Chronic pain has dominated my life for many years. At one point I was on as many as eleven different prescriptions. Two months ago I stopped all pharmaceuticals and started a peptide regimen instead. It helped, but my back, shoulders, and neck were still in bad shape. In desperation I called Rivas Chiropractic. I'd been to chiropractors before and never got the results I wanted, so I was skeptical. I was even prepared to call as many as eighty places if I had to.
Talking to Ace on the phone changed that. She told me how an accident led her to Dr. Rivas, and how life-changing the experience was for her--so much so that she became his assistant. She also mentioned patients come from as far as Guatemala to see him. Something about her story felt completely genuine.
When I arrived, I was surprised to discover that Ace is actually Ace Vega, a local Las Vegas singer and entertainer in Latin music. We quickly realized we have many friends in common in the entertainment industry. That connection made me feel instantly at ease.
Dr. Rivas is more than a chiropractor--he's also a massage therapist--but what impressed me most was how much time he spent on the mental and internal side of healing. While he worked on my body, he shared wisdom and techniques for framing the mind toward recovery. At one point he even had me meditate while he drove his hand into my stomach with a massage technique I'd never experienced before. There was some pain, but it was manageable, and within moments I was completely relaxed.
He offered me a six-visit package that was very reasonably priced and completely flexible--no schedule, use it whenever I need. The relief was immediate. I felt tremendous ease, almost euphoric at times. The rest of my day I kept marveling at how my body was finally working the way it should for the first time in many years.
I'm fifty-four and still have other issues--I may never be a hundred percent--but thanks to Rivas Chiropractic, for the first time in a long time I believe I'm going to be alright.
Thank you, Ricardo and Ace. You're my people now! read more
