 | I'm a 51 year old disabled Police Officer and have a fused leg. My left leg is also 1½ inches shorter than my right leg due to surgeries. This leaves me with a lot of back problems. I'm still very active in sports. I ski a mono/sit ski and took 1st place at the Nastar Race in Telluride, Colorado in February, 2010. I also ride a handcycle as I'm unable to peddle a regular bike. On a monthly basis I will do a hundred mile ride as well as shorter distances. I'm competitive in hand cycle races. I raced in Oak Ridge Tennessee the end of August 2010 and took 1st place in the road race, 1st place in the time trial and 3rd place in the criterium. |
None of this would be possible without Dr. Russell Janssen and his most excellent staff. Before I found Dr. Janssen I went to several chiropractors and doctors without good results. I even ended up in the emergency room as I couldn't stand up. They shot my back full of drugs, which took the pain away for a short time, but didn't fix or deal with the underlying problem. Dr. Janssen explains what the problem is and everything he's doing along the way. The treatment doesn't hurt and most of all it works. I highly recommend Dr. Janssen to everyone. Words can not say thank you enough for all that Dr. Janssen has done for me. YOU'RE THE BEST DR. JANSSEN. J. L. (Oct 2010) P. S. Bonnie and Faith are the best staff anyone could ask for. |
I recently purchased some orthotics for my shoes and couldn't believe how effective they were. I used to have shin splints; my being on my feet 10-12 hrs a day and the bottom of my feet used to cramp up from being flat footed. This was one of the best investments to make for yourself. My shin splints are gone and the bottom of my feet don't cramp up. Also my stiffness in my lower back has vanished......S. G. (Dec 2010) When I first started coming here 8 months ago or so, I was having chronic lower and mid-back pain. My hip flexers lacked flexibility and I was stiff. Lower and mid back muscles were hard as a rock along with a pinched nerve in my lower back. Now currently the pinched nerve is gone and hasn't come back. My chronic back pain is gone, even after working long hours at work. My back muscles in my lower and mid back are normal, no longer stiff and rock hard. My hips are fluid and not stiff. I have been very satisfied with my results and would recommend anyone of any age to consult my chiropractic physician for at least a check=up....S. G. (Nov 2010) |  |

 | I first started seeing Dr. Janssen in April 2009. At that time I was very frustrated and depressed over the fact that I couldn't get relief from the pain in my back, hip and thigh. This had been an on-going situation for almost a year. My primary care doctor sent me to an orthopedic specialist. This resulted in steriod shots and medication for inflamation which gave only temporary relief. I wasn't satisfied with this type of treatment and the fact my mobility was still hampered. In desparation, I decided to try a chiropractor. I made an appointment with Dr. Janssen, which has turned out to be a very good decision. Through a series of manipulations, light treatments, I began to get some relief. Then I started on the treadmill. That has been a tremendous help. (This is no an ordinary treadmill). Since starting treatment with Dr. Janssen, my short leg syndrome has gone away and my gait has improved immensely. At present time, I am only going for one appointment weekly. | | When I first came to Dr. Janssen I was on 3 appointment per week. I no longer need steroid shots nor medication for inflamation. I highly recommend chiropractic treatment for any aches or paints. I am now back to an active life, even bowling. Many thanks to Dr. Janssen and his staff, Bonnie and Faith....J. W.

My name is Cathy and I came to see Dr. Janssen in late May. My problem was a strong burning sensation in my left leg when I walked a distance and a back/left hip totally out of shape. I was a bit skeptical if Dr. Janssen could help me, as three prior chiropractors were unable to address my concern. After three weeks of seeing Dr. Janssen, I felt the beginnings of relief. I continued the treadmill thereapy combined with the pad and 2½ months later I have regained my walking stride. Dr. Janssen explained I had a structural problem in my back from an auto accident which disturbed the growth pattern in my right leg (slightly shorter). By training my brain on the treadmill to re-open nerve paths closed many years ago, he was able to strengthen my hip/back thus giving relief to my leg. In the end, it was my back, not my left leg that was a matter of concern. I return to him shortly to determine if a month with no therapy has rendered any change while continueing to wear the shim in my shoe I'm most thankful for Dr. Janssen and his staff for their kind and professional treatment which has given me back my life......Cathy (Sept 2010)

Many people suffer for months or years before learning about chiropractic and what it can do. Judith H. of Clearwater, FL is just one of the many people who have been helped by Dr. Janssen. Judith writes: On a scale of 1 to 10, my pain was an agonizing 10! The pain changed my lifestyle. I couldn't stand long enough to do dishes, or sit at the computer for any length of time. I was concerned about being able to handle my job. I spent thousands and thousands of dollars on tests, treatments, injections in my lower spine, and painkillers. Nothing worked. All I got was temporary relief. Then my daughter suggested I try chiropractic. I have been a patient of Dr. Russell Janssen since April 2004. In four months Dr. Janssen has reduced my pain from 10 to a 2 or 3 - and best of all the treatment didn't hurt. I'm now able to do all the things I couldn't do before - even my favorite hobby of Artistic Roller Skating. I was able to complete - and won a gold medal!
Thank you Dr. Janssen! |  |

I had a hip replacement in 1992. But before that I had an unusual gait and a problem keeping my sacroilliac from slipping out of place. I have gone to physical therapist and chiropractors since 1975, but they were never able to correct the problem. When I walked into Dr. Janssen's office, he had me walk down the hall and took x-rays and said, "I can help you". Right then I had confidence in the doctor and knew he could do it. YES, he did, he put a shim in my shoe on the right foot and worked with me twice a week. I never gave up. I kept my appointments. Yes, he had done it. I am walking with a better gait. I am free of pain and I would recommend Dr. Janssen to anyone that is in pain. The Doctor will tell you if he can anything for you or not. This is the only other thing I like about the Doctor. I must say the two girls, Bonnie and Faith are wonderful and up-beat and keep it lively in there. I love the hours....E. S. Holiday Fl (Oct. 2010) |
I am so thankful to be able to tell you about the improvements to my body since I've been coming to Dr. Janssen - psychologically I am so much more confident and secure; no longer leaning on the hallway wall (!!); no longer sometimes dizzy; and the best is no longer limping. I thought it had something to do with old age (91), but I was wrong. Today I have even called Dr. Janssen a Wizard! Also, each time I walk in the front door, there are two happy and kind "girls" in the office (Bonnie and Faith). Nuff said on the paper..more later...B.S.(Feb 2010) |
