It has taken patience, but with his care and knowledge I am virtually pain free and am returning to the activities that I had to avoid for months.

"I was suffering with lower back pain for months, a reoccurrence of an injury from years earlier. The symptoms and pain had disappeared for years and I assumed the injury had taken care of itself. It was now worse than ever and to the point that it was greatly impacting my quality of life.

I was constantly in pain and it was stopping me from many of the activities I enjoy. I was trying to fix the problem myself through rest, stretching, heat, ice, aspirin, you name it... Nothing was helping the pain was increasing.

After a few months I finally came into to Dr. Arthur looking, more like begging, for help. It has taken patience, but with his care and knowledge I am virtually pain free and am returning to the activities that I had to avoid for months. His caring approach and thorough knowledge of the human body, in particular the spine and nervous system, have no doubt led me down the road to recovery.

He not only treated me in the office but provided advice and simple therapies I could perform on my own. I am feeling better today and with Dr. Arthur's help am putting together a proactive approach to maintaining the integrity of my back. Thanks Dr. Arthur!"

They took the time to listen to my concerns and truly wanted to help me. I am so thankful, I found them.

"After seeing several chiropractors, I finally found one who cared about my constant soreness. Mountain Health Chiropractic and Neurology Center fixed all my aches and pains and I’ve stayed in alignment for over a year now. They took the time to listen to my concerns and truly wanted to help me. They are friendly, warm and caring people. I am so thankful, I found them."

I refer to Drs Shane Steadman and David Arthur as the WOW doctors, because they get results where others only try.

"I have sent clients, friends and family members plus used their services myself, so what I have to say about their incredible care is based not only on my own experiences but those who I have referred to Mountain Health Chiropractic & Neurology Center. 

I refer to Drs. Shane and David as the WOW doctors, because they get results where others only try. They specialize in illness and medical conditions that the normal health practitioner cannot find the answers for. They give hope and encouragement to people who have been told there is nothing we can do.

I love their philosophy of no drugs or surgery, their desire to treat patients who want to take responsibility for their health, and their passion to service them."

No other medical practitioner was able to fully understand the cause of her pain or help her, but Dr. Arthur...

"After a serious car accident recently, I had acute and unrelenting pain in my shoulder, neck and upper back. I was unable to perform even simple daily tasks. Medical doctors had given me little hope for a complete recovery.

After being treated by Dr. Arthur, the pain is much less severe, and I’m able to function more normally. Dr. Arthur took the time to patiently answer all my questions in easy-to-understand terms. My four-year-old daughter also suffered injury to her neck in the accident.

No other medical practitioner was able to fully understand the cause of her pain or help her, but Dr. Arthur was able to effectively communicate with her, identify the problem and is treating her with great effectiveness. I feel that Dr. Arthur is an unusually skillful, professional and caring practitioner and I’m very glad to have had the opportunity to be treated by him."

I want to pause a moment to thank you and your fine staff for your incredible care for me after my car accident (Jan 2004)... here it is 3 years later and I would not be better at all had it not been for you and your staff... 

"I want to pause a moment to thank you and your fine staff for your incredible care for me after my car accident (Jan 2004), when that 19 year old kid broadsided me while street racing. I know it was soft tissue damage and that is very different than broken bones, but your constant care, and the vigilance of you and your staff is so highly appreciated by me.

I had gone to you for a long time for care, but this car accident was so different because it was so abrupt — here it is 3 years later and I would not be better at all had it not been for you and your staff. 

You placed my care first and not what insurance would or would not do... and then after your faithful caring of me and the lousy insurance would only pay you for 12-months of care when you gave me 23 months — how pathetic! You had to lose on that majorily. But you are a professional caring person who thrives on giving the best professional chiropractic care that can be had.  I appreciate you and am glad that you are so delightfully young, and well skilled so you can take care of me for many years to come. Thank you!!! With deep appreciation..."

He continues to research for possible solutions and has administered a series of tests that we had not had before...

"My wife, Jan, has experienced a brain injury from a skiing accident and has had two strokes. For the past five years she has suffered from chronic imbalance and depression. She has been treated for Meniere’s Syndrome and has had a shunt placed in her brain for adult onset hydrocephalus.

She has been seen by a number of health care providers including counselors, psychiatrists, psychologists, Ear Nose and Throat (ENT's) physicians, neurologists, eye specialists, physical therapists, and balance specialists who have been unable to help her condition.  

We spent 6 weeks at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, MN. In all cases, the doctors and medical providers would eventually conclude that her condition was "very complicated" without being able to help her.

We have been impressed by Dr. Arthur's holistic approach to Jan's treatment. He has been willing to carefully review her extensive medical file and has listened to Jan's verbal explanations of what she has been experiencing.

He continues to research for possible solutions and has administered a series of tests that we had not had before. He is also addressing her nutritional deficiencies. Dr. Arthur and his associates have been most accommodating to our schedule since we must travel 5 hours to reach his office. Because of his efforts, he has developed insights into Jan's condition that were not discovered by others.  

While Jan has not been "cured", we believe we are on the path for a better life. Dr. Arthur has been careful not to raise our expectations to an unrealistic level, but we have found comfort in his commitment to us and to his practice.

Dr. Arthur appears to be well suited for those difficult cases that have not received help from more traditional treatment protocols. We highly recommend him."

After just several sessions with Dr. Steadman he was able to alleviate the symptoms...

"I had suffered with shoulder discomfort and pain for quite some time. After just several sessions with Dr. Steadman he was able to alleviate the symptoms and also able to show me exercises to strengthen this area. I now visit on an intermittent schedule and am feeling great."

I have appreciated the personal attention to my specific needs...

After a month of visits to Mountain Health & Dr. Steadman, I began to see real improvement...

"After many months of doctor visits, and drugs, there seemed to be no improvement to my numb foot and leg, which had lead to 'drop foot.' After a month of visits to Mountain Health & Dr. Steadman, I began to see real improvement to my condition, and within a few months I was well on the road to full recovery. Dr. Steadman has even gotten me off allergy medication, which is great, as I have year round allergies. Thank you!"

— T. Vechazone • Denver, Colorado

I have not had a seizure since becoming a patient at Mountain Health...

"I have had a seizure disorder for 24 years. Neurologists could not determine why it started but they put me on medications that have made me sleepy and sometimes disoriented. The doctors were not able to do anything else for me.

I was given Dr. Arthur’s name as a reference to try other options. My experience with Dr. Arthur has been great. He has tried different ways to improve my condition without prescription drugs. The treatment was easy to follow and helped improve my situation.

My physician noticed the improved and agreed to try lowering the dosage of my medication. I was able to decrease the amount of prescription drugs I was taking by half. I have become more alert and I feel better. I have not had a seizure since becoming a patient at Mountain Health. I am thankful for the care I have received by Dr. Arthur."

They always seem to know not only what the problem is, but more importantly, how to fix the underlying problem naturally without drugs or surgery.

"I am writing to express my sincere appreciation for the expertise that Mountain Health and Drs. Steadman and Arthur have provided to me and my patients over the years. As a health care practitioner, times certainly arise when you need second opinions and in fact need to refer a patient out of your office because their problems go beyond your expertise. Every time that has occurred to me I have turned to Drs. Steadman and Arthur for their council and expertise in the field of functional medicine specifically as it relates to neurology.

I have both consulted with and referred patients to them for various health care concerns including vertigo, Parkinson’s, epilepsy, chronic pain, and balance issues. They always seem to know not only what the problem is, but more importantly, how to fix the underlying problem naturally without drugs or surgery.

On numerous occasions, they have been generous enough with their time to come to my office to examine a patient I have been having difficulty with, and that type of service and commitment is always very impressive to me.

Drs. Steadman and Arthur are not only good guys, but second to none when it comes to clinical expertise."

As far as I am concerned, there is only one chiropractor and I will always recommend Dr. Arthur and Mountain Health.

"I had never visited a chiropractor in my life before going to Mountain Health. I was afraid to, so I dealt with my painful issues by trying to ignore them. After being referred to Dr. Arthur at Mountain Health by my mother, who is also a patient, I decided to continue my visits on a regular basis.

When I first met with him, I was having continuous pain in my lower back and my tailbone area was incredibly sensitive to the touch. Thankfully, Dr. Arthur has the gift of patience. After many visits, he was able to adjust my back without me practically jumping off the table in so much pain. I have had other discomforts that have hindered me from working and life in general and Dr. Arthur has always been able to successfully correct them.

As far as I am concerned, there is only one chiropractor and I will always recommend Dr. Arthur and Mountain Health."

Now I am back competing in the sports that I love.

"Several summers ago, I broke my ankle playing hockey, and also crashed on my dirtbike and received a concussion. Dr. Steadman was able to make adjustments to help move the healing process along. Now I am back competing in the sports that I love."

While talking to Dr. Arthur at a meeting he told me he could help me. I of course, did not believe him, but made an appointment. After one treatment, I never again had that pain.

"I met Dr. Arthur at a networking event through a friend of mine. I have had a back problem for 20 years that I had been told the only cure would be for me to have my spine fused together.

I had sworn off chiropractic as a choice because there was no solution for me there. I then experienced a severe eye pain that an ophthalmologist charged me a great deal of money to investigate, but then told me there was nothing wrong, ignoring the fact that I was in a great deal of pain.

While talking to Dr. Arthur at a meeting he told me he could help me. I of course did not believe him, but made an appointment. After one treatment, I never again had that pain. Who would have thought that a severe pain in my eyeball could be caused by my neck?

Dr. Arthur did a work up on my back and told me he could help my back problem. Up until this point, I could not allow anyone to touch my lower back, let alone perform any kind of adjustment. He started slowly and over the course of a year, eventually got my back to a place where he was able to not only get me relief from the muscle spasms that were causing my pain but also to get me to a place where I know that back surgery would never be a solution.

One other thing I hadn’t realized when I started going there was I was not even using my neck. When driving I was turning my body to look behind me. He also got my neck to a place where I could turn comfortably and look around me.

During the course of a year, he also provided education on supplements to assist my body in healing. He has always been open to listening to me and then sharing his knowledge with me to work as a team to get me to a better place.

His methodology of adjustments is also not at all threatening or scary. I never left his office feeling like I had been 'thumped' around. It has been a great experience knowing Dr. Arthur and the staff at Mountain Health and I appreciate what they have been able to do to aide me in achieving better health."

I have been to 14 chiropractors in 4 different states to date, and can most assuredly verify that Dr. Steadman is outstanding in his field.

"I'm 36 years old and have a degree in mechanical engineering. I worked several years and then stayed home to raise our children. My hobby became an at-home career and I ran a successful violin studio and performed locally.

In 2003 I lost the use of my arms. The pain was incredible and I couldn't lift a coffee mug.  After going through the conventional medicine route with only increasing pain, I decided to try chiropractic. I did get immediate relief with my arms, but my injury/issues were more complex than basic chiropractors could comprehend or fix. Sadly the muscle spasms in my back were so great I would stand slightly tilted to my left and could no longer stand upright. Being heavily trained in problem solving (engineer!), I asked many questions and somehow still trusted that chiropractic had an answer for me.

I got referred to a lot of chiropractors over 9 months, but the results were the same, pain and listing, until I landed in a chiropractor neurologists office. Dr. Gail Henry was different.  She was checking the functionality of each quadrant of my brain, for both sending and receiving messages. Every section of my nervous system was checked. Her spinal manipulations were completely different than any I'd seen before. After she completed them, she went back and checked my nervous system function again to assure she'd fixed what she intended. She actually checked her work! (Valuable to
the engineer in me!)  

Standard chiropractors had just popped my back and told me it was fine and when it wasn't, there was no diagnostic process available to them. Chiropractic neurologists actually have the neurologic training necessary to diagnose and test the changes made to your nervous system through chiropractic.  

To me, the blind spot basic DC's have in this area is huge. What a difference to know what is going on through the adjustment. After my first visit, I was able to stand straight. I could tell it was different. I wish I could say that was all it took, but I had a lot of exercises to do to get my "bum cerebellum" functioning at a level it never had before.  

During this process my family moved from Texas to Colorado. I realized my chiropractic care was way more specialized than the average DC could provide. My search lead me to Dr. Shane Steadman in Denver whose training in chiropractic neurology made it possible to understand the details of my care in Texas.  

Dr. Steadman truly stands out amongst health practitioners in his humility (i.e. no big doctor's ego) and his amazing breadth of understanding of other types of health care. His openness and knowledge to other forms of care are a great asset to any patient. Dr. Steadman has had the privelege to study with many great chiropractors and the skill level in his hands is far more advanced than the average DC. Chiropractic is a great science, and chiropractic neurology is ever so more complete, but it does come down to the art and skill in the hands of the individual practitioner.  

I have been to 14 chiropractors in 4 different states to date, and can most assuredly verify that Dr. Steadman is outstanding in his field. Incidentally, in my search, I have also been to MD neurologists and the difference in diagnostics to chiropractic neurologists is a huge gap as well.  

The chiropractic neurologists did so many more non-invasive checks, the result was a much more complete picture of my CNS in just 20-30 minutes. The MD's look at function as either "on" or "off" while the chiropractic neurologists are able to differentiate "weakened" or "sub-optimal" performance to identify more subtle issues.

Moreover, the chiropractic neurologist possesses the ability to fix the subtle abnormalities, whereas the MD neurologist is not trained in spinal manipulation or non-invasive techniques for rehabilitation."

Through Chiropractic Neurology, my reading comprehension has increased as well as my hearing, slowly, but surely by treating different parts of my brain.

"Over the past two years, I have been introduced to a way of treatment that was very unknown to me. My family seems to shy away from alternative medicine toward prescriptions for treatment. With my treatments at Mountain Health, I have noticed more of an improvement than I have ever had in my life.

When I was born, the hospital diagnosed me with hearing loss in my right ear. I wasn’t a very active baby in the womb and this is part of why they think that my hearing growth was stunted. They put tubes in my ears, which eventually feel out. My reading comprehension suffered, I thought, because of my hearing loss. My fiancee was seeing Dr. David Arthur for a brain trauma injury so I looked into treatment for myself. Since I am considering a career in musical performance, something that you definitely need is your hearing.

Through Chiropractic Neurology, my reading comprehension has increased as well as my hearing, slowly but surely by treating different parts of my brain. I am very impressed with Dr. Arthur’s neck adjustments, which is something I get tense about because of my unfamiliarity with this type of medical treatment. I have only been receiving chiropractic care for close to two years now and I must say that this office’s way of treatment is most effective."

Under Dr. Steadman's care my back discomfort has gone from a 7-8 on the pain/discomfort scale to a 3-4.

"I have severe scoliosis. Under Dr. Steadman's care my back discomfort has gone from a 7-8 on the pain/discomfort scale to a 3-4. Some days or parts of days there is no discomfort. Now, I can lead a more 'normal' life without as much pain or discomfort.
 
Dr Steadman's knowledge, caring attitude, ability to educate his patients, ability to really listen to people and 'retrain' the patient's body, allow me to refer him to others without any hesitation."

Because of his treatment and nutritional advice, I am able to run, jump, lift, and in general perform better as an athlete.

"After several years of college football my body had began to wear down. In a period of 10 months, I had under gone two knee surgeries without the problem being fixed. Dr. Arthur looked at not only my body but also my training habits and lifestyle in order to fix the problem. He found a flaw in my technique that traditional medicine would have never found and would of caused me to have gone through life with knee problems and pain.

After coming to Dr. Arthur and receiving treatment, I have had little to no inflammation in my knees, rather than like in the past where after every work out my knees would swell and cause me pain. Because of his treatment and nutritional advice, I am able to run, jump, lift, and in general perform better as an athlete."

Ben went in for is first visit 18 months ago and since then he has been free of the Zyrtec and Singulair completely...

"I have a son that has been going to see Dr. Steadman since July 2005. Before we went into the chiropractic office he was having trouble with allergies and asthma. Ben was taking several drugs on a daily bases he was on Zyrtec, Singulair, and Albuterol. While he was taken these drugs he would have awful mode swings, one minute he would be nice but in the next he could be really mean.

As a mom you know that those actions aren’t coming from your kid it was a result of all the different drugs in his body. But your child has to breathe so we figured we would just have to live with these mode swings until a new drug came out to help him.

Until we took him into see Dr. Steadman. He had told us that he could help us, we were a little skeptical about how much he would really be able to help. Ben went in for is first visit 18 months ago and since then he has been free of the Zyrtec and Singulair completely and we only use the Albuterol about once every six to nine months when the environmental allergies cause him to really have trouble breathing or when he gets a chest cold.

Ben has only had to go into see Dr. Steadman a handful of times to get adjustments. Ben knows when it is time he will ask to go to the “popcorn doctor” which is what he calls Dr. Steadman. We keep Ben on a good diet to help with the allergies and to keep his body healthy we also give him some vitamins that help build his immune system, but other than that he is clean of drugs and problems since we started with Mountain Health."

I would highly recommend Dr. Arthur and Mountain Health to any and all who suffers from pain, injury or discomfort.

"Prior to coming to the practice, I suffered from reoccurring and predictable discomfort exacerbated by regular exercise. The original cause was a rotator cuff injury, which never totally healed and was an ongoing source of discomfort and headache, which plagued me for years.

If I “slept wrong” (which was half the time) the following days discomfort and neck tension would sap my energy and not allow me to live my active life to the fullest. I was told by others to go see a doctor, a medical doctor, who would “give me something” for the pain. Thankfully, that is not what I did, as I knew that the treatment would be drugs or worse yet, surgery.

I have had experience with chiropractic in the past with very good success. I was referred to this particular practice by my personal trainer and found that I always felt better after leaving the office. Even though I was not “healed immediately”, the process of bi-weekly chiropractic enabled me to put this injury in my past.

One other benefit that I experienced was the continued feeling of well being, which is hard to describe, and I attribute it to the post-recovery continuation of regular chiropractic neurology by Dr. Arthur. After healing, I always looked forward to my regular preventive chiropractic treatment by Dr. Arthur.

I am very impressed by Dr. Arthur’s care and scope of knowledge for I am one who asks a lot of questions and felt comfortable in the answers that I received. I would highly recommend Dr. Arthur and Mountain Health to any and all who suffers from pain, injury or discomfort. I am a friend of the practice. Many Regards."
