Patient Stories

“After 46 years as an educator, I loved my job and spent countless hours on my feet every day. One thing I’ve learned is that taking care of your body isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity.

I retired two years ago and soon after I began my journey with Charleston Chiropractic studio. From the moment I walked through the door, I was welcomed with open arms and genuine smiles. They made me feel like I truly mattered.

During my first year, I went three times a week, and now I continue with weekly visits. Those treatments have helped me stay active, reduce discomfort, and feel my best. Their caring staff and personalized approach have made a real difference in my daily life.

Taking care of yourself allows you to keep doing the things you love. I’m so grateful to Charleston Chiropractic studio for helping me stay healthy, strong, and enjoying this chapter of retirement. Thank you for all you do!”

Deborah, Patient of the Month August 2026

“Chiropractic care has made a meaningful difference in how I feel overall, especially during and after pregnancy. I’ve been a patient for a few years, and throughout that time I’ve experienced consistent support and improvement. As my body changed, regular adjustments helped relieve tension, improve alignment, and ease the discomfort that comes with carrying and caring for a baby. Postpartum, it’s continued to support my recovery by reducing aches, improving mobility, and helping me feel more balanced and energized.

Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo are so caring and personable, which makes each visit feel comfortable and supportive. It’s become an important part of my self-care routine and overall wellness.”

Holly S., Patient of the Month April 2026

"Chiropractic care through Charleston Chiropractic Studio has helped me stay active as I age by improving my mobility and reducing aches that could slow me down. Regular adjustments have kept me feeling strong and flexible, allowing me to continue doing the activities I love. Thanks to Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra"

Patrick D., Patient of the Month March 2025

"I have had off and on back pain since I was injured in high school sports. So, I have seen my share of Chiropractors over the years. I can say that I have never received the type of care that I have received from Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra. They do an amazing job of making sure you are knowledgeable of how your body is progressing with the adjustments. They truly care about all of their patient’s overall health. Since I have been coming here, I don’t have the recurring pain that I once had before. So, if you’re looking for a place to get healthy and stay healthy, stop looking you found it."

Kimberly A., Patient of the Month June 2024

Chiropractic care has become a life changer for me. I came to Dr. Leo & Dr. Kasandra with debilitating migraines and some upper back and neck pain. In less than 2 years, my migraines are gone and my neck and back pain has become very minimal. My overall health has improved since getting adjusted! I’m very thankful for their holistic approach and education along the way. I can’t recommend Charleston Chiropractic Studios enough!

Nicole K., Patient of the Month – April 2024

Drs. Leo and Kasandra are amazing! I’ve suffered from neck and lower back pain and stiffness for years. When I came to Charleston Chiropractic Studio, they did a full assessment and got right to the heart of the problem to correct the issues causing my pain, not “bandaging” it! I tell people all the time, “You probably spend more time and money getting your car aligned than your body!" Trust me when I say Chiropractic care can be life changing, especially with Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra!

Beth G., Patient of the Month – January 2024

After spending a majority of my life riding horses (and falling off of them), I was in daily discomfort. As I wrote on my initial paperwork  “Everything hurts all the time”. I gave chiropractic a try and I couldn’t be more grateful to have found Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra! Not only were they incredibly thorough in identifying issues, they were able to explain their findings and plan of action in a way that was understandable and encouraging. I’ve spent years trying to get help from my doctors and have always been brushed off. Within the first few visits here, I was already feeling like a new person. I forgot what pain free days felt like, and I’m so grateful that I have more of those good days than not now. It’s always a bubbly and positive atmosphere, so every visit is uplifting. It’s obvious that although they have an incredible amount of patients, they still take the time to connect with each one personally. I can’t recommend it enough!

Hayley C., Patient of the Month – December 2023

I have been getting adjusted since I was a newborn because my dad is a chiropractor. Since moving to Charleston and away from my family, I have been looking for a kind and gentle chiropractor for a long time. I truly feel like I have found that at Charleston Chiropractic Studio. I originally was seeking care for severe numbness, tingling, muscle spasms and constant pain in my upper back and shoulders. Since completing corrective care and moving on to my wellness journey, I feel 100x better. Both Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo always take the time to explain everything and make me feel comfortable during every interaction. I am so thankful to have found them because they have completely changed my life!!

Hayley, Patient of the Month – October 2023

Charleston Chiropractic Studio has helped me in more ways than 1! This practice has not only helped my day to day well-being, but also gave me a sense of community.

Today, I have more energy, a better mindset, extremely better posture, and a charming chiropractic studio that I can call home. I can’t begin to thank you all enough!

Cassidy, Patient of the Month – September 2023

We are thrilled to share our exceptional experience with Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra’s chiropractic care! Their extensive knowledge and expertise in chiropractic techniques truly set them apart. They took the time to understand our specific concerns and crafted personalized treatment plans that have yielded incredible results.

Under their care, we have noticed a significant improvement in our overall well-being, including reduced neck pain and increased flexibility. Their dedication to their patients’ health and genuine concern for their well-being is evident in every interaction.

Their warm and friendly demeanor, combined with their professional approach, creates a comfortable environment that fosters healing and trust. I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra to anyone seeking top-notch chiropractic care. They have undoubtedly made a positive impact on our lives, and we are grateful for their outstanding service.

Dustin & Melinda Slider, Patient of the Month – August 2023

I have had back and neck pain for the last 20 years. I have seen many chiropractors across the country but continued to still have pain until I found Charleston Chiropractic Studio. Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra have changed my life. Staying on a routine under their care has allowed me to no longer have pain in my back and neck. All of their staff is friendly and accommodating to my busy schedule.

Heather, Patient of the Month – July 2023

Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra have made a big difference in the quality of my life. The staff has always been upbeat, friendly, and helpful. If you’re reading this, then you are in the right place.

Andy, Patient of the Month – June 2023

As a migraine sufferer, I felt like I had tried everything to manage my headaches, and I was so frustrated by the impact migraines and headaches were having on my life. Some dear friends suggested chiropractic care and specifically recommended Charleston Chiropractic Studio. Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo and their team have been amazing from day one. They listen, and they care. They have taught me so much about the importance of chiropractic care for my overall health. Best of all, my migraines are now few and far between, and my quality of life has improved significantly. No more having to cancel plans or miss out on time with my family thanks to Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo!

Katherine, Patient of the Month – May 2023

I was a regular of Chiropractic care until my Chiropractor relocated during COVID. During that time I did not realize how important those regular adjustments meant for my body. In 2021 my neck pain resurfaced and that’s when I knew I needed to seek consistent Chiropractic care once again. I am blessed to have Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo on my team. Now, I can continue my wellness journey living pain free. Thank you both for all your hard work to get me where I am today. I would not be able to continue my adventures around the world without your help along the way.

Brittany, Patient of the Month – April 2023

My whole life I have been an active doer. Always moving and getting things done, but for over 10+ years now, I have been dealing with chronic back pain. After seeing multiple spinal doctors and having multiple surgeries (including a bone marrow transplant and spinal cord stimulator implanted), the debilitating back pain and need for daily pain medication seemed like my “new normal”. My daughter had started going to Dr. Leo & Dr. Kasandra for a while for neck/back pain and had seen a remarkable difference! Her movement, activity, and way of life has improved dramatically. I had never been to a chiropractor before and she invited me to a ‘Dinner with the Doctors’ one night where I was able to learn so much about health and chiropractic care. Facing the possibility of having another major spinal surgery, I decided to give chiropractic care a try as a last resort. Since starting my chiropractic journey, I have experienced such a change in my body! My sleeping and movement are much better and I’ve been able to reduce my intake of pain medications. I have a new “spring” in life and I couldn’t be happier. I will continue my chiropractic care because it not only helps me physically, but mentally as I am slowly able to get back to my activities and quality of life. I am so thankful for my Charleston Chiropractic Studio Family!

Chris, Patient of the Month – March 2023

After suffering from chronic back pain for over ten years, having tried everything from physical therapy, to medications, to steroid shots, with only minimal temporary relief. I thought that this level of function was simply going to be it for me. I’d just about given up on seeking any further treatment when I came across a social media ad for Charleston Chiropractic Studio. I was hesitant at first, not having any real knowledge or experience with chiropractic care, but looking back now I wish I hadn’t waited so long! From the first time I walked through their door, everyone knew my name and I was treated like an actual person, with care, concern, and compassion. Doctors Kasandra and Leo are so passionate about what they do and you feel it at every visit. They both go above and beyond in sharing their knowledge and explaining every step of the process so that you understand not just what they’re doing, but why. Their care and support has made a huge difference in improving my pain, mobility, sleep, anxiety, and overall health and wellness. It’s changed my life for the better and I continue to look forward to every visit!

LC and Addie, Patient of the Month – February 2023

I originally came to Charleston Chiropractic Studio for neck pain that was persistently getting worse over time, but instead have discovered so much more about myself and the nervous system. My weekly adjustments have changed my relationship with my body and way of thinking all together. I’ve learned why movement of the body, daily stretching and alignment of the nervous system are so important, along with creating a better relationship with myself and others. I am truly thriving, inside and out, and can honestly say it all started with Charleston Chiro Studio. Thank you so much to both Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo for their dedication and support!

Catherine, Patient of the Month – January 2023

Charleston Chiropractic Studio has made a tremendous change to my overall health and lifestyle. When I first visited the practice, I was very welcomed and extremely pleased with my overall experience.. I had been experiencing back spasms at least once a month. I was at the point of limiting everything I did in hopes of avoiding spasms. I am proud to say that at this point, spasms are not a concern to me. I am so grateful for Doctor Leo and Doctor Kasandra’s dedication to their patients. I could not have chosen a better chiropractor.

Valerie, Patient of the Month – August 2021

I was told in high school I had scoliosis, so over the years I received adjustments off and on. It was not long after I met Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo and journeyed with them through the evaluation process that I realized chiropractic care under their care plan would change my life for the better along with the lives of 5 of my immediate family members. To date 5 of us have gone through corrective care, including both my parents. I am now 51 and pain free thanks to Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo’s phenomenal care, support, and expertise in spine health.

Kristine, Patient of the Month – November 2021

When my family relocated to the Charleston area I was concerned about who would provide my family and I care. Fortunately for us, Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra were opening Charleston Chiropractic Studio. From the moment I met them at their grand opening, I was ready to be their patient. They have a passion for health and wellness, and a genuine desire to share that with everyone they can. We are so blessed to have such caring, compassionate, and knowledgeable doctors caring for us.

May, Patient of the Month – June 2021

I’m so thankful for Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo and their process of finding the root of the issue and working hard to fix it. I have been coming to Charleston Chiropractic Studio since January of 2020 and now our two children and my husband, John, receive their care. My pain is practically nonexistent and it has improved our entire family as a whole. We are forever grateful to their passion to help others and their empathy and listening ears for their patients.

Liz, Patient of the Month – May 2021

Charleston Chiropractic Studio has been a huge part of my life for the past 2 years. Some people think chiropractors are a joke, but I am a walking testimony that they are healers, especially Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo. I have gotten several family members and friends to get evaluated (and commit), and they were easily convinced at how chiropractic care will not only enhance their life, but keep them healthier and more mobile!

Chelsey, Patient of the Month – December 2021

I sought out chiropractic care and found Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo. After visiting their practice for two weeks I knew that I needed to begin chiropractic care for the whole family! In three short months we began seeing a change. As a family, we have noticed a boost in energy and a clearer, more positive mindset. We are forever grateful to have found Charleston Chiropractic Studio and look forward to each visit!

Kelley, Patient of the Month – September 2021

I have been a part of chiropractic care my whole life. When we moved to Charleston we went on a hunt for a good chiropractor and are so blessed to have found Charleston Chiropractic Studio. We went to the grand opening and as soon as we were able to, we had our whole family on a wellness plan. Our bodies are stronger and our minds are clearer for it. Dr. Kasandra and Dr. Leo are the best and our son thinks they can fix every little booboo. We love it here!

Kaitlyn, Patient of the Month – April 2021

Charleston Chiropractic Studio has provided an absolutely wonderful experience for our entire family! Through the unbelievable care of Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra, both of us are feeling 100% better and our bodies are realigned. We also recently had a baby Zahrah, who suffered a traumatic birth. Again, the pediatric care provided by the studio has been outstanding and our entire family is now living a happy and healthy lifestyle. We highly recommend their care to everyone.

Patricia, Patient of the Month – February 2022

I was experiencing back and neck pain for months and after my initial consultation along with examination and x-rays it was clear that my spine was out of alignment and the main source of my symptoms. Dr. Kasandra explained the proper steps that would need to be taken and within just a couple weeks I noticed a difference! After experiencing the benefits of corrective care, I still choose to get adjusted once a week for the many positive benefits chiropractic care has to offer.

Brad, Patient of the Month – January 2022

By the grace of God, my husband and I had been paired up at the golf course with Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra right before my back flared up. Their spinal analysis including the scans really demonstrate how much subluxation can affect every spinal nerve. With their care, I am now back to playing golf, running, and my active lifestyle pain free. When you have regular wellness adjustments that keep your spine in alignment, you can really improve your life and health!

Alison, Patient of the Month – October 2021

Coming to Dr. Leo and Dr. Kasandra was the best decision I have made for my overall health so much so I pushed my fiancé to come along and start his journey with me! We both are on our feet all day in our careers and we look forward to our weekly adjustments! We have seen MAJOR improvements in areas we needed help in (back pains, heartburn, headaches) and we feel our overall health has been boosted as well! We can’t wait to continue on our chiropractic journey!!

Jenna and Dillon, Patient of the Month March 2022

I came to Charleston Chiropractic Studio when I was having back pain. It was the best decision ever. The doctors helped my back and make me feel better. There is no more pain when I play sports, wrestle with my friends, jump on the trampoline, and play boxing with my friends. By attending the spinal hygiene workshop, I learned a lot about the benefits of chiropractic care. It’s a smart thing to go to workshops because you can learn a lot and help get rid of back pain. The snacks are really good too! Dr. Leo and Dr. Kassandra are the best chiropractic doctors ever.

Robert, Patient of the Month – April 2022

My husband and I have been using chiropractic care for over 5 years now and it has drastically improved our overall health and well being. With both of us working in careers that can be hard on the body, getting adjusted every week has been such a game changer. We knew it was an easy choice to have our little girl get the same amazing benefits when she was born. She’s never had reflux or any trouble hitting her milestones and I definitely think we have chiropractic care to thank for that !

The Wiperts, Patient of the Month – June 2025

Three years ago, I was 38 years old with a long history of back pain, neck pain, and I had a lot of strange neurological issues. I had vision loss when turning my head and lost consciousness when my neck was in a certain position for an extended period. My ears would burn bright red and sound became muffled and uncomfortable. I also had chronic headaches and started to experience motion sickness when traveling. My issues even started to affect my ability to work at my computer without frequent breaks.

I spent thousands on specialists ranging from orthopedists, vestibular therapists, ENT and neurologists. MRI after MRI showed "no issues" yet I was in chronic pain. When I woke up, it took me 45 minutes to mentally prepare to get out of bed. I could no longer do the things I loved like riding roller coasters, traveling and playing with my nieces and nephews. I felt like a young man in a broken old body.

Everything changed with my very first adjustment at Charleston Chiropractic Studio. I couldn't believe that with my 1st neck adjustment, all of the strange neurological issues were completely gone and they have never returned. No more fainting, vision loss, ear issues, headaches, motion sickness...just like that! Within mere weeks working with Dr. Leo and Dr. Kassandra, my back pain went from a level 8/10 to a 1/10. I am so happy to say that my current back pain is 0/10.

I didn't think these results would be possible for me. I have endured a lot of injuries in my lifetime including weight lifting muscle tears, being hit by a car and a bad trampoline fall where I landed on my neck.

I jump right out of bed now and I'm able to do all of the things I hadn't been able to do in over a decade. I bought annual passes to my favorite amusement park and ride all the roller coasters! I travel with my wife frequently and when I play with my nieces and nephews, they're worn out before I am! I can work my full shift comfortably and have been able to resume studying after work in order to advance in my career.

When I found Charleston Chiropractic Studio, I was impressed by their stellar reviews, the imaging they provided, their expertise in chiropractic care and the positivity that radiates from the entire team. I quickly learned that this was exactly what I needed... the recipe for healing and success.

I would like to recognize the front desk staff for working with me to find appointments that fit with my work schedule and unforeseen delays. They have made it easy for me to receive the care that I need.

I can't thank my friends Dr. Leo and Dr. Kassandra enough. Their care and dedication have drastically improved my health, my quality of life and my outlook. I am so grateful for this new lease on life.

Sincerely,

Chris Laing

Chris Laing, Patient of the Month – August 2025

My name is Susanne Klaas, I am 41 years old, born in Dortmund, Germany, and happily married to my husband Michael, who has accompanied me faithfully to every appointment. Already in my youth, I was a passionate volleyball player, but even then I started experiencing the first signs of back pain. Over the years, these complaints became more and more severe, until I was finally diagnosed in 2017 with a slipped vertebra in my lower back.The pain became a constant companion, and by 2022 it was so severe that at times I could hardly walk. In the hospital, I was always told the same thing: surgery would be unavoidable. Pain medication was prescribed to get me through – eventually even strong opioids. The side effects, however, were unbearable, and I felt completely abandoned by traditional medicine. For me, surgery was not an option.

Alongside these health struggles, I worked professionally as the manager of my own financial company – a job I loved, but one that came with immense stress. Looking back, I can clearly see how that stress accumulated over the decades and deeply affected my entire body.

When we moved to the USA, I felt utterly hopeless, convinced that no one could truly help me anymore. Then I came across the Charleston Chiropractic Studio through a Facebook ad – and for the first time, I was positively surprised. Here, someone actually took the time to listen to me: a thorough examination, a detailed discussion of the results, and a clear, well-explained treatment plan. What I valued most was that everything was explained in detail – what was being done and why it would help me.

And indeed: after just the first three sessions, I felt as if the burden and stress of decades had been lifted off my shoulders. I could sit, stand, and walk again without pain – something I had never thought possible.

Today, I not only attend my appointments with joy, but I actually look forward to them. Here, I don’t just experience outstanding professional care, but also a warm, family-like atmosphere. Each visit leaves me feeling lighter, healthier, and happier. I am deeply grateful for this experience and never want to miss this unique form of chiropractic care or the skills of Dr. Kasandra, Dr. Leo, and the entire team – who are also especially kind and friendly.

And therefore, there is only one thing left for me to say in German:

"Danke Charleston Chiropractic Studio: Ich bin euch unendlich dankbar für ein neues Leben ohne Schmerzen! <3“
