I've been suffering from sciatic pain for over 6 months. I dreaded getting up each morning because…read moreI knew the pain would be unbearable and last all day. I went to see Dr. Fretty on the recommendation of a friend. Dr. Fretty suggested a spinal decompression therapy that required 3 office visits per week for 8 weeks. I'll admit, it seemed like a lot, especially since I came from 45 minutes away. The pain worsened, and I decided to give Dr. Fretty's recommendation a try. It was that or I felt I would be suffering from this for the rest of my life. I am in week 6 of treatment, and I am so very happy to finally have relief. In the previous weeks, I was at a pain level of 10 for most of the day. A few weeks later, my pain gradually went from all day pain to severe morning pain with tingling during the day. For the past 5 days I have not experienced the morning pain. For the first time in months, I am thinking that I do not have to live with this for the rest of my life. If you are experiencing sciatica, I highly recommend Dr. Fretty's practice. He is compassionate and sincerely cares for his patients. I am so glad I took the leap and committed to this therapy. I hope you find this review helpful and give Dr. Fretty the opportunity to help you get back to a pain free life, too.

**Review for Dr. Larry Becker, Chiropractor**…read more I cannot recommend Dr. Larry Becker enough! When I first visited him, I was struggling with severe back pain that affected my daily life and kept me from getting a good night's sleep. Thanks to his expert care, I can now walk without pain. Dr. Becker took the time to understand my concerns and incorporated acupuncture into my treatment plan alongside chiropractic adjustments. This comprehensive approach has made a remarkable difference in alleviating not just my chronic pain, but also my insomnia, anxiety, and fatigue. His patience and thoroughness truly set him apart. He genuinely cares about finding the right solutions for me, and it shows in the results. If you're suffering from back pain--or really any type of pain--I highly encourage you to see him. The benefits of acupuncture combined with his chiropractic expertise seem to address a wide variety of issues. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Becker. Everyone should experience the relief and care he provides. He truly knows what he is doing!

Larry is amazing. Didn't know what I was getting into at first if I'm being honest but I'm so glad…read moreI came across his practice! So rare to find a solid chiropractor who also practices acupuncture. The treatment modalities he uses are unique to any other typical office experience I have had. His knowledge is so valuable and I'm able to take home what I've learned just from his level of education. Highly recommend seeing Larry!

** Updated Review: 03/11/19** I'm elated to share that Dr…read more Danowski has brought her practice back to Boulder, Colorado. While I saw great benefit with our Skype/Face-time appointments nothing beats meeting in person (not to mention the acupuncture is super helpful with helping me get my best sleep and experiencing relief from my injuries). I'm very excited to continue my in-person visits. ** Review Update: Jan 2017** This office recently relocated from Boulder, CO to San Francisco. I'm excited to receive continued care via Skype/Face-time. **Original Review: 01/16/15** Moving from the East coast to Boulder has helped me put into perspective what is important for my health and well being. I am so thankful to have found Dr. Danowski within months of moving to Boulder (I had been receiving acupuncture prior to my move out from Boston). I found Dr. Danowski via a Groupon promotion around the same time that I was failing out of physical therapy for an injury. Although my road to recovery was slow I was so happy to work with a practitioner who cared enough to teach me how my diet and well-being affected my ability to heal and stave off harmful inflammation (which was amazing considering I was sick of taking so many medications that didn't seem to be working). Even after my symptoms had subsided I have continued to meet with Dr. Danowski nearly every month and have even participated in a couple of detox cleanses under her supervision. I myself had never imagined myself to do a cleanse prior to this however I feel very safe under her care and really appreciate that she is happy to answer any and all questions I have for her both at my appointments and via email in-between appointments. Through these cleanses I have gained skills in preparing, and enjoying foods that I make myself as well as to identify items in my diet that my body has a sensitivity to. I do want to note that Dr. Danowski is much more than an acupuncturist. She is also an herbalist and naturopathic physician (which in the state of Colorado is considered a legal health care provider - sadly my current insurance does not allow for her to be my primary care physician). Within one year I safely came off of all my medications under her care (acne, inflammation, etc.). I don't even carry/take Tylenol anymore. It has truly been a life changing experience for me. I have referred many friends to her care and some continue to see her if only for continuation of their overall well being. If you are interested in seeking alternate therapy or treatments, or would like to explore what acupuncture could do for you I highly recommend Dr. Danowski.

So I have never actually needed Roberts chiropractic services, that I see that as a good thing…read more However if I did, I would certainly have him adjust my back. He has a huge passion for his work and overall health of the patient. He's done the practice and seeing lots of patients but wants to give better, overall care to the body. I think we have all had experiences when the doctor wants to see you and get you out to see the next patient, I would be surprised if some of them even know my name. What about the cause of the problem, sure my back may hurt, but why? Is it due to bad posture, stress, other symptoms may be present as well, but so many doctors are so narrow minded and forget to look at the big picture. Plus I would rather eliminate the cause than treat the symptom. Rob is very in tune with the body, medicine and overall well being so I tink that this type of service is not only a great idea and opportunity but a great way for him to reach out to a wide audience.

I was on strong pain medication just to function, and I had given up on the idea of getting better. Heather explained early on that they don't just treat the part that hurts. They look at the whole body to find what's actually causing the problem. Doctor Andrew found it, and he didn't stop at my back. He worked on my feet, my thighs, my pelvis, my neck, my shoulders and my posture. He taught me how to walk, sit and stand properly. It was a full body recovery. Heather is there at every visit and she genuinely cares how you're doing. Their goal was to heal me so I wouldn't need treatment anymore. That's exactly what happened. I'm completely off pain medication now. I feel like I have my life back and I'll be grateful forever.

Often times, it seems everyone has a Chiropractor they would recommend. And let's be honest, most…read moreof them have some very odd quirks about them! Not always the type of characters you want to spend much time with. I met Dr. Cohen about 7-8 years ago from a referral because I didn't want the traditional 'crack' treatment; and he was one of the few in the area that offered other treatments such as the Activator, Graston, etc.. Dr. Cohen is an extremely down to earth person that I immediately felt comfortable with. He doesn't do a cookie cutter treatment plan, he listens, he understands, asks the right questions, then after explaining to me what he thinks is happening to me, will start the adjustments with techniques I'm comfortable with. At this point, he has full reign, I trust him with whatever technique he thinks is best. Once he solves the issue (and often times more!) that brought me to him, I may not see him for another couple years. Recently, I experienced severe tendonitis for 6+ months, no help from Kaiser...I then caught one of Proactive's newsletters and Dr. Cohen talked about a new device he was recently working with at The Olympic Training Center. It' called Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (ESWT). I hadn't seen Dr. Cohen in couple years so I reached out to him and explained my tendonitis situation. I started the treatments and I immediately felt the change the next day. Things went up and down for several weeks, but it was clear that change was happening. After a couple months of treatments, I'm feeling fantastic! Being in my mid 40's and not able to pickup an empty glass or plate was devastating to me. Dr. Cohen has been instrumental in increasing my quality of life over the years and especially with the recent Shockwave Therapy - life changing. Book an appointment.

I'm 50ish and 6'6" so I have a very tenuous relationship with my back. It's always a threat to have…read morean issue and most of them are on the low end, but, every five-ish years my back acts up. When it does it's more than "take two ibuprofen" kind of pain. So every time this happens I've basically found a new chiro and this time was no different. I google searched and Jenny had good reviews and she was literally up the block (insert Jenny from the block reference). In the past, I've generally gone to a chiropractor and it takes 5 or 6 sessions to see results but I went from "this hurts too much to walk a mile" to "good enough to work out" in two sessions. Of course, your results may vary, but I was impressed. I'll be going back in the future and maybe if I treat the small stuff the big stuff will never happen.

I…read moreknow a lot of people knock acupuncture but they should really get to know it as the science that it is. I have chronic neck and back pain due to years-old knots that have settled deep into my tissues, but after even one cupping session, I felt those knots relieve and loosen up. I'm mad i haven't tried cupping before! The "bruising" looked gnarly, but it didn't hurt afterwards. She took all the precautions for me to feel comfortable with treatment during COVID-19. She gave me great recommendations on how to maintain my overall wellness and health that I can easily implement into my daily routine. For both people new to acupuncture and seasoned patients, I highly recommend Ann. She's very friendly and knowledgeable. She also comes from a family of acupuncturists--her dad has a reputable practice in my hometown in northern Virginia, and her grandparents and great grandparents were also acupuncturists!
