Testimonials

I experienced pain in one calf when running and biking. After a month of babying the calf, I met Dr. Hildebrand. He identified not only some scar tissue in the calf and tendon areas (I have been a runner for almost 40 years), but he was able to diagnose weakness in my foot. That led to overcompensation and ultimately led to my calf pain. He gave me several treatments to dislodge the old scar tissue, and then we began working on strengthening the ultimate source of problem – weak foot muscles! I have been diligent in performing the exercises at home that Dr. Hildebrand gave me. I have been pain-free since my work with Dr. Hildebrand. I’m back to running and cycling, getting ready for my competitive season.

When I came to Dr. Pete I was having trouble moving as it seemed my lower back was locked up from scoliosis. After 10 visits, just like Jessica promised, I was able to move better & certainly have mobility again! I exercise frequently but had dropped off before Dr. Pete & now again I can move around. I will definitely be on a regular maintenance plan with Dr. Pete!!

As a highly competitive long distance runner, the demands I put on my body requires a lot of maintenance so I can race at my best. I’ve found A.R.T. performed by Dr. Justin helps in the removal of scar tissue. This helps in maintaining my flexibility and shortens my recovery times from hard workouts.

I had been experiencing back pain where my regular chiropractic adjustments were not helping. I went to Dr Casey on a referral from my chiropractor. Before I got to Dr. Casey, I had also developed severe pain in my jaw. Dr. Casey asked a lot of questions and did a thorough evaluation before beginning treatment. In about 8 visits, my two sources of pain were completely cleared and I have not experienced any pain in the several months that have passed. I highly recommend KC North Spine & Joint Center. What Dr. Casey did for me was extraordinary. Don’t live with the pain; get it fixed at KC North Spine & Joint Center!

As any endurance athlete will tell you, we ask a lot of our bodies and the 2011 season for me was no different. 3 Marathons, 2 Ultra-Marathons, 2 half Iron-man, 1 full Ironman and not to mention the countless shorter running or triathlon races I participated in. I was punishing my body, riddled with injuries and it was only halfway through the season. This is precisely how I found my way to KCNSJC. Dr. Pete took time to not only treat the problem areas but address the underlying weaknesses which caused these injuries. Whether it was with an adjustment, ART, Graston or rehabilitative exercises these non-invasive techniques allowed me to finish the season much stronger than expected. The 2012 race season is no different with several half and full Iron-man on the schedule. I’m training more than I ever have before and I’m injury free. I’m now a big believer in injury prevention and KCNSJC is an integral part of my training program.

In mid-June I woke up and felt excruciating pain in my right hip as soon as I stood up. Either sitting or laying down were the only positions that reduced the pain. I sought help at two different chiropractors, acupuncture, a medical doctor, physical therapy, all to no avail. Upon hearing of the Spine & Joint Center I gave them a call and made an appointment. The first two appointments did not result in any significant relief. However, during the third appointment, Dr Casey had me lay down and roll on a device several times. As soon as I stood up I realized a real improvement in my hip. After a couple more treatments the entire hip pain was gone and I have been able to resume my normal and regular life style. I highly recommend the KC North Spine & Joint Center for anyone with serious difficulty.

Dr. Justin did an awesome job rehabilitating my neck. In my first initial evaluation, moving my neck side-to-side was almost impossible. By the last visit, my neck was 100% recovered. I was given an excellent & thorough evaluation in addition to at home therapy. I could not have asked for better treatment. Thanks!

I hesitated at first to see a chiropractor, but after a 5K race, my tendon was killing me. Luckily, one of the KC North’s doctors was at the finish line and started treatment that has left me pain-free and ready to run again. My doctor also tackled a few other trouble spots with great success.

I bent down to tie my shoe one night and got this really sharp pain in my lower back that radiated to my groin. I had to go to work the next day which was very painful. As a nurse, I do not bend over much but I could not even bend over to give a baby her pacifier while she was sitting in the swing. I had never been to a chiropractor but after talking with some of my colleagues it seemed to be the best idea. My first appointment was good. Dr. Hildebrand informed me he did some things different than other chiropractors. He used manipulation along with ways to get you out of pain such as stretching and taught me exercises that would strengthen your back so this problem will not occur again. After the first real visit, I could bend down and touch my toes without being in pain. After my fourth visit my pain was completely gone even when I woke up in the morning. I will continue to do my strengthening exercises and also know how to get out of pain when ever need be. Thank you Dr. Justin for helping me to get back to my old self prior to my painful bending down experience.

Dr. Justin did a great job of relieving my initial pain and showing me, over time how to exercise the problem areas. He explains everything he does and what it helps with. Dr. Justin was very understanding of my exact complaints and made sure I knew how to avoid these issues. Dr. Justin and the rest of the staff are very compassionate and caring. They were always able to get me in to see them in a timely manner.
