Why Sacramento Residents Love Oak Point Chiropractic

“This happened on a Saturday. By Saturday evening I was ready to go the nearest hospital Emergency Room. Instead I chose to contact a former chiropractic doctor, Dr. James S. helped to mildly relieve this inclusive initial throbbing of the area. Days proceeded. Pain continued. Level 10 pain on the scale, it was day-in and day-out.

“Throughout the next year and a half, the original pain persisted. At this juncture, I had seen six – no eight – different medical doctors at the UC Davis facility concerning this painful issue. Along with Drs. Allen T. and Kevin K., there were Drs. Allen T. with R; then Allen T. with Dr. O; then Allen T. with ‘can’t remember his name!’

“Discussing this with my friend, Libby, who is a masseuse at a chiropractor’s office, she urged me to make an appointment with a chiropractor at the Oak Point Chiropractic center. I did. Meeting with Dr. Mike S., he initially suggested that the pain could be due to a pulled abdominal muscle with a fractured cartilage located in the area of the rib where the pain was most persistent and prevalent.

“On the pain scale of 1 – 10, I walked into Dr. Mike’s office with an eight. During the course of my initial visits over a two-week period, twice a week, the pain subsided altogether with occasional bouts no stronger that a two. That was autumn of 2011. I continued chiropractic visits with him over the course of many months leading into 2012. Result? The pain is gone. Let me repeat that: THE PAIN IS GONE! After consulting with fourteen western medical physicians, this chiropractor helped. His care and knowledge also suppressed the lower back pain due to the ovarian cyst and displaced disk.

“Believe it. Lesson learned: chiropractic health care will be first and foremost from now on when my body gets in trouble, when it screams in pain for relief.”

“I met Dr. Steve Simmons at California Family Fitness and started treatment with him in August of 2008. By the end of September and toward the beginning of October I started to feel like a new person. I was beginning to feel like I had never been in a car accident. I was receiving chiropractic treatment, massages and getting the right exercises from Dr. Simmons. It helped my body and I did not have as much pain as before.

“Today I can stretch, walk, run and sit better. My family and friends tell me I look taller. I am actually taller because my posture is so much better. Simmons Chiropractic has done a very good job and has helped me out a lot. The entire staff takes great care to make sure that you are happy, and well cared for. I could not be any happier.”

“With regular adjustments and massage therapy, I have been able to participate in more rigorous strength training and even some yoga/Pilates, which has helped further my condition as well. I’ve also noticed I am able to sleep better, have much more flexibility and my posture has improved as well.

“What I enjoy the most about Dr. Steve is his genuine concern for my overall complete health, not just my spine.”

“I’ve never had a massage and I really liked the idea of going to an actual medical office and not some massage parlor type setting. The woman I spoke to on the phone was super friendly and very helpful. I came in today for my massage appointment with Amada. Before getting the massage I had a consultation with Dr. Steve. I really enjoyed meeting him. He was friendly and not at all pushy. I was expecting him to come in and tell me I needed all this chiropractic work, but it wasn’t like that at all. He just asked some questions and actually seemed interested in my answers! Not like my regular doctors, who treat me like I’m taking up too much of their time as it is.

“I met with Amada, who was going to be my masseuse, she was also super friendly. She made me feel very comfortable. She explained to me the procedure of the massage and didn’t mind answering my questions. Also, the massage was amazing! She paid special attention to my shoulder that has been bothering me and it started to feel better as she was rubbing it.

“I could tell she really knew what she was doing. I can’t wait to go back and get another massage from Amada. My shoulder has felt like new since I left the office! She rocks!”

“Some neighbors of mine referred me to Dr. Simmons. Immediately I felt a change after seeing him. Then after a couple of months of care I started to feel great. Now I come in for treatment once a month. It is definitely worth it! I had a better attitude, I’m physically better and I feel young again. Now I am able to participate in recreational activities such as water skiing and snow skiing. I have even built up an exercise routine which Dr. Simmons encouraged me to increase the range of motion in my neck.

“I just love Dr. Simmons and the care he provides. He is easy to talk with and I can talk to him about whatever is ailing me. Whenever I have a concern he is great about trying to alleviate the problem. He gives me healthy recommendations on how I can improve my health and he always seems to relate well to what I am experiencing.

“Having a doctor that provides a holistic care and that is knowledgeable about so many different areas of the body is something I never anticipated while being under chiropractic care. Thank you Dr. Simmons for all that you do!”

“They also have a frequent visit program where you can purchase all of your visits for a year up front and not worry about it the rest of the year. I use the feature with my flexible spending account and it is great. I save taxes on it, and get in once a month to make sure that I haven’t hurt myself.

“They have early morning appointments and are great about getting people in. There is also a CMT (Certified Massage Therapist) on location which is great.”

“I was introduced to Dr. Michael Simmons through a good friend and the results were terrific! With chiropractic treatment from Dr. Mike, I was able to gain strength and flexibility in my body. Chiropractic has done so much for me! It stabilizes me and puts everything into alignment. I have arthritis and my muscles get tight. Chiropractic adjustments loosen them up. With the help of Dr. Mike, I am able to live a pretty active life for an 84 year old!”

“Before hearing about Dr. Simmons, I saw several medical doctors and neurologists who tried to help me with my condition. They gave me numerous medications and kept changing them on me. The medications offered minimal relief and never got me out of bed. The doctors had given me all their tests but didn’t know what was wrong or what else to do. They were done with me and released me to go back to work. The day I was supposed to back to work I thought would be the day I was fired. I knew I wouldn’t last a half hour at work.

“On the first day of seeing Dr. Simmons is when I noticed a change. I was able to walk around at home and not be restricted to the bed. On the next day I was able to do a lot of chores around my home. I was even able to mow the lawn. After one month of treatment I no longer have a constant pain in my legs and arms. I still experience the headaches but they are less severe and I am able to go back to working an eight-hour day. I can now spend my time with family and friends and enjoy family functions. My medical doctor has noticed an improvement in me since I have had chiropractic treatments. She sees the difference and even commented about referring one of her patients to Simmons Chiropractic.

“I am happy for all that Dr. Simmons has done for me. I didn’t think that chiropractic could help me get my life back, but it did.”

“He was extremely concerned regarding the amount of pain I was in and was very sensitive to my situation. He determined the appropriate on going care and their efficient and very friendly staff made the follow up appointments.

“I have been very happy with the outcome of my visits and amazed how quickly Dr. Simmons was able to get me fully functional again. I highly recommend Oak Point Chiropractic and will most certainly continue to see Dr. Steve Simmons.”

“It really amazed me when he gave me these core strength exercises to do and in just 3 weeks, my Bench had gone up by 50 pounds.

“Friends commented on my health and how much stronger I am now. I tell them it’s my Chiropractor. In fact, I’m working on arranging for Dr. Simmons to come do a presentation at my gym because he’s definitely the best!”
