TESTIMONIALS

“For a year and a half I had sharp pain in both my knees. Going up and down stairs was very painful, and I could no longer run. Before coming to Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy I worked with an Orthopedic doctor, a Spine Specialist, my General Medical doctor, a Physical Therapist, Massage Therapist and a Podiatrist.”

“I started to notice a difference within the first couple months of treatment. Now I can go up and down stairs, ride my bike and I’m back to hiking! My outlook on life also has improved. The realization that I’m not restricted due to a decline in a health is a big relief. The staff is very personable, friendly and caring. Every department knows how to work together as part of the team.”

“For about a month I had neck and upper back pain that prevented me from being able to get off the couch or stand up.  I had migraines so painful they made me sick.  Ice, heat and even pain medication didn’t get rid of the pain.  As an athlete I was so used to ignoring but my body finally said; I’ve had enough!  My husband told me about Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy.  Within the first month, my pain went from  9/10 to 3/10.”

“My quality of life has greatly improved!  I have more energy to take care of household chores.  I’m back to working in the yard.  I can sit through a movie and church. I’m socializing with neighbors and entertaining.  I’m back to walking 2-3 miles a day and lifting weights.  I’ve learned to listen to my body and not over-do it.  The staff are so friendly and helpful. Dr. Shelley did a very thorough examination including X-ray and MRI.  They understand the steps you need to go through to heal and move forward with your life.”

“I had what I called “back attacks” twice a year that would send me to the hospital. They sent me home with pain killers. In 2012 I had a “back attack” that kept me out of work for one month.”

“I came to Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy and I started to feel relief after my very first decompression treatment. I don’t think about my pain anymore. I can do laundry all day and not be wiped out. Before I would do one load and then I was down for the rest of the day. I’m thinking about doing yard work, I thought that I was done with that before my treatment at Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy.”

 “I’m 71 years old and have been in avid athlete all my life. I started experiencing pain in both of my shoulders that was bothersome. By the first of 2019, the symptoms had become debilitating, causing constant pain from my shoulders to my hands. I started treatment at Olympic Spine and Sport in late January 2019. By the end of April, I was over 90% improved! The pain is largely gone, and the range of motion has greatly improved. Now I’m back on the squash and pickle ball courts and in the weight room.”

“Three months ago, I had given up on thinking that I could do the things I love. My body hurt and I felt a lot older than I am. I wasn’t as active with my family. I even avoided walking my dog because of the pain in my feet and back. Today, I am on the road back to recovery and being more active.  I’m participating with my family and friends more. We went to Disneyland and every day I was able to walk 20,000-25,000 steps a day! Not only are my feet and back better, my brain is better too!”

– Sondra S., Lake Stevens

“Since 2010, I’ve had pain in my right hip including sciatic pain that radiated down my entire right side. This was from years of being an umpire and traveling. Last December, after officiating a basketball game, my pain was so intense my wife had to put my socks on.”

“My wife heard about Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy on the radio and encouraged me to give it a try. By the end of the first week, I felt better. I’ve been able to reduce my pain medication, which is huge. I’m able to work for longer periods of time, even squat to work with catchers. My wife is really excited that I listened to her suggestion to come to Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy.”

 “My pain started in 2015 when we moved to Washington. I was diagnosed with a slipped vertebrae, bulging disc, scoliosis and compression fractures. To avoid multiple low back surgeries, I opted to get a spinal cord stimulator implant. Initially it helped, but progressively became less effective. The treatment I’ve had here at Olympic has been much more effective. So much so, that I don’t use the stimulator anymore and plan to have it removed!”

– Ginny P., Sequim

“For eight years, I had sciatic pain from a bulging disc. The pain was so intense I felt like I needed to go to the emergency room every day. I couldn’t sleep or work. It was very hard on my family.”

“I learned about Sound Pain Solutions from an ad on the radio.  I started to feel better the first week. The sciatic pain was gone within the first two weeks. I’m able to vacuum without pain and change the laundry without sitting on the floor. Since I feel better, I’m excited to exercise more, get back to walking and swimming.  I love the staff! They make me feel like family, and they care about how I feel.  I got answers to my questions all the way through my treatment.  I feel supported, even from the other patients.”

 “I was suffering from debilitating pain in my thigh, sciatic area, and my low back for over 8 months. It left me unable to walk without assistance. It was very frustrating because I had to use a wheelchair at church and a walker everywhere else. I tried various medications, physical therapy, and even chiropractors, without any relief.”

 “It took me about 4 weeks of treatment to start to see long-lasting results. Now, after completing my treatment, I no longer have severe pain or a roller coaster of pain throughout my day. I no longer must use a walker or wheelchair at church. I walk freely on my own and can participate more fully in leading worship on Sundays. I feel like my energy is higher and my spirit is brighter. Sound Pain Solutions has given my life back to me, and I am deeply grateful.”

– Dennie C., Burien

 “I used to hate my shoulder workout days. Before, when I lifted weights, my left shoulder limited what I could do. I could tell it didn’t match my right side. Now, I’m 95% better. It’s crazy how much it has improved! My back and neck are better, too. My x-rays showed I reduced the misalignment from 45 mm to just 8 mm. I’m so thankful I did this treatment.”

– Fillip G., Everett

“When my symptoms were at their very worst, I couldn’t feel where my feet were on the ground, so I always had to look down to see where they were. I saw an ad on KIRO for Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy. I was specifically interested in peripheral neuropathy. Within the first month, I started noticing changes. No more burning and throbbing in my feet. I was able to reduce pain medication for leg spasms. I feel good, more alert and alive. I’m able to respond to my environment better! My household chores and gardening are easier. I travel from Bainbridge Island to get to Olympic Spine; it’s a big deal for me to get on and off the very busy ferry terminal. I’ve even been able to help care for someone else.”

– Donna S., Bainbridge Island

“After my automobile accident, I had pain in my shoulders, mid back, and low back. It made it hard to get in and out of my truck. Now my pain is reduced by over 60%. I can move again! The treatment I got at Olympic is more thorough than any other office I’ve been to. They have a more complete treatment approach and more advanced therapies. The staff is phenomenal and friendly. This place is awesome!”

– Byron R., Kenmore

 “I’ve experienced episodes of neck pain off and on since I was in my 20s. This time was different. It just wouldn’t go away, and I couldn’t find anything that would relieve the pain. It was there all the time when I was sitting, and especially bad when I was driving. I  drive a lot for my work . My normal schedule is to alternate driving to Portland one week and Spokane the next. I drive there and back in one day so round-trip is 400 to 650 miles. Doing that with constant neck, shoulder and arm pain was no fun.”

 “Now, I’m glad to say my pain is virtually gone; I’m 95% better! Without a doubt, I would recommend trying this first before any invasive procedures.”

– Steve J., Maulby

“About a year and a half ago, I extruded the discs in my L5 and S1-S2 vertebrae. The pain was unbearable!  I had shooting pain down my left leg through my glute and down my calf.”

“Dr. Shelley offered non-surgical spinal decompression therapy. The treatment plan was a big commitment and more involved than surgery but would benefit me more in the long run. I continue to come here a year and a half later because I feel how much of a difference it makes in my life and helping my back stay strong! I do believe that without the help of Olympic Spine I would not have the quality of life that I am now able to enjoy!”
