"I came to SCC because of increasing pain in my neck, head, and low back. I had loss of concentration, extreme fatigue, and high frustration with reduced productivity at work and limited availability at home. Almost immediately, I felt relief from the severe discomfort. There were times when I actually felt energized in my cells, down to my bones (I don’t know how else to explain it)! The thing that surprised me the most is that my lower back was really causing me serious trouble – I never had that part directly adjusted yet it went away! The staff is very personable, interactive and professional. I like the open space – it provided a more energetic, less clinical atmosphere. The techniques used in tandem really made the difference for me in terms of treatment, results, and sustainability."

"I could not walk more than three steps at one time or stand, sit, bend, or lift without very intense pain. I had not worked since December 2007. Surgery looked like the only option and I was dreading the thought. I had very limited activities, virtually no work, I was becoming buried financially, becoming depressed, a lot of anxiety, a feeling of hopelessness.
The results have dramatically changed my pain level to at least 50% of before, now it is tolerable. I am walking farther, more often & closer to normal than I have in the past 18 months. My depression is lifting and hope has been restored. Looking forward to returning to full time work soon.
SCC has been a wonderful experience for me. It is the warmest, most comfortable, professional atmosphere I have ever been received at. I have total confidence in the center and what they will help me achieve. Very caring sincere people, I feel blessed. La familia!"

"Outstanding. 30 years of chiropractors finally achieve a masterful treatment. I recommend highly. I had my doubts because of the severity of my curvature. I now have a better quality of life."

"When I began treatment with Dr. Farrell, I was hoping to straighten and strengthen my spine and reduce the chronic pain that comes with scoliosis. Along with achieving these goals came an unexpected added bonus: a new lease on life. I was unaware how many other aspects of my life were being affected by the pain of my scoliosis. My treatment at SCC not only helped my scoliosis but it improved the quality of my life significantly."

"I want to share a recent experience that illustrates the progress I’ve made in the treatment of my scoliosis by Dr. Cardwell and the staff at SCC. I have always enjoyed walking outdoors and for the past few years have relied on trekking poles for support. A few days ago, I decided to take advantage of the summer-like weather and go for a walk. Confidently, I chose to walk without the use of the poles. I walked through our neighborhood for 20 minutes without pain and had good balance and stability. Now, that’s an improvement! A very happy day!"

"After suffering from terrible headaches for years, I was told by surgeons that I needed three discs in my neck fused. Not wanting surgery, I researched and found out about decompression. I have been seeing Dr. Farrell for a couple of weeks now and feel so much better with this treatment."

"I had frequent spells of weakness and tingling in my hands. During those times I was unable to hold a pen or open a doorknob and unable to do my job as a dental assistant. I have been symptom-free now almost all the time for several months. Also, I have better circulation and don’t feel as cold. I’ve been able to concentrate on excelling at my job rather than struggling to stay afloat. I am making more money and don’t feel frustrated at myself as I used to when my body wouldn’t cooperate. SCC has a casual friendly atmosphere and I felt that they truly cared about my problem and concerns and wanted to help me. I definitely recommend this office."

"I had carpal tunnel, neuropathy in my feet from type 2 diabetes, neck problems and a bad left knee. I could not play the piano and organ like I used to because of the hand, feet and knee pain. Playing the organ pedals was difficult.
After five weeks, there is considerable change in the x-rays. It is a wonderful office of caring doctors and staff. I’m glad to be under there care."

"I had forgotten what it was like to live without a headache and backache every day until I went to Dr. April Cardwell. I had been to numerous chiropractors, holistic doctors, a spine surgeon, and an osteopath, but nobody could help me. Now I have curve in my neck and lower back and the scoliosis and herniated disks are being corrected and I live without a headache. Life is good now."

Spine Correction center is the best. My husband and I both went there for treatment and have finished our treatment and feel like new people. We don't have the back pain and knee pain we use to have. The staff is so friendly and helpful. They go out of their way to achieve the goal you want to have. Thanks Dr. April and Dr. Mike you are an awesome team!

The care was great. My daughter's scoliosis was improved significantly. The only complaint is that we paid in full, then insurance paid, and we didn't receive reimbursement. Even though we communicated with the doctor mulitiple times in person and through email, and the doctor said they would resolve the issue, we never received any reimbursement.

"Dr Farrell is the very best. My treatment with him has changed my life completely. I now have an immune system and relief from asthma, headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel and many other random aches and pains. I would recommend that anyone who needs relief or wants a better quality of life visit SCC--they do great work here!"

"Because of my habit of always being in a hurry, I had fallen several times down short flights of stairs and off ladders, always onto my left hip! Not surprisingly, I began having chronic left hip and leg pain. The pain was always worse when I had to sit still for even short periods—but especially when I was driving on a long road trip. Upon standing, I would move slowly and painfully. Eventually, my sleep was interrupted by hip and leg pain. Twice over a period of several months, an orthopedist injected cortisone in the hip bursa and the injections lessened the pain temporarily. Several visits to two other chiropractors in other cities had offered no lasting relief.
Initially, I received intensive therapy for two weeks with Dr. Farrell. Periodically, I have returned for maintenance therapy whenever I travel from NM to Denver to visit my daughter I feel like a new person (even though I am actually 68!). Everyone in the office is consistently friendly, caring, and efficient. Dr. Cardwell and Dr Farrell are obviously passionate about and truly expert in their professions. The receptionists are always cheerful and welcoming. The therapy assistants could not be any more kind, effective and encouraging.
I am not the only member of my family who sings the praises of SCC. My daughter, two granddaughters, niece, great niece, and son-in-law are all in better health because of treatments and services received at SCC."

Dr. Farrell’s free dinner workshop is a great way to learn how to take care of yourself while enjoying a night out with your friends. I highly recommend it.

"I have had 4 neck surgeries and was still in a lot of pain. I couldn’t bend my neck forward or backward. My ring finger on both hands was very swollen and extremely painful. I wasn’t able to type on the computer, bend my fingers, or touch them without a lot of pain. Everything I did would cause a lot of pain. The doctors said they could only give me Cortisone shots in my neck to relieve the pain for a short time. A very good friend of mine recommended me to Dr. Farrell. I was very happy with my first visit. He took x-rays and really treated me professionally. He was concerned and was interested in helping me. I have a plate in my neck that was tilted. Dr. Farrell used his decompression machine, and with his highly skilled hands completely took the pain from my neck. I am still going to him so I don’t ever get into the situation I was in a year ago. I recently returned from a trip to Italy. Without the help I received from Dr. Farrell, I would not have been able to enjoy all the beautiful art on the ceilings of the buildings and appreciate all the beauty."
