Dimond Chiropractic Center

I have had a history of back problems for years. I first consulted family doctors for the pain and recieved pain medicines and instructions to rest. Eventually, I was referred to an orthopedic surgeon who ordered an MRI of my back which showed a bulging disc. This caused me to receive three cortisone injections in my spine. The first injection did nothing. The second might have helped slightly for a day or two, and the third injection made me worse and caused me to develop pain in my leg. I was then told that I needed surgery or that I would have to learn to live with the pain. While visiting Anchorage I was foolish enough to let my brother-in-law talk me into helping him lift one end of a snowmobile on to a trailer. I immediately experienced the worst pain of my life. I had back spasms and could not stand. My legs just would not support me. The neighbors suggested that I see their Chiropractor, Dr. Mark Barbee. As bad as the pain was, I was not ready to have more injections in my spine and I was not ready to pull the trigger on a back surgery. So, I decided to roll the dice with this Dr. Barbee and was loaded into the back of a pick-up truck and driven to his office. To be honest, I was not exactly the best patient, but Dr. Barbee seemed to know precisely what my problem was and how to go about helping me. After my first visit, I was still in pain but I was able to walk out of the office, which actually surprised me. I stayed in town for more treatment and after my second treatment I felt 60 percent better. By the end of the week I felt better than I had in almost two years! Dr. Barbee was simply fantastic! Before I returned home Dr. Barbee set me up with a Chiropractor close to my home and coordinated the treatment so that I could maintain my results. I am happy to report that I continue to be essentially pain-free! Thank you, Dr. Barbee. If I ever have another bad pain problem, I know who to call first

I have been to a lot of Chiropractors over the years and Dr.Barbee is the best adjuster I have seen. He really has "the touch" and is extremely knowledgeable, not just about Chiropractic but he seems to know more about general medical topics than my G.P.
