Herniated Disc: “My leg is no longer numb, and I can walk 3 miles!"
"I suffered for six months with a herniated disc and numbness on the inside of my leg. I couldn’t walk more than half a block because of the pain and I was scared to go to the gym. I got an MRI and received cortisone shot which didn’t help me at all. When I received a flyer about Decompression in the mail, I knew that was what I needed. I started Decompression therapy at Olympic and by the third or fourth week I was feeling much better. It was incredible, and it’s been steadily uphill from there. My leg is no longer numb, I can walk three miles three times a week and I’m back to being able to take care of my beautiful yard. I’m also able to get up and go to social activities where before I felt like a hermit, stuck at home in my chair. From the very beginning, it was clear that they cared. Dr. Shelley called to check on me after my first appointment. I love the staff at Olympic!" – Joy A., Bothell, WA

Arthritic Neck: “It was like a miracle for me"
"For years I was consistent with chiropractic and physical therapy and while my neck and back didn’t get any worse, it wasn’t getting any better either. Finally after many years of preventive care I was introduced to the new treatments at Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy. The second week of therapy I noticed dramatic changes. It was like a miracle for me, it just seemed unreal! My pain is greatly reduced, I have much better range of motion, I have less fatigue and generally feel like I have more energy to do activities that the pain was holding me back from. In addition to chronic neck and back pain I was battling with chronic sinus infections, pain in my eyes, indigestion, and a constant gravely throat. All of those symptoms have diminished! Before treatment I was dragging doing my professional duties. Now I have a high level of energy whether I am counseling, preparing a sermon or leading worship. I feel so much better and I’m excited about my days now!" – Father Roger, Mountlake Terrace, WA

Sciatic Pain: “Now I have no sciatic pain, numbness or tingling"
"One day I bent over and had severe sciatic pain running down both legs. I had back pain for about 6 years, but I had the sciatic pain for about 6 months. My pain was debilitating. I had tried a lot of different treatments in the past for my pain such as meds, injections, acupuncture, physical therapy, massage therapy, and chiropractic. I went to an orthopedist who told me if the injection didn’t work that I would need surgery. After treating at Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy I started noticing results in 2 weeks. Now I have no sciatic pain, numbness or tingling. I move better and I’m almost pain free. Now I am able to go for walks, go to the dog park, hit a bucket of golf balls, I would even drive to California now. My quality of life is so much better than before. I think now I can even get back into playing racquetball. Everyone at Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy is very knowledgeable, organized, caring and friendly. Quite simply IT WORKS!" – John T., Shoreline, WA

Chronic Fatigue: “I am able to travel and run with no trouble"
"For the past seven years I had spent most of my time in bed from chronic fatigue. The treatment at Olympic pulled me out of it. I had come to Olympic Spine & Sports Therapy with the idea that I just wanted to maintain my spine; I had no idea that it would resolve my chronic fatigue or correct my posture. I didn’t even know what postural rehabilitation was before I started treatment. When I ruptured a disc and couldn't even stand up straight, decompression and laser treatments got me back on my feet. It has also helped stop the degeneration process that was starting in my spine, and I have great range of motion now. I used to feel so stiff and locked up. Life in general is much easier now. I am able to travel and run with no trouble. I really feel that the posture correction helped eliminate the majority of my symptoms." – Sandra M., Sewickley, PA

Leg Numbness & Sciatica: “My sciatica pain and numbness were completely gone."
"For many years I had been experiencing back pain, sciatic pain with numbness down my left leg and reduced mobility in my neck. Simple daily tasks such as getting up from a sitting position, working on the computer were questionable. I was not able to meet with clients without thinking about pain. I tried medication, acupuncture, heat and meeting with a sports medicine doctor. The treatment at Olympic is very comprehensive, thorough and the goal of treatment was clear from the beginning. After a month of treatment my sciatica pain and numbness were completely gone! The back pain had decreased greatly and I had a lot more mobility in my neck. Being an artist, I am able to stand and sit for hours enjoying what I am doing and not thinking about pain! I am enjoying regular walks and looking forward to running again. Everyone at the office is wonderful, professional, friendly in a very supportive environment. The best chiropractic experience I’ve ever had thanks to Dr. Shelley and Dr. Word and the support of the entire staff." – Carol M., Shoreline, WA

Neck, Shoulder and Arm Pain: “I had three herniated discs…. now my pain is completely gone!"
"I was having constant, unrelenting pain in my neck, shoulder and arm that made just being upright difficult. As a labor and delivery nurse, being in constant pain made it harder to support my patients the way I wanted to. After my shifts I had to spend hours on the couch with ice packs on my neck and shoulder. When I scheduled an appointment and saw Dr. Shelley, I was impressed by his thoroughness. He did tests no one had done before, and based on his findings sent me out for an MRI on my neck. The MRI showed I had three herniated discs that were causing my pain. After about a week of treatment I started to feel better and now my pain is completely gone! The treatment at Olympic is special because it is individualized; it is thorough and very comprehensive. Now, not only am I pain free, I'm back to exercising regularly and looking forward to skiing, biking and golfing. Thanks to the posture correction procedures I'm sitting and standing so much straighter. I can actually sit in the car and my head stays against the headrest without trying! The staff at Olympic are fabulous! Everyone is friendly. It's like being around friends instead of just being in another doctor’s clinic." – Kristl C., Edmonds, WA
