My Experience at Green Life Chiropractic & Wellness has been extremely positive. I’ve been seeing Dr. Mary Beth and Dr. Green for well over a year and my overall health and well-being is 100 % improved with regular adjustments and treatments. The Greens are professional, kind and seriously interested in helping people. I was in a very bad automobile accident 5 years ago. I was in an escalating downward spiral of traditional pain treatment and physical therapy. I knew in my heart there was something or someone who could help me; I just didn’t know where to turn. I desperately needed a different set of eyes on my health. Prior doctors had all but given up on possible ways to treat my chronic pain which was ruining my life. I was depressed, emotionally distraught, immobile, and gaining weight at new levels. I could walk with a cane, but it was often too painful so I remained in a wheelchair most of the time. I decided to try chiropractic and the Green Life Chiropractic doctors and staff immediately appealed to me. I could tell right away I wanted to work with this team of dedicated doctors. I was delighted with the initial results of an x-ray evaluation and subsequent consultation outlining a plan of action based on pure scientific input. The x-rays showed my left leg shorter than the right leg. My left leg was crushed in the accident and contained titanium rods, coils and pins. My pelvis was fractured in four places. What so amazed me was not one of the dozens of prior practitioners, whether surgeons, physical therapists, or specialized medical professionals noticed that the excruciating pain I lived with on a daily basis may have been exacerbated by the discrepancy in leg length. Dr. Mary Beth suggested a corrective “lift” in my left shoe to even out my pelvis and scoliosis. As a result, the pain diminished by over 80%. Wow! The follow-up x-rays showed an almost perfect alignment of my pelvis and spinal column. Now I walk everywhere without a cane. The Green’s created a miracle for me! I have nothing but gratitude for their work. That was the first huge improvement. Then I decided on a course of regular adjustments at Green Life which also included traction, exercises, and compression boots. I became more aware of how much a good vertebral alignment affects my happiness. I received ongoing education and guidance on how I could improve my overall health. I just feel so much better when my spine moves freely, resulting in the rest of my body moving better. My chronic neck and back pain are all but gone. That was a real eye-opener. The purely functional approach to chiropractic wellness based on evidence and knowledge really works for me. Everything the Greens do is based on a system of functionality. Because I have a “drop foot” Dr. Green will also, on occasion “work out” the bones in my feet and knees. I usually walk out of the office feeling like I’m walking on air. Lately, Dr. Green has found me appliances and foot braces that are specific to my needs to help me improve my mobility. Lastly, it was suggested that if I lost some weight, my knees and legs, as well as overall health would benefit. I tried their Paleo weight loss approach and I did lose about 12 lbs. My knees don’t hurt anymore and it’s easier for me to walk. Apparently my adjustments “take” better with less body inflammation and fat weight. Not only has the weight loss improved my mood and self-esteem, the reduction in inflammation has reduced my pain. This, as well, is a huge positive outcome as a result of seeing the doctors at Green Life Chiropractic & Wellness. I very highly recommend Dr.’s Mary Beth and Green. They are the best!

I cannot recommend Green Life Chiropractic enough! The whole team is key to improving your quality of life and health. I am a very physically active person, both with my work and personal life, and my body has started to show signs of constant use and not enough care. Ive played volleyball for almost 2 decades now, usually playing several times a week. I love playing, most of all hitting and serving overhand. Almost 2 years ago, I started experiencing pain and weakness when serving and hitting, something Id never felt before, to the point that I could no longer serve overhand because I didnt have the strength and couldnt even hit with my right hand because it was so painful. I started serving underhand and learned how to hit with my left hand because Im too stubborn to stop playing all together, but its not at all the same playing with your non-dominant hand! I thought the pain and weakness would eventually go away if I gave it a break, but unfortunately thats not what happens when youve done as much damage to your shoulder as I had. I went to Green Life Chriropractic because of a promotion they were offering and knew I had some tension in my neck I thought they could help with. I honestly never thought a chiropractor could help me with my shoulder, but thankfully I was so wrong! Green Life offers more that just chriopractic adjustments. They assess any issues/discomforts you are having and immediately come up with an incredibly thorough game plan to address the source of the pain and how best to remediate it. In addition to receiving chiropractic adjustments, Ive also been receiving the most thorough physical therapy Ive ever had. Im still a work in progress, but weve already made great improvements to my shoulder. In the last two weeks Ive been able to hit with power again, which I havent been able to do in almost 2 years now, and man does it feel good! I am now fully committed to getting my shoulder back to full health and then maintaining it indefinitely so that I can continue to live the active life I love to the fullest. As if their healing powers werent enough, its also a great team of professionals who really care about you and how youre feeling. I have gotten to know the entire staff very well now, and they are the friendliest, most efficient and competent, positive group of professionals you could hope to have helping you. Weve all got something not operating quite as wed like with our bodies, so I strongly suggest going to see Green Life Chiropractic to help you be the best you!

Im normally extremely active but this excruciating pain hit me one day and I pretty much felt like I was dying--I could not move. I thought some rest would relieve the pain but nothing improved. I finally decided to make the appointment. Ive never been to a chiropractor so I really did not know what to expect. However, both Dr. Green and Dr. Steele are warm and welcoming. Both doctors interact with other clients with warmth and familiarity. Dr. Green was upbeat and energetic while he attended to several other clients. They have an open area setting that could be a bit off putting for private-type folks. You do see other clients and can be seen by others while you are in "treatment." Theres a good vibe throughout -- the clients are smiling and friendly, a variety of musical artists playing overhead, and happy chatter abounds. They do have a private consultation room for closed door private consultations and encourage exchange and confidences. Thats also where the X-Rays are done. I consulted with Dr. Green regarding my pain and he took the time to ask questions about the situation, listened and summarized well. He did a visual analysis of my standing and sitting postures and saw that the pain was causing me to favor one side and putting additional strain on my spine. He was excellent about explaining the source of pain, how posture improvement would relieve the pain, examining my desk work area to determine if it could be a contributing factor to my symptoms (It was), and his recommendations for the treatment procedure to relieve existing pain and prevent future pain. I had expected a manual approach for an "adjustment" but he wanted to relieve the pain due to a pinched nerve in my neck first. I was lead to a modernized medieval stretching contraption that he referred to as a decompression machine. It was comfortable and hardly noticeable as it slowly "stretched" the neck area. It was amazingly effective that first treatment. I could immediately feel prior symptoms relieved and felt much better. Follow up visits included increasing my time on the decompression machine and manual adjustments. The combined approach not only relieved my immediate symptoms but made me review all aspects of my daily surroundings to improve them for more comfort, and pay more attention to my posture, reading and how I hold my iPhone to put less pressure on my neck. Im a raving fan and so happy that my pain was naturally relieved and felt so good in the process.
