It was one of those odd permutations of chance that brought me into Dr. Felch's care. I was immediately taken with his high-voltage can-do-ism, fueled as it is by professional aptitude and personal generosity.
Our first "collaboration" rid me of painful remnants of past physical insults and set me on a new plateau of comfort. Since my health issues stem from a genetic flaw which has caused lifelong chronic pain, the path to good health and freedom from pain has been a long and circuitous one. The list of experts consulted is a lengthy one indeed, involving medical specialists on both coasts and experiences with alternative therapies as well.
Through these experiences I've learned that it is my responsibility to find solutions and to make ultimate decisions about my health care. Because my health problems date back to childhood, I'd grown into the passive role expected of me by "the experts." When, as an adult, I was forced to assume an active role and to take charge of finding solutions on my own (lest I be carved up & become an unhappy host to implanted hardware - neither would have worked, by the way), I took to cobbling remedies and disciplines.
Through work with Dr. Felch, I developed a new and deeper understanding of my body and of ways to maintain the progress we make consistently in treatments. I posed endless questions; Dr. Felch always has answers and suggestions to keep me an active "director" in my health care. He... and I... put an end to my grudging toleration of pain and helped me raise the bar on expectations of achieving a life free of pain.
With his keen medical (eastern & western) understanding and through the application of the principles of kinesiology, chiropractic and other disciplines (he's a "cobbler," too!), and his equally adept intuition and empathy, Dr. Felch is the ideal health expert. A healer whose approach and methodologies are as eclectically-informed and professional as they are competently and personally applied. He is exemplary as a true "holistic medicine man."
I continue my work with Dr. Felch (more than two years now), though treatment frequency lessens as I make more and more progress. I've sent many people I love to him - the acid test of trust and confidence. To you who are considering benefit of his care, I recommend Dr. Felch heartily and without reservation.

Relief from years of pain
I originally consulted Dr Felch for a shoulder injury which I had been seeing a physical therapist about for almost a year. Within two months of adjustments and treatments from Dr Felch together with his prescribed focused weight training my pain disappeared and I regained full movement of my arm.
I had also been suffering from constant lower back pain, of differing levels, for over 15 years due to a right-lumbar fairly severe scoliosis. With the same treatment Dr Felch has helped lessen the severity of the curve and remove 95% of that pain... I even have many days with no pain at all!
The adjustments together with a supplement program styled for my needs have changed my life physically, psychologically and emotionally. Thank you Dr Felch!

I chose Dr. Ken Felch as my health care provider because I wanted an integrative approach to my healthcare management. Coming to Dr. Felch with an unresolved serious hamstring injury I was looking to regain competitive mobility on the tennis court. Tennis is a sport that requires a delicate interplay of mental, emotional and physical fitness. Having exhausted the avenues of traditional medical care, I searched for a new approach to end what seemed a never ending limiting list of sports injuries. I needed a health coach - a trained professional that could empower me as an athlete with self knowledge so that I could continue to perform at my best on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis. Dr. Felch has more than met my need for such a health manager. In July 2007, I hit a personal unprecedented spot of # 1 in the Northern California Women's Open Singles point standings. What had seemed like almost the end of my enjoyment of sports now seems like a great beginning. I credit Dr. Felch for getting and keeping my body in great shape. Having entrusted my health care with Dr. Felch, I am now looking forward to continue playing sports for a long time ahead.

We have been seeing Dr. Felch since he started his practice and have
thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated his services. I get "tune-ups" twice monthly and feel that it is the best kind of preventative
maintenance for my body I could have. He also has tested, advised and treated me for my low functioning thyroid and adrenals and the results
have been very successful... my energy level is fantastic. Tom sees Dr. Felch 3-4 times/month for treatment of an old injury due to years
of elite athletic training and continues to see wonderful progress. What I love most about Dr. Felch aside from his level of expertise is
his genuine concern for our health and his passion for healing our bodies. He loves what he does and establishes a wonderful rapport with
his patients.

We are a Foothill Chiropractic family. We both schedule appointments about every two weeks for tune-ups and more serious stuff when necessary. We enjoy dancing, hiking, and gym workouts. We are ages 60 and 72, respectfully, and Dr. Felch keeps our bodies going strong. Ken Felch is not just a terrific chiropractor, he's a wonderful human being. Check him out.

After moving 85 miles north of Dr. Felch's office,
we've continued to drive to Los Altos twice a month for continued treatment. The decision to drive the long distance speaks highly
of our regard for Dr. Felch as a dedicated healer and quality person. Having seen many chiropractors over the last 25 years,
he's one of the best - highly skilled and confident,
personable and committed to life-long learning. Merely being in his presence has a healing effect!

My husband and I have recommended Dr. Felch to many of our family members and friends. In addition to being an exceptionally attentive and compassionate healer, he draws on an enormous breadth and depth of expertise to provide holistic care that we find to be extraordinarily helpful.
