Despite all of the negative stories I have heard about chiropractors, I decided to give The Health Source a chance and have them check out my lower back pain. I have been experiencing lower back pain since I was in my teens. Dr. Drew suggested we perform an X-ray to see what may need to be adjusted. He asked if i had any previous spinal injuries and I shared a few. I also shared a few things that doctors had mentioned to me over the years; all of which were very consistent. He then chuckled and said "Doctors are idiots when it comes to this..." This was not a comment I would have expected to come out of a "professionals" mouth. After an X-Ray I was quickly told that I have degenerative disks (his attitude when he was giving me this information was over dramatic and was very overbearing) and that I would need to come back 3-4 times per week for the next 5 or 6 months. He then followed up with, we could dial down the number of weekly visits over time, but i would need to come back for years to come. Or else my back would go right back to how it was. It seemed as though he was trying to frighten me into coming back for all of the suggested visits. He went as far as saying things such as; do you want to be an old man with a crooked spine? or be old and all slumped over? all while holding a model of a spine segment and moving it around as it it was on a slick surface. Now, Im not sure about anybody else, but thats quite a bit of money to spend per week for 6 months on a chiropractor. So, not knowing any better; I came back for 3 sessions and found the massages enjoyable, but I could not stand the snarky attitude of Dr. Drew. I then decided to get a second opinion from Tulsa Bone and Joint. They took another set of X-Rays and did not see anything immediately wrong and did not seem to think this was anything like Dr. Drew has said to me. They asked if i wanted to have an MRI done to check the quality of my disks, and out of curiosity (and wanting to get to the bottom of this) I said yes. After the spinal doctors at Tulsa Bone and Joint reviewed my MRI results, I was shown and told that the quality of my disks for a man of my age are perfect. They were also able to pinpoint the cause of my lower back pain; which turns out was from an under developed vertebrae in my lower back. To sum it all up, I will NEVER be going back to The Health Source and I strongly discourage anybody else from going there as well. If I had not have gone to a real spinal doctor, I would have ended up wasting thousands of dollars on treatment for a degenerative disk condition that I do not have.

My father has always been a big guy, when I was about 13 he was diagnosed with Degenerative Disk Disorder where his vertebras were litterly dissolving. Over time, and about 13 back surgeries later, he became fully disabled and barely left the house. He always struggled with his weight and in the end had given up. He passed a way a little over a year ago at the age of 57. In January of this year, my back went out. It was the most painful thing ever. Only after visits at Healthsource for treatments and seeing an orthopedic surgeon, I found out that I have a narrow spinal chord (like dads), arthritis (like dads) degeneration (like dads) and a pretty nasty disk bulge (like dads). That was it. That was the final blow for me to loose weight. Im 32, married for 7 years to my best friend, and recently the father of a wonderful and VERY active 2 year old that we adopted at birth. It was time to make a change, not just for me, but for my family. While receiving treatments at Healthsource for my lower back (which is amazingly better), I notice a lot of talk about a weight loss program. Now I had tried just about every fad in the book, from weight watchers to Akins, and I would lose weight, but over time I would just pack it back on. The main reason for this I believe is that I never really understood WHAT I was putting in my body. I would just count points, eat frozen high processed meals and loose a little and spend a fortune. At that point, I knew more about the gas in my engine, than the enzymes in my bloodstream. The weekly classes, BRDs, working out, and just learning HOW to eat have shown me to loose over 40 lbs! And this is just the beginning. I have always been a big guy, so my goal weight I set for my self at first seemed kinda high at 100lbs, but after going this good, I KNOW Im going to achieve it, and even go farther. One of the most important things of all? I AM NOT HUNGRY. I am not starving or craving every little piece of chocolate, ice cream and fast food that Ive always craved. Ive learned to train my body to do what it should, eat what it should and react as it should. My body is my temple and it was given to me to take care of. For most of my life, Ive failed that mission. But with Healthsource guiding light, I am going to kick this body into shape and make it the one that God meant for it to be since I was born. I am on my way. Join me, its a wonderful journey. Hopefully yours, Evan Taylor

These people are the very best at what they do and the staff is great to work with. I have had issues with my lower back and neck for years that only regular adjustments and exercise can alleviate. The atmosphere, treatment and information at Healthsource is fantastic. Dr. Drew is very knowledgeable and focuses on your long-term skeletal health without drugs and surgery if possible. I have had many naysayer friends who would "never" go to a chiropractor find relief with Healthsource. Anyone can do the research and find a direct correlation from skeletal to nerves and proper organ function. Proper health maintenance includes bone health just as you would tend to your muscles, organs, eyes and teeth. A persons health history and that of their immediate family is used by all physicians to provide preventive care. Women in particular are subject to osteoporosis, computer & desk workers are subject to carpal tunnel, improper neck alignment and pain, etc. I have injuries that do not require surgery but do require maintenance relief from stiffness, tight muscles, pinched nerves, etc. An MD/DO only offers muscle relaxants, but Healthsource offers me long-term relief, exercises and a plan. Dr. Drew Lawrence is the best chiropractor Ive ever been to. He and his team make coming to his office enjoyable and I look forward to my appointments. You get an annual checkup for your teeth and eyes, why not for your spine?

I spent a great deal of money, over $2,000.00 for treatment for saggy skin upper and lower arms and fat above and below the bra area. I also spent WEEKS, DAYS, HOURS going over for treatments and after paying for MORE treatments cause the number of treatments originally suggested didnt get rid of the problems, I paid for additional treatments in hopes to get the results I was looking for. I NEVER got any results that are noticeable. They werent one bit interested in my being happy. I wish I had ALL the money back I paid for these treatments and go to a place where I could have results.They use and answering service 85% of the time, so you never talk to an employee in the ofc. Their lipo machine broke down on one treatment so they used the "older" one for a treatment. I wouldnt and couldnt recommend their ofc to anyone for a procedure. Please go elsewhere. I rated this a one but it deserves a negative rating.
