“In 2017 I had a slight MCL tear on my left knee, the previous doctor I was seeing suggested doing a knee surgery to repair it. The doctor said the recovery would take 5-6 months after surgery and since I do wildland firefighting I could not wait that long since summer season was approaching and that is are busiest time of the year. I started looking for alternatives which is when I found Dr fields he suggested Prolotherapy and said the recovery would be more like 3-4 month, he explained the procedure and after the third round of injections I was back to normal, which is consist of carrying 45 pound pack and hiking around steep terrain. Dr fields and associates helped me back to having a normal life without surgery, they were professional, caring and helpful through the process.“

“Dr Tsubakiyama is so wise, knowledgeable & a true master in his own right. The acupuncture is top quality; then the massage makes this a perfect combination of true “hands on healing.”“

“A Total Game-Changer for My Sleep, Anxiety, and Overall Mental Health

I cannot recommend Lifespan Medicine highly enough! After struggling for years with poor sleep, anxiety, and depression, I finally feel like myself again—and it's all thanks to their thoughtful, comprehensive approach to health.

From the very first visit, I felt truly seen and heard. The team took the time to dig deep into the root causes of my symptoms and developed a personalized plan that actually works. No guesswork—just science-backed strategies that made a real difference.

Within weeks, I was sleeping better than I have in years, and my anxiety and mood began to steadily improve. I feel calmer, more focused, and finally in control of my mental and physical wellbeing.

Lifespan Medicine isn’t just about treating problems—it’s about optimizing your entire life. If you're struggling with similar issues and want a team that really cares and delivers results, this is the place to go!“

“Today, I saw Dr. James Scherer, PT, DPT, OCS, Certified MDT, from Rehab Specialists. His professionalism and courtesy were simply over-the-top. My issue was unique, which required a different skillset. I feel most fortunate to have worked with Dr. Scherer. Thank you for your excellence. - Andrew Jay Gross“

“I was suffering from SI pain, Sacroilliac joint pain, that radiated into my right hip and butt muscles. It started years ago and would subside and reemerge regularly. It was so bad in the past coupe of years that periodically I resorted to using trekking sticks to remain mobile. I started wearing an SI "belt" in the past year which helped some but I was still having pain during physical activity. I decided that since my orthopedist couldn't help me and physical therapy provided limited success I'd see a chiropractor. I have seen chiropractors off an on since the '70s so chiropractics wasn't new to me. I searched Yelp and decided I'd start with Dr. Mitchell and if I didn't get results I'd try another chiropractor. Because I'm in my seventies, I have a COMPLEX medical/health history. First thing I liked about Dr. Mitchell is that before he came into the room he took sufficient time to read my health history. Now some of that history is directly linked to my SI joint pain but multiple myeloma cancer, chronic kidney disease, etc. are just other things I deal with. But I wanted my mobility back, free from pain and that's why I was switching to a chiropractor. Dr. Mitchell is trained in numerous chiropractic modalities and uses different ones depending on what my SI joint needs that day. I'm HAPPY to say, I'm attending my senior aerobics classes again three times a week! I'm wearing my SI belt infrequently and after each chiropractic visit I can feel the subtle changes in my posture, balance and alignment. It's subtle and one of the ways I notice it I can feel different muscles engaging to maintain the new alignment. Be aware, he actually works Tuesday and Thursdays, not M,W,F as listed here on Yelp. Go see him.“
