Longmont Spine and Physical Medicine

Total scam. This place is a joke. The right hand doesn’t know what the left hand is doing in there, which delays getting real, quality treatment. They won’t give an explanation of what your treatment plan should be and then rack up thousands of dollars bills and ridiculous charges. Their sorry excuse for «physical therapy» is some guy having you stand/​sit/​lean against a vibrating Power Plate with some dingy plastic stretching bands while he talks sports or fishing with the guy on the next machine, or flirts with the medical assistants. Heaven forbid if he actually paid attention to what you are doing to make sure the «therapy exercises» are being done right for what it’s supposed to be helping. Sounds like $ 100 well spent for that 10 minutes of quality, right!?!
They charge for things that didn’t happen & for charge for YOU to fill out a ‘questionnaire’ on how you’re feeling/​doing. Seriously!!! Did I mention this place is a joke? I have no clue how the Better Business Bureau hasn’t investigated them yet.
I could go on and on about the ridiculousness of this practice, but I will leave it as this… I wouldn’t send my worst enemy there and feel sorry for all the people being dooped by these unethical snake oil salesmen. I’ve been to other chiropractors over the last 20 years and have never been so disgusted. DO NOT be fooled.

Another fantastic day at longmont spine! Lulu feeling much better after today’s treatment! I can hardly wait for my treatment in 2 weeks!!!

These doctors will charge you WAY too much money for horrible treatment. They have too many patients, spend too little time with them and if you don’t fit into the mold of what they think the ideal case is, they will not give you the best care. I went for a few months and had NO change. They insisted it was because I wasn’t following their treatment plan. I switched to a more affordable doctor who actually listened to me. Now I’m pain free. Maybe it works for some, but I don’t suggest them.

I use Longmont Spine Center for their Ideal Protein diet program and cannot speak to their chiropractic abilities. But I cannot recommend the Ideal Protein protocol highly enough, and LSC provides great support along the way.
I started in early August of 2012 and have lost 85 pounds (from 252 to 167) so far as of this writing (June 24 2013) with their help. Last year, my doctor told me I’d have a hard time securing life insurance because of my blood work, but at this year’s physical all my blood work was in the «optimal» category.
Doctor Joseph and his staff are upbeat, enthusiastic and incredibly supportive. I do my weekly weigh-​in with Jen, who is an incredible asset to the LSC team.
The program itself is pretty expensive, but you get what you pay for. And it’s not as expensive here as it is at some other places. I have had friends who tried Ideal Protein at other facilities and felt like they were constantly being squeezed for more money. That is not the case at LSC. I have never felt like I was being sold to or swindled in any way. I have paid for the support and guidance and the product, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.
The Longmont Spine Center has changed my life for the better in immeasurable ways. I would recommend it to anyone.

I went here because I had been diagnosed with carpal tunnel 7 years ago. Previously I had relief from my carpal tunnel syndrome through PT. in January I began to have CTS issues again and could not longer sleep at night. I had an evaluation done by Longmont spine center and was told the numbness in my hands was not from CTS and was caused by an issue in my spine. They recommended a $ 3700 treatment plan. I decided I needed a second opinion before that type of financial commitment. So I went to a neurologist in the area, who performed nerve condition tests (which was not done at Longmont spine) and the test results showed that I need CTS surgery on both hands. So now I’m going to have surgery, for a condition I informed the doctor I had previously, but he chose to ignore that and tried to sign me up for an unnecessary treatment plan. Glad I didn’t spend $ 3700 only to spend more money getting proper treatment which in my case is surgery.

I went to the Longmont Spine Center as a last resort. I had been living with chronic lower back pain for over 2 years and was told by my neurosurgeon that I had Spondylolisthesis, a condition in which a bone (vertebra) in the lower part of the spine slips forward and onto a bone below it. My disks on either side of the spondy were ruined. The neurosurgeon said that surgery would be risky and that I should wait until I couldn’t live with the pain before attempting it. He suggested I try a Chiropractor for pain relief. I went to a couple of Chiropractors in the area and felt like it was a waste of money. Getting adjusted did not help me. The chiropractors I spoke to couldn’t offer any credible explanation of how they could fix my problem. I had pretty much given up when someone I knew recommended the Longmont Spine Center. They told me that the doctors there had a unique practice that went way beyond adjustments, and that their approach fixed problems permanently. OK, I thought, I’ll give it one more try…
I’m not sure I can adequately convey the incredible experience I had with the Doctors at the Longmont Spine Center. They practice a method called CBP, where they use repetitive traction to correct your spinal curve to meet what an ideal spine should be (or as close as possible). If the curve isn’t right throughout the spine, then it is not properly functioning and all kinds of problems result. Drs. O’Dell and Joseph told me my condition was a difficult one, but they felt the could help. The even showed me a case study with the before /​after X-​rays from someone who had a similar problem. I went through the treatment protocol they prescribed and sure enough I got better! Not only did my symptoms get better, but they showed me the «after» x-​rays and I can see exactly why I am better. The vertebra that was slipped forward is pulled back in line (almost) and my spinal curve is significantly better. I have been pain free for 3 years now with no sign of getting worse again. I have been doing all the activities I had given up and I feel years younger!
To be clear, this treatment is not a quick easy fix. This is not the typical Chiropractic treatment. It is a totally different approach to any I have seen at other chiropractors. In my case, it took a lot of visits with repetitive traction, but it was well worth it. During my treatment, I also met many others with various problems who had a similar experience. These doctors can really help you if you are willing to commit the time and effort. It takes work on your part, and it doesn’t happen overnight, but it sure beats surgery or living in pain. I highly recommend this Chiropractic center. It will change your life.

Do not recommend. These guys are expensive. I switched chiropractors and was able to make it more affordable (and got some better results to boot).
Haven’t tried the massage therapy, so I can’t speak to that. But otherwise, it’s not worth the price.
