Back Pain

My pain and discomfort most interfered with my sleep and the distance I could ride in the car. Pain meds were the only thing that helped - I was so sick of taking medicine!! I feel as though the adjustments have really helped with my back. I still have some discomfort but nothing like before coming in. It's the first time in about 2 years that I can actually stand someone touching my lower back. It doesn't hurt as bad to sit down. The staff is amazing and so genuine. From the time I walked

After my first appointment with Dr. Steffins, I got the answers to what was causing the pain. Finally it seemed like I had met a doctor who knew exactly what was going on and how to help me. The adjustments coupled with the therapy they did with me was exactly what I needed. Now I can do all of the things I couldn't do before and have the freedom to do as I please. Dr. Steffins put an end to months of pain and frustration. It is refreshing to go into an office where the doctor and his staff tr

I battled with low back pain for years without ever getting any type of relief. I was seeing another chiropractor and would get regular adjustments, but the pain would always come back sooner rather than later. I got to a point where I was in constant pain and the pain seemed to be getting worse. The pain was making my usual work much more difficult and I couldn't even enjoy playing with my son anymore, such as going on walks or going on bike rides. I couldn't concentrate on anything other t

I had suffered for years with back pain, trying every chiropractor I came across. I had bought every back pain device on the market. I was in so much pain that my family life was suffering. I couldn't stand or walk for any length of time. I couldn't shower without help, I had to dress sitting down and I was always grouchy. I had tried everything to get relief. The pain was so intense and so constant that I was considering surgery just to get some relief. The first thing I noticed about Spina

Two years ago I started having trouble with low back pain. Over the course of those two years, I lost 60 pounds and had very little energy. My medical doctor determined that I was having some sort of thyroid issue, and therefore put me on a daily thyroid supplement. This helped with some issues but not my back pain, which caused serious pain when I stood up. When I tried to stand up, it would take a minute or so just to be able to stand completely straight. The only way I could get any relief wa

The adjustments have certainly been instrumental in my recovery, but I feel the core strengthening exercises and have been very important as well. I feel much stronger now and have a much more positive outlook on life now. The fear of being disabled is gone now- I found help before the wheelchair! As a healthcare professional, I have told my family and friends that there is necessity in traditional medicine along with holistic medicine, such as chiropractic treatments as well.

The adjustments and stretching Dr. Steffins prescribed for me have helped relieve the pain. I have learned techniques to help me at home when I feel my back start to stiffen up. This is the first time in several years that I can pick something up or even get out of the shower without any pain at all. I do not take ibuprofen at all anymore… No need for it!! The pain is gone. The staff is so professional and listened to what I said. They met a need and helped me learn techniques to use at home.

On Good Friday, I pulled something in my lower back and left hip when lifting from on my knees. My pain was ranging from an 8 to a 10 at most times during all hours of the day and night. For 3 painful weeks, I had little to no sleep and was unable to find comfort in any position (standing, sitting or lying down). Work was barely possible and over the counter pain medications only seemed to dull the pain for a brief period of time. I visited another chiropractic clinic and was not helped at all w

It seemed like the help that I needed. With each visit, I was consistently feeling and getting better. I have very little to no pain now and the only times I really feel pain is when I overexert myself. I can now bend over to pick things up from the floor and have been able to get back to doing yard work and all of my other chores sound my house. Dr. Steffins and all of his staff are great. I wish I would have known that this was an option long ago.

To put it quite simply, I believe Dr. Steffins is the best chiropractor in the U.S. Having lived on both coasts and in all four time zones, I have received chiropractic care all across the country. Only now have I felt completely comfortable and completely trusting with a chiropractor. Dr. Steffins has a God-given gift in the healing hands he has entrusted him with. Thank you Dr. Steffins for working out the kinks!

Wearing the orthotics, which were prescribed by Dr. Steffins, my back doesn't hurt and I feel like I can stand straight and tall. I have since gotten a body pillow, which was also recommended by Dr. Steffins, to help me sleep better at night. The treatment I received was well worth it. The staff is very kind, courteous and are very experienced working with others. I would highly recommend this particular staff and of course Dr. Steffins to everyone who is having spinal problems. Thanks guys fo

The pain I had been experiencing in my neck was somewhat tolerable, but very irritable. I had little movement in my neck and had constant pain in both of my hips. I had not been able to sleep well at all since the pain started and it was difficult to even walk from place to place. I took pain medications which seemed to help at times, but not for long term. The adjustments and exercises really seemed to help. Since my last visit, I have had no pain and I feel wonderful. I am able to exercise and

Prior to seeing Dr. Steffins I had 2 back surgeries. Last one being march of 2016. By summer of 2018 I was started to get mild to moderate pain in my back again. Wanting to avoid your typical pain doctor, taking painkillers, and a potential surgery i wasn't looking to have. I looked for an alternative.After speaking with family and friends. I was recommend by a majority of them to seek out chiropractic care. Most of them either seeing/seen Dr. Steffins, or knew someone who has. After about 10 +/years

For many years I have been going to Dr. Dan Steffins and his very capable staff. I have Degenerative disc disease and often have severe pain in my neck and lower back. Thanks to his chiropractic methods I get relief and can continue to live a productive, very active, life-style. Several years ago I had back surgery by well-known neurosurgeon, Dr. Anil Nanda. He told me to continue to use Dr. Dan because of his chiropractic methods. Dr. Dan has always been compassionate, trustworthy and professional

...As the visits continued, I was able to more and more. Until 9/3/2019 when I was involved in auto accident (was rear ended at 50-60 MPH). After the accident I was having back pain again. I waited until the day after the accident to see if felt better, and I did not. So I made an appointment with Dr. Steffins. Since then I have completed 8 of the 12 recommend visits, and am just about back to the condition I was prior to the accident. After the recommended 12 treatments I no doubt that I will be at

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and have been suffering from ongoing issues for almost thirty years. I had taken muscle relaxers, pain medications, steroid shots and antibiotics for all of the issues I had been having throughout the years, but these things only gave me temporary relief and certainly did not help me health-wise. I had used many different chiropractors throughout the years and all had different techniques and methods. I had to see them on consistent and frequent visits.

I used to have headaches every single day of my life, and now they are a lot less frequent and much less painful. My mobility is extremely better and I also feel like doing extra activities that I found myself avoiding before. Every one of the staff is awesome and extremely nice and friendly. Dr. Steffins is great! He really listens to what you say and he's not afraid to change things up to fit your needs.
