It’s worth the money because my quality-of-life has dramatically improved!

I had pain, numbness, tingling, and burning in my feet, all day, every day. I’ve also had dealt with hip and low back pain for many years. If I went to an event, I had to plan for time to stop and rest. When I went to the dragstrip, I could walk down the 1/4 mile, but had to get a ride back. Now I just walk as far as I want. Yesterday, I walked 4 1/2 miles. Now, my workouts are stronger, and I sleep better! I’m 65% better overall and still improving. I wasn’t willing to just let it get worse. It’s worth the money because my quality-of-life has dramatically improved.

I am more than 50% better and still improving.

My hip pain started after I lifted a log. When I got up in the morning, I couldn’t stand on my right leg without it giving out. I couldn’t even bend over to put my socks on. I couldn’t do work around the house, exercise, or play golf. I was living on ibuprofen, but it didn’t get better. I had two steroid injections, but the relief didn’t last. The pain just kept coming back. I knew the next step was surgery. Both of my brothers and my father had back surgeries and they all said, “don’t do it!”.

Now, I am so much better than I was. I am more than 50% better and still improving. Why wouldn’t you give this a chance?

Now I can sleep through the night, I can cook without assistance and my symptoms are improved by over 90%

I had an electrical nerve test performed and they said I had carpal tunnel syndrome in both wrists. Last summer, after spending all day pruning, I developed shooting pain in my arms and hands along with numbness and tingling. I couldn’t lift a coffee pot, even using cooking utensils was difficult. One of the worst things was waking up because of the shooting pain. I started feeling improvement from my treatment at Olympic within a few weeks. Now I can sleep through the night, I can cook without assistance and my symptoms are improved by over 90%. They said I needed surgery, I’m sure glad I tried this first!

My limp is gone, I can sleep on my side, and my pain is reduced by 90%!

 I heard the ads on the radio and figured: what do I have to lose? My low back and hip pain were so bad I couldn’t walk without limping. I had to learn how to sleep on my back because laying on my side was so painful, I couldn’t fall asleep. I was only getting 3 or 4 hours of sleep a night. Now I’m back to 7 to 8 hours of sleep per night.

 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!

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.  Not only are my feet and back better, my brain is better too!”

The change is phenomenal!

My foot and low back pain was so severe I didn’t know if I would make it into the office from the parking lot. I could only stand for a few minutes. Now, I can stand at least 30 minutes. My neck is stronger, and I don’t have headaches anymore. The commute from Enumclaw can take two hours, but it’s worth it to get my life back! It comes down to how bad you want to get better.

The treatment I got at Olympic is more thorough than any other office I’ve been to

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!

I am 80% better and still improving!

Between the back pain and numbness in my legs and feet, I was miserable. They said I needed to have a multilevel fusion surgery. My legs would get so numb I couldn’t do anything but sit until the feeling came back. My work was severely limited. Before starting treatment, I could only drive a few hundred miles a week. Now I’m up to 1300 to 1500 miles a week. I used to avoid sales calls if I had to walk even 100 feet. Now I can walk a quarter of a mile.

I’m so much better, I plan to return to skiing this year!

I used to ski, bungee jump and rock climb. Those were all taken away because of my pain.

My low back, hip, and leg pain was so severe I had to do exercises for two hours each morning in order to be able to walk. Often the pain was so severe I would vomit. I had x-ray, CAT scan, MRI and nerve test done. All they could offer what a prescription for opioids which I rejected. Now, after my treatment at Olympic my pain is reduced by over 90%. I don’t toss and turn all night, and when I get up, I can walk without pain! I’m not taking any drugs, self-medicating with wine or using CBD oil.

What makes them special compared to other clinics I’ve been to is the all-inclusive care

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.

This treatment has been life-changing!

There was nothing else I could do to get better. I had the nerves in my back burned, but the pain came back within two months. Back surgery was not an option. I was in constant pain even when taking 2-3 Percocet a day. Now I’m off all prescription medication. I can stand for an hour instead of minutes. I have energy to do the things in life I enjoy, not just work and recover.

It’s worth the drive from Bellingham

I hated getting up in the morning. Standing up caused stabbing pain in my leg. My left foot was so numb, it made me walk with a limp. I was only able to do about 30% of my life. I could feel the improvement after the first few weeks of treatment at Olympic. Now I’m able to do life at 90%! It’s worth the drive from Bellingham. Treatment here has been a total game-changer.

I would’ve written a check for $100,000 if I had known I could get this much relief

I haven’t slept for more than 2 ½ to 3 hours at a time in 10 years because of the pain. I tried medication, massage therapy, chiropractic, physical therapy, and injections. I am a small business owner; my plan is to retire in five years. My concern was retiring with constant pain, being limited in what I can do, and not being able to enjoy time with my family.

The treatment is expensive, but honestly, I would’ve written a check for $100,000 if I had known I could get this much relief. My life is so much better. Now I can work a full day and sleep through the night! I rode a bike 20 miles and played softball with my kids.

In addition to the treatment, it’s an education. I’ve learned how to sit and move properly. I always get an explanation to my questions, not a short “move along” answer. The staff is exceptional, they’re all invested in the patient’s results.

Now I can go up and downstairs, ride my bike and I’m back to hiking!

For a year and a half, I had sharp pain in both my knees. Going up and downstairs 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 downstairs, 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.

By the end of April, I was over 90% improved!

I’m 71 years old and have been an 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 pickleball courts and in the weight room.

It’s crazy how much it has improved!

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. 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.

I am back up to running 20+ miles per week!

I was running 35 miles per week, then I broke down. The mid-back pain, hip, and low back pain brought my running to an abrupt stop. Now, two months later, I’m 75% better. I am back up to running 20+ miles per week and working my way up to 40 miles per week to qualify for the Boston Marathon. 

The treatment I’ve had here at Olympic has been much more effective.

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

I think the difference is having all the treatment together  

I was really frustrated! I felt like my body was old before it’s time. I tried massage therapy, chiropractic, physical therapy, medication, and injections. None of them worked. I could only sit for 10 minutes, walk a few blocks, and had to take steps one at a time. Now I can sit in a meeting for over an hour and a half, walk over a mile and take stairs like a “normal“ person! I think the difference is having all the treatment together. The staff is awesome, and the results are amazing!
