Be warned that when you go to Jen Koontz for nutritional counseling/advise, you are buying a supplement program, not actually getting any nutritional guidance or information. This is what you get for your $105.00 visit.The paperwork: includes reading 4 pages of information about supplements and how they are made “naturally” and why you should take them. You don’t get to take the paperwork with you…The office visit: I was put in a room with 100’s of little bottles with pills/powders in them. I was asked some general health questions and told I was going to have a ‘muscle memory’ test, that’s what I think she called it. Jen tapped on my arms and then pushed them down and watched ‘the movement’. This was done several times, then, I was asked to lay down, and hold up my left arm and put my right arm down by my side. The tapping and pushing continued and then a little bottle with pills in it was placed in my right hand, the tapping and pushing continued. Next, the bottle of pills was taken out of my hand and four different bottles of pills were placed on my abdomen and more tapping and pushing…then, I was done. When I asked what the bottles of pills were supposed to do I was told that they ‘give off energy’ and my body ‘responds’ to it, and it tells her what I need. Next, I was told that I would have another visit in a week to get ‘the results’ and come up with a plan, I assume that means “the supplement plan”… I asked why don’t you just tell me what foods to eat instead of taking the supplements and Jen told me that foods are covered with additives, pesticides and processed and that the supplements are ‘natural’, so they are better… How is a pill not processed and/or better than eating real food? It was ridiculous!!I understand that this process works for some people, but it’s not for me. I have requested a refund, it’s been more than two weeks and several phone calls on my part with virtually no response. I want other people to know what you are getting when you go here.

Dr Jennifer Koontz is one of the few practitioners I've worked with who truly understands and works with the human body for optimal health. Her methods get right to the point of what your body needs to heal. Be aware that visits are rather fast paced because she only has so much time in a day to help as many people as she can. However, she takes the time she needs to set you up for success. Dr. Jen assesses nutritional, environmental, and physical stressors affecting human bodies and creates personalized nutritional support programs.She has helped me feel more energized, in tune with my body, and in control of my own health. I would recommend her to anyone in the CO Springs area looking for an easy alternative to mainstream doctors. This is the place to go if you want to heal problems, not just symptoms. It's financially friendly too!

I had been dealing with some lower back pain for about 5 days. As it got worse I knew I needed chiropractic help. On Sunday I scheduled an appointment for Monday morning and thankfully I did because I woke up that morning and barely was able to get out of bed. After taking an X-ray and finding out my pelvis was not level he began to work on realigning it. What a knowledgeable man Dr. Koontz is! As of Wednesday my back is feeling much better and only getting better as the day goes on! I highly recommend this practice for anyone seeking amazing help and knowledge about back problems! Thank you so much!

I can't say enough good about Dr. Koontz and Dr. Jennifer Koontz, his daughter and my favorite nutritionist! Both are incredibly reasonably priced and highly effective, dare I even go as far to say that they are the best at what they do! I've suffered from chronic pain and GI issues for years, I've worked with 2 other chiropractors, neither of which were as effective, and two other nutritionists, who were completely un-affordable for me (I could only afford to see my more recent nutritionist once ever other year as one visit would run me $700!) Dr. Jenn only charges $30 per visit and she is very specific with what supplements she recommends, all of which are very reasonably priced and of the highest quality and she only recommends what is absolutely necessary! Such a breath of fresh air! I was honestly a little skeptical of her methods initially though, she does something called "scar work" wherein she has you rub sesame oil on all of your scars and the first couple of visits she hits them all with a very specialized laser. I was skeptical because I've been in so much pain and discomfort, I was very anxious to get to feeling better and didn't see how this would cause any results any time soon, but having tried so many other things with conventional medicine, holistic medicine on my own and with the guidance of two other nutrionists previously, I was willing to try anything. Knowing what i know about the meridians in Chinese and Japanese medicine (like in acupuncture) I tried to keep those principles in mind (as that is very much so what this treatment is based on!) and give it my best. I am about a month in to the program and i am making slow but steady progress and I'm soooo excited about this! Right before my first adjustment with Dr. Koontz Sr., I was in so much pain, I had a subluxated rib, I have 3 bulging discs, and a labrel tear in my right hip. The adjustment was a little painful, but aftwerwards, my structure hasn't felt that good in a long, long time! He is anything but a generic crack 'em/wack 'em doctor, each treatment is very specialized and i get his services for half off since I'm working with his daughter on the same day each week. And, if I have an appointment and he determines that nothing needs adjusting, I pay nothing, even though he took the time to examine my spine, etc! These are incredibly good hearted people who genuinely want to help people feel better, not make a ton of money and I truly adore them both! Such a great little affordable, effective and honest little family owned and operated business! If you suffer from any sort of health issue, structurally or internally, these to are miracle workers!

Thank You Dr Koontz!!! We were visiting family in Colorado Springs and required immediate attention for lower back issues. Even on a Saturday, Dr Koontz made time to see my father twice in one day. He was able to provide treatment for a pinched nerve. He took the time to throughly explain the problem and gave us instructions on how to elevate the Dads pain the long drive home. Dr Koontz's compassion, knowledge and expertise are beyond any I have seen from any medical practitioner. I strongly recommend anyone with chiropractic needs to see Dr Koontz.
