Brown Chiropractic

I had a very negative experience at Dr. Brown Chiropractic in Wichita. During a dry needling session, I felt sharp, shooting pains down my leg — not just mild discomfort, but strong nerve-like “zingers.” Instead of adjusting or stopping, the provider brushed it off as “normal” and continued until I insisted she stop. This was unlike my previous dry needling experiences elsewhere, where providers were always careful to avoid nerve pain. To make matters worse, she called me “kiddo.” I am a 41-year-old Captain for a major airline — being addressed that way came across as dismissive, condescending, and unprofessional. I left the appointment unsettled by the lack of care and concern. ****** I’ve read the office’s response. I respect Dr. Brown’s credentials, but my concern was never about her training — it was about how my pain was handled. I knew there could be discomfort, but what I experienced were repeated sharp, nerve-like shocks. When I voiced this, the procedure wasn’t paused or adjusted. That is what left me feeling dismissed. No other provider has ever handled it like that. Regarding being called “kiddo,” I understand they say it was meant as endearing. But in a medical setting, it came across as unprofessional and condescending. My date of birth is in my patient chart, so my age was not unknown. I wasn’t looking for compliments about my career or appearance — only to be treated with respect and care as a patient. I stand by my rating because this visit left me feeling unsafe and unheard. I hope future patients have a different experience.

I had the best experience today at Brown Chiropractic. I had not been to a chiropractor in probably over 15 years. The doctor looked at me and did some cracking and helped me understand why my body was hurting. She also suggested some stretching and other interventions that would greatly improve the pain I have been experiencing. I can't wait to tell everyone I know how amazing she is.

Always great care at Brown Chiropractic!

Very friendly I. Loved going there
