What Our Patients Say
Mike tuned right into my needs and I received a great adjustment.- 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 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'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.
- 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
- Great holistic approach!
- Great Doctor! Glad to have received the referral!
- 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.
- Wonderful new approach, great understanding of issues, most comfortable treatment!
- Been to many different practitioners for help with chronic low back pain. Acupuncture, Sports Med, other Chiropractic, Massage, Yoga, Physical Therapy, etc... Michael has a different approach, and I am hopeful that I will see good benefits. It's early, but I like it.
- Very good interaction, comfortable that I've found my new go -to chiropractor
- Great job. Solved a 10 year old problem!!!!
- 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.
- 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!
- 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. Thank you!
- 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!
- 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!
- As a chiropractic student, I am always eager to learn more about different chiropractic techniques. I was visiting Tahoe from out of town and in addition to having some concerns about an ear problem I wanted to another practice. 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. As a student I was so thankful to learn from him and will be following up with his recommendation for an SOT doctor back home! Thank you so much, Elevation Chiropractic!
- Over the last 10 years, I have seen several physical therapists, chiropractors, and orthopedics 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.
- Very well organized, clear explanations on what the actions were doing and overall description of my body
- Great first visit, I highly recommend Michael.
- Since I was not in any pain I did not expect to feel "better." I was surprised that I felt so much better!
