Severe Leg Pain Limited All Activity!

I had my first experience with chiropractic treatment at a time when my right leg was in great pain and I was limited to walking for ten steps at a time. I had waited for several weeks from the first time I experienced pain. My wife finally convinced me to seek treatment.

At this time I started treatment with Dr. VanderBroek three times a week. I was limited to spending all my time (24/7) in the lazy boy! The pain was intense and I could only sleep for a short period day and night.

The treatments included adjustments, electrical stimulation, traction and series of daily exercises. The pain started to ease and was completely gone after twenty days. I continue both the exercises and adjustments on a regular basis and have not experienced any pain for the past year.

I would highly recommend the Holmes Lake Chiropractic Group. I also would suggest that treatment begin immediately with the first feeling of intense pain.

Chiropractic should be your FIRST, not LAST resort

After living with pain in my left leg for several months. I finally went to my primary care physician last spring and was diagnosed with left sciatica. At the time, he gave my three options for treatment: 1) medication; 2) physical therapy; 3) chiropractic care. First, I chose to try the medication, which ameliorated my symptoms-but when I stopped taking the pills, the pain returned. Then I went through a two month course of physical therapy, which helped only slightly. Having never experienced chiropractic care before, I was reluctant to try it-and therefore made it my last option. In hindsight, I wish I had tried it first-I could have saved myself a lot of pain, time, and money! After an initial consultation with Dr. Vander Broek, I began a regular course of chiropractic treatment. Within a couple of months, I was able to discontinue ALL medication, I have returned to my normal activities and I am almost completely pain-free. Based on my excellent experience, I would urge anyone from whom chiropractic care is an option to make it their FIRST option! Thank You, Dr. Vander Broek.

Treatment for a bad back keeps me going!

I have been receiving my care at Holmes Lake Chiropractic Group since the late 70's. My back problems started in 1978. My back was in such terrible shape with sciatica and muscle spasms that I was told that surgery such as laminectomy (disc removal) was the only route to go to relieve my symptoms. I really was dreading this. After speaking with a Radiologist at the facility where I was working, he recommended another alternative and that was chiropractic.

A close friend of mine was receiving treatment at Holmes Lake Chiropractic Group and she highly recommended seeing Dr. David Kats at the time. After 2 weeks of treatments I could not believe the difference. I had come along way from the first visit when I could hardly get out of my vehicle and stand straight. I was able to resume my normal lifestyle activities without and surgery in a very short time.

At present, I am a patient of Dr. Douglas Vander Broek's. His care and monthly treatments have kept me away from the surgery that I about had in the 70's. He is always available at any time if my back flares up; even after office hours including weekends. He is very prompt in answering a call from me anytime.

Dr. Vander Broek's care enables me to maintain my active lifestyle. I appreciate knowing that his care is always available to me. He is very considerate and professional along with his whole office staff as well.

Disc Problems? No problem for chiropractic.

I want to thank Dr. Vander Broek for helping my back disc problem. I wish I would have done it 10 years early. I get a treatment once a month and it's great. You feel full of energy and you feel like a new person. I am 67 years and people tell me I look like 50 years. Because of Dr. Vander Broek I now have little back pain. Thanks Again

Neck Pain/Stiffness is Relieved

For years, I experienced a stiff neck that would last for 3-5days and just took time to work itself out. The frustrating part is that it would happen at least twice a month and I often could not turn my head. My father was seeing Dr. Vander Broek for back pain and recommended him.

From the first time I met Dr. Vander Broek, I felt like a long time patient under his care. It truly felt like the level of care was next to no other and I was not just at the "Chirocracker"! After x-rays and consultation, it was determined that my neck pain was a result of a childhood diagnosis of Scoliosis of my upper back. I never sought treatment as it was not a major case and just a minor problem, but over many years, it had began to cause my neck pain.

After a very aggressive treatment and therapy schedule, I am now on a monthly program that keeps my back aligned and have had very few problems with my neck since receiving treatment. I am never afraid to call Dr. Vander Broeks office when new pain arises.

Dr. Vander Broek is very genuine in his concerns for you overall health, as your well-being has a lot to do with your overall health. We often discuss being active and how routine exercise helps your back. He's not just there to push you through and move you on to his next scheduled appointment!

Our family is very much appreciative to Dr. Vander Broek and staff and that they went out of their way to assure that all patients are assured of corrective action any time day or night!

A Severe Injury sent me to the Chiropractor.

In October of 2005 while attending a wedding in Del Mar, CA I slipped and fell on a set of wet steps at the hotel pool. I landed with my full weight on my buttocks while my mid back hit on the middle step. I knew from the resulting pain and discomfort I would need professional help with my situation.

When I returned to Lincoln I consulted Dr. Vander Broek concerning chiropractic care. After examining the x-rays he confirmed I had bruised ribs and muscles in my back along with severely bruised coccyx. He recommended a treatment of spinal adjustments, traction, ultrasound, and electrical muscle stimulation.

After six weeks of chiropractic treatment and restricted activities such as lifting at home I eliminated the pain and sustained no permanent back damage. This was my first chiropractic experience and the treatment eliminated what could have been a long and painful recovery to a very serious fall. I am most appreciative of the professional care I received and would certainly recommend chiropractic care for this type of injury.
