Long review here because Dr. Pedersen deserves it and I can t recommend him enough. I came to Dr. Pedersen after trying a few different chiropractors to address an L4-L5 injury causing impingement on my S1 nerve root. I experienced the injury in 2017 deadlifting, and over the course of five years it got progressively worse as I continued to train, compete, and untimely make the S1 nerve increasingly irritated because I didn t have the knowledge to fix it. After weeks of 10/10 pain that had me depressed and not able to participate in my sport, I emailed a spine surgeon ready to do a microdiscectomy (at the least). Fortunately, during that same week, I was referred to Dr. Pedersen. I knew I was in good hands after 10 minutes with him. He started off by actually listening to me to learn how I got there, wanted the full story and invested time in learned about my sport, then transitioned into teaching me. I learned more about my spine and what s going on with it in that first session than I had in years. He found an SI Joint issue, made suggestions, gave me honest advice, and we talked game plan. I felt hope again for the first time and gladly sent the spine surgeon an email that night saying, let s put surgery on hold. In my next session with Dr. Pedersen he presented me with a treatment plan that was spot on with my individual goals, and I did the Gratson method for the first time which ended in literal immediate pain relief. I have several more sessions with him, I m doing everything he s recommended, and my pain at this moment that I type is a 1/10. Thank you Dr. Pedersen for your expertise, kindness, and willingness to help me succeed. The body can heal itself if given the right environment and Dr. Pedersen certainly provides that opportunity.
