Thrive Health Systems Chiropractors of Arvada

I haven’t been able to walk very far without nerve pain down my leg for the last five years. I went for a six mile hike the other day and I attribute that to Dr. Nicken’s help. Decompression therapy and Dr. Nicken’s manipulation have put me comfortably back on my feet again. I can’t recommend him enough!

I’ve been going to Thrive multiple times a week for the past 3 weeks, and they have been extremely helpful in reducing my lower back pain and nerve pain. I’ve been getting an adjustment and using the decompression machine every time and I’m noticing improvement with every visit! They got me X rays on my first visit and on my second visit gave me a report / presentation on my X rays and explained exactly why I was experiencing such severe pain. They created a care plan for me to follow to not only reduce my pain, but correct the shape of my back to hopefully fix the problem completely. The staff is incredibly kind and professional, and they make it really easy to schedule and reschedule appointments as needed. I highly recommend anyone struggling with back, neck or nerve pain to come to Thrive — you’ll be in good hands!

I herniated a disc in my back at L-4. The pain down my right leg was so severe that I couldn’t walk for more than 1-2 minutes at a time and I couldn’t stand up straight. I do not have a desk job and I was starting to get concerned that I would not be able to work. I tried a cortisone shot which did nothing for the pain. I was referred to Thrive by a friend and my initial consultation was with Dr. Ryan. He took x-rays and listened to all of my symptoms. I returned the next day and he had a comprehensive treatment plan for me to review. It involved spinal decompression and chiropractic adjustments. Medication or surgery were never mentioned which I really liked. Dr. Ryan was very reassuring that we could get me back to normal. I started the treatment plan and within 2-3 weeks I was walking like normal and the majority of my pain resolved. I continue to improve and I feel great about my prognosis. The staff at Thrive are awesome! I enjoy every appointment!
