A New Lease on Life in Kalispell For years, I had resigned myself to living with chronic lower back pain. As someone who once competed at an elite athletic level, the irony was not lost on me: even peak performance couldn’t shield me from a pain that had become a constant companion. I’d spent tens of thousands of dollars on treatments that offered only fleeting relief—until I met Dr. Eric Gislason and Dr. Andrea Emdee in Kalispell, MT. My first meeting with them was unexpectedly refreshing. While I was initially there to discuss marketing services for my company, The Brandgineers, I quickly discovered that their genuine concern extended far beyond business. They took the time to understand my lifestyle, health history, and the challenges that I had long accepted as part of my daily life. It was the first time anyone had asked such thoughtful, personalized questions. They didn’t just treat symptoms; they cared about my overall well-being. I remember voicing a particularly sensitive issue: my posture. Over time, I had developed a hunched back—a constant reminder of past pain and a source of deep personal insecurity. In that moment, I realized I’d been living with more than just physical discomfort; I’d also been carrying the weight of lost confidence. Now, eight months into my journey with the Gislason team, the transformation is nothing short of amazing: Neck hump? Gone. What once was a stubborn bump has completely disappeared. Flexibility reborn. I now stretch every day—and after more than 20 years, I can finally touch my toes. Posture perfected. I’ve evolved from a hunched 49-year-old man to a confident individual nearing 50. Rediscovered strength. I’ve started working out again and feel incredible. Back pain? Nearly a memory. The persistent pain that once defined my life has diminished to almost nothing. Dr. Eric and Dr. Andrea didn’t just offer treatment—they gifted me a renewed sense of hope and possibility. I am living proof that with the right care, it’s never too late to reclaim your life. I’m grateful every day for the new lease on life they’ve given me.
Dr. Eric is awesome!! My first visit he went out of his way to help me! I could barely move and he helped me on his free time! Also he helped my posterior baby turn around before labor by learning new techniques! His staff his also great. Mistina helped watch my kiddos so Dr. Eric could help me with the Webster technique for turning babies! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
