Gary B. Mendez, DC

After a lot of lifting on August 15, my low back went out when bending over the next day. The next week, my primary care doc gave me a shot of cortisone, which has helped before. (For several years, I've also received somewhat regular epidural shots in my cervical vertebrae.) But that didn't help. Then one morning, my back had locked up such that any initial movement was torture. At some moments until I forced through it, the sharp physical pain reached a vision-constricting ten. The meds I'm taking for my neuropathic hand pain did nothing to even take the edge off. This somewhat forced my hand. I looked at reviews chiropractors on the Cigna website (and elsewhere) until I found Dr. Gary Mendez at Momentum Chiropractic. I saw him the last day of August, and I'd say the "locked up" torture was 30% better the next night. I saw him two days later and have not any episodes since.

Dr. Mendez has been my chiropractor for more than 20 years, he is the best! He would never trick you, tell you that you need more adjustments than what is necessary, or adjust you in such a way that causes you to need more adjustments. I've been to those type of chiropractors, Gary's only desire is to get you well. My sister was visiting from Michigan. She went to see Dr. Mendez and the next morning she said that was the first time she has woken up without pain in years. A month later we were talking on the phone and she was still pain free, she wishes she could find a chiro in Michigan as good as him! My sister is in chronic pain from work injuries and on disability because of it. She also has to het cortisone injections. So for her to pain free that long is an answer to prayer for her. Like I said, Dr. Mendez is the best!
