Heartwood Soft Tissue Balancing

I am so grateful to have found Dr. Vanderwall. Whether it was my neck being out from sleeping wrong or an injury to my hip and lower back. He is so gentle and intuitive when he works on you. I always leave his office feeling very supported while going through my discomforts and feeling way better after my appt. Dr V. would call and check on me a few days later to make sure I’m doing ok. He really cares on your well being which is very important to me because I’ve been to enough places where I’m treated like a number!

I have been to several different chiropractors and had MANY spinal adjustments over the course of thirty years. Shortly after relocating to the Denver area, my lower back (my «achilles heel») was in sorry shape, and I was in serious need of help, but I hadn’t yet found a chiropractor in the area. A local Denver massage therapist recommended Dr. Vander Wall. «He’s not your typical chiropractor,» the therapist informed me, «but his methods are very effective.» My first visit to Dr. V. was in July 2012. I will admit, I went in to his office a skeptic, but came out a believer. In the space of that first one-​hour assessment and treatment, Dr. V. had done more for me than half-​a-​dozen chiropractors over the span of several decades… and all without the forceful, bone-​wrenching techniques employed by traditional chiropractic.
Here’s the key difference: Dr. V. treats the underlying causes of skeletal misalignments – the «soft tissue balancing,» as he calls it. In so doing, he has also taught me how to better take care of myself and stay in balance. As an example, it is amazing just what I’ve learned about the benefits of deep breathing! This has been a life changing journey for me. My body still gives me grief on occasion, but Dr. Vander Wall has never failed to get it back in harmony, and I look forward to his periodic «tune-​ups,» to learn more and stay healthy. Can’t say enough good things. Do yourself a favor.

Dr. Vander Wall is amazing. I have been a mechanic for 17yrs and have many injuries related to my work. I have (or had) De Quervain’s tendinitis in my wrist. It was so bad I couldn’t write with a pen properly. I went to an orthopedic surgeon and got cortisone shots and therapy. Needless to say it only slightly helped my situation. The only option the surgeon had for me was to go under the knife. I went to several other chiropractors and didn’t have any success with relieving my pain.

After some research I found the soft tissue approach is what I was looking for. I went to Dr. Scott and noticed an improvement in my pain after the first treatment. I would say it took 10 – 15 treatments to knock the pain out completely. It has been six months since I have felt any noticeable pain in my wrist. Having to use my hands on a daily basis I am impressed with the success I have had going to Dr. Scott. He eliminated the need for surgery. In my eyes it was money well spent. I still go back for periodic adjustments and now he is treating the pain in my shoulder.

I like to call Dr. Vander Wall «magic hands.» He has a gift for knowing just what to do to help my pain. I love that he is different than other chiropractors. He actually spends the time with me to work on the soft tissue rather than just doing a quick crack like most chiropractors. He uses a gentler approach that is much safer and more effective. Not only that, he is very kind and caring. Now that I have found Dr. Vander Wall, I don’t ever want to go back to a normal chiropractor again.
