Balance Wellness and Chiropractic Center

Joined Balance Wellness almost 2 years ago with 3 friends. Two of those dropped out after the first session, then 2 of us asked for refunds before our second session ended. Clients will be greeted with bright smiles, loud chatter and the possibility to buy a lot.

Dr. Scott and his team are very good at what they do. I was completely educated from the beginning and learned a lot about how NUCCA chiropractic is very different from 'traditional' methods and what to expect. Working behind a computer all day, and having broken my neck about 11 years ago, I made the decision to use NUCCA to help address my overall wellness and it's been a great decision.

I am a twenty-seven year old who has been physically “limited” my entire life until I started the NUCCA treatment program at Balance Wellness. That being said, I felt my life was good from childhood through high school: physically, mentally, and emotionally. However, I noticed major changes as I got older, especially through my college years. I did not want to continue my life with the problems I was living with. Listed below are the issues I dealt with.



1) I had difficulty in retaining and recalling information for exams

2) While living alone, I would: eat slightly more; be tired by troubled sleeping (I had dark, puffy circles under my eyes); drink a cup of caffeinated coffee to bring my energy level up; become depressed - did not feel happy; and, I was not as active

3) I noticed a change with my diet. It was what I thought “healthy.” (Low-fat grocery items, diet drinks, no sweets, dried fruits, energy drinks). Basically – believing it was good because of the outside labels and calorie count

4) I could not fully complete critical thinking exercises when in the classroom

5) I easily become distracted and lost the task and could not comprehend very well

6) I had mood swings



I visited a doctor, even a neurologist, but they did not know the answer to my symptoms and suggested medicines.



Other physical problems that I lived with from childhood were - 1. An unbalanced walk and back pain especially in the lower right area. 2. I would stumble as I walked, but I would not fall.



I needed help. I wanted change. I was referred to Balance Wellness “Chiropractic” Center by my aunt who was enrolled in the Weight Loss program. I started the NUCCA adjustment program in October 2010. It has been nearly a year – and to date, I have noticed numerous changes to all of the issues above. With every adjustment I have had, I have felt, and still do, a “euphoric” feeling.



Lower back pain from dog walking, working, and from daily life is gone. My left hip is now loose and more mobile. My hips are aligned as well as my shoulders and elbows.



Physically, I feel my body is in alignment. I feel better. My left arm is straighter, my walking has greatly improved, and my left ankle is more mobile. My legs have more movement.

My initial x-ray showed my head was 2.5 inches off my neck. Presently, it is only slightly off. Also, my spine was shaped like an 'S'; it is now straight. I can function better. My cardiovascular system has improved.



The NUCCA treatments have helped me mentally. My initial scan and those following indicated that my brain function needed major improvement. In July, the update showed change! My thinking, judgment, perception, has all really improved. I can express myself better than I use to. I do not worry quite as much.



Emotionally: I am happier and not as emotional.



Other changes I have noticed: I sleep great. I wakeup rested and with natural energy. The only problem now is that I have to get up. I weaned myself of drinking coffee and energy drinks, and now drink lots of water.



I have a better diet.



I have had so many changes I can not list them all. I will recommend this treatment to anyone! Bypass the medical doctor for meds that "claim" to fix the problem (which slowly damage your organs), and the general Chiropractor that "adjusts the Spine with his hands”. These two professions believe: "The problem lays where it is at; not where it originates - the brainstem and spinal column.” Anyone who wants a better outlook on life, to physically feel better, and to be able to say: "I have a new body and a new life!” NUCCA is your answer.

I have been taking treatments since Feb. of this year. When I started I was having dizzy spells, headaches, shoulder, neck and lower back pain. My balance was not good either. Now I seldom have a headache, my neck and shoulder pain is way down, I no longer have dizzy spells, I have not fell down--so my balance is much better. I don't feel as tired and just have more energy. I actually went to a square dance festival a week ago and danced! Not bad for an old girl in her seventies! Thank you Dr. Gamm.

"The fog has lifted," were the first words I spoke after my first NUCCA adjustment. Well maybe not the first, I think I said, "WOW!" before that. I am 28 and have felt literally like I was always in a fog or trying to walk in water for as long as I can remember. The last four years I have been battling with what was previously diagnosed as Hypothyroidism and Adrenal Fatigue. I had sinus infections in my younger years and quite frequently had days I just didn't feel good. Low energy, low self-esteem, and always in a battle to maintain a healthy weight are just a few of the hills I have been climbing. Here is the thing though, I am very into health and wellness, I even attended school to become a personal trainer. So why was it that with regular exercise, a great diet in comparison to 95% of Americans, and holistic practices was I not getting better? I was out of alignment! When I saw my body scans and x-rays, it opened my eyes to see that I really needed help. I have been under Dr. Gamm's care for 1 month now and I am ecstatic with my results so far. I stopped taking the two thyroid medications I was on after my very first adjustment (seriously), I further improved my diet by reading, "Maximized Living Nutrition Plans" and I also incorporated more yoga into my exercise routine. I feel better than I ever remember feeling my whole life and I am certain that it is from NUCCA. My senses are more and more alive with each adjustment. Dr. Gamm and his staff are great, always greeting me with a smile!

I'm writing this letter to tell you a little bit about myself, how I came to know Dr. Scott Gamm and what Balance Wellness and N.U.C.C.A. Chiropractic have done for me.



For starters, let me introduce myself. My name is Heidi. I live in Canon City, Colorado. I work part-time as a medical transcriptionist, so I sit in front of a computer for quite a few hours at a time. The rest of my time is spent halter breaking 2 mule colts, doing household chores, barnyard chores and hauling firewood via wheelbarrow, just to name a few.



I first met Dr. Gamm through a neighbor of mine who had had chronic neck pain and had finally found relief through her adjustments with Dr. Gamm.



I really did not think I was a candidate for N.U.C.C.A. Chiropractic, but I made an appointment anyway. I was curious about what my x-rays would look like.



When Dr. Gamm went over the test and the x-rays with me, it was clear that my posture was needing some help and my body was in need of some major changes, not to mention my eating habits. My right shoulder was down, and my left should was up. My neck and my shoulders were leaning forward, and my head was tilted to one side. I could see that I needed to make some changes, not only in my posture but my overal health.



Since I started getting adjustments, I noticed that my sinuses have cleared, and I am able to breath easier. I no longer wear Breathe-Rite Strips. My headaches have significantly decreased. I no longer have the mood swings that I used to have, my energy level has increased, and I've lost weight. My right shoulder has come up, so I'm no longer fussing with the straps that were consistently falling off my shoulder. I've been able to stand in one place for a long period of time without any lower back pain. Also, I no longer have an issue with my sliding hiatal hernia. The acid in my stomach has reduced, and I no longer take Prilosec.



I also have seen changes in my x-rays since I first started coming to Dr. Gamm. My neck is not quite as far forward as it was in the initial x-rays, and again my right shoulder that was initially low has come up.



I would like to say thank you to Dr. Scott Gamm and his wife Leeanne and to the Balance Wellness and Chiropractic Center staff.
