Denver Back Pain Health Center

Most people try to hide the symptoms of sciatica with drugs that have side effects. When the drugs don’t work, they seek surgery, but many times surgery has disastrous outcomes.

Patients at our center are experiencing dramatic and consistent relief using safe and gentle techniques that eliminate the most common cause of sciatica.

The most common cause of sciatica is a bone out of alignment in the lower back. Scientists and doctors call this condition “vertebral subluxation”.

Without proper care, sciatica has a tendency to get worse. Eventually, it can lead to atrophy of the muscles, (muscle shrinking) in the legs. In some cases left untreated, sciatica can lead to permanent nerve damage.

Is there a “cure” for your condition? You will never know unless you call. The examination is free when you mention this article. (303) 394-CARE (2273)

It’s easy to take our health for granted. We assume if we feel o.k. that we must be healthy, but this is terribly wrong! Read this story written by John, one of our many patients who thought he was “fine,” till he did something he does all the time and experienced excruciating pain.

“Hi, my name John K., and I am a firm believer in the benefits of chiropractic care. At the end of last year, I was ice-skating with my two sons. Two days later I was sitting in a chair when all of a sudden I had back pain so severe, I could barely get out of that chair. After two days of suffering, I finally went to see a chiropractor. After about five visits with Dr. Visentin, I was able to do all the things you take for granted. I was pain free and didn’t have to take painkillers or any medication. I continue to see Dr. V because he has really convinced me on the importance of being balanced. I will continue going to the chiropractor for life now. I am a believer and Dr. V always has a new outlook on health that is good for me and my family.” - John K.

John didn’t know it, but he had a discal problem in the lower back. After sitting for a while the disc swelled enough to put pressure on the delicate nerves in his back. Sitting tends to aggravate disc problems.

If you have back pain and wonder if it might be due to a slipped disc, call our center immediately. Waiting can be dangerous, and you have nothing to lose but your pain. If you call this week, we have a special on spinal discal examinations. If you mention this article, your exam is FREE. Call now (303) 394-CARE (2273).

Serious interference with the nerves that come from the lower back can trigger painful burning sensations in the legs. It can start as pain in only one leg and radiate all the way down to the foot. It can start and stop, get better and worse and generally make you miserable until you get real help. Read this clinical case history from one of our many gratified patients.

“Before I came here, I was having severe pain in my lower back and legs. I had done some work outside in the snow and developed this pain. It was so bad, I had to take time off of work because I couldn’t bend and walk upright. After my first visit the pain had diminished 90%. I continued coming on a weekly routine and gradually got better. It has been about two months now and I have just a backache once in a while. This technique and Dr. Visentin have done wonders for me. Thank you very much I appreciate it.” –M. Augustine

At our clinic we attract the hardest cases. Most of our patients have been everywhere else and tried everything else. Somehow they find the courage to attempt to regain their health just one more time. Read this dramatic case history.

“I suffered from severe back pain for four years. I was told there was nothing that could be done for me. When I first came to see Dr. Visentin I had a migraine that was so severe that I was nauseous. My doctors had refused to see me as of October and the pain was intolerable. Since I have been seeing Dr. Visentin I have experienced pain-free days, which I have not experienced in four years and the improvements has happened in just a few weeks. While other doctors have claimed that there was nothing they could do for me, Dr. Visentin has helped me. This is a breakthrough for me and I thank God for putting Dr. Visentin in my life. Thank You! -Sandra S.

Sandra is an amazing lady. In spite of enduring years of pain, she never gave up. She was willing to reach out for relief when most anyone else would have resigned themselves to a lifetime of suffering.

If you’re hurting and exhausted never, never, never, ever give up. Call (303) 394-CARE (2273). If we cannot help you, we will tell you so.

It’s scary when you can’t work due to back pain. We understand that at our clinic and offer emotional support as well as very effective care. Read this thank you note from one of our many grateful patients.
In February I hurt my back while lifting and twisting. My back had been progressively getting worse and it eventually got so bad, I couldn’t even get out of bed without assistance. When I went to this clinic for the first time, I was given encouragement. I really didn’t know if Dr. V. could help the way he said he could, but I knew I couldn’t stand the constant intense pain anymore. Within a month, the pain had subsided enough for me to function again, and I was thrilled. I have a physically demanding career that requires my body to be strong and healthy. I was starting to worry that I may not be able to return to work, but within a few months I was healthy, strong, and back to work! Thank you so much Dr. V. for not only taking away the pain but for your dedication and hard work in getting me healthy enough to go back to work. You’re my hero! – Judy R.

If you can’t function and you are scared, call our center now, (303) 394-CARE (2273) Mention this article for a FREE examination without obligation.

We take our spines for granted. Over our lifetimes we suffer:

- Slips
- Jerks
- Jolts
- Exertion and
- Lifting injuries.

It’s no wonder over 80% of adults experience severe low back pain at sometime. Read this testimonial about a very physical man who knows how good he can feel with the right care.

“Showing off my strength is how I grew up. My friends and I lifted cars to the curbs, moved big rocks, wrestled each other, etc. I’d do anything to show how strong I was. I never listened to teachers that told me to sit up straight either. At the age of 17, I began changing tires and later became an auto mechanic. Later in life, I tried roofing, tree trimming, moving furniture, and many other physically demanding jobs and tasks. My most recent occupation is selling tires, which is also very strenuous work. Because of all of this, I tore my body up. Back pain was a normal part of my life. You learn to live with it, and for years that is exactly what I did. I accepted it and lived with it. The pain intensified to unbearable at times and I knew that I was getting worse. My left leg started going numb because of the excruciating pain in the sciatic nerve. I watched Dr. Visentin on television for over a year before I decided to give him a try. The first time I went in for an adjustment, I walked out pain-free! I had suffered for years and suffered every day because I accepted the pain and didn’t realize, or believe, that it could be taken away so easily. Pain still comes and goes because of my occupation and I still do a lot of heavy lifting, twisting, and turning. The pain comes back, but when it does I just go in for an adjustment and walk out pain-free every time.” – Randall P.

Do you work hard and play harder? You owe it to yourself to get your spine checked. Make your back last a lifetime. If it’s out of alignment, it will tend to decay. This is called “premature arthritis” and is all too common in athletes who demand the most from their bodies and lives.

When dealing with chronic pain of any kind, there are various issues, both physical and mental, that each patient goes through. At the Denver Back Pain Health Center, we have found that depression is the one of the most common issues associated with chronic back pain. This type of depression is referred to as major or clinical depression.
Clinical depression can be debilitating if not treated. It is a few steps past “just feeling down.” If someone is suffering from major depression, they will experience at least five of the following symptoms daily for at least two weeks:
• Feelings of sadness, hopelessness or irritability that could also include crying
• Sleeping either too much or not enough
• Agitation (restlessness) or sluggishness (fatigue)
• Poor appetite combined with significant weight loss or increased appetite and weight gain
• Loss of interest in normal activities
• Decreased or no sex drive
• Feelings of guilt or worthlessness
• Lack of concentration or memory
• Thoughts of death, suicide, or wishing to be dead
According to the ACA (The American Chiropractic Association), depression is three to four times more prevalent in patients with chronic back pain. 62% of all patients that seek treatment at pain centers like the Denver Back Pain Health Center show some form of depression.
Generally, patients with chronic back pain problems will develop depression before patients with acute pain that is shorter in duration. The question of why, can best be understood by looking at symptoms usually experienced by patients with chronic back pain:
• Difficulty sleeping due to pain, causing irritability and fatigue during the day
• Movement is difficult or unbearable, causing social isolation
• Financial difficulties due to missed work and medical bills creating stress
• Side effects from medication could cause digestion issues and a feeling of mental dullness
• Pain can cause concentration and/or memory problems
• Sexual activity has completely disappeared, causing stress in the patient’s relationships
These symptoms when accompanied by chronic back pain create a snowball effect and feelings of despair and hopelessness increase.
How do we treat patients that are dealing with this? For Dr. Visentin D.C. and his staff at the Denver Back Pain Health Center, the first step is determining the cause of the pain. If the problem can be addressed, the pain will subside taking the symptoms of depression with it. When it is a case of chronic pain, these are ways a patient can try to keep depression from becoming an all-encompassing way of life:
· Patients must stay active. The type and the amount of activity is directed by Dr. Visentin, D.C. in order to make sure that these activities do not cause more harm.
· Relaxation techniques can assist a patient in coping with chronic pain.
· A patient should involve their family with their recovery. This prevents isolation and builds a tighter bond between the members involved.
If you are dealing with chronic back pain, Dr. Visentin, D.C. and the Denver Back Pain Health Center are here to help. Please contact us for a consultation (303) 394-CARE (2273).

“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.
