Debra Anderson

When I first came into Longmont Spine Center, I was having severe headaches, 1-2 a month, lasting 2-3 days. The pain was keeping me from having fun, exercising and work. Additionally, I would have occasional lower back pain shooting down into my left leg.

Since I have begun treatment, I have not had a severe headache. I no longer take Excedrin migraine or PM. Before treatment, I was taking PM medication nightly for sleep and Excedrin migraine for the monthly headaches. Because my headaches have gone away, I have been able to do a lot more. I was surprised when shortly after treatment I was able to sleep without medication and the occasional back pains have not returned. I have become more aware and educated about my posture, diet and exercise.

My life has been a lot less stressful. No longer having to worry if I will be getting a headache gives me peace of mind. Knowing I can attend and participate in activities without the worry of a crippling headache is Absolutely Wonderful!

I always knew posture was important but no one ever told me what needed to be done to improve it. With the education and treatment I received I feel taller and stronger. There was a noticeable improvement in my posture after only one month.

A short time with the Doctor Steve’s can bring you a Life Time of Health. They helped me with my pain immediately. They also corrected potential problems that weren’t causing pain yet. I learned how to stay healthy.

I was in a lot of pain and couldn’t function well at all. I needed to make a change for my health’s sake. I hadn’t worked for over a year. Longmont Spine Center changed my whole life and freed me from the bondage of pain I was in. Now I can work again, relax better, sleep better and have more fun in life.

Mary Allen

I was hurting all over. Now I’m walking better and I quit smoking! All others said they couldn’t do anything for me.

My experience at the Longmont Spine center has been wonderful. Dr. O and Dr. J were very gentle and caring, very knowledgeable about all of my problems. My dream came true! I can now do things with my grandchildren and others. Dr. O and Dr. J listen to your concerns and then fix them. They’re the best! Both Drs. gave me a reason to live a fulfilling life. I am a new woman now. I have a purpose now. I can do things now that before was a dream.

After having two back surgeries in a twenty-five year period; being told by neurosurgeons that I needed another, more invasive surgery that would only last six years, and receiving a series of cortical steroid injections, taking a strong regimen of pain medications; I was willing to explore any and all alternatives.

My experience at the Longmont Spine Center was enlightening. Drs Joseph and O’Dell analyzed my complete spine – not just the area the neurosurgeons were concerned with. I was educated regarding the cause of the problem – not just the cause of the pain. I felt informed and able to assist with the treatments with definite goals in mind. All of the personnel are very professional yet friendly and helpful.

At first I was skeptical but that didn’t last long. The atmosphere, staff and patients have all combined to make it a very enjoyable experience. I never thought I would look forward to going to a doctor’s visit.

Not only was the overall service excellent but also the education was impressive. I’ve always felt that I was pretty savvy when it came to exercise and nutrition, and really didn’t expect to hear anything new. I was wrong. I’ve been impressed by the education I received from both Dr. O’Dell and Dr. Joseph. Based on their advice and counsel I have changed my diet and my exercise routine and my work area, all for the better.

My quality of my life has improved tremendously. Before I started going to the Longmont Spine Center I hadn’t had a decent night’s sleep in a very long time. I would wake up repeatedly throughout the night with back pain and by morning couldn’t stand to be in bed anymore. In addition to that I was having allergy problems. My nose was stuffing up, I was snoring and my primary care physician wanted to put me on blood pressure medication. I was on my fourth mattress trying to find some way to be comfortable and sleep through the night.

As it turns out the mattress wasn’t the problem. It was my back! Now I am sleeping through the night. I’m not in pain when I get up in the morning. My wife tells me that I haven’t been snoring, I haven’t taken any medication for my allergies in weeks and my blood pressure is down in the normal range!! I can even put in a full day’s work in front of my computer without being pain after a few hours. It’s amazing how a decent night’s sleep will improve your life. I feel 15 years younger!

As an added bonus, my sports performance has improved! The increased strength and flexibility have allowed me to do things like I was used to when I was younger. It’s really great!

If you are considering treatment at the Longmont Spine Center, it may very well be the smartest thing you ever do! I found the doctors to be honest, open and genuinely concerned with what’s best for me. And I don’t say that about many people.

In the 2 ½ years of being in pain and taking care of my wife before she died we had talked about having my back worked on but no guarantee after surgery. I couldn’t take the pain anymore. I had to do something. I saw the ad and decided to give it a shot. Best decision I have ever made.

My experience had been nothing but the best. The doctors are caring and considerate of your feelings. This was a very life saving experience. I can now sleep all night in considerable comfort. Very little pain. I learned what I needed to do to make things right.

Come join the fun. The Doctors are great. If they can’t make things right then no one can.

Danette Livadney

Initially, I was experiencing pain in my left shoulder and shoulder blade due to tightness in my neck muscles, which several muscular therapy treatments did not alleviate. After x-rays revealed the condition of forward head posture (FHP), the reason for the tightness in the neck muscles became apparent. Furthermore, upon discovering my FHP, the reason for the many long years of migraine headaches from which I had suffered became obvious.

From the moment when I first walked through the door and Carla, the receptionist, warmly greeted my husband and I, I have had a positive experience at LSC. Both doctors are extremely caring, knowledgeable, and explain everything involved in each patient’s treatment. They are ready to answer any question and most often, through their detailed descriptions of the body functions and what each particular treatment will do to improve certain conditions, have already answered questions that haven’t yet been asked.

I have had headaches for almost all of my adult life. Over the years their frequency increased. For the first time in a very long time, I am living without the anticipation of headache pain. As a result of the positive outcome from the CBP treatments, along with regular at-home maintenance, I am excited that I can now live a virtually pain-free life, for which I have LSC to thank.

This office is a rare find. Coming here is a bright spot in my day. The atmosphere is warm and positive. Regardless of how busy, they always provide personal care and attention. More important, the CBP method of treatment, unlike any other chiropractic care I have received, is the answer to a life of pain.

I have had dizzy spells since December of 2006. It was severe at the onset and was diagnosed as Bilateral Proximal Positional Vertigo (BPPV) by an ENT. I received 18 treatments (Epley Maneuvers) without much relief. The dizziness continued. I was examined and treated by a traditional chiropractor in August 2007. He did adjustments and acupuncture. After 5 sessions he said he couldn’t help me with the dizzy spells.

In December 2007, I was examined for a study on BPPV at University Hospital and was told I didn’t have vertigo! Hearing tests indicated that, probably due to an infection, the balance area of my left ear had been damaged and was 100% ineffective. I continued to have dizziness, not as extreme, but constant, daily episodes.

After about three weeks of treatment began for sciatic pain, I am no longer experiencing dizziness – something I had accepted as a permanent condition. My hip and back pain is much better and I am sure that the cause will be corrected.

I have basically been in lower back pain and major neck pain for the past 5 years due to being in three care rear-end accidents. I experience severe coughing, stress, etc. I have been coming to Longmont Spine Center for one month now and I am 97% pain free. I have energy again, walking a mile a day and can move my neck like never before! I feel great, most importantly; I have hope that I’ll be able to live my life. Knowing my body is healing itself, not drugs. I will be able to do all I want to do. Dr. Joseph and Dr. O’Dell are the best in explaining to me how I got “this way” and what is needed for my body to heal itself. I can say that this is the best experience “medically” I’ve ever had!
