efficient and the entire experience takes no more than 30 minutes. Most times it takes a lot less. My first visit was obviously the longest. I called them up, booked an appointment for later that afternoon, and printed off the New Patient Forms from their website. I walked in, was assisted by the wonderful receptionist Jennifer, and waited my turn (I was early). One patient was being adjusted and another was waiting. Since I was new and had an appointment, and the person waiting was a walk-​in regular adjustment, they offered for me to go next. I politely declined, I am a patient patient (hehe) and didn’t mind waiting. Everyone, including the walk-​in patient, was just so nice! Once my turn arrived (exactly on time for my appointment even though technically I waited for two others to be adjusted before me), Dr. Peltan asked me about what was going on. Then he explained to me what the spine is all about, and had a crack at me (couldn’t resist)! It was ahhhmazing! I particularly enjoy the part where I lay on my side and he magically twists me and everything from base to neck cracks into place!
Needless to say, his adjustments always leave me feeling excellent, with more energy than before. My back is clearly (to me) on its way to healing (at long last!!) and I cannot thank them enough for being so good to me! They are also very helpful with referrals to massage therapists of all varieties, acupuncture, yoga, and other practices that aid in an overall state of well-​being!
Go visit, and thank me later.

Awesome! He actually explained everything to me really well, and met with me on his day off to help. Such a sweet guy! Very pleased! Ill be coming here a lot more often.

This chiropractor is the best! Don’t let the quiet nature of Dr. Forest Peltan fool you. He is tapping in and working intuitively. He can bring out a sense of well being in your neck and shoulders you have never experienced before and that is saying a lot coming from a seamstress with a full time desk job. The girl at the front desk, Brittney, is as pleasant as can be. They never mind if you just show up for a tune up just because you were in the neighborhood. It is clear he has a true interest and passion in healing and a gift for carrying it out.

After stumbling upon the website, I took a leap of faith to visit South Austin Chiropractic. Dr. Forest Peltan was surpassingly kind, and he has an intuitive healers touch. Also, Brittany who handles the front desk is super sweet and helpful. Whenever I go in for an adjustment I feel safe, well cared for, and rejuvenated in mind and body. I highly recommend keeping your body tuned up at South Austin Chiropractic.

The most amazing chiropractor I have ever been to!

I have seen a lot of chiropractors in the last 6 years as I have moved from city to city and I can say that while many of them practiced the craft, I can tell that Dr. Peltan feels this out as an art.
He makes my adjustments smoothly and without force every time. He doesnt feel the need to use electric stem or to overstretch muscles and he is extremely gentle. I can tell that every time he makes an adjustment he is thinking hard about what he is doing and is sensing how to help the body.
I have only been seeing him for two weeks and I can already feel the shift in alignment from a moth ago when I was with another doctor. He is definitely improving my condition.
The front desk is also friendly and helpful and the office is a peaceful place to be.

I cannot speak more highly of Forest as a chiropractor. I first saw Forest when a disc slipped in my neck, he fit me in within a matter of a couple of hours. That was almost 3 years ago. My physical health has been tremendously improved since going to regular adjustments by Forest. I never considered how much a chiropractor could improve how I feel from improving my mood, my headaches and my general physical health.
Forest accepts insurance and also for those who don’t have insurance he has extremely affordably prices and is always willing to work with patients in this area. This speaks volumes about Forest as a person and as a chiropractor. Forest truly cares about the health and well being of his patients.
His office is conveniently located and while the parking can be a little hectic sometimes but trust me it’s well worth it in the end.

Dr Forest is an incredible healer and speaker of the truth when it comes to chiropractic. He listens to your concerns and his adjustments come from the heart. Whenever you are in Austin or if you live there make your way to South Austin Chiropractic to maximize your life!

Dr. Peltan is wonderful! I’ve been seeing him for a few years now off and on as I’ve had flair ups. He is wonderful about listening to patients and working with them on their individual needs.
Other chiropractors I’ve been to did not make me feel that they wanted to help with preventative measures like stretching or physical therapy exercises — it was snap, crackle, pop and then a high pressure sale for supliments or some other treat the symptom thing. None of them would work with me when I didn’t have insurance anymore.
Dr. Peltan is reasonably priced and will work with you if you are uninsured, and more than that, he seems to genuinely care about you. His office setting is very laid back and it is always easy to get an appointment — he will work you in same day! I wouldn’t go to anyone else.
