I was very skeptical about seeing a chiropractor due to the professions reputation of quick fixes using adjustments, but Dr. Tran had a mindset far from a traditional chiropractor as his emphasis was in physical rehabilitation. He explained how depending on the health condition, adjustments may only provide temporary relief and possibly cause more detriments to the healing process. He further explained in detail that what the majority of population really needs is a movement based rehabilitation regime with occasional adjustments ONLY if it's INDICATED within their health condition.
I went to him after a knee injury (a dislocated knee) from an outdoor climbing trip. He was very knowledgeable and thorough when reading my MRI images; I've never had a doctor walk me through my own images in a language I can actually understand. He created a rehabilitation regime tailored specifically for my needs and sent me home with exercises I could do on my own. Not once did he adjust me. Its been a year and I haven't experienced any pain. I've been able to climb and run again pain-free (:

I can't thank him enough for his time with me!
