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)

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.

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.

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

Regardless how badly you hurt, there is always hope. Even people who can hardly move, get amazing results with the advanced methodology we use at our center.

“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.
