Tanaka Steven T

i have just received my first treatment from dr. tanaka and i had the completely opposite experience from pedro b.
dr. tanaka did a complete evaluation of my skeletal system from head to toe. he explained all his findings and relieved my low back pain with his very skilled and painless adjustments.
as a retired orthopedic acupuncturist, i have been treated by chiropractors nationwide.
dr. tanaka graduated from the oldest chiropractic university in the usa,
he is a classic gonstad practitioner and he is an awesome chiropractor.

As somebody who didn’t know much about chiropractors, it felt «comfortable» walking into Dr. Tanaka’s office after hearing about his flat rate of $ 27 per visit.
I suffered back and leg pain for 3 – 4 months, and as an educated man, I wanted the Dr. To tell me the science of what he was doing and what he had found. He didn’t. Instead he would smile and would answer vaguely… Every time.
In the time I visited him, I noticed most of his clients were field workers, construction workers, or people of low income.
4 weeks passed and I felt no relief. At this point i was spending $ 54 a week with two visits. The visits never lasted more than 15 minutes. With very little dialogue, except for me trying to get info out of him! Desperate to feel better!
I noticed his office was filled with posters of his «chiropractic missions» in which he goes to poor countries and helps people out. But his machines and equipment were old. Very old. He never seemed to invest much in his people, or evolve much in his field. And if he couldn’t help me in 4 weeks, what could he possibly do for these people in one?
As I got skeptical with Mr. Tanakas visits, and overall energy, I decided to visit another chiropractor to get a second opinion. Unlike Tanaka, I got a full body adjustment with prime care. With state of the art equipment the new doctor even detected a sprained ankle that had healed wrong years ago, along with many other minor adjustments on my neck and shoulders, that Tanaka didn’t care to address. Gees, even one of my legs was longer than the other. With this other doctor, one alignment was all it took to align the length of my leg, learn the truth about my condition and feel progress!
