About 3 years ago when I was only 19 years old, I herniated a disc in my back while rowing, a sport I loved. I was in intense pain for months and months. I went to all different kinds of doctors and it took over 6 months to find out what the problem even was! Then, the only treatment options they told me were to wait and NOT to exercise! I was miserable for 2 years! I couldnt lift anything heavier than 5 to 10 pounds and could barely bend down enough to touch my toes. I couldnt stand or sit or lie down for long periods of time. I constantly missed work and social activities due to back pain. I couldnt believe I was supposed to spend the rest of my life like this. I was reluctant to try going to a chiropractor because I believed the negative (and uniformed!) stereotypes, but I tried Dr. Russ and I am so glad that I did! I saw improvement within weeks. Now, 7 months later, my back never bothers me! I have started running again and am even going to run a marathon in a few weeks, There is no doubt in my mind this would not have been possible without Dr. Russ! What I like is that Dr. Russ focuses on all aspects of your lifestyle. For example, I am very busy and do not have time to go to a gym, so he helped me develop weight exercises I can do in my home to strengthen my back. I feel like FINALLY after 3 years, I am healthy again and able to do what I want to do without worrying about back pain.

Dr. Russ is very professional. The thing I liked most was that he explained everything in detail before he started the process of adjustments. Most people that Ive seen in the past just start poking and prodding before Im comfortable. I learned a lot about how my spinal cord affects other parts of my body. The specific reason I went in was because of a sinus infection. I was having a good deal of pain back behind my check bones and really throughout the rest of my body. I was so miserable. I didnt know that chiropractic work could help with this type of ailment but at the suggestion of a close friend I went for a consultation. After my consultation I got adjusted and withing 2 hours of leaving I felt 80% better!!!! What a relief. Furthermore, Dr. Russ did a nerve scan and some x-rays which revealed some arthritis in my C3 vertebrae. Without his attention to detail and willingness to spend the proper amount of time to get to the bottom of what was wrong I may have found out about that too late to do anything about it. Thanks to Dr. Dave this can be corrected before it begins to be a larger problem and my sinus infection has vanished! I would recommend this chiropractor to anyone!

I started coming to dr russ after determining I had a back problem. my symptoms were pain in my right kidney area, then after a couple of months, numbness in my right hip and sometimes pain in the groin area. Sitting, at work or driving, was an ordeal, I had to get up frequently and to relieve the pain. I have had kidney stones and at first thought this was the problem, after a couple of x-rays and urine checks by my physician I had no positive evidence of a stone. Then the pain starting to expand to my hip and groin. I was running through pain meds and pain relievers and really just getting temporary relief, but i could still get around and carry on my daily routines. I didnt want to rely on medicine and after by now, negative results on a stone and figuring the radiating pain was nerve related, I started thinking I had a back problem. I looked around on the internet for a chiroprator and decided on dr russ a try. It took a few visits but my pain went away, Praise God, now the challenge for me is to keep it away. So I have no problem recommending Dr Russ and hope he can help you as much as he helped me.

I started coming to see Dr. Russ in late March. I came because I wanted to change my life. I was not able to run a 5k with my daughter in October because my knees were swollen and were in pain every time I attempted to run. I saw myself becoming a puddle of mush once my children grew up and left home. I gave all my spare time to them, my work, my husband, and everyone else. I turned 30 in December and decided I needed to make a change. I chose to eat less and healthier foods. I chose to drink more water and walk everyday. My friend suggested I see Dr. Russ. I went to see Dr. Russ and he helped me focus on the things in my life I can control. He helped me with lower back stiffness and neck stiffness caused by many years of work and school. One weekend I twirked my knee and he helped adjust my fibula which helped it heal within a few days as opposed to the usual few weeks. I also get lots of tips on exercising, which I (a newbie) really appreciate. I can now run a complete 5k and have lost many pant sizes! I have further to go but now I have a plan.

When I first met Dr. Russ, I had significant back pain from a previous injury. Over the period of a year under his care, I went from recovering from back injury to improving numerous other health conditions and improving my nutrition. He has a tremendous focus on holistic care and is extremely knowledgeable in the field of medical care for chronic health conditions. I have seen many doctors in my life for health conditions, and in all my years Dr. Russ has done more in one year for my health than all other doctors combined. My previous doctors medicated my symptoms, while Dr. Russ has helped me eliminate the problems themselves. 10/09/13 After seeing Dr Russ as a patient for over a year now, I have gone on to recommend my wife, a work colleague, and my own children to him for adjustments. Everyone continues to find him very helpful. It takes a great trust for me to allow someone to adjust my children, but he was able to help my own son with sleep problems in a way that continues to impress and amaze me. An excellent care provider.

In late 2016, I started feeling that my neck and low back had become rigid again, probably because I had actually stopped my chiropractic treatment for quite a while. In December 2016, I came back to see Dr. Russ again although he is still out of our insurance network. Yes, I did try other doctors but what I can tell is that not all doctors are the same, including the way they treat their patients. Because of arthritis in my neck and low back which Dr. Russ identified, my expectations for condition improvements was not very high, however, there is no doubt that after each treatment I feel a great relief in these two problematic areas. Dr. Russ is easy to communicate with and the language he uses is always easy to understand. My experience with him is pleasant and I think he is very considerate. This is one of the most important reasons I came back to Dr. Russ although I need to spend more compared with using an in-network doctor.
