Review: I first heard of Dr. Russell Brokstein from my father. My father has been a patient of Dr. Brokstein for close to a year now and the results of his visits for his back have been life changing for my father. After hearing good things about Dr. Brokstein, my father was able to convince me to go for a visit. I tend to have problem areas in the upper and mid regions of my back for at least the past five years. I lose feeling in my legs quickly if I stay in one position to long. I have also suffered from migraines that pills could not keep away and constant interrupted sleep due to back aches. After only just a total of six visits, I have learned how all the different areas of my spine can affect my health when not taken care of properly. So far with just the six visits of adjustment, I am starting to sleep through the night with out waking up in the middle. My migraines have stopped due to my neck not being so tight. I also don't feel like my back resembles a big knotted up muscle. Visiting Dr. Brokstein ... Russell Brokstein from my father.

I used to think visiting a chiropractor was for people who had such severe back problems that they could not move an inch. I now know that in order to prevent severe problems from forming is to take care them when they are beginning. I felt comfortable within the first few minutes of my very first visit. I look forward to each visit and what I will learn next.

Review: I had been a patient of Dr. Russell's for years. Back in August of 2004 I was having problems with my right foot, pain and swelling. Several medical doctors were referring me back and forth for diagnostic tests with no answer and the pain was getting more intense and constant. Pain killers and other meds gave no relief at all. From general practitioner, Neurologist, Podiatrist, orthopedics surgeon... no answers. Pain is so bad I can't sleep or stand for too long. Finally a doctor suggests to have an MRI of my back.. and I begin to think if it's from my back I should call my chiropractor I hadn't seen in a year. Right away Dr. Russell suggests I need to see a Vascular doctor. What took 5 medical doctors 3 months of exams, tests, pills and not knowing what's wrong, Dr. Russell knew right away what specialist I needed to consult. I wish I had seen him sooner as it would've saved me the misery and pain that I had and about to endure. Unfortunately by the time I saw the vascular doctor the problem was so bad I needed bypass surgery as it turned out I had 2 blockages in my leg. The vascular doctor said unfortunately the foot had to be amputated but if it wasn't for Dr. Russell, the consequences could've been a lot worse, including death. I am now standing on my own two feet.. of what's left of the right one. I say to all that read this... speak up.. don't let an MD tell you nothing is wrong. If you are not sure.. ask your chiropractor... if you don't have one.. find one! Thank you Dr. Brokstein... I love you!

Review: Dr. Russell is fantastic! It is so good to be able to receive chiropractic care from someone who is so knowledgeable and passionate about thier work. My whole family goes to him and I can see a big difference in how healthy my kids, my wife and I are when we are receiving regular treatments.
