Back in early March I wrote an article on what is the best exercise. You can see it HERE. Today I came across another article in the New York Times on the exact same topic. You can read it HERE. The article in the Times is very good and if you are looking for some ideas for exercise this will be a big help! Let me know what you think!

Dave Limone21:33 23 Aug 18My wife has been seeing Dr. Kilcup for almost a year and he has been able to help us resolve issues that she has been struggling with for years and who no other doctor was able to help her with. When I started having acute back pain, my wife insisted that I go see Dr. Kilcup. I was resistant and wanted to go see someone closer at first, but she convinced me that he was the best and I am so glad that she did. I have been receiving chiropractic care from Dr. K and he has helped me so much getting my upper back/neck, middle back, and lower back in alignment. He identified issues that I had none known about but explained the pain and stiffness I was having. I am down to monthly treatments with him and would recommend that anyone with back or neck issues goes in to see him for an evaluation and adjustments. In fact, I just sent my brother who is also having back issues to see Dr. K. and it has been helping him too. A great chiropractor.read more

Great office!read more
Brianna Dazzo16:20 15 May 18We are so thankful to have found Dr. Kilcup for our two girls. My youngest has been battling GI issues since she was three months old after a week long stay in the hospital. We were seeing GI doctors, Neurologists, therapies, and were sent to Phoenix Children's for even more testings with no answers except for prescribed medicines at the end of it all. We were tired of medicine being thrown at her and decided we needed a different route, we knew there were other things going on that were being missed. Dr. Kilcup did some testing for both my girls and found underlying infections that other doctors refused to acknowledge or look into. We feel blessed to have answers going forward, and are excited to begin treatment using natural solutions that don't cause other symptoms throughout the body. Dr. Kilcup is so patient and unlike any other doctor we have seen. Willing to answer questions and open to communication all throughout treatment. Its definitely reassuring, knowing we have him working for the good of our children.read more
Kristin Grunert02:52 19 Apr 18I would say that meeting with Dr. Kilcup has been nothing but a great experience. He is amazing with my 6 month old son and helped me to identify issues with my back that I didn’t even know existed. I had gone in for an adjustment and couldn’t even get that done because my back was so tight. He referred me to his daughter, Bethany Kilcup, who is an amazing massage therapist, to help loosen up my back and massage out all my knots. With their help I have felt a lot better!read more
Scott Shaeffer02:45 18 Mar 18I saw Bethany for a massage could barely turn my head, and my jaw has been really tight. She did a great job loosing me up gave me great relief. Thank you very much!read more
Carmin Schiefer20:46 16 Mar 18Dr. Kilcup and his staff are some of the best I've come across in the heathcare business. I have been in and out of doctor offices my entire life with nothing to show for it. He doesn't just talk to you about what is going on. He listens, answers every question, is available at any time to anwers forgotten questions and WANTS to get to the bottom of your illness. I am at the beginning stages of treatment but this journey so far with him and his staff has been a breath of fresh air. It's nice to get treated finally..especially by someone who shows that your individual care is the utmost importance to him.read more
Kimberly Ortega01:57 15 Mar 18I have been treated by Dr. Kilcup for over 25 years. 20 years ago I was in a serious car accident. I had multiple broken bones. with Dr. Kilcup"s help I walk unassisted. For the last year or so I have been receiving massages from Bethany prior to my appointment with the Doctor and I feel so much better after treatment. I thank God that I am able to receive the kind of loving care from Dr. K and his staff. Thank you.read more
James Corradi20:03 21 Feb 18Dr. Kilcup's compassionate and gentle nature along with his professionalism and technical skills create a positive experience for the client each and every encounter! My areas of concern are always attended to with immediate pain relief to the affected areas. The office staff is always friendly and supportive to the client's needs. Thank you Dr. Kilcup and staff!!read more
Carrie Bevans19:44 21 Feb 18I have been going to Dr. Kilcup for about 10 years. He is very invested in his patients and getting to the root of the problem. He is very knowledgeable in a wide range of functional medicine. I have also had a handful of massages from Bethany and she is great!read more
Kyle Bennett16:41 14 Feb 18Dr. Kilcup has been an answer to our prayers! I've been battling chronic illness for years, and have worked with several doctors who were not able to get to the root of my issues. After working with Dr. Kilcup for a couple of months, I am confident that I am on the right track. He is the first person to recommend such a thorough battery of testing, which revealed an underlying infection that I've never known about! Dr. Kilcup recommended a treatment plan based on the results of my tests, and my symptoms have been improving dramatically. Dr. Kilcup asserts that he will leave no stone unturned to get to the bottom of your health problems. He also states that he will treat you as he would like his doctor to treat him. I believe it! He is very attentive, responds promptly to my questions, and is willing to listen to my concerns - with no pride or criticism in his tone. I am so very thankful to have found Dr. Kilcup, and I wholeheartedly recommend his services.read more
Rebecca Nevius20:12 29 Jan 18We bring our entire family here! Dr. Kilcup is amazing and I especially appreciated his care during my last two pregnancies. Highly recommend.read more
Haley Backus17:29 16 Jan 18Dr. Kilcup is an excellent choice for anyone who is struggling and has had a hard time getting help elsewhere. I am so glad that I chose to go see him after several months of working with MD's and getting no answers about my symptoms. As soon as Dr. Kilcup heard all of my symptoms, he immediately had possible answers and steps for us to take to improve my health. He is very kind and caring. And being as shy as I am, I actually felt very comfortable with him and was able to open up about my situation. I cannot wait to move forward with Dr. Kilcup so that I can finally see the results I have been searching for!read more
Gary Bryan03:23 13 Jan 18My appointment with Dr. Kilcup was excellent. I was able to schedule online at my convenience. I was seen promptly. The doctor took care of my ache and pains and was sensitive to my hurting spots.read more
Barbara Henning19:25 05 Jan 185/5 enuf said. Always exceptional service. Always leave much better than when I arrived.
Annem Bielecki23:55 01 Dec 17This is the best Chiropractor office I have found in the Phoenix area. Dr. Kilcup is never in a hurry, always takes time to listen to my concerns. Bethany, the massage therapist is excellent. She really works hard to get all my knots out. Dr. Kilcup and Bethany are a great team. I highly recommend this office.read more
Brooklyn Peterson01:00 02 Nov 17I love getting massages here! Bethany does such a great job and helps my pain. As someone who experiences a lot of jaw pain due to my TMJ, my massages help relax all of those muscles. So thankful for this practice! All are friendly and enjoyable to be treated by!read more
Rhonda Vogt16:49 19 Oct 17Dr. Kilcup is a doctor who truly wants to get to the root of your health problems, not just treat your symptoms. I have been an unintentionally "difficult" patient for him, not always responding to treatments as expected. But he doesn't give up. If he doesn't know the answer, he contacts other professionals who may have other options to try. I have always been very impressed with his knowledge, compassion and determination on my behalf. He is a special gift from God in my life. -Rhonda Vogtread more
Rebecca Martin14:41 19 Oct 17Honestly, I wish I could give more than the standard five stars. Let me explain. For almost a year and a half, my husband and I watched our eldest daughter's health deteriorate. At age 20 she was bed-ridden with horrid headaches and a multitude of other mysterious symptoms. We were seen by the best of the best at a very prestigious hospital, yet the answers we were getting just didn't seem to give the whole picture...or worse, a plan for treatment and wellness. She was suffering from debilitating headaches from her brain stem swelling, horrid breathing problems, loss of normal vision, muscle aches that made her body feel on fire, nausea, problems swallowing...this was just the short list. A close family friend suggested Dr. Kilcup to us, and we decided to take the opportunity to see what he might find that the "best of the best" could not. And after massive testing (not guesswork) we arrived at some very crucial definitive answers. Not only did our daughter have a genetic mutation that did not allow her to properly detoxify, but she was suffering from Lyme's disease. The culprit that more than likely was attacking our daughter's brain, and causing the swelling...along with all her other horrible symptoms. I noticed that reading through some of the other reviews that cost is an issue. And this is how I would answer those with a critical vantage point of the "cost". Yes, it costs money to find answers...medically sound answers. Everything good comes with a cost. But the benefit far outweighs the cost when it comes to a healthy body and mind. Functional medicine dares to go outside of the realm of conventional medicine and not only looks for disease or pathology, but for dysfunction. Functional medicine found solid medical answers (not guesses) as to what was plaguing our daughter's life. Now, with answers, can then come a treatment plan. Is the fix quick? For our daughter? No. That is an honest and realistic answer. But that is not a negative answer. Our daughter is fighting a very complex and horrid disease, and given that we live in an instant gratification society where everything must be solved or cured within the realm of a 30 minute sitcom...that's just not a realistic vantage point. Her disease didn't grow overnight...so the "fix" realistically can't be expected to come overnight. But this is what I can tell you...our daughter, 5 months into her treatment plan (with tweaking of the plan along the way) is starting to see a light at the end of her very long, and very painful tunnel. Through discipline in sticking to her supplements and a healthy eating plan, she is seeing relief. Dr. Kilcup is a man of high integrity and humility who goes way beyond the standard doctor/patient protocol. Attentiveness to detail, unending compassion towards the patient who is walking the hard and painful road, and astuteness of medical knowledge are just the tip of the iceberg in beginning to describe Dr. K. We're in it for the long haul with our daughter in trying to help get her life back...and thank the Lord, Dr Kilcup, we know without a doubt, will be walking right with us. The "cost" of not going to Dr K, as I look back, is far too great to even consider as I remember the months and months of our precious daughter too ill to get out of bed. As my husband continues to say..."the right time in medical advancements...and the right doctor." That's Dr. K.read more
Lynda Sims06:02 16 Sep 17The personal interest and care given by everyone at Dr. Kilcup's office is, in my opinion, exceptional. From Bethany's relaxing massages, to Darrell's expert and professional chiropractic adjustments, as well as Taylor's pleasant voice, accurate accounting, and accommodating scheduling of appointments, I feel not only like a valued and appreciated client, but also a friend. Ellie does a great job at helping in the office whenever she's needed. That's what keeps me returning as often as I can.read more
Courtney Robinson23:02 13 Sep 17My children and I were in a horrible car accident that completely totaled our car. We were all having continued pain and my son was having excruciating headaches. Dr. Kilcup returned my call from his emergency call line before we were even official patients of his when I was on the verge of heading back to the ER with my son. I am so grateful for their continued care of all three of us and I am sure we would not have healed properly without his expertise. In addition to Dr. Kilcup's proficiency in his practice, he and his staff are of excellent integrity, outstanding customer service, and genuine concern.read more
Adrienne Cardy17:08 13 Sep 17I have been treated by Dr. Kilcup for many years now for back pain. My pain isn't constant - it just flares up every so often and I go in for an adjustment. Sometimes it just takes one adjustment, sometimes a few, but Dr. Kilcup never fails to fix the problem. He also doesn't pressure me to have continual adjustments after the problem is fixed or to have treatments I don't need. He is honest, ethical, caring, sincere, professional, and the answer to my back problems. The office is pleasant, the staff is exceptionally kind, polite, caring and efficient. His masseuse, Bethany, is the same - a real pro at massage. I can't recommend North Glen Chiropractic highly enough.read more
jada sarfate19:53 07 Aug 17I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Kilcup and his staff. I"ve never met a doctor that cares for his patients the way he does. He truly loves his work and his patients. He responds quickly to my concerns and the staff is quick to get things done. His knowledge about the body and disease surpasses many doctors and I've seen a ton of "top doctors" all over the U.S. He's a really good investigator and will not give up finding the root causes of what ails you. We need more doctors like Dr. Kilcup!read more
Tim Schweitzer06:15 01 Aug 17I have been dealing with a lot of health issues (upper GI pain, GERD, extreme exhaustion, and a great deal of depression) for the last 5 years. I have had no answers from traditional medicine. I always came back as “normal” with just another pill to take which always seemed to be a complete guess on the traditional Doctors side, always leaving me in despair. Needless to say there is NO GUESSING with Dr. Kilcup. He tests every fluid your body makes and lets those results dictate his plan of action and care. He does not give you something unless you actually need it. I am about 3 months into my care. I have seen life changing results. For once I feel as though I have my life back. I am now able to have 3 meals a day without upper GI pain. I have been able to run around with my kids (and have the desire to do so!). I am no longer flustered and frustrated at simple tasks but I am finding joy in the simple things again. I really could go on and on about Dr. Kilcup and his facilities. But what matters is that this man, his employees, and his methods have changed my life, and given me hope for a recovery. I simply cannot wait to see what 6 months has in store for me as I stick to the diet and his recommendations. If your fed up with not getting answers from doctors and feeling “unheard” by them, then I suggest getting in contact with Dr. Kilcup. It was the first time in 5 years that I had the reason WHY I was feeling the way I was, my test results spoke for themselves, while the results of his treatment are showing a steady trend to me feeling better.read more
Hannah Shea13:50 19 Apr 17Dr Kilcup is the doctor I have been looking for for years. I've had strange, niggling health issues that most doctors overlooked or played down for quite a while. Dr Kilcup listened to all my concerns and came up with a comprehensive plan for testing my body systems to see what exactly is going on in my body. I can't say how grateful I am for this approach! The tests we ran came back with unexpected results and guided our treatment plan. I am so happy to no longer be playing the guessing game with my health and can't stress enough how grateful I am to have crossed paths with Dr. Kilcup. He is an exceptionally kind, intelligent, thoughtful, and genuine man who always makes me feel like I am his #1 priority during our appointments. Dr. Kilcup has been flexible in working with me as I moved to another state and now am moving to another country. He is going above and beyond with helping me to figure out the logistics of continuing with treatment while overseas - something I am immensely grateful for. To find a doctor like this after a lifetime of lightning quick 10 minute Dr appointments where they basically just look at you and leave has been a life changer for me. I have so much faith in the Functional Medicine approach and am confident that (thanks to Dr Kilcup) I am now on a clear cut path to wellness and vitality. I strongly recommend Dr Kilcup to anyone and everyone looking to finally take charge of their health.read more
Megan Miller16:30 18 Apr 17I am so grateful for how efficient and caring Dr. Kilcup took my case. I back to full health and could not be more pleased. Thank you Dr. Kilcup for everything!read more
Todd Robertson16:06 01 Mar 17I have now been going to Dr. Kilcup's office for 4 months. I had terrible back pain that was limiting all aspects of my life. I saw doctors, had x-rays and even an MRI...my primary physician said I had "undiagnosable lower back pain" which meant sorry I can't help you. However, Dr. Kilcup said "if you are experiencing pain there much be a problem and with a problem there will be a solution, so let's figure it out." And that he did! I am a work in progress but my back has gone from a 7-8 pain level to a 1 or 2. I am so grateful for him and his staff. Wonderful people! I highly recommend Dr. Darrell Kilcup.read more
Deborah Mehan23:02 28 Feb 17I have been seeing Dr. Kilcup and Bethany since November for injuries from a car accident. I have been to at least 5 other chiropractors in my life, but there is no comparison. He takes time and care in adjustments. They are thorough and most of all, helpful. Bethany is an exceptional massage therapist! I leave feeling such relief every time. Even though being in an accident was a negative, being referred to Dr. Kilcup and Bethany has been a blessing!😎 read more The Latest Articles

Nice website. I’ve enjoyed checking it out. Good job.
Aaron
Thanks Aaron! Very kind of you to say so. Things are just bear bones so now the process of putting some meat on the bones! I did want to just slap something together just so it was there. As I add new information I really want it to be meaningful, helpful and significant. I would love to write about anything you are interested in. Let me know! If you haven’t get on the email list. I did a lot of work to make it quality. Every time I write you will get a quality email about it.
