“I had been having some lower back pain for a couple of years but was always skeptical of chiropractors. After seeing Dr. Leif Olson yesterday, I felt more agile athletically, I slept better, and the pain in my back is gone. He didn’t put me on an expensive plan trying to get me to come back in every week, but he did give me exercise and stretches to do at home that will help with mitigating pain and strengthening the portions of my body that lead to this type of pain. I can’t imagine a better experience. I just wish I would have gone sooner.“
