I've suffered with low back pain for years. I lived an active life of outdoor sports and spent 15 years in the Army Infantry, so my back has taken a bit of abuse over the years. Now 41, I found myself really struggling to enjoy many of the things I love to do because I would always end up in severe pain after even moderate activity.
I had seen other chiropractors in the past, but never was able to get anything more than temporary relief. I always felt like Chiropractic care was just something to keep me moving...but not something that could really "fix" me. That all changed when I found the team at Align. Finding Dr. Lenny and his team has got me feeling the best I've felt in 15 years!
From the first consult visit with Dr. Lenny I knew this was going to be different. He took the time to really do a thorough evaluation of my issues, then developed a plan to fix me long term. He explained everything in depth and was very professional! He laid out a plan of what I needed to do to regain my spine health and get back to the active life I was used to living.
After several sessions with him and several adjustments, he turned me over to Cordelia to start a rehab training plan to gain strength, stabilization, and flexibility. After conducting the Functional Movement Screening (Highly recommended!) they put together a plan to target my problem areas.
Cordelia was fantastic! High energy, very friendly and very professional! She explained the purpose of the different exercises and how they would help me achieve my goals. She wasn't pushy, but encouraged me to work hard. She was a stickler for form and technique when doing the different exercises, emphasizing the importance of proper form to prevent injury. Even though I sometimes struggled to do them correctly she never lost patience and was always supportive. I saw results within a few weeks, and after 6 weeks of working out with her I had the confidence that I could get back to working out on my own without re-injuring my back.
Shawna (massage therapist) was great too. She fit me in when she had gaps in her schedule to give me a 30 minute focused deep tissue massage which really helped loosen up my lower back after going through a workout with Cordelia.
Align Chiropractic is truly a Team of professionals focused getting to the root of your problems and doing what it takes to help you regain your health and fitness.
I'm now back to working out on my own, mountain biking again, and training for a wilderness backpacking adventure in the Rocky Mountains this fall. I'd never have been able to get back to this level of fitness without Dr. Lenny, Cordelia, and Shawna.
