What Our Patients Say
Very well organized, clear explanations on what the actions were doing and overall description of my body.- Great job. Solved a 10 year old problem!!!!
- I am truly amazed with just the first two visits. I have been seeing another Chiropractor for over a year and have not gotten any relief. Two visits later with Dr. Mike and I finally have some results!
- In no time...Dr Mike identified my problem, gave me a comprehensive explanation of "what & where" I have issues and then proceeded to work on each area of concern. I'm feeling better already!
- Great reception and information for a first visit. Very much like the depth of conversation and explanation of why, and how we can move forward.
- I saw Elevation Chiropractic while getting coffee across the street and decided to visit before going home, and I am so glad I went in! Dr. Colpitts introduced me to the sacro-occipital technique and I was absolutely blown away. He made me feel very comfortable and it was more of a learning experience than any chiropractic visit I've ever had. I will be following up with his recommendation for an SOT doctor back home!
- Great first visit, I highly recommend Michael.
- Great holistic approach!
- I very much appreciate that the approach used by Dr. Colpitts is so well structured and geared to communication. First, he listens intently, then he diagnoses after which he explains the cause and shares his recommended treatment. Once we were in synch, he treated me all the while explaining the process. The entire experience was very professional and I learned a lot.
- I learned a lot about how the body works and all parts are interconnected. I look forward to having Michael help me with my lower back pain which will then alleviate some of my other ailments
- Mike tuned right into my needs and I received a great adjustment.
- Very good interaction, comfortable that I've found my new go -to chiropractor
- My first visit was educational, informative, and helpfully "manipulative." I feel I was actively listened to and the explanations offered for my condition made good sense. The treatment I received was amazing - I am already seeing some results.
- I've seen quite a few chiropractors over the last 30 years. This was by far the most informative and logical visit ever. Thanks for taking the time to explain in ways I could understand.
- Over the last 10 years, I have seen several practitioners to try to figure out the root cause of the pain I experience in my knees and back. Within the first half hour of meeting with Dr. Colpitts, he addressed the issues, the cause, and the solution. I am incredibly grateful and feel confident I will be pain-free very soon.
- Wonderful new approach, great understanding of issues, most comfortable treatment!
- Thank you very much for squeezing me in right away. I have to say I've been to chiropractors for over 22 years, and by far your work was the best. Thank you again!
- After one visit, my pain went from an 8 to a 3. I walked in with a limp, and out without and was greeted the very first visit by name. My treatment felt personalized, although my problem was common. I felt confidence and trust in Dr. Michael right from the beginning. Wish I called sooner.
- Very excited to be seen again! My first appointment was wonderful, and I learned so much about my body mechanics. Dr. Colpitts is so knowledgeable and was able to tell me exactly why certain parts of my body hurt and what will hopefully fix it.
- Great Doctor! Glad to have received the referral!
- Since I was not in any pain I did not expect to feel "better." I was surprised that I felt so much better!
- Been to many different practitioners for help with chronic low back pain. Michael has a different approach, and I am hopeful that I will see good benefits. It's early, but I like it.
