Modern Day Manifesto

Dr. Jesse Riley is not your typical chiropractor in the best way. He treats holistically by identifying the route cause of the issue. He incorporates strength training into treatment. It... Read More is obvious when working with him, that he wants you to move better and with less discomfort.
Dr. Riley has helped me with a strange foot numbness and lateral knee pain that occurs when running. He is creative with treatment and problem solving. Best of all, he is an all around good human, fun to work with, and wants the best for his patients.

Dr Jesse Riley has been a tremendous help to me over the past few years and I highly recommend him to any athlete struggling with injuries big or small or... Read More looking to accomplish big things.

I am a chronically injured ultra-runner who has struggled with a myriad of overuse injuries through the years. I was referred to Jesse by my running coach to work on some chronic knee pain and a hamstring injury. I've gone to many PTs and have never had great results so I was very skeptical that he would be able to help. From my first visit, it was clear that Jesse was different than any other PT I'd visited before. He spent so much time just listening to my history with pain and actually used the information I shared to create a custom treatment plan. For the first time, I felt like my PT was actually invested in my results and wanted to see me succeed. With his help, I was able to complete the Leadville 100 Trail Run and now I have my sights on my first 200 mile race! Happy to have Jesse on my team to help see me over the finish line healthy and happy.

I came in with a lot of hip pain, after trying several other physical therapists, yoga, and strengthening and stretching over the last 5 years. Dr. Jesse ultimately pinpointed... Read More the issue after only a few sessions. Thanks to his guidance and care, I'm pain free now, and even forget which hip it was that hurt sometimes. I appreciate his problem solving approach, and his genuine nature is also friendly and makes him approachable. I felt like he wanted to fix the issue so I don't have to come back, rather than get me setup on routine visits. He is that "partner in your health" that you hope for when you go to the doctor. Had I started here, it would have saved me a lot of time and money, oh yeah, and pain!

Great compassionate doctor, always showing concern and solutions for your problerms.

Dr. Jesse has been great and I highly recommend him! I was referred to him by my personal trainer to address some of my limitations/struggles.

Here are some things about him... Read More and his practice ...
- Genuinely listens to you!
- Addresses the issue and focuses on it.
- Asks what YOU want, not what he thinks you need.
- Helped me figure out how to reduce my limitations / struggles. I've seen improvement in my mobility and increase in strength. I no longer feel STUCK! :o)
- Great sense of humor!

I had a chronic pain in my shoulder and collarbone for 3 or 4 years, maybe more. I didn’t think anything could be done about it. I didn’t... Read More know much about physical therapists and what was possible. I started thinking, this is what getting old is like. Aches and pains are going to develop, and you’ll just have to live with it.

The pain in my shoulder developed over time, it wasn’t severe. It didn’t stop me from being active, (I like to run, work-out, ski, hike, etc.) but it was a constant nuisance. Always there, causing discomfort, sometimes real pain – maybe I slept on it the wrong way that night, it would bother me all the next day.

Before starting treatment with Dr. Jesse, I think I spent a lot of time worrying. Worrying that I’d have the pain forever, that it would get worse over time, and other new pains were going to develop.

I tried massage therapy. It didn’t work. In fact, after getting a massage, my shoulder tended to hurt more for the next day or two, returning to normal pain levels after that.

Since coming to see Dr. Jesse, I am living pain free. For that, I am so grateful. Just as important, I’m not worrying anymore. I feel like any future issues can be managed and solved. In fact, that happened too - once my shoulder issue was resolved, I asked for help with two separate issues related to pain in my feet. Dr Jesse solved both! I was amazed.

Obviously, resolving my issues is what mattered most. But what I really appreciated was the mindset Dr. Jesse had about running, in particular. I have always heard that you have to give up running when you get older. Dr. Jesse’s attitude was the opposite, he said with confidence, “We will get you back out there running, pain free!”

To be honest, I was skeptical. But he was right. I don’t have to give up running or being active. And I don’t have to accept chronic pain for the rest of my life.

Dr. Jesse!! For context, I am a personal trainer and in the “movement is medicine” camp and am wary of prefab/rehab programs that dismiss strength training.

So: Whenever I encourage somebody... Read More to visit him, I always tell them “he is NOT the typical chiropractor you’re thinking of! He’s not just going to crack your back and make you sign up for 10 more sessions. It feels good, but it’s not the solution.”

He’s honest. He’s FUNNY. He’s relatable. (Go Midwest!) He talks in easy-to-understand terms that me and my clients who I refer truly appreciate.

He understands movement & strength training, and his amazing knowledge of the body & rehabilitation works alongside his client’s goals/fitness/life.

I met him on Instagram, build trust and admiration, and have loved every visit with him. I mean, while I love the dry needling and the massage gun relief, the best part is leaving the session with a game plan and honestly, just being in his company. He cares about clients.

My clients who go to him say “I feel heard” and they go back.

I’m grateful to have him in my circle. You will feel the same.
