I contacted this office to find out if the staff and practitioners are vaccinated. The reply was that they essentially aren't asking or keeping track. Which means "no", as far as I'm concerned. As an immunocompromised person who is vaccinated, and it's still unknown how well my body will respond to the vaccinations, I rely on the people around me, especially those who treat patients, to get vaccinated for the greater good. So, they lost a potential client. This is an FYI for anyone that needs this information.

I highly recommend Dr. Blackburn and Connection Café. In my early 30's, I began to experience pain in my shoulders, lower back, and IT bands. The pain was mild, but was increasing and impeding my training and workouts and, as I later discovered, even my work. I saw several doctors over the next few years, but was disappointed with each visit and was becoming increasingly frustrated. All treated the pain as separate, unrelated incidents and simply prescribed ibuprofen (or other various prescription and non-prescription drugs), ice, and/or rest. Some even recommended stopping working out altogether as I was getting older. The ibuprofen and rest helped temporarily, but I felt these doctors were missing something and that there was something more to getting better than just taking drugs and following the advice to ease off more rigorous exercise as I got older. A friend finally introduced me to deep tissue massages and eventually convinced me to see a chiropractor. I was reluctant at first. I had never seen a chiropractor and just did not understand the practice, nor what a chiropractor could do that a doctor could not. However, I decided to give it a try out of frustration from the doctors I had seen. It was one of the best pieces of advice I have received. Since then I have run my fastest mile time ever; completed a 50-mile ultra-marathon and several smaller marathons; and my first Half Ironman. At age 36, I feel like I am in the best shape of my life and am currently training for a full Ironman. (I have also switched to a diet high in fresh, organic, leafy vegetables and roots and nearly eliminated sugar and highly processed foods from my diet, which I believe has also helped immensely.) Dr. Blackburn has been one of the best chiropractors I have seen along this journey and has helped me tremendously over the last several months. He has been blessed as a doctor that can understand what others are experiencing and use his gifts to help and heal others. He understands the human body better than any doctor I have visited. Furthermore, he understands the body's innate ability to heal itself and how to help unlock this special healing power in each of us. While he works primarily with patients experiencing everyday pain, what I appreciate most is that he was (still is!) a star basketball player from CA that played in the NCAA at Texas A&M. He truly understands and appreciates the pains, strains, tweaks, and overuse and more severe injuries that athletes experience - and how to heal those injuries. Beyond this, Dr. Blackburn is just an incredibly kind and stand-up guy. He volunteers as a mentor to underprivileged youth at a local school, he worked to help infants in Peru, and is active in the local community. I hope you have an opportunity to meet this incredible care giver, healer, and person.

I am truly so grateful to have found this place. From the first exam and on going has been amazing. Dr. Patricias professionalism and vibe are amazing. Thank you for the adjustments, genuine care, and the laughs. Dr. Janelle & Dr. Dil are just as great. They try to focus on every Patients NEEDS by really listening to our bodies and giving us the right care. I have noticed my walk has improved which is what I initially came in for. I work at a desk all day so my posture has improved, my digestion as well (I have IBS-C) & my mood. Most people have that one thing they need to relax or chill and this is it for me. I thank you truly because finding a good Chiro isnt the easiest task, they are there for you not your money, which is huge with todays Medical agenda!!! Bless you doctors!!!

My wife and I are new to chiropractic, and Dr. Derrell is everything we could ask for and then some. His knowledge of chiropractic makes us so comfortable every time we get adjusted, and also gets us excited about continuing to learn. His passion about making people feel better and function properly is made clear anytime we interact with him. He is not by appointment only, so sometimes we get the opportunity to meet others also getting clear and connected. Everyone seems to love him just as much. I would highly recommend anyone to Dr Derrell, especially those interested in continual health!
