SLIPPED DISC?

Monday, November 29th, 2010

Care ChiropracticIt’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 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).

DO YOU HAVE NUMBNESS OR TINGLING IN YOUR LEGS?

Monday, November 8th, 2010

Care ChiropracticSerious 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

Many times people come to us and wonder when their pain will stop. We remind them that unless they remove the cause of their pain, it may never go away.

If you have radiations of numbness, tingling, shooting pains, crawling sensations or burning sensations down the legs or into the groin don’t wait. Waiting can be dangerous. Call our center now (303) 394-CARE (2273). Let’s find out what’s causing your problem and do something about it.

Can’t Work Due To Back Pain?

Monday, October 4th, 2010

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.

DENVER LOW BACK PAIN

Tuesday, September 21st, 2010

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.

If you want to reach more of your potential and stay active call (303) 394-CARE (2273). Call now for a FREE examination without obligation.

Denver Slipped Disc

Monday, July 12th, 2010

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).
