Relief for Neck Pain

by

Neck adjustmentPeople generally think of chiropractors when a car injury has lead to whiplash.  But there are various causes for neck pain, and Dr. Altman can provide relief for just about all of them!  Luckily, he also understands that if you have never been to a chiropractor before, the idea of someone twisting and turning an already sore neck can be really scary and intimidating.  So the Doc will orient to help them understand what he is what is about to do and why it helps.  With his good sense of humor and gentle touch, he has a real talent for helping patients in acute pain.  At least that’s what his patients say:

Back Pain & Injuries

by

Back painLike all chiropractors, Dr. Altman studied the human spine extensively.  For this reason, many patients come to him with back pains.  The Doc takes a compassionate and consistent approach to alleviating the pain and then fixing the cause of this pain.  One of the things that sets him apart from many colleagues, is that he believes he has a moral obligation teach patients how to maintain their health post-treatment.  Keeping you out of his office doesn’t always make business sense, but it is the right thing to do!  According to Garen, here is how the Doc helped him feel good again:

Derek’s Story

Derek is a trainer at ClimbMax Climbing Gym in Tempe, AZ

I have visited Dr. Altman several times for shoulder dislocations. I am a big outdoor enthusiast. I work at rock climbing gym and I also climb on my free time so my shoulder has to be in top condition. Like climbing I also ride bmx so that also requires my shoulder to be in good shape. Basically everything I do I need my shoulders to be in tip top shape and when they dislocate I go to Dr. Altman without even thinking twice. He always gets the shoulder to relocate first visit and with his exercises i am back to riding, climbing, turning wrenches on cars. I highly recommend Dr. Altman for any type of work that you need done.

Alexa’s Story

by

Alexa's storyI’ve gone to many chiropractors over the course of my life. I’ve gotten whiplash three times – I think a magical “hit me” sign appears behind every car I ride in! Now I have fibromyalgia, which some experts say may be triggered by the accidents. This condition has so many complications that I blame any aches and pains I get on it. Over the years, I’ve gone to 8 or 9 chiropractors (we move a lot). Dr. Altman is one of the very best.

I saw dr A with pain in my back and my right leg after 3 visits he highly recommended I get a MRI , he also recommended a neurosurgeon to review the MRI, after the dr looked at the images he had me in for emergency surgery the next day. There was a cyst pressing against the main never in my back that had me in unbearable pain, unable to bend and almost couldn’t walk. The surgery took about a hour , immediately after waking up, I had NO PAiN and was able to walk . I now feel like a new person! Thank you Dr. Altman !

Dr. Altman is a very knowledgeable, in-depth and technically precise chiropractor! I was suffering with pain and an extreme headache when I walked into his office. I left knowing and feeling that I was well on my way to feeling better. I will be back! He is my new chiropractor!

Dr. Altman is just fantastic! I had been dragging my feet about coming in because I thought it wasn't so bad. After an exam and adjustment I realized how much pain I was really in! He has improved my quality of life and did it with an awesome sense of humor! I will be recommending for sure!

Absolutely amazing. Incredibly knowledgeable and an absolute life saver. Dr Altman explains everything every step of the way during treatment. Dr Altman is incredibly knowledgeable about treatment needed after car accident. I didn’t realize that the slightest wrong turn would hurt so bad. Dr Altman has an extensive knowledge of exactly what happens to the body during impact. He is all around amazing and has followed the healing process attentively. I highly recommend him, especially if you have been in a motor vehicle accident.

My husband, Al was in such pain when I called. Dr. Altman immediately made an appt to see as soon as we could get there. He did a thorough examine and some adjustments but wanted to be certain, he sent my husband to a physician and for x rays. Then that night he went over and above by calling to see how he was doing. After just a few visits my husband is doing s much better. Another positive is how punctual his appts are. Highly recommend Dr Altman

I’ve been going to Dr. Altman for 3 years now. I can say I’d highly recommend him. He is a very easy going guy and keeps a really clean office. I feel real comfortable at his office because I can talk to him about anything and bonus points he has an incredible fun loving dog their as well. I am an extremely active person and he helps me keep living that lifestyle with each session.

I highly recommend Dr. Altman. He is knowledgeable and not afraid to think outside the box to get you the help you need. He has been a lifesaver for me. He truly makes his patients a priority. His concern is real and heartfelt and can been seen in how he treats each of his patients as if they were his only patient. Thank you Dr. Altman for all you do!

Dr. Altman was great! My husband and I had just finished a very bouncy jeep tour in Sedona and felt like we had been run over by mac trucks several times. We hurt all over, and my husband has had back issues in the past so his back was tightening up pretty badly. Dr. Altman took us immediately. He was very thorough, did a diagnostic exam first, and then went to work on adjusting us. His sweet therapy dog, Sydney, helped us to relax by allowing us to pet her while she sat under the table during the adjustments. Since I have a hard time relaxing, she was a blessing for me. By the time Dr. Altman was finished, we both felt pretty good and that made the rest of our trip much better! Dr. Altman is very good at what he does and if we lived closer to him, we would be regular patients I am sure! Thanks Doc!

There are a lot of good doctors out there and they know their business. But this one doctor stands out above the rest as he goes above and beyond. His gentle touch and calm demeanor gives him the touch of a true master when it comes to healing. I was overwhelmed by his medical background that goes beyond his chiropractic knowledge. He is very effective when it comes to dealing with pain without using pain killers. I felt much better after his treatments.When I was under Dr Altmans care I suffered a temporary disabling medical emergency at home which I brushed off as being stress induced pain. It was later discovered that I suffered a heart condition that could have taken my life and I believe I am still alive due to Dr. Altman insistence that I see cardiologist. I look at upon him as a miracle worker.

Dr. Altman is easy to get a hold of and make appointments with. He doesn't mind if you text him. He explains the issue you have to help you understand how to prevent it from happening again. His office is comfortable and his dog is sweet and not pushy for pets. I'd recommend him for kids and adults.

Doc has been caring for my crazy body since early 2014. I have three artificial joints (both hips and a knee) and four vertebra fused in my neck, for starters, so I'm a bit complex to treat. Before making any adjustments, he ordered 12 x-rays, as a good chiropractor would do. He is extremely knowledgeable and takes the time to do what needs doing while explaining to the patient. I wouldn't be upright and walking without his help. He is also a very caring and wonderful person. Five stars without a doubt!
