King Chiropractic
Serving the community of Humboldt County since 1991, King Chiropractic is a well-respected and leading chiropractic center. We offer a broad range of techniques and services-some traditional and some innovative. Before Dr King's full retirement in 2009, Dr Shapiro took over the practice in 2008, merging their collective 70 years of experience.

Thereafter still growing and expanding, Dr Shapiro relocated the practice in 2012 to the current freestanding building in the Henderson Center area of Eureka. We believe you will appreciate Dr. Shapiro's caring but genuine no-nonsense approach to getting you back to "your best" as fast as possible!
Services
Have you been looking for a chiropractor in Eureka? Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, the chiropractic care offered at King Chiropractic emphasizes the importance of improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place.
At King Chiropractic, we take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. We have included information below about the different services offered in our office, but please call us at 707-445-2570 if you have any questions! We provide advanced spinal correction and chiropractic adjustments utilizing both "tried and true" and "state of the art" chiropractic techniques.
In some ways, one could say that chiropractic care is a bit like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work together correctly. When building a house, if you tried to build your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse.
We understand how it is to be in pain, to be unable to sleep, move, or function the way you should, or to be "just not feeling right." You do not need to remain that way! We're here to help get you feeling well, energized, and back to the activities you want and need to do! Dr Shapiro's breadth of experience and healing intuition will get you quickly back to where you should be.
At King Chiropractic, we like to keep finances as clear and simple as possible. If you have insurance, we will verify chiropractic coverage and keep you well-informed. We bill and interact with a wide variety of carriers. Because there are so many plans and policies, and because chiropractic coverage varies widely, you may wish to give us information to check your plan in advance.

I have been seeing Dr. Shapiro and his team for years. I couldn’t tell you how many times he’s saved me from pain without some long drawn out treatment plan. His goal really is to fix you and not see you except for maybe maintenance visits. I’ve gone in for everything from strained muscles in sports to sciatic and back pain to neck issues from my funky spine. I just hobbled in again today and he worked his magic. The relief is truly unexplainable, I couldn’t even sleep last night my spine felt so compressed. Highly recommend!

I started going to Dr. Shapiro about 10 years ago and I saw him regularly for my headaches. He helped me so much with the adjustments and the decompression. After a while my headaches were so rare that I barely went to him and then I ended up moving away. Before I moved he showed me some exercises to do for my neck which help a lot too. I moved back after a few years and recently my headaches have been creeping back but I also haven’t been good about doing the exercises. I put off going to him but finally I couldn’t stand my almost daily headaches again. I should have gone back to him sooner

Over the years I had been to several chiropractors. Most of them were helpful. Just a few months ago, my back and neck began to give me more pain than I had experienced in ages. Upon recommendation of an elderly friend, I went to see Dr. Dean Shapiro of King Chiropractic. His treatments work! I have begun to feel like living again and my pain is lessening! I would recommend anyone needing some pain relief to see Dr. Shapiro.

I injured my back at work and spent almost a week in severe pain. I couldn't sit, stand, sleep, breath without sharp shooting pain. I had a slight slipped disc in my lower back. I finally said that's enough and made an appointment with King's Chiropractic...WHY DIDNT I DO IT SOONER?!?! Dr. Shapiro did a thorough examination, he also found I had a rotated pelvis, I didn't even know I had! He then did a couple adjustments and after the first visit I could sit and walk again! I came back later that day for manual therapyand therapeutic exercises followed with a laser therapy session and when I left

Just went down to visit Dr. Shapiro for a last minute appointment regarding my lower back pain. The process was easy, smooth and efficient, literally just a phone call away. Dr. Shapiro is not only personable and friendly he knowledgeable and considerate and take all of your personal conditions and concerns into the equation of his treatment. He is also very educating with his patients about how to prevent injuries and maintaining proper postures and avoid inappropriate neck and back popping. I felt improvement right off the treatment and was satisfied and confident in the expertise in his practice

Went to Dr. Shapiro after a long plane flight which reactivated a serious "crick" in my neck. His expert adjustment and consultation fixed the problem immediately. His staff is friendly and compassionate, which is really nice to find when you're in pain. He has some excellent equipment (adjustment table and electro-something-or-other) that I have never seen before in other offices - and I've been to many chiropractors around the country over the years. Results were that the adjustments were less painful than I've experienced before. I highly recommend his services.

Unfortunately I have not yet been to King Chiropractic. The first time I made an appointment I cancelled to try acupuncture first. Siobahn (sp?) set up that appointment and gave me helpful information. She's great! Then I made an appointment 3 weeks later. I had a few questions the second time I made an appointment like how long it would be. My remark was "40 min that seems too fast!" Her response was "well ya...a regular appointment is only 20 min." It came off rude and snotty and I'm not even sure she noticed. Not sure if it was Jamie or Jenna. I made another appointment

I've had positive results at King Chiropractic with some chronic musculoskeletal conditions as well as with a sprained ankle, rotator cuff problem and bursitis in my knee. Dr. Shapiro's hands-on treatments are very thorough, and I usually feel somewhat better after just one session. He typically prescribes follow-up physical therapy in his office or another practice, and those treatments combined with exercises he recommends have done the trick several times. In fact, after doing his exercises for my neck--following his online instructional videos--for several months, my neck felt stronger

I have been to many chiropractors. I have even worked at a chiropractors office when I was younger. I didn't ever experience anything as awesome. I went in because my back was hurting and I had heard that he can fix my vertigo problem. He did, I no longer have the room spin - he fixed that issue in one session. Honestly the experience was great. I left breathing deeper and feeling taller and wanting to afford more care for myself. It was rather spoiling!

Dr. Shapiro and the staff of King Chiropractic have a focus on patient wellness and truly care about each individual they treat. I experience tremendous pain relief after a chiropractic treatment with Dr. Shapiro. He has shown me simple, effective exercises for relieving my neck pain and provided other recommendations that have been crucial to managing my neck pain. The scar tissue and laser work provided by Katie has made significant improvement in my range of movement and pain as well. I can not say enough for the professionalism and care provided by the doctor and staff.

As a disabled vet, my military service connected injury subjects me to chronic back problems. These injuries, as a current peace officer, make my line of work difficult. After my back went out the last time, I was in bed for 3 days with debilitating pain. After that, I managed to hobble around with walking sticks for several days, while bent in two. I had to see Dr. Shapiro. Not only is he extremely knowledgeable, he also uses state of the art technology and techniques. At no point during treatment was I in any pain as he was able to adjust to my injury and "work around" the pain. I was thoroughly

I love king chiropractic. I've been going ever since I was little. They have been able to fix things, that my doctor wanted to correct with surgery. During my first pregnancy I went twice a month and it helped with all my aches and pains so well that I didn't have any till I was ready to pop! They are reasonably priced, and always think of you and what's good for you first. Not what will make money off you. They give you honest diagnosis that my doctors always agree with. I'll definitely keep coming here.

I was referred to King Chiropractic by a friend while working in Eureka for a few months. I came in for headaches, as well as neck, shoulder and knee pain. Dr. Shapiro addressed each of my issues and I received a lot of relief in all areas. I would highly recommend him if you are in need of chiropractic care in Humboldt County!

I was able to get an appointment within 1.5 hours of visiting the office of King Chiropractic, which was much appreciated as I was in pain. My very first treatment offered some relief, and each succeeding treatment has improved my condition. Dr. Shapiro and the amazing table he uses are a great team. The staff are pleasant and professional and the wait times reasonable. I highly recommend King Chiropractic!

Short story: I had a knee injury, thought I would need surgery, but after treatment, I am completely recovered. More: For 4 months after injuring my knee, it felt like it was being stabbed with an ice-pick; I could only hobble around. I tried heat and cold, and anti-inflammatory pills. No change. After the first visit at King Chiropractic, the stabbing pain was gone, but I still had residual aching and weakness. Over time, with every treatment, my knee noticeably improved. I had times when I could not be treated for months (out of area), during those times, there was no change positive or negative

I had been going to Dr. King for years, on occasion, when I needed an adjustment. After going through a divorce back in 2008 and losing my medical insurance, I quit taking care of myself properly. Last year (2014) I was having some chronic issues flaring up and my friend Tiva had mentioned King Chiropractic and I told her that I'd heard Dr. King had retired. She said she'd been going to Dr. Shapiro who had taken over King's practice and was utilizing the same techniques as Dr. King. I went in for a visit and afterwards he said something like he was surprised I did so well considering

Dr. Shapiro and King Chiropractic have been fantastic!! They've listened to my symptoms, explained the causes, and set a course of treatment. I noticed a substantial difference in just a few visits and I now feel better than I've felt in at least a decade. My mobility has improved significantly, pain is nearly non-existent and I've been able to resume the active lifestyle I enjoy. I cannot complement them enough on their first class team and their first class care!

Suffering with a sharp pain in and under my shoulder blade area, I decided to go to Dr. Shapiro. (I have always walked out of his office 100% better.) Only this pain was a soft tissue (muscle) problem. He has continued to work with me on this and I can say happily that it is 75% better. His staff are so friendly, and his treatments are painless. I would never go anywhere else for treament.
I remember not long ago my husband was in a car accident, it left him unable to walk, without assistance. I took him to Dr. Shapiro. Within a couple of weeks, he was back to work and doing everything he loves

I was a little nervous about going to a new Chiropractor when I moved from out of the area. I had previously gone to the same chiropractor my whole life, but this office came highly recommended by friends and co-workers. Dr. Shapiro seems very knowledgeable in his field and really takes the time to figure out what is best for each patient. I received a combination of the traditional spinal manipulation I was used to, in addition to the use of a drop table, which was new to me. Their office is pretty centrally located in Eureka. It's not far from my home, which makes it convenient for me, and

I have nothing but positive things to say about King Chiropractic. Dr. Shapiro does muscle testing and takes the whole body into account in his non force adjusting. I have had such success after years of suffering with back pain. The office is clean, friendly and very professional.
