A fantastic first question. After all, I’m a chiropractor. How am I supposed to “crack” or “pop” you any ways? Well this is where the Modern Day portion comes in. You can read more about my principles of what a Modern Day Chiro is here but the shorter answer is this. Prior to our first online appointment, I will have your initial intake and questionnaires based on area(s) of complaint. From there I will analyze all this information, again, prior to our first engagement. During our initial scheduling, I will re-cover your history and may ask other questions. As we finish our initial conversation, I will send you videos of movement based tests I’d like you to record for me (using an app called Hudl Technique). This requires a good bit of moving around so it is encouraged to wear something you can move freely in. Once I feel we have covered that portion, I will sit down with you during a follow up appointment to answer all of your questions, clear any confusion, and get you started on a few things to better your current state. The goal of the first initial appointments are all about empowering, enlightening, and educating!
First off, we have to work on that mentality my friend! In this day and age, we have amazing tools and leaders in all fields of medicine. One of my main personal principles is I’m not here to bullshit. I got into the passion of helping people better themselves, not my ego. With that being said, if we are not a good fit together, be it because I cannot personally help you OR we simply just do not mesh well personality wise, I will exhaust every effort to find you someone(s) who will. I work well with others despite being an only child.
Yeah I try to get that part out of the way quickly while respecting you are paying me for your time and my ideas.  There’s a couple ways of navigating this that can be better covered through your initial email but Square, through the scheduling app, or a couple other payment portals that are secured, work more than enough for me.  This all being if you book through an online consultation.  Live consults will be handled via personal transactions at the office.
The answer is clearly multi factorial as nothing is black and white. I know this isn’t the definitive (aka black and white) answer you are looking for but we can blame the current process of the medical community (and for that matter the modern age) for that. We always want the “fix” or “quick solution”. As we’ve seen the quick fix is opioids and here we are sitting in an opioid epidemic. Band aids work well for the short term but learning from the experience of why we needed the band aid and what to do in the future is an invaluable lesson. This is the part where I quote the “fish for a man…teach a man to fish…”. I’m fully transparent during our meetings with taking what I see on video along with our interaction to give you an estimate for a timeline. Either way, this is a process and should be approached as such! Success doesn’t happen over night and if it did, it wouldn’t last very long. If you want a quicker fix or success quickly, I understand that completely however we are not the right fit for one another if that is the case.
I’ll answer this in two pieces: one from your perspective and one from my perspective. From your perspective, I take a patient-centered approach to your care. What this means is that what may work for one person, quite frequently does not work for another person. Your pain is not cookie cutter and neither should be your care you receive. To be able to have a Doctor that treats this way, you must constantly be educating yourself on not just modern developments of your field but soft skills like human interaction and critical thinking need to be on par as well. From my perspective, I’ll tell you about my first day of school and my answer to why I chose what I do today. Everyone in my class of 200+ had some miraculous story of tragedy to triumph with a chiropractic adjustment. I admire these stories but I noticed once I told mine how much air I let out of the room. I was torn between PT and Chiro school and chose Chiro school because we were at the time portal of entry and didn’t need a script from a Medical Doctor to be seen. (I don’t like people telling me what to do 🙂 ). So with everyone’s passionate answer I sat there thinking “wow I’m a loser”. It’s all a matter of perception! My passion that I didn’t know I had was simple and direct. I just wanted to help people in any capacity with meeting goals and being the best version of themselves they wanted to be.
Your best question yet because I never like to show up unprepared. For both live and online consults, it is suggested that you wear something you can move around in easily so we can truly see how you move and not be restricted or inhibited. For runners or specific athletes, there may be some assessment of shoes and insoles so have them handy. For online clients, having something to stabilize your laptop or phone as well to do testing and consults would be ideal as to not have to exhaust our time with fiddling too much with keeping things in frame. In terms of equipment for exercise, this will be covered plenty during the examination and summary email.

He is able to address acute injuries and concerns while also seeing the big picture - both for my children as athletes and for me as a parent. He is always interested in learning about complementary treatments (acupuncture, massage, etc) and follows up after every appointment to make sure we are seeing results and clear on our care plan. Because he is a lifelong athlete, he is able to speak to kids in a way that resonates when it comes to the importance of stretching, listening to their bodies and being proactive to prevent injury and help them get the results they are working towards. read less

He is passionate about helping his patients figure out obstacles that may be in their way of doing what they love. I knew from our first session that he would be a different kind of sports chiropractor when he took the time to understand my history with running as well as understand what role running plays in my life. He is patient and curious and thorough in his assessment and he worked with me to come up with practical exercises that would help me target the issues that had been chronic in my running life for years. Jesse is not only a talented sports chiropractor that helped me get back on track and running healthy again but shows a genuine interest in his patients and their goals. As a long-time serious runner who has worked with a number of sports practitioners over the past 15 years, I would recommend his work to anyone who wants to get to the root of their injuries and weaknesses so they can get back to doing what they love. read less

It felt like my arm was being pulled out of its socket. Dr. Jesse Riley was eager to check me out and figure what was wrong - he got me right in to see him and the pain was gone within a week, due to his creative techniques in the clinic and the treatment strategy he sent me away with. His method is long-term wellness, not just short-term mediation "see you next month when the pain comes back." His manner with patients is outstanding - he's friendly, personable, eager to understand your needs. I would recommend him to anyone. read less

He has done great work on getting me back to full strength with my personal running as well as working with a number of my youth and adult athletes. His approach to problem solving with the body is unmatched. He has a skill in communicating with athletes on their level. When it comes to working with youth - he knows that athletes learn differently at different ages and he helps make movement patterns stick. I've been extremely pleased with the work he has done with my athletes. He has kept them healthy and has helped retrain movement patterns with my athletes. He was integral in helping athletes perform at Junior Olympic Nationals in 2018 with his preparation and skills allowing 2 team members on our team achieve All American status (top 25 in the nation).Again in early 2019 his work with 3 athletes led them to podium finishes at New Balance Indoor Nationals. Without his help and support they would not have been able to achieve the result. If you're looking for a smart, dedicated practitioner who listens first - Dr. Riley is the first person to consider. Highly recommended! read less

He listens to and evaluates everything and takes a holistic approach to developing a plan. Everything is individualized. I never feel like I am getting a one size fits all diagnosis with one size fits all treatment plan like I have felt with other physical therapists I have seen. We are constantly evolving workouts and exercises as we learn what my body needs and adapts and gets stronger. Jesse explains everything so I understand not only what to do but why I’m doing it and gives me very detailed feedback on exercises to incorporate into my strength training to correct imbalances and increase stability. He instilled confidence in me in my recovery and keeps focused on my goal of running pain free again - I'm almost there thanks to Jesse! read less
