Positive Motion Chiropractic Review

Dr. Brant is great. Apart from regular chiropractic care that has improved shoulder pain I have had for years - he helped me with a heel pain that I got after jumping on some rocks at a beach a few months ago. He got me an X-ray and Radiologist reading for $25 - that's right $25. Since there was no fracture to my heel he recommend Gel Heel cups which I bought on Amazon for $10. I am sure if I had gone to a doctor and then a specialist this whole process would have cost me a few thousand dollars....highly recommended and a very nice guy as well!

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.

Dr. Petersen is the absolute best. After having decades of back, hip, and knee issues, he has diagnosed and adjusted me (as well as giving me restorative exercise "homework") that painlessly restored me to a level of mobility and balance I haven't had in years. He's been especially helpful as I lost weight after bariatric surgery and had to adjust to a new center of gravity and other changes to my body.

As a 31-year-old suffering from chronic back pain from a car accident injury in my low back, I have spent years trying pain medicine, tens units, physical therapy and epidurals. Approximately 3 months ago I was in severe pain, taking muscle relaxers and pain medicine every day. I decided it was time to go get another epidural but would have to spend weeks suffering until I got insurance approval and doctor s appointments scheduled. A friend at work had been recommending Dr. Brant Pedersen for months, but I was scared of trying a Chiropractor as I have dislocated many bones in my life and the idea of popping bones was scary to me. Desperate in pain I decided to try Dr. Pedersen.

After just under 3 months, I am approximately 85% better. I am completely off pain meds and rarely take an occasional ibuprofen. I went from having to stand due to pain my whole 12-hour work shift, to sitting about 80% of my day. Dr. Pedersen not only has done the usual adjustments, but is also very dedicated to giving me the tools to manage my chronic pain, i.e. exercises, focusing on sitting properly, etc.

I would highly recommend trying chiropractic work if you haven t already. I went from thinking I was a 31-year-old with a messed up back for life, to now believing it is simply my body communicating with me that I am doing things wrong. It feels amazing to not be in severe pain, limited in my daily abilities and a prisoner to prescriptions/procedures. A big thanks to Dr. Pedersen and I can t wait to continue to progress. Dr. Pedersen is beyond worth it!

Disclaimer: Long review :)
I came to Dr Brant Pedersen after 7 plus years of trying it all. Yes, you read right.. almost 8 years of dealing with nerve pain shooting from the neck to my left shoulder blade area sometimes numbing my upper are even. The last 2 years have been particularly painful and constant ( lots of intensity, lots of frequency)
I'm a yoga teacher and no, this was NOT caused by yoga and YES I know my body pretty well.
I tried PT, Acupuncture, Mio fascial massage, cupping, deep tissue, chiropractor, MRI and the list keeps going.
I knew about Brant yet was avoiding it due to pricing.
When I met him the first few words I said were: "I have zero expectations and you are my last shot because my best friend told me so many times to come that I'm here"
What's DIFFERENT about Brant is that
1) He loves challenge
2) He has knowledge that exceeds a regular chiropractor and he's INTUITIVE in his approach too.
3) He makes a plan. It starts with an assessment of body alignment and he's showing you how he's going to get from A to B, from 90% pain to 50, to 30 to Zero.
4) He involves the patient in understanding what's happening and how to make changes with easy exercises.
5) He re assesses after the plan and shows you honest results weather there's improvement or not.
So... a couple of months into treatment and: Frequency of pain went from every single day to 10 days or more without. Intensity has decreased significantly though it's not gone. I still have 3 more visits planned but it's the first time in years I am hopeful and thinking there might be an end to my prolonged suffering.
To top it all Brant is a super cool human being.. he's very passionate about helping customers feel better in their bodies and I can attest to that because I'm the same way with my students.
Yes, it's an investment in your own health and yes it's worth it every penny.
Thanks Brant for your help!!

I highly recommend Dr Pedersen! His knowledge of the body, muscles, and joints is superior. I have had amazing results as his patient! Recently, I had what I thought was an inner ear infection; after seeing Dr Pedersen, he told me it was Vertigo and worked on my neck. He also gave me exercises to help get rid of it. Just to be sure, I had an appointment with an Ear, Nose and Throat Doctor. The Dr told me that everything Dr Pedersen did was correct, and I should continue with his exercises and adjustments - it was Vertigo! The ENT Doctor said he didn't want to do any other treatment on me because he was afraid it would interfere with the excellent care I was receiving from Dr Pedersen. This was not the first time that Dr Brandt Pedersen had correctly diagnosed treatment! The best part is that Dr Pedersen is easy to get into, and the medical Drs take weeks for an appointment. Dr Pedersen is compassionate, intelligent, and highly versed on all medical conditions and sports injuries. I look forward to my visits at his beautiful and professional office.

I've been going to Dr. Pedersen for years and can I just say that his skills and knowledge of his craft always seem to amaze me. Not only can he fix what's aching in no time, but helps me with my overall health issues as well (health isn't always just physical, but mental as well). He doesn't try to make you pay a lump sum upfront or require more visits than you need. He makes you strive to live a healthier lifestyle because you realize it does make a difference. I always leave better than I went in and it's not just a temporary fix for a few hours either. He truly cares, has a wonderful and soothing office, not to mention a fabulous staff (Nicole, I'm looking at you). I've recommended family members and friends because I want them to feel as good as he makes me feel when I leave and he hasn't disappointed any of them. Believe me, when he cracks your back, it's a glorious feeling. And I will say this again, he TRULY cares, and that's an additional gift you get in return, no extra charge.

I have had a major lower back problem for the past 9 months. To me, it felt as though something was "out of place", causing pain near my sacrum/lumbar spine. It has stopped me from all athletic activities, and really affected my day to day life for 9 months. I have been to three doctors who all have simply tried to prescribe me drugs or recommend PT to solve this issue.

Today, Brandt was able to completely fix the entire issue in 20 minutes. He was able to find the exact problem areas without me even saying anything. He made me feel extremely comfortable the entire time.

I am SO grateful, and can't stress enough how worth it this was. My back pain is completely gone and for the first time in 9 months I feel normal. Totally worth the price, and to be honest I would have paid more if I had known the outcome would be this good.

Cheers!

He will fix you. My coworkers all recommended Brandt Pedersen at Positive Motion Chiropractic. They all said, he will fix you. I went in with neck and upper back pain from repetitive stress (hardhats, bad ergonomics, etc.). He not only did adjustments (neck, back, limbs), he will gave me the tools and exercises to fix the problem, and strengthen the muscles whose weakness contributed to it. I've tried other chiropractors and all they did was adjust my back and send me away. This did nothing to fix the underlying problem or provide a long term solution for my pain. Brandt's sports medicine background is a great help in both finding the source of my neck and back problems and in finding lasting relief from them. He's the best I've ever found.

I am very active with Tennis. I've been to so many PT/Chiropractors. Brant is very different than the rest. He knows what he's doing, creates a plan and makes sure one reaches the goals of this plan.
It took me five visits to resolve an ankle issue I had for a while. Since then, I play Tennis freely and have no pain.
