Denver Back Pain Health Center

“I suffered an injury to my lower back and neck from long-distance running in the late 1970’s. I wore down the disks, and my back steadily declined. I could not even walk without great pain and even then slowly.

A friend suggested that I visit Dr. Visentin for an evaluation. He found that my condition was approaching its worst point. The lower vertebrae were growing together.

After almost a year of being under his very professional and caring treatment, I can readily say my back is not a problem! Before it was always a constant “in the background pain and annoyance” and sometimes a big pain and discomfort. I thank God and Dr. V. – Reuben D.

The above is one of the many testimonials we have received from patients suffering from lower back pain.

Our care has helped so many people for over two decades we often wonder why people wait to get help. In most instances there is no good reason to stay home and suffer with lower back pain. Call (303) 394-CARE (2273), mention this article for a FREE exam.

Many times we receive letters from grateful patients about their results at our center. Often times they’ve been elsewhere, and are amazed that they can get well naturally without drugs and surgery. Here is a letter from a woman who suffered severe lower back pain and sciatica until she found relief through our care.

“My martyrdom started in April when I tried to stand up from my bed and I couldn’t move because of an intense pain I felt in my right leg. I took different painkillers thinking that the pain would go away. I will never forget that day because I realized something was wrong. I couldn’t get off the bed. I couldn’t sit down, or stand up or walk without limping. It was horrible. The pain was so excruciating that my life started to change. If it weren’t for the help of my family, I wouldn’t have been able to dress, or even tie my shoes!

I visited my medical doctor. He diagnosed a herniated L4-5 and L5-SI disc and right sciatica leg pain. “Two black discs” were causing the horrible pain in my leg. I still do not know how this happened because I never lifted anything heavy, nor had I fallen or had an accident, it was just there! I was limping all the time. My doctor gave me prescription drugs and after three weeks he recommended physical therapy. I know the drugs did give some relief, however, they did not take care of the problem. Physical therapy gave me relief for few days after being in it for one month. The possibility of surgery was mentioned to me and I was very concerned about getting cut up.

My medical doctor still does not know of my chiropractic care, but I am convinced that it has helped and made it possible to have my life back without drugs. I began the treatments in June and wondered if it would be beneficial. The first sign of help from care, was that my pain practically left. I can only praise the Lord that this unexpected help has been received, because I didn’t know that chiropractic was an option for me until I met you, Dr. Visentin.

You are truly a ministry to people. God is using you for healing. My family and I admire your work . May God increase your wisdom, strength, and anointing.” – R. Gutierrez

1. Practice good posture – One of the most basic ways to decrease the likelihood of your low back pain from coming back is simply by training your muscles in good posture. This gives your spine the most balance and strongest foundation against gravity so that you have less compensation in your muscles and decreased degeneration in your spine. The easiest way to establish good posture is to stand with your back against a wall and your feet about 2-3 inches from the wall. Straighten up your spine so that your buttocks, shoulders, and head are all touching the wall. Make sure that your head is not tilted back, but rather retracted back to reach the wall. Stand in this posture for a few seconds and then without breaking it, in a relaxed way take a few steps off the wall while continuing to hold your correct posture. Practice this so that you no longer have to think about perfect posture, but that your body automatically holds it over time.
2. Strengthen your core – You have tiny muscles all the way up your spine on and around each spinal vertebra. These small muscles are used for stabilizing your spine. When you have chronic low back pain, oftentimes these muscles are …Continue Reading

“Before I came here, I was having severe pain in my lower back and legs. I did some work outside in the snow and developed back pain. It was so bad, I had to take time off of work because I couldn’t bend or walk upright. After my first visit, the pain diminished 90%. I continued coming on a weekly basis and gradually got better. It’s been about two months now and I have just a back ache once in awhile. The technique Dr. Visentin used worked wonders for me. Thank you very much, I appreciate it.” – Mario A.

In our Denver Back Pain Health Center we see a lot of patients with chronic low back pain which develops over time, and therefore may take a significant time to resolve entirely. In recent research, chronic low back pain has been redefined as a problem with intermittent exacerbations, rather than an acute disease that can be cured. One of the reasons for this is that when you start to develop pain, there are already structural and functional changes that have taken place in your spine, both mechanically and neurologically. Your pain symptoms are usually the last things to show up as a way of your body telling you it is time to make a change. The structural changes in your spine can include bony remodeling, degeneration of your joints, and decreased space in your spinal canal, where your spinal cord sits. These changes are all in response to physical stress, like a misalignment of your vertebrae and happen over time. Functional changes can include adaptations to new postures, muscle firing imbalances, or muscle spasms.

Structural and functional changes in your spine can have a large impact on your overall health and even your mental stress level. However, there is a way to prevent these changes from happening or improving function if they already have.

It’s humbling to receive thanks like this. Here is another letter from one of our many patients who experienced dramatic relief from serious pain.

Dear Dr. Visentin,
I can’t thank you enough for your dedication to those of us who experience body and back problems through accidents or just moving the wrong way. In my case, I got up off the couch and was instantly in severe pain. My only comparison would be that childbirth was worse.

You are so appreciated, and thank you doesn’t seem to be enough to express my gratitude. Though you came highly recommended by Dr. Hovey, the proof was how you enabled me to walk when I couldn’t, due to severe pain. You are a blessing to me and others who are blessed by your gift and skill. God bless you and all the works of your hands. Deuteronomy 2:7. -C. C.

Most every doctor knows there is a greater power at work when someone is healed. As doctors, we can never accept all the credit. Real healing comes about naturally when the body is in balance. I balance the body, and God does the healing, it’s that simple.

If your suffering, it’s because your body is out of balance. Call (303) 394-CARE (2273).

Everyday patients tell us how much better they feel with our care. Many times they also mention, how many other doctors they visited, and how much money they wasted.

Here is a letter from one of the thousands of people we’ve helped:

“My name is Alicia and I was in the Denver area with my husband while he was away on business. We started taking walks together and I started working out. Well, two days after a brief 45-minute workout, I started having very sharp pains down my right leg from my lower back. My lower back started hurting first, but the pain that was shooting down my right leg was unbearable. I could barely use the restroom or shower. I could not tie my shoes and every night I was sleepless. I took a cab to the emergency room and was given Motrin 800mg, Vicodin, and Percocet. I went to sleep, woke up the next morning and I could barely walk or get out of bed. I called the emergency room doctors and I was advised to come back in. I was trying to get ready, all I could do was vomit all over the place. I went back to the emergency room and I was immediately seen by a physician. He took blood, and gave me I.V.’s. He sent me home with more percocet. The next day I could not sleep and was in pain again. As I was watching television I saw Dr. V.’s TV. program. I took the number down and called that morning and was seen the same day. I went in limping on one leg and crying because of my pain. When Dr. V. examined me and did his magic on my back and right leg, I felt so much better. The pain eased and the tears began to dry. He talked me through everything that he was doing. He was very gentle and effective. On my second visit Dr. V. and his staff were amazing, warm, and very professional. I love when a doctor has a good bedside manner and a staff genuinely loves their jobs. Everyone greets you with a smile and they are concerned when you are in pain. His prices are reasonable, but you really can’t put a price on being pain free and healed. Thanks Dr. V. for all of your help. Thanks also to your staff, they are wonderful.” – Alicia C.

After seeing so many people recover from excruciating low back pain and sciatica, we wonder why people hesitate to come see us. What we do works and insurance pays.

If you’ve been everywhere else, and tried everything else, DON’T GIVE UP HOPE. Pick up your phone and call, (303) 394-CARE (2273). You have nothing to lose. If we cannot help you, we will tell you so.

1. “You’ll just have to learn to live with it.”  If you’ve heard those words, you probably have not been to a chiropractor.
2. “Use a heating pad.”  This will probably make it worse in the long run.
3. “Rest in bed.”  Scientists say that this is not a good idea for most lower back conditions.
4. “Chiropractic is dangerous.”  Just the opposite is true; chiropractic care is safer than aspirin.
5. “See your medical doctor first, he’s most qualified to help you.”  In most instances this is just not true.  Doctors of chiropractic get more hours of anatomy and radiology of the spine than ordinary doctors.
6. “There’s not much that can be done.”  There is a lot that can and should be done right away.  The longer you wait, the harder it may be to care for you.
7. “Once you see the chiropractor, you’ll have to keep going.”  This is not true.  Many people choose chiropractic as part of a natural healthy lifestyle, but it can be discontinued at any time.  Unlike medicines, chiropractic has no side effects like addiction.
8. “Just wait until it goes away.”   Waiting for your low back pain to magically “go away” may be dangerous.
9. “I was told that I would need surgery. They say it’s a disc problem and there’s nothing else that can be done.”  The best surgeons recommend conservative care, like chiropractic.  Once surgery is done, the results may not be good.
10. “I’m just having the normal back pain.”  Living in denial about a potentially serious health problem is absolutely the biggest lie of all.  Don’t be deluded, call (303) 394-CARE (2273) and let’s talk about it.  Mention this article and you’ll receive a free examination without obligation in my east Denver clinic.

For back pain that feels sharp, shooting, hot, peircing, electric or severe, try using ice.

• Use ice 5-20 minutes three times a day.
• Never place ice directly on the skin.
• Use a wet towel between the ice and the skin, especially with sensitive skin.
