Denver Back Pain Health Center

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.

The sciatic nerve is the longest and largest nerve in the body. When it’s irritated it can cause horrible pain. This article concerns the symptoms that characterize this all to common cause of leg pain, sciatica.

o Burning,
o Sharp,
o Pins and needles,
o Knife like,
o Tingling,
o Prickly,
o Crawling,
o Tender, or
o Numbness.

The pain can start in the back and radiate all the way to the toes. It can also affect a particular part of the leg or back depending on the individual.

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.

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.

Thank you for all the time and effort you put into fixing my right leg. I’m so fortunate to know someone as talented and caring as you. I will always remember what you have done for me. Your kindness to me is humbling. You give so much. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

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

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.

I was impressed with Virginia, your receptionist, who heard the pain in my voice and had me come in immediately. It was a miracle to be able to get an appointment at the height of my pain.
I hobbled in and with your blessed hands and skills, I walked out of the office and was able to celebrate my birthday.

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.
