What our patients say
Posted on Google Ralph AufdenkampTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Kyle has helped me slowly get rid of the knot in my back that other drs have not. He listens to what you have time to tell him and is not afraid to change what he does if the treatment is not working. He is very knowledgeable and caring. I am glad I started going to him for relief.Posted on Google Scott KembleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm so grateful that we found Kyle Ruehle and the Advanced Spine Center! 40 years ago I had a Steffe plate fusion of my lower back go terribly wrong... requiring another surgery that only marginally relieved my back pain. 40 yrs I've lived with differing degrees of discomfort, vowing to never let anyone touch my back again. 10 months ago the pain also went to my mid to upper back along with my lower back.... now I was forced to make a decision to take action. My wife had already been in Kyle's program... so I took a chance and had him X-ray my spine. We looked over the x-rays and came up with a plan. My lower back and hardware were pretty messed up... broken screws... screws protruding into discs...major sway back.. scoliosis... mis aligned hips... arthritis above the plates and fusions... etc. He stated that he thought we could get to pain free. I was skeptical but joined the program of physical therapy, back adjustments, along with a couple different traction approaches, which a lot of other chiro offices don't have. After 8 weeks I am truly amazed at how great I feel overall. Not 100% free of all pain... but everything is way more manageable, and we have a maintenance program going forward. The traction services were what really made the difference. Kyle knows how to use them... and if he isn't seeing results like he wants... he adjusts the program. It's not a one size program fits all.... Kyle adapts to each individual. He did get my back to move in the right direction with 8 weeks/ 3 times per week sessions. Drove an hour each way to get there... but more than worth it! Thanks again Dr. Kyle.... your services are excellent... and I loved the music and the free lawn care tutorials were also excellent :)Posted on Google Stephanie WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I came to Advanced Spine Health Center after hearing consistently positive feedback from others who had experienced meaningful pain relief there. At the time, I was dealing with persistent shoulder pain and ongoing neck discomfort that had not fully resolved with prior treatments. Dr. Kyle performed a comprehensive evaluation and took the time to clearly explain the underlying issues contributing to both areas of pain. Appointment scheduling was straightforward, and I was able to be seen promptly, which I greatly appreciated. Based on the assessment, we initiated a structured treatment plan. For my shoulder, we incorporated red light therapy and electrical stimulation. Dr. Kyle outlined a realistic estimate for the number of visits required, and I was pleasantly surprised by how quickly he anticipated improvement. In fact, I did not need the full course of projected visits, and my shoulder has remained symptom-free. The treatment approach was entirely non-invasive yet highly effective. For my neck, I had previously relied on dry needling and trigger point injections over the past couple of years. Instead, Dr. Kyle implemented targeted exercises, chiropractic adjustments, and traction therapy. Since beginning this plan, my neck pain has significantly diminished, and I have not required any injections. The improvement has allowed me to travel and work without discomfort—something I had not been able to do consistently before. Dr. Kyle is exceptional to work with—knowledgeable, personable, and flexible. He sets clear goals and expectations, communicates openly, and delivers results. Most importantly, the treatment plan worked. I would highly recommend Advanced Spine Health Center to anyone seeking effective, patient-focused chiropractic care.Posted on Google Krystal FlynnTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My child has scoliosis and I was hesitant to use chiro, as it hasnt worked for her in the past. But Dr.Kyle to an indepth look at the issues and was able help aleviate the daily pain she was in. While also helping her day to day mobility. Thank you Dr Kyle!Posted on Google Gary CoxTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. If your looking for a Chiropractor that cares and finds ways to help individuals with their unique back problems, Dr.Kyle at Advanced Spine can help, it's a welcoming atmosphere with helpful staff.Posted on Google Kaitlyn KottlowskiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Got in quickly for new patient exam! First appointment for chiro and decompression helped a lot after a few days. Definitely felt an improvement and now feel 100% after 4 months. The addition of steps/exercises I could still do definitely helped! I do wish there were earlier hours bc it was hard to do 2-3 visits a week with work being 9-5 and a busy evening. But price is very reasonable and the appt times flexible!Posted on Google McCheala BlommersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After a little over a year of having some severe lower back pain due to a disc injury I started working with Dr.Kyle as I had done everything I could do on my own to heal my back. He did a very comprehensive consultation with me. Full x-rays of my back, neck, and mapping of my feet. With that we learned that my left leg is 1/2 inch shorter than my right which was leading to an increase in the pain in my back. We added a shim (wedge) to my left shoe which did help drastically. We started with trying adjustments but that was not working for me so we switched it up I started doing decompression therapy, which has relieved the pain by 99%. I had tried everything on my own that I could and while it may have helped Dr.Kyle has made a world of difference. I can get out of bed without being in severe pain and I have full mobility back. I would highly recommend him as he has services available outside of your standard chiropractic care. He’s got a service for pretty much anyone’s situation, and even if you don’t have health insurance, or he isn’t in network, services are very affordable. This coming from someone who pays out of pocket. 10/10 recommend.Posted on Google Michelle MarshallTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Kyle has helped me a lot with my low back pain. The decompression has done wonders for me.Posted on Google Simon CarlTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Kyle is awesome! The guy really knows his stuff. I'm often skeptical about going to a new place, wondering if im going to get sucked into a 34-visit treatment plan. Dr. Kyle was super easy to work with and he's extremely flexible with scheduling and treatment. From the first visit, he's on your side, as the patient. He presents his findings, treatment options and breaks down how it's all paid for. I particularly appreciated his concern for what I'd be paying. He doesn't immediately jump to the most expensive treatment option, unless it's what is needed. I'd recommend him above any other chiropractor in the state!
What We Offer
What It Is
Chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing and correcting misalignments in the spine and musculoskeletal system. Using hands-on adjustments and evidence-based techniques, our chiropractors restore proper joint mechanics, relieve nerve pressure, and support your body's natural healing processes — without surgery or medication.
Who It's For
Anyone experiencing back pain, neck pain, headaches, joint stiffness, or reduced mobility. Also ideal for individuals seeking proactive wellness care, injury recovery support, or improved posture and nervous system function at any age.
Benefits
What It Is
Chiropractic Biophysics (CBP) is the most research-backed chiropractic technique available, focused on restoring the spine's ideal alignment and curvature. Using precise postural analysis, mirror-image adjustments, and traction-based corrective exercises, CBP addresses the structural root cause of spinal problems rather than simply managing symptoms.
Who It's For
Individuals with chronic spinal issues, scoliosis, loss of cervical lordosis (military neck), degenerative disc disease, or those who have not found lasting relief with conventional chiropractic care. Best suited for patients committed to long-term structural correction.
Benefits
What It Is
Functional rehabilitation goes beyond pain relief to restore how your body actually moves. Through targeted therapeutic exercises, neuromuscular re-education, and movement pattern correction, we rebuild the strength, stability, and coordination needed for everyday life and athletic performance.
Who It's For
Patients recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic musculoskeletal conditions. Also beneficial for athletes looking to optimize performance or anyone experiencing recurring pain caused by movement dysfunction and muscle imbalances.
Benefits
What It Is
Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical, traction-based treatment that gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on compressed discs and pinched nerves. By creating negative intradiscal pressure, it promotes retraction of herniated or bulging disc material and encourages the flow of nutrients and hydration back into damaged discs.
Who It's For
Patients suffering from herniated or bulging discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, spinal stenosis, or chronic low back and neck pain who wish to avoid surgery or reduce dependence on pain medications.
Benefits
What It Is
PRP therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses your own blood's healing power. A small sample of your blood is drawn, processed to concentrate the platelet-rich plasma, and injected into damaged or inflamed tissue. The high concentration of growth factors stimulates your body's natural repair mechanisms at the cellular level.
Who It's For
Patients with joint pain, tendon injuries (such as tennis elbow or rotator cuff damage), osteoarthritis, ligament sprains, or those seeking to accelerate healing after musculoskeletal injury without surgery.
Benefits
What It Is
Wharton's Jelly is a substance derived from umbilical cord tissue, naturally rich in mesenchymal stem cells, growth factors, cytokines, and hyaluronic acid. When injected into damaged joints or tissues, it delivers a potent regenerative signal that supports cellular repair, reduces inflammation, and improves tissue integrity.
Who It's For
Patients with moderate to severe joint degeneration, osteoarthritis, chronic soft tissue injuries, or those who have not responded adequately to PRP or conventional therapies. Ideal for individuals seeking advanced regenerative medicine options.
Benefits
What It Is
Prolotherapy (Proliferative Therapy) involves the injection of a natural irritant solution — typically dextrose — into damaged ligaments, tendons, or joints. This controlled stimulus triggers a localized healing response, prompting your body to produce new collagen and strengthen weakened connective tissue over a series of treatments.
Who It's For
Patients with chronic joint instability, partially torn ligaments or tendons, low back pain caused by lax connective tissue, or sports-related injuries that have not healed with rest and conservative treatment alone.
Benefits
What It Is
Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) delivers specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light deep into the body's tissues. These wavelengths are absorbed by the mitochondria in your cells, boosting cellular energy production (ATP), reducing oxidative stress, and accelerating the body's natural repair and recovery processes.
Who It's For
Patients dealing with chronic pain, inflammation, slow-healing wounds, joint conditions, skin concerns, or fatigue. Also popular among athletes for accelerated recovery and anyone seeking a non-invasive tool for cellular health and anti-aging support.
Benefits
What It Is
Custom orthotics are precisely crafted shoe inserts made from a detailed analysis of your foot mechanics, gait, and posture. Unlike over-the-counter insoles, our orthotics are designed specifically for your body to correct biomechanical imbalances that cause pain and dysfunction from the ground up.
Who It's For
Individuals with flat feet, high arches, plantar fasciitis, heel pain, knee pain, hip or low back discomfort linked to postural imbalance, or anyone whose work or lifestyle demands prolonged time on their feet.
Benefits
What It Is
EWOT involves performing light to moderate exercise while breathing high-concentration oxygen through a specialized mask and reservoir system. The combination of elevated oxygen levels and increased circulation during exercise dramatically enhances oxygen delivery to tissues throughout the body, supporting energy production and cellular repair.
Who It's For
Patients recovering from illness or injury, those with chronic fatigue, poor circulation, compromised immune function, or anyone wanting to maximize the benefits of exercise and accelerate their path to optimal health and peak energy levels.
Benefits
What It Is
Major Autohemotherapy (MAH) Ozone Therapy is an intravenous treatment in which a small volume of your blood is drawn, infused with medical-grade ozone gas, and returned to your body. The ozonated blood activates powerful antioxidant enzymes, modulates the immune system, and delivers a surge of bioavailable oxygen to every system in the body.
Who It's For
Patients dealing with chronic infections, Lyme disease, autoimmune conditions, viral illness, fatigue syndromes, or those seeking a systemic approach to detoxification, immune regulation, and longevity-focused healthcare.
Benefits
At Advanced Spine Health Center we specialized in the physics of the spine. Your spine is meant to have a very specific structure and shape. When you lose the shape of your spine, or its normal resting posture, it often leads to different problems such as pain, disc bulges, arthritis, nerve pinching or irritation and a general decrease in health and quality of life. This is what we are here to correct and improve through chiropractic biophysics care.
The best way to get started is to call our office and schedule a consultation or your initial examination. We start every patient with a thorough examination to help determine the root cause of the problem. Only after the examination are we able to give good recommendations as to how to treat it.
Most insurance companies will cover some portion of the care. It really depends on your plan as to what is covered and for how long. If your insurance does not cover it, our office accepts PCD which is only $37 for an entire year (for the whole family) and it allows you to get 25-90% discounts on every service we provide.
Don’t ever let your insurance dictate your health. Your health and quality of life are much more important then your copay. We will always try to work with you to get you the care you need.
The cost of your chiropractic biophysics care depends mostly on 3 things:
All of these play a role in how long your care will take and therefore the cost. After the examination the doctor will sit down to explain the different options you have and what they would recommend out of those options. In the end, it is always your decision as to how we move forward.
Our average patient spends just over an hour in the office during each visit and we see them on average 3 times a week for 3 months.
Not all options require this much time, but correcting the spine is a lot like braces correcting teeth. It takes time to make the changes we want to see.

If there is one body part that most people seem to have problems with at some point in life, it must be the back. Back pain is such a common part of modern life that many people just accept it as normal and try to get by as best they
