Patients Say Why Dr. Erica and Atlas are DIFFERENT

Nothing speaks louder to the public than what your own customers are saying about you.  We surveyed patients to find out why THEY think we are different than traditional chiropractors.  These comments were lifted directly off of the surveys our patients filled out.   These aren’t testimonials, but rather a compilation of survey results that were anonymous.

The survey questions:
1.  What is different about your RESULTS than your previous chiropractors?
2.  What is different about our STYLE of adjusting than your previous chiropractors?
(Patients who didn’t have any previous chiropractic experience were excluded from the final results).

Pains don’t reoccur the same afternoon after the adjustment
Longer-lasting results post-adjustment
The results are positive and lead to improved posture and relief of symptoms.
Much more gentle–my back actually adjusts vs muscles fighting back as someone hacks on my back.
Results were faster and better than other chiropractors–worked with my entire back, not just the “bad spot” so long lasting changes.
Focus on fixing, not treatment forever; Posture DVD is very instructive.
Here I remain out of pain for over a year and there is genuine concern.  Lasts from month to month.
Not as violent a movement.
Combination of massage and series of treatments results in getting more fundamental improvements in structure, not just easing pains.  Longer lasting, better results.
This actually straightened my spine and the adjustments held.
Tries to move spine backwards so that head, shoulders and hips are aligned.
Never had any lasting good results before.  Never got 1/2 inch of height back before!
Never had adjustment done while standing or the leg and feet adjustments.
My upper back is much looser than previously.  More emphasis on posture here.
The main difference is the long term plan versus sporadic visits when in pain.
The total shape of the spine is different.
ABC™ style–NOT gorilla-at-the-zoo style!  No bone crushing actions.
I actually achieved results!
The neck adjustment—side-ways push rather than twisting.

Attention is paid to the whole patient rather than presenting issues.
This is a total health practice versus an adjustment that focuses only on one adjustment for the point of pain.
More advanced.  Doesn’t just seem to be a “quick fix” but a long-term help.
My adjustments are lasting longer than previous ones with other chiropractors.
I am more aware of my environment and how it impacts my alignment.
Feeling more upright and improvement in neck and spine.
Much better, less invasive and it works.
Much better, did not get any results from last chiropractor.
More consultative.
More noticeable relief from symptoms and longer lasting results.
I am happy with these results.  I cannot remember much about my previous chiropractic experience.
The frontal approach feels less aggressive and stressful.  I prefer this method.
I feel straighter, with little after-effects.
There is more than one way to skin a cat.
Greater flexibility after treatment.
Less soreness after treatment.
If you like traditional chiropractic, I bet you’ll like ABC™ more–because it’s good and different.
Less twisting and pain.
Shoulders have responded like they haven’t before.
Try it, you won’t believe the difference.
It was nice not to be told I have to go three times a week for life.
At previous chiropractor, all the appointments resulted in no change, physical therapy would have been better.
I have had other chiropractic adjustments and with ABC™ I have more energy and feel better physically.
Better results–x-rays prove it.
Seems thorough and focused on comparing to a baseline.
Results change weekly.  Looking at root cause.
So far my pain is lessened and I am working on my granny hump.  No one has ever tried to do that.
It’s weird but it works.

My New 6-Year-Old Wheels!

It’s finally getting warm enough to ride my new 6-year-old bike I got for my birthday!  I can pedal so much easier than on my older bike.  I even learned how to make skid marks by squeezing the brakes fast.  On Mother’s Day, we did our longest bike ride yet through Cherry Creek State Park.  We were almost home and I lost my balance and fell 😦  And the week before at school I fell on my head doing a handstand.  So Mommy gave me two adjustments because my neck was tight and so were my shoulders.  But I’m not afraid to ride my bike.  I learned how to pop off the curb without even falling.  It’s fun being a big 6 year-old!

Love, Sarah-bear
