This review is long overdue, but I honestly feel it means more now than it would have right after treatment. Being able to speak from six months out, and now being almost completely recovered, says so much more about how effective Dr. Chris and Sandi truly are.When I found Optimal Health, I was in one of the darkest places of my life. I was severely depressed, in excruciating pain, and truly felt like my life as I knew it was over. For nine months I had been dealing with a herniated disc at L5/S1 and had tried everything I could to avoid surgery. I had done physical therapy, adhesion release therapy, ozone injections, MRIs, and more. Nothing was helping. The answer everywhere I turned was starting to sound like surgery, and that was something I desperately did not want.By that point, I was sleeping maybe 45 minutes at best a night. I was crying regularly from the pain. I couldn’t sit upright in a car, on a plane, or in a regular chair. I couldn’t walk for more than five minutes without being in agonizing pain. I ended up in the ER two days in a row, and on the second day I walked in literally bawling my eyes out. I was desperate and felt like I had run out of options.That was when I called Optimal Health.Sandi answered the phone, and I will never forget what she said. She told me not to walk into the hospital and to trust her, and to come try them first. I took that chance because at that point I had absolutely nothing to lose and everything to gain if they could get me even 50% better.I am so grateful I listened.At Optimal Health, I did the decompression laser, Dr. Chris adjusted me, and I rested in the office with red light treatment. I came back again the next day for another adjustment before having to leave town, since I no longer live in Las Vegas and was only visiting when I found them.I felt relief the very first night. The second night was even better, and for the first time in nine months, I actually slept. That alone felt like a miracle. I then traveled back across the country and was able to sit in the vehicle comfortably, something I had not been able to do before. From there, little by little, my back kept improving.Now here I am six months later, and I have my life back.I am still careful, especially with lifting, and I respect that my back is still healing, but almost everything else has gone back to normal. After the level of pain I was living in, that is something I do not take for granted for one second.Dr. Chris and Sandi quite literally changed my life. They helped me avoid surgery when I truly believed I had no other choice left. Beyond that, they gave me hope when I had none. Dr. Chris is incredibly knowledgeable, and you can tell he genuinely cares. When he shared that he had gone through back issues himself at a young age and that it inspired him to help others, it all made sense. You can absolutely feel that purpose when you walk into their office. They created a place that truly feels centered around helping people heal.Sandi was also amazing from the very first phone call. Her compassion, confidence, and urgency to help me in that moment meant more than words can say.I will continue trusting only Dr. Chris and Sandi with my back care moving forward, and when I return to Las Vegas I absolutely plan to continue a routine with them to maintain my back health.I recommend them constantly, and I would absolutely recommend them to anyone dealing with back pain or feeling like they are out of options. Please give them a try.Thank you both again for everything. Words truly are not enough!!! 🙏🙏🙏💗
