I met Dr. Brian in early 2009 at a business meeting in Highlands Ranch. He shared with our group a brief overview of the unique Pettibon System that he was trained in for patient care. As an RN, I immediately recognized that there was something very different from the standard Chiropractic that I had experienced in the past. I needed to know more!
Over the years, I had sustained a number of injuries as a result of 2 auto accidents, a horseback riding accident, a hip problem from pregnancy and too many years of high heels and business suits. I had significant neck, shoulder, hip, knee and foot pain and had gone from jogging and climbing mountains to severe pain in my knees and feet much of the time.
I took the traditional path of course, being an RN, and saw my physician who referred me to both a rheumatologist and podiatrist. I had also seen an orthopedic surgeon on my own prior to these consultations. Not one of them had solutions or offered suggestions around what might be causing these problems. I was worked up for a number of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. My tests were all disgustingly normal as my physician put it. The only relief that was offered was anti-inflammatory drugs, cortisone injections and possibly surgery for my feet. I tried the recommended orthotics but found that my feet only got worse over a course of about 4 months.
I knew in my heart that there had to be a link between all of these symptoms but was not able to get anyone to connect the dots. By now, I was having difficulty performing normal duties related to my job due to persistent pain and I had all but given up on jogging or climbing mountains again. Depression began to set in.
Thankfully, at about this same time, I met Dr. Brian. He helped me to understand the importance of biomechanics and postural alignment which all made perfect sense to me, based on my basic knowledge of the spine, how it worked and that it was the life line to the rest of my body. Within in two weeks of the specialized care plan and my religious performance of the home care program, my feet and knees were so much better. After about 6 weeks, I was able to sleep on my left side for the first time in 10 years. I was resting well at night and realized that my pain was NOT being caused by my mattress or some disease. My injuries, over the years, had seriously messed up my spinal stability and function, which in turn, had a major impact on how every moving part of my body was functioning. Finally, the dots were connected and the picture so very clear.
I have been a patient now for almost 7 months. I am amazed that my pain has subsided and am happy to say that over the later summer months, I climbed a 14er and accidentally did an 18 mile hike with my family. I am also jogging again three days a week.
I met Dr. Brent a few months into my care and have been so pleased at how well “the brothers” work together and manage my care. Dr. Brian and Dr. Brent create an environment that is warm, friendly and highly personalized, not to mention having beyond the latest in technology for postural correction. The cold laser therapy “my personal favorite” is an amazing adjunct to the corrective care! Their Pettibon System and the specialized “home care” exercises are second to none. I can truly say, without a doubt, that my care with Dr. Brian and Dr. Brent has been the best investment in my health that I’ve ever made. I have my life and freedom to move and play with my family back. I now have the tools, with home care, that I need to keep my spine and posture in optimal condition for life! I will be forever grateful to Dr. Brian and Dr. Brent for all that they have done and taught me. My life is truly ReNewed!!! ☺ -Angie Bacovcin -50
"I was somewhat skeptical when I first came to Dr. Berlener. For well over 30 years I had been under chiropractic care and was on the roller coaster. You know, get adjusted, feel better, few weeks later back to square one. When this new concept was shown to me I said, "Ya right, I'll give it a try." I'm glad I did! I can move freely, without pain and can get up in the morning without stiffness. Even my other health issues have improved significantly. When Dr. Brent said he could help me, I'm glad I gave it a try" -Steve Flowers-62 years
"At first I was a little nervous. I didn't know if it was going to hurt or what, but it really has helped. I have been able to do things again without being in pain or worrying if I was going to re-hurt myself. It has been one of the smartest things I have done!" -Jacinda Borzych
"Through education and Chiropractic care I am free of headaches, backaches, and earaches. It is wonderful. I appreciate the time Dr. Berlener takes to teach me; which helps me take better care of myself. He is very compassionate towards his patients and passionate about his work." -Kathy Anderson "
My chiropractic care has enabled me to reduce my dependence on my asthma medication. My adjustments have assisted in improving my lung function." -Brian Dodds
"I think he's the best in his field. He's the best chiropractor I have ever had. He knows his work and the knowledge to do it helped me get through the rough times of my pain and agony from my accident. So please get help from this doctor for your health and happiness and well-being from a guy who knows his business!" -Todd Schneider
"I am a very active person who was involved in several car accidents, motorcycle accidents, and have sustained many athletic injuries. I broke my ribs in July 2001. My primary care Physician saw me for 5 min. and prescribed Vicadin. This made me nauseous. I met Ann Stahl at the motorcycle races and she referred me to Dr. Brent Berlener. As time passed, my ribs felt better, however I continued to have pain on the backside of my ribcage and back. Adjustments have proven to be an instant cure without the use of prescription drugs, which did nothing but give me headaches. Since being treated by Dr. Berlener, I breathe easier, don't get headaches, and feel much healthier. And his receptionist Keri is the best!" -Ed Smith
"As a dentist I know that the spine is not always a stable system. From time to time everyone experiences an unstable articulation. The truth is that not all misalignment's cause pain, but they do alter your quality of life. I feel better when I am in "alignment". I know that the T M joint is in a healthier state when the cervical spine is in a correct relationship. I recommend chiropractic care." -Michael Dougherty, DDS
"I have been a victim of migraines for nearly 13 years. Ever since I've been treated by Dr. Berlener, I have thrown out midrin, imitrex & every other pill and I feel great!" -Lana Fore-Warkocz
"I came in about the latter part of February 2001 because of back spasms. I was in a lot of pain. After a few months of adjustments my lower back started to feel better and some of my other pains left me. My health is much better and I am able to do many things. Thank you Dr. Brent for making my life more productive." -Dwight Monberg
"Before becoming a part of Dr. Berlener's office I was a patient. I came in for lower back pain and migraine headaches. Dr. Brent took the time to educate me and was genuinely concerned on my health and well-being and wanted nothing more than to help me. When the migraines got too bad, and I would go to the medical doctor, all that they would do is give me prescriptions that didn't even help. I didn't want to put those prescriptions in my body. He is the only doctor that I see, because he really fixes the root of the problem, instead of the symptomatic pain that the other doctors were treating. I feel better all around and find that my body tends to repair itself more quickly, now that I have let it, by choosing a better and more natural way of health care." -Keri Ross
"Over the years I've experienced a great deal of physical and emotional pain, which was only treated with various medications that only contributed to the discomfort and pain and effecting my emotional state. I was introduced to Chiropractic care which has been greatly effective with my mobility as well as my emotions. Chiropractic treatments have unblocked my energy flow where pinched nerves and misalignment's in my spine were causing a great deal of pain and depression. Chiropractic care gets to the root of the problem strengthening and healing the body from the inside out. I fell at peace, stronger, healthier and energetic. I can now enjoy doing things with my grandson that I am very grateful for the professional care I am receiving." -Cathy Jo Moore
"I've had severe sciatica off and on for the last twelve years. I wasn't able to walk without acute shooting pain from my lower back down to my knee. I've tried everything from physical therapy to acupuncture, muscle relaxers to steroids, and massage therapy to pain medication. Nothing took the pain away. After a friend recommended chiropractic, I started going to Dr. Berlener. Within the first three visits, I felt much better. After about ten visits, I was walking almost without pain. Within the month I was pain-free. I'm so excited to finally find something that works and I will continue with chiropractic care for the rest of my life. I whole-heatedly recommend it to everyone, whether they are experiencing pain or a health problem or not. Chiropractic is what I should have tried twelve years ago. Dr. Berlener is the first doctor I've been to for sciatica who actually cares about his patients and their healing. Thank you Dr. Brent!" -Sarah Benson
"I walk taller thanks to Dr. Brent. No more day-to-day aches. Life is good." -Richard Booth
"My right elbow "tingled" and I had a numbing feeling in two fingers in my right hand. I had difficulty sleeping at night and the sensation occurred even when I put any pressure on my elbow. The problem was a nerve in my neck and after 6 weeks of treatment, the sensation was gone completely." -Bob Hood
"Dr. Brent does an awesome job. He is passionate about his work and practice. He sees the body as a working machine and he gives the body tune ups! He treats the whole body and not just the hurt." -Dr. Ann Hawkins-Hood
"In just 7 adjustments I have already begun to have less pain. In the last 2 days I have had less pain than I have felt in at least 3 years. I cannot remember ever going 2 days in a row with little or no pain." -John Serafin
"I had been in gymnastics for a good ten years not knowing the symptoms of spinal trauma, until I've been out of gymnastics for 2 years. Now that I've been seeing a chiropractor for 3 weeks, I have seen the actual trauma to my spine. I feel like this treatment is helping my body be in the best shape I can be in. Thanks! -Nicole McDonald
"I provide daytime care for a dear woman who has advanced MS. For several weeks, I had accompanied her on her visits to Dr. Brent. Following a fall on the ice, I made an appointment for myself because my aches were hampering my ability to meet her needs. Not only was Dr. Brent able to ease the acute pain, he helped other issues as well. For example, continuing treatments have significantly reduced discomfort related to physical stresses caused by care-giving. I've even noticed an improvement in my posture! Plus any mental stress seems to diminish after an adjustment. Unlike other chiropractors I have visited off and on over the years that focused on acute symptoms, Dr. Brent has provided a long-term plan for truly "Enjoying Great Health." What once seemed only a dream, with Dr. Brent's assistance, is now an attainable goal." -Cheryl Baumbach
"I'm a florist, so I work long hours, (especially on holidays) always on my feet. I was living on Advil just to get through the day. I finally went to see Dr. Brent, who took x-rays and sat down to talk to me. He listened carefully and set an appointment to discuss his findings. After the diagnosis, I was given a video, an adjustment and a lot of instinctive guidance to include exercises. Now, 2 years later, I still come to maintain my newfound health. I consider Dr. Brent to be a special friend who not only heals through Chiropractic but through his ability to show empathy." -Katherine Anderson
"I have been a patient of Dr. Brent R. Berlener for almost a year now. In June of 2002, I suffered some sort of trauma to my lower back. I was under a great deal of stress at the time and the pain was absolutely crippling. I could not stand up straight and was unable to walk normally. Sitting in church or even driving a car would cause my hips to ache severely and my legs would go numb. I tried bed rest, heat, painkillers and muscle relaxants. Nothing helped and I was becoming desperate for even a few minutes of relief from the pain. I felt as though I was a good candidate for back surgery. I really didn't think I had any other option. However, at this time, my father was dying of bone cancer and I couldn't thing of taking the time to seek medical attention for myself. The thought of searching for a doctor and waiting for an appointment and beginning tests and x-rays seemed so complicated. In early July, I saw an advertisement for Dr. Brent Berlener's chiropractic services. His office was nearby and the list of treated pain symptoms was an identical match to mine. With some amount of skepticism, having been steeped in the traditions of the medical world, I called for an appointment and was seen by Dr. Berlener almost immediately. That phone call changed many things. After almost a year of visits and adjustments and exercises, my back has straightened out, my posture has improved, and the muscles in my lower back have regained much of their strength. For the first time in my life, I am sitting up straight when I play the piano. It is now uncomfortable for me to "slump" over the piano, as I have since the fourth grade. Dr. Berlener truly cares about his patients and he professionally demonstrates his knowledge and expertise every time I visit him. He has improved the quality of my health with nutrition and vitamins. My emotional health has improved as well. When my body began to feel better, my mental outlook began to improve as well. It has been a long road of visits and adjustments and I am looking forward to maintenance visits as my health continues to improve. Dr. Berlener's dedication to helping my back and posture has been invaluable and has saved me from the trauma and recovery of surgery! A world of thanks to Dr. Berlener and his friendly, caring staff! I still have aches and pains, but I know I'm on the right road to the best health possible. -Nancy Rosselot
I had fallen last fall and injured a left hip, shoulder, and a jaw. Then arthritis developed in this area and the pain continually got worse and I needed a cane to walk, as well as a walker most mornings. Then I got a scooter for outings: zoo, museum, mountains, vacation, and trips. Now I no longer need the cane for around the house or short walks. However, I do take it to the mountains due to the uneven and rocky ground, which is not always smooth enough for me to walk on. -K.Victoria Hertel
Even though we drive 28 miles each way it has been well worth the effort. Jim no longer has headaches and has a noticeable change in his lower back. My back feels wonderful and the curve in my neck, while not changed much yet, had made adjustments where I stand straighter and have more movements. Would highly recommend Dr. Brent. -Helen and Jim Chase
My care and treatment with Dr. Brent R. Berlener is something that I value and plan to continue. The results speak for themselves. Prior to treatment with Dr. Brent I was at times incapacitated for days with severe neck and back pain - directly related to body strain. Physically, I now have reduced limitations and broadened opportunities. My interests and hobbies include activities such as training, home improvements, and family fun. During the past six months, I have painted the exterior of my home and added two new living spaces to my basement - "Pain Free". 'Wow'… What a contrast! -Kent Davis
