I started seeing a chiropractor when I was in my teens for sports injuries and headaches. Then in my 20’s I had really bad low back pain and migraine-type headaches. I have been seeing a chiropractor ever since. I truly feel that this has helped me to be healthier and as active as I am.
My husband first started seeing a chiropractor when he was in his 20’s because of a car accident. He has been going since then for maintenance care for everyday-life’s aches and pains. He has a very physical job and regular adjustments keep him feeling good. He has been a patient of Dr. Metcalf’s since 2003 and really likes that he can walk in and be seen- no appointment necessary for most visits.
My son started seeing a chiropractor when he was very young and now, whenever he gets hurt playing sports or dirt-jump biking, the first person he thinks of is Dr. Metcalf. He says, “Mom, I'll be down to see Dr. Metcalf tomorrow.” He is learning how important it is to take care of his spine and that chiropractic care can help with all sorts of injuries as well as everyday life.

I’ve had the opportunity to be under chiropractic care since my mid-20’s, and it has made an amazing difference in my quality of life. I was always a sick kid (i.e. multiple rounds of strep throat and other common sicknesses each year) and my parents didn’t have the knowledge to find an alternative to antibiotics. By the time I discovered chiropractic, my immune system was ruined and I was searching hard for alternatives to the traditional medical system. I wanted a life of health and wellness and chiropractic was the answer.
Chiropractic is such an important part of my life and my family’s life! It has taught me to search out better wellness alternatives, which has led to a healthy and happy family. We use chiropractic care not only to keep our bodies healthy, but to also keep our mind and spirit where it should be – at an optimum level.I’m a believer and I know you will be too. Give Chiropractic and Dr. Metcalf an opportunity to make a big difference in your life. You won’t regret it!

About Dr. Jeffrey Metcalf
My personal Chiropractic journey began when I was a child. At a very young age I had horrible, debilitating migraine headaches. The headaches were so intense with feeling sick that it seemed there was nothing I could do but lay in a dark room and throw up. I would never know when the headaches would hit - at school, playing at a friend’s house or riding in the car. Dealing with these headaches appeared to be something my family was going to have to get used to without any hope in sight. After considering treatment with several different drugs (that was the only option, according to our medical doctor) my parents decided against it.
Finally, a friend of my mom’s told her about this new doctor in our town and convinced her to give him a try. This new doctor did an exam, took some films, and then ‘adjusted’ my spine. The adjustments didn’t hurt, they actually felt good. The headaches went away, and I could act like a little kid again. Oh, did I mention that this doctor was a chiropractor? It worked so well for me, and I was so impressed with the other ‘miracles’ I saw in his office, that I eventually went to chiropractic school myself. But, tell me, what if I just took the medicine? You see, my parents were not content with what traditional medicine had to offer treatment wise with drugs revolving around symptoms of sickness rather than care empowering our family to be healthier.
The results with the headaches at the beginning of my care were great, but truth be told the time in my life where Chiropractic had the biggest impact on me was when I was a teenager. This was a time in my life where I got off track a bit and lost a certain level of HEALTH. Growing up through the teenage years can be a very difficult time in life, and for me this was no exception.
Running track and cross country was a very big part of my life at that time and was a large part of who I was. I had lofty goals set for myself and saw my running as my ticket for success. Injury problems and other related mishaps got things off track and limited my ability to perform and do what I truly loved. As things got off course accompanied with some less than great decision making, girl troubles, friend troubles, boredom - all these things coming together spiraling the wrong direction made life seem pretty difficult.

Thankfully, I had people in my life lined up I knew I could trust, that believed in me (probably more than I did at this time) like my Chiropractor and coaches I had. I always knew they had my best interests at heart even at times it was hard to see it that way. With that trust I was able to keep the faith that things would work out and could embrace the idea that by keeping up with the hard work it would pay off.
When opportunities did arise I was able to make the most of them - the running turned into a full scholarship to run track and cross country at West Virginia University where I was fortunate enough to be the Big East Conference champion in the steeplechase and finish my career as the WVU school record holder in that event. Thinking back to this time the impact Chiropractic had on me health wise, was the ability to stay healthy mentally and emotionally, much more so than it was physically as an athlete most of the time. I realize now these lessons my parents were constantly trying to teach me, but at that time in my life I could only see and hear from somebody else. Today, I am so thankful that I continue to have healthy people around me to keep me on track. Seeing first-hand the impact getting adjusted had on my life, my entire family started under care, including my older brother Greg. At that time Greg appeared to be a very healthy super active kid. He had always, however, been very pigeon toed and had ongoing pains in his legs and hips. Prior treatment recommendations of braces, orthopedic shoes to force his legs straight, and such were of no help and would not be worn by an active little boy. If the problem did not resolve the recommendation had been made to surgically reset his hips to straighten him out. Needless to say this was not the path my parents wanted to travel down.
As Greg progressed with his Chiropractic care he became healthier and his legs actually started to balance out. This increased level health impacted him in so many ways giving him the confidence to take anything on. Physically the impact was obvious to all as nothing slowed him down now. The path these events set in motion continue today. Following a High School running career where he was State Champion multiple times, to an All American runner at the University of Washington to now being the head Track and Cross Country coach at UW. Now he gets adjusted every week to keep up with family, friends, and the athletes he coaches.

Our Family
Our kids Gage and Stella are growing and developing so fast. Since the day they were born they have been getting adjusted to keep them as healthy as possible and to give them the best chance to take on life. This may seem like a small thing, but it will make a huge difference to them as it does with all the kids we see every day in our office. We feel so strongly that every child deserves to be healthy and that chiropractic care, to ensure the nervous system is functioning at it’s optimal, is a vital part of the process.
You know, everyday, I’m so thankful to help families be as healthy as possible. What we know about health is what we have been shown and I am grateful for the direction and courage my parents showed me. Patients come to our office with varying levels of health from infants to great grandparents with conditions such as: attention deficit/ hyperactivity syndromes, autism, cerebral palsy, colic, cancer, stomach and bowel problems, fatigue, depression, menstrual problems, chronic pain, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few. I often see people who’ve come to me as a “last resort”. “Healthy” families also come in to ensure they can be at their very best and get even healthier.
As a chiropractor, and I do things differently. I’m not going to give you medications to cover up symptoms. My job is to get to the root cause of health problems and work with that innate power inside each and every one of us to express life and health at the highest possible level- physically, mentally, emotionally, and socially. That’s the responsibility we feel we have to all of our practice members, our community and to this world around us. You can trust we are here for you and your family, and others you refer into this office, we won’t let you down.

Ensuring that the mind and body systems are functioning at their fullest potential is essential to optimal health and to the prevention of disease.

Our mission is to work as humanitarians using chiropractic as the vehicle to re-establish health and to abolish sickness. We must work together to consistently put the pursuit of our true health potential at the forefront of the minds of those around us in order to change the world now and for future generations.
