Soreness from desk jockey posture defeated at The Balanced Spine NUCCA

I had poor posture from sedentary lifestyle and persistent muscle soreness from working on the computer 10-12 hours a day. The stress was beginning to affect other areas of my health.



My experience was very positive. Dr. Schallmann explained to me the process for the treatment and made sure my questions were answered. I could see the improvement week-to-week as I went through the treatment.



My posture has improved and I feel less muscle soreness and fatigue. My spine feels more balanced and stable. I have found improvement in other areas of my health as well. -Alex S.


Prior to The Balanced Spine I had just moved to the area. I was looking for a new chiropractor. I was intrigued by the philosophy and that each adjustment was not the same as the last.

My experience has been wonderful. The locking-up feeling that was experiencing at the top of my neck (a primary complaint), has all but gone away.

The Balanced Spine has helped me re-focus on the things I already knew to be appropriate for my health and wellness.

Neck stiffness subdued, migraines now miniscule

I had a neck and shoulder pain issue. Stiffness in back and neck. My experience has been very comfortable (at The Balanced Spine). Professional staff. I now have better posture, and I remember to take stretch breaks now! –Richard L.


Prior to The Balanced Spine I had hip pain. The pain made it hard to work. Job requires I stand on my feet. Also, the pain restricted my range of motion in my karate and yoga practice.

It has been a good experience (at the Balanced Spine). Skeptical at first, because I was accustomed to the traditional chiropractic adjustment. Dr. is very personable.


Now, hip pain is almost gone. Feels better at work and in my karate practice and yoga practice. – Shannon Mc

I used to have up to 10 migraines a month. Since coming to the Balanced spine I feel relaxed and believe that the team is genuinely interested in reducing my pain. The frequency of headaches have reduced. –Minal M.

Unaccounted for daily back pain

I was having pain in the hip, back and neck. Couldn’t exercise at all like I used to. Couldn’t stand at work. Was in a lot of pain most of the day.



It’s been a great experience (at The Balanced Spine). Dr. Grandfield is very nice and helpful. She has been giving me exercises to do at home. Giving me adjustments that wipe me out, but I feel so much better in the long-run. –Karen S.

Before The Balanced Spine? “I had almost daily back pain but didn’t know why.”


Patient experience? “Quick and painless, and my back pain is almost completely gone. I can do all the things I want to do.” –Julia F.


Before The Balanced Spine? “I was pretty healthy overall but had pain in my left knee and shoulder which was affecting my quality of life.”


Patient experience? “The experience has been great. Constant tracking of progress and adjustments helped me feel much better overall and I could ‘sense’ progress week to week. It is a process that takes time as the body adjusts and TBS has definitely put me on a great path to accomplish my health and wellness goals.” –Varun S.

Constant headache caused by car accident

Prior to The Balanced Spine? “I had stiffness in the neck and back, and MRI showed pinched cord in C-4 through C-5. I came here as an alternative to surgery for pinched nerves.”



Patient experience? “It has been helpful to relieve neck and back muscle stiffness. Numbness in my hands have lessened. I have regained more mobility in my neck. I look forward to continued improvements.” –Chiu W.

Prior to The Balanced Spine? “I had been in a car accident and had a headache for over a week. I was also experiencing pain in mid and lower back. Before the accident I was a very active cyclist riding or racing 4-6 times a week.”


Patient experience? “The doctors are friendly and I feel like they want to do their best to help me get better. I ask a lot of questions and they always answer them.”



Health and wellness goals? “After my first adjustment my constant headache went away for several days and has rarely come back. They have shown me stretches to help with pain in other areas, and to improve my posture and overall mobility.” –Chris M.

Upper back pain defeated with NUCCA

Prior to The Balanced Spine? “I had back pain in the upper right side of my back for years. With treatment now, it’s totally gone. I can’t believe how well this worked for me.”



Patient experience? “Great. I love the approach of fixing the problems rather than treating the symptoms.”


Health and wellness goals? “Made me think about my health as a whole. I think about what I’m eating, how I’m feeling and how active I’ve been each and every day now.” –Anthony F.

Neck tension negated with NUCCA

Prior to The Balanced Spine? “I didn’t feel significant pain but I always had tension in the neck and it bothered me a lot.”



Patient experience? “Even with one treatment I felt a lot of relief from tension or pain. It was remarkable.”


Health and wellness goals? “Dr. Schallmann showed me some stretch movements. His gentle treatment helped me a lot. The best part was I didn’t feel any pain during his treatment.” –Yuko Y.

Pain in shoulder and body imbalance

Prior to The Balanced Spine? “I had some pain in my right shoulder that wouldn’t go away for a few months. Plus, I noticed that I was wearing my heels down in an uneven manner, so my posture was probably off balance. I also carried a lot of stress in my shoulders and back.”



Patient experience? “The adjustments are painless and it’s amazing how you can see the changes so quickly. The stretching techniques, and tips on how to increase range of motions were easy to do and very helpful. The staff and doctors have been very cordial, making for a great experience when I come for my visit.”


Health and wellness goals? “I don’t have the same pain I used to, and knowing that I have a competent chiropractic team on my side as I try to maintain a healthy lifestyle, and physical fitness is a healthy mental state to be in. This helps reduce my stress because I know I’m doing something good for me.” –May K.
