FINDING WELLNESS IN A TOWN FULL OF OPTIONS!

 Every once in awhile you stumble upon a gem and every once in awhile this gem is life changing!  I have found mine!  Metro Health Services here in Colorado Springs.  I have been experiencing major pain in my shoulder, back and chest.  Scared, I went to a cardiologist and spent thousands only to find out that I have a very healthy heart.  Happy as I was, I still hurt! 

I knew that in this town there are many amazing choices for wellness care, (having the Olympic Training Center here has given us so many “best of the best” options).  As I entered Metro Health Services, I knew that this was going to be more than a “crack and whack” session with a chiropractor.  I had so many tests run and consultations that I knew they were going to help me.  I was right, they assessed me and explained it me in a way that I could understand and not only did is make sense, but it is working.  No heart issues for me.  Simply put, muscles that are not properly working and a back that is “crooked” and all are affecting my nerves and muscles.

I worked with Dr. Rocco and have appointments booked already!  I have been to many doctors in this field, but this is one that has and will make a difference in my life.  I felt like they incorporated the entire picture, not only my current symptoms.  Their goal is to affect my life, not just treat pain.  Treating a symptom is not the same as finding a cure.

If you are uncomfortable, in pain or just want an evaluation, these are honestly the guys for you!
