Before beginning treatment with Dr. Warlick and his amazing staff, I had been suffering from excruciating back pain for about 4 months on and off. My pain was so bad that there were days when i couldn’t move at all without feeling like lightning struck my back. I figured it was a pinched nerve or sciatica or something that would correct itself eventually. When I finally said enough is enough and I went in to see them, I was very shocked to hear that I had fractured my spine, since I never really injured it, or so I thought. I thought he was kidding because who doesn’t remember breaking their back? He explained that it probably happened at a young age and this type of fracture can go unnoticed for several years before problems present themselves. I was a mess!! After the initial shock wore off, I met with Doc and his awesome ladies to discuss his plan of action to help me avoid surgery and get me back on my feet. They were very compassionate, thorough, and professional. I began to feel some relief immediately after he adjusted my spine, but the pain was still excruciating. It gradually it got better and better until there was almost no pain. The rehab girls did a fantastic job helping me through all the exercises and stretches, and they also made the experience fun. The girls in the office are also very friendly, and excellent about getting you right in. Never more than a 5 minute wait. Doc treated me every couple of days, and he took the time to show me how to do things that normally don’t require thought, like how to properly bend, which is a serious risk factor for me, and informed me of things I have to avoid like walking up hill. “We didn’t get you feeling this much better to let you go backwards again” was something I heard from him a several times, which helped put my mind at ease since I really didn’t believe he could fix me without surgery until I finally started feeling some serious improvement after several weeks. I’m a huge believer in his abilities now, and I'm extremely grateful for the positive experience I had from the moment I picked up the phone and made my first appointment. Upon finishing therapy, my pain level was minimal, just enough to remind me to be careful. He recommended I come in for regular adjustments to maintain the position my spine is now in thanks to all the people at solutions. I highly recommend anyone with back and neck pain, call solutions integrated medicine, you won’t regret it.
