Karen J Krahl, DC

Karen was a great former colleague and I am proud she lists me along a few others locally to take her place after she retired in 2012. She is a bright and talented professional who will be missed!

My experience here was terrible. She offered a «free» 15 minute consultation for new clients. During the exam she was rushed, even though there was no one there, and rough. Then, she had the audacity to charge me $ 160 for the supposedly free exam, saying they went over the 15 minutes. What a bunch of crap. If they were going to charge me they should say so, not bait and switch. I was thoroughly turned off. I think only her friends post on Unilocal.You can dismiss this as the one «bad apple» review, but I suspect she does this to other people they just don’t Unilocal

I’ve seen Dr. Krahl for years for my lower back pain and have always gone in for maintanance. Just recently I had excruciating rib pain that wrapped around my right side. She knew just where it was & what to do. I started to feel better after the first 3 adjustments, but it took a few weeks to clear up. Now I am ready for my cruise with no fiear of a flare up.

I had some major hip pain while running (I have been a runner for years) this past Dec. It continued and stopped me from exercising all together. I went to physical therapy for two months and it did not improve at all (I actually think it got worse). I went to Dr. Krahl and the first thing she did was order x-​rays. Thank you! I love that she gets to the problem right away and sets out to make you not only feel better and actually be better. Within a week I was feeling a significant reduction in pain. I am two weeks in and feel almost no pain. She is kind to her patients and listens to them. She does a free 15-​minute consultation, so if you’re not sure if chiropractics will help your problem, you can see her without the cost of finding out. Go see her!

Dr. Karen Krahl has always provided our clients with exceptional care. She cares deeply for her patients long term health and ability to enjoy a pain free life.
Robert May —

Wow! Great Job Dr. Krahl! Excellent work. I was in an accident in 2011 and Dr. Krahl was immediately available to help me. She was very thorough and gentle. I do not like massages or the idea of needing work done on my back, so I did not have the best expectations for this experience — nevertheless Dr. Krahl was excellent. Her offices were clean, ergonomic, and focused on the back and recovery. You won’t be peddled to buy any kind of product or non-​sense that so many other Chiropractor offices are stuffed with. It’s 100% Dr. Krahl and she is F A N T A S T I C. Thank you for being a real doctor concerned about helping people in pain.

Dr Karen Krahl DC is amazing. I have known her for several years, not only as a patient but as a business professional. Her deep commitment to excellent care and her constant personal study of the field of medicine really shows up with her clients and her standing in the community. She really listens to her patients and goes out of her way to put the puzzle of their health together in an easy to understand form. I would highly recommend her.

I went to school with Dr. Krahl. She is the daughter of a famous anatomist and lived in a house where medicine was a daily conversation. Karen was the brightest student in the class and helped many of her classmates to get through the tough classes, clinical skills being almost innate to her thought process. I attended a continuing education seminar last weekend and karen was in the room when we were having an orthopedic discussion on lower back pain. It has been 33 years since we sat in class together and she is still the brightest student in the room. The familiar questioning she puts forth when there is a point of confusion really shines the light on her brilliant mind. Nothing escapes her notice when there is a clinical discussion. While on break we had an opportunity to talk about problem cases and we talked at length about a patient who had some very troubling symptoms. She talked about the lab tests and the conclusions but then came up with a brilliant treatment protocol that I would never thought of.
Dr. Krahl is different, she is not your average back and neck pain chiropractor. She can treat those problems with her hands tied.
If you are looking for a chiropractor who can get to the core of why you are not feeling energetic and your health seems to be slipping away, then go see Dr. Karen Krahl. In the world of internal medicine, other chiropractors can only claim that they are dr. Krahl’s student. There is no equal, she is the Dr. House of the chiropractic profession.
As if I haven’t said enough already, she is an amazing artist. I have not been to her office for many years but I am certain that there are some lovely paintings hanging on her walls. She will probably not tell you that she painted them. She will probably not discuss all of the community leadership positions, the amazing lectures, the radio talk shows, or horse competitions. You will most likely not hear any of this because Dr. Krahl will be too busy trying to understand what is going on with her patient to discuss herself.
I have my bias. I think Dr. Krahl is the best of the very best. I am not without expertise. I have had a very successful career as a chiropractor and I know who the best practitioners are. Unfortunately, I am also familiar with the slipshod and the charlatans. Give Dr. Krahl a call, if she can’t help you then you can come down to Pasadena and set my hair on fire!

Dr. Krahl is an amazingly wise professional who does more than just chiropractic. I particularly liked that she took the time to make sure I was properly diagnosed, medically, before she even started treating me with chiropractic and nutrition. I have never met a doctor so dedicated to addressing my entire health situation. She worked with and referred me to the best of SLO physicians and specialists. After I was diagnosed properly, for the first time in my life, she continued to follow up with my care to optimize my health… not just fix the immediate problem. This is truly an amazing chiropractor.
