Independence Spine and Orthopedic

"I have had a chronic back issues for about 10 years. I tried quite a few different avenues to heal it but it always comes back and no chiropractor or doctor could really give me a good solution. I visited Rich about 6 months ago in hopes he could cure me. Turns out the reality is that it is an injury that probably won't be cured completely ever with my active life style (Weight Training, Ice Hockey, Jiu Jitsu). Rich had me in his office for an assessment and eventually gave me a very detailed list of exercises and stretches to rehab my back which included how often I should do them and when. These stretched and exercises have been a life saver for me. My back healed quicker than usual but most importantly I use the stretches before and after I am active and it has kept me in the game. I had a great experience and would definitely recommend him to others."

"Rich is a wizard. He helped me recover my health and quality of life. I was suffering from multiple herniated discs in my neck which caused excruciating pain as well as peripheral neuropathy and weakness down my entire arm. Rich taught me techniques to manage the condition without surgery. I have been pain and symptom free for almost a year, and Rich taught me exactly what to do whenever I get a little twinge. He’s the best!!!"

"Richard’s knowledge and understanding of the body is truly remarkable! He spent time collecting a thorough history and showed my husband easy, functional exercises that he could do wherever he is! My husband’s life went from constant low back pain and upper back pain to pretty much pain free! The tools that Richard taught him have gotten my husband out of 2 bad flare-ups. Implementing the tools and exercises that Richard taught my husband have changed his life!"

"I have worked with Rich Winters on two separate occasions dealing with back pain. If you want to accelerate your healing, you need to see Rich. During this last round of pain, I spent two weeks trying to work through it on my own. Once I decided to see Rich, I felt 90% better within the next two days due to his thorough evaluation and assignment of exercises to correct the problem. Next time, I won't be waiting through another two weeks of unnecessary pain. Do yourself a favor. If you're in pain, see Rich, do the work he gives you, and enjoy sweet relief!"

"Would 100% recommend Dr. Rich Winters to anyone with any type of ailment! Rich understands and prioritizes getting his patients back to baseline in the quickest, most efficient way possible. I saw Rich with a partially torn ACL with a goal of trying to get back to long distance running and Rich allowed me to be able to achieve this in only 3 visits! Rich is the best and really puts his patients and their care first."
