Tina SchmidtAfter my stroke over a decade ago, I was hesitant to visit a chiropractor. But, I finally got tired of dealing with the residual pain and made an appointment. Dr Chris listened to my concerns and tailored his treatment to me. I couldn't believe how much better I felt after just one treatment! The staff was very welcoming, the parking was easy, and my overall experience was amazing.read moreread less
CAVI’ve been given strength and stretching exercises by my chiropractor at Capital Health that have helped me maintain strength and flexibility. My knees and my feet have improved with this extra attention. I even had a referral to Fitness Sports for new walking shoes. The shoes have been great. I no longer take daily pain medication with these simple changes to my routine.read moreread less

The entire staff is not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly kind and welcoming. If you’re considering any of the services they offer, I’d highly recommend reaching out. They’re great at answering questions and making you feel completely comfortable!read moreread less

David GrossI’ve been seeing Dr. Ryan Hartley for the past few years for maintenance on my lower back. On each visit, he offers helpful tips and suggestions for my regular exercise routine as well as providing general maintenance care.

Clinic staff are friendly and attentive at check-in and check-out and I’m always able to get an appointment when needed. I would recommend Dr. Ryan Hartley and Capitol Health for your chiropractic care needs.read moreread less
Tricia Rivas⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I cannot say enough wonderful things about Capital Health and their Med Spa! From the moment I walked in, Emily and the entire team made me feel so welcomed.

If you’re looking for a med spa where you’ll feel heard, supported, and pampered while receiving top-notch services—this is the place. I cannot recommend them enough!read moreread less
Karin HamiltonHad pain shooting down my leg from hip to heel. Went to urgent care - ended up w/ a prescription for an anti-inflammatory & a muscle relaxer. Didn't help. Back to urgent care a few days later, x-ray, then MRI. Neither showed anything really concerning. Notably, RXs weren't helping & by the time of the MRI I was unable to walk upright (think Igor from Young Frankenstein!) and barely able to stand. Speaking with coworkers & was referred here. Called & got a visit. Dr asked specific questions about the pain, asked me to try some specific movements / stretches, then had me lie down on a table & try another movement - yeah, no dice. Dr pressed on a spot on my back said try again. OMG - no pain & could mostly do the stretch! Got off the table and was able to stand! Yes still with some pain, but actually standing! Dr said we can fix this, might take some time but we'll get there. Just had 3rd visit & improving every time. They're very focused on just doing what needs to be done - not 'selling' anything. The goal is to get you better, period. If I push too hard (or don't do the homework stretching!) I can tell, but I have no doubt I'll be back to normal in no time.read moreread less
Barby HardingI have seen Ryan about my knee before, but it has been several months, at least. I had an appointment with him today because my knee was causing pain from my hip to my ankle and range of motion was limited and painful. He quieted my fears. He was patient with me and worked through all the issues that were alarming me. By the time he was done with me, I was so relieved and felt better and knew what I needed to do to handle this present challenge. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ryan for your knowledge and gentle encouragement. I have a follow-up appointment in a few days, and I know I will have a good progress report, because of how I have improved just today, repeating my exercises that Ryan encouraged me to do!read moreread less
Marcus IwigI recently injured my back and was referred to Dr. Ryan. He worked with me to deal with the pain and to begin the rehab process. I saw dramatic improvement while working with him. Dr. Ryan is very kind and compassionate. It was a great experience and I highly recommend.read moreread less
Emma NelsonI loved my glacial facial with Emily. I’ve always had incredibly sensitive, inflamed, acne-prone skin. I was nervous how the facial would affect my face, but the dermabrasion exfoliation was gentle yet thorough. I didn’t realize how much build-up of dead skin I had. The cooling cryomodulation felt amazing and icy, helping reduce redness and puffiness on my skin. For weeks after, I noticed that my pigmentation was much more even. The experience was so nice and I’m looking forward to my next one!read moreread less
