I first came into see Dr. Jensen, because of a pinched nerve on the left side of my leg, and constant ache in my lower back. I had increased my workouts to twice a day and was in the process of moving- and during this time I hurt myself.
Over the course of 4 years, I had seen 5 other chiropractors who were temps that came from an agency that worked for my previous boss while he was on vacation. So by the time, I came to Dr. Jensen's office I knew what type of chiropractic therapy that I was looking for.
Dr. Jensen continues to use advanced technology as part of his treatments. He knows and understands that chiropractor care is more than simply twisting and manipulating the body to regain proper alignment of the spine.
Finding a new chiropractor is not always easy, this is why I share my personal experiences with you, each chiropractor was very different and their approach. (As there over 100 techniques throughout the world.)
I know people are busy with all the other things in their lives and when they are in pain they don't want to spend a lot of time searching for a chiropractor.
Here are some of the experiences that I had:
1) One doctor who was in retirement age seemed hesitant to adjust me, so really he didn't do much except run his hand over my spine. When I walked out I thought "That's it?"
2) Another doctor, she did not have the physical strength to do the adjustment so she relied heavily on a device called the Activator, which reminded me of a staple gun; for me personally I like a physical adjustment, where the doctor adjusts my neck and spine.
3) Another doctor I saw had his office set up like an assembly line had the adjustment done within1-2 minutes and the chiropractor tables were out in the open where other patients could watch the adjustment.
Dr. Jensen when he first meets you, he takes x-rays so he can see what exactly is going on with your spine. My x-rays showed that I was in between spinal degeneration phases 2 and the beginnings of phase 3. There is nerve damage and with treatments, reversal is possible.
After my first visit I immediately started feeling relief. Dr. Jensen truly cares about his patients and is always up-beat and enthusiastic when you see him. It beams through him that he really loves what he does
As I was leaving, Katie, the chiropractic assistant gave me a folder with the stages of Spinal Degeneration Phase, the results of my exam, spinal exercises, the hours of the office and lots of helpful information that I can refer to at a moment's instance.
There are no appointments necessary when to you come to this office. Scheduling is very convenient and they are always prompt at getting me in. The clinic has a great vibe and all of the staff has been awesome!
The office is beautiful, relaxing, soothing and nurturing (to name just a few!) and you will always be welcomed with a huge smile! The waiting room is spacious, clean, lots of magazines to read, a flat screen TV. You sign your name at the front desk and chiro assistant will take you back to the massage/therapy room.
When you walk into the massage/therapy room, you have a choice of either a table or a chair- for about 15-20 minutes you allow your muscles to relax before you adjustment. There are other people in the room, the most 5 to 6 at a time; most always everyone who is in the room is respectful and quiet.
Before you massage ends, the chiro assistant will let you know which room you are to go for your adjustment, once you are there within a few minutes she gives you a hot pack for your lower back. The heat wrap restores the blood flow to the sore areas and relaxes your muscles for faster healing.
After your adjustment, the chiro assistant takes you into another room for electrical stimulation therapy; this technique is often used in the sports industry. This machine is used to relieve inflamed muscles and nerves. It helps retrain the muscles and stimulates them to their regular function. This therapy works by stimulating the muscles with a mild electrical current. The electrodes are first placed at the appropriate points on your skin, the settings are low and until you are comfortable with the machine. After being on this for 5-10 minutes, the pleasant sensation block's the brain's ability to sense pain. I work in the San Fernando area, but live in Camarillo. I am not able to see him that often, maybe once a month, I have noticed my stress level has lowered drastically, as well as have felt so much healthier and full of vitality.
For most people, it's important to feel comfortable with the chiropractor and the office staff. Feeling comfortable can depend on various personal preferences; including details as to how long a patient waits to see the doctor, where the office located, office hours, etc.
I completely, 100% recommend Jensen Walk in Chiropractic to anyone!! read more
