Testimonials

When Dr. Steve was recommended I went to him with the perspective not only of patient, but of doctor as well. As doctor, I had fifteen years of experience with mild to most severe neurorehabilitation patients, and furthermore had been a clinical professor in the department of neurosurgery at Stanford Medical School. As patient, when I began with Dr. Steve, I was eight years beyond a two-level cervical fusion. High spinal injuries have all manner of effects on the neuromuscular system below the damaged level, and I had taken advantage of my understandings to learn and integrate various alternative treatments. Along the way I developed confidence in chiropractic care.

My first and critical impression was that Dr. Steve's practice is quite well-tuned. From the initial telephone contact to checking in on arrival, I found the support staff efficient and courteous. There is an overall atmosphere both relaxed yet highly attentive.

In regard to my actual treatment, Dr. Steve has always demonstrated excellent "bedside manner" and clinical skills. Having a busy practice has never kept him from listening and collaborating with me on my care. He has shown a consistent ability to get right on on target with my presenting problems, and his adjustments have always been very helpful in symptom reduction (so much so that I don't go back often enough).

After two years of care I volunteered this testimonial. Steve VeGodsky is in my opinion an outstanding chiropractic physician that I have frequently recommended. While it's surely a good feeling just to walk in his office, it's always a much better one when I leave.

Twenty-five years ago circumstances leading to an injury forced me to have a back surgery at L4-5. Over the years my back has been a considerable source of pain and difficulty. This condition in turn led me to many medical practitioners and in time, some alternative practitioners as well.

 Dr. Steve VeGodsky has been handling my chiropractic needs for just under a decade. I am extremely happy with the care I receive from Dr. Steve and his staff. Because I travel a lot and frequently have scheduling difficulties, many times I have called on the spur of a moment with a back crises and his office has worked me into the schedule. This extra effort on the part of Dr. Steve and staff has meant a great deal to me.

 Over the past twenty-five years I have received treatment from a good number of chiropractors and orthopedic osteopaths. As the journey with back pain has taught me many things about my body; it has also taught me when I am in the hands of a highly skilled practitioner. I can tell you from a platform of experience; Dr. Steve is one of them!

I have had back problems for over 25 years now, and have used many different means of addressing it, from OTC pain medication, to Hospital Rehab Therapy. I found that Chiropractic adjustments give me the best results.

After moving to Charlottesville Virginia from out of state, I needed to find a good Chiropractor to continue my care. I began seeing Dr. Steve VeGodsky a few months ago, and can say that the care I receive at Chiropractic Family Wellness Center is the best I have ever received, in my history of dealing with  back pain. Other care givers I have seen have given me marginal results, but Dr Steve has given me a higher quality of life. I have less pain on a daily basis than I have felt in years, thanks to all of the staff at Chiropractic Family Wellness Center.

Thanks to all of you,

The first appointment I had with Dr. Steve was the first time I had ever been to a chiropractor, and I was a little nervous.  He did my adjustment, and when I left the office I was actually dragging my right foot a bit.  When I got home and looked in the mirror, I realized that my hips were exactly equal for the first time that I could remember. About 6 months before this visit, I had even gone so far as to get a lift put in my right shoe because my right leg was shorter than the left and was causing back pain.  What a waste of time.  All I needed was an adjustment – well actually a few adjustments – but now both legs are the same and the pain and lift are long gone.

More importantly, though, I was looking for help for my cluster headaches – similar to migraines.  At the time I had these headaches every other year.  They would last for up to 2 months, and I was missing 2-3 days from work a week during that time. Almost immediately once I started seeing Dr. Steve, the intensity of the pain decreased and the nature of the headaches changed.  Now – instead of enduring this every other year – I have an episode every 4 years.  The duration of the event is still 6-8 weeks, but the pain is much less than it used to be, and I may miss only 1 or 2 days of work during the whole 2 months.

I am extremely grateful for the care and friendship I've received over the many years that I've been a patient at the Chiropractic Family Wellness Center.

Dr. Steve is not only a very professional chiropractor, but also a very spiritual person and gifted healer. I came to his office with very chronic, severe middle back pain and clearly evident signs of scoliosis, which I feel were at least partially caused by emotional trauma.

Thanks to Dr. Steve, in about 5 months the pain was completely gone and my spine gained back its natural curve and flexibility. Most importantly, I feel that being healthy physically, help me to also heal my emotional state and restore my energy.

I strongly recommend to anyone to visit Dr. Steve and trust him not only your body, but with your entire well being.

Thank you Dr. Steve!
 
All the best,
