Dr. Brown is excellent! I see him because I have chronic daily headaches/migraines and neck pain. He does dry needling every visit and it dramatically helps relieve my pain and tension. He knows what he's doing! I have received dry needling as a treatment by several chiropractors and physical therapists and Dr. Brown has been the best at it. I highly recommend Denver Chiropractic. I feel very comfortable in the office and I always leave feeling better. Everyone is also very friendly!

I have been here twice now and both times I have left feeling infinitely better than I thought I could. The office itself is quiet and calming and the staff is very welcoming. I had the pleasure of seeing Dr. Steven Brown, whose (seemingly) simple realignment techniques put my back into a much more comfortable position. He is extremely friendly and personable, and made both of my office visits feel unique and valuable. Dr. Brown did an excellent job explaining all of the techniques he was using and what they would do to help straighten out my back. I really appreciate his down-to-earth approach and his overall friendliness during my visits. After each visit I felt like I was much closer to feeling fully aligned as my back should be; my posture has improved, the general stiffness in my back has decreased, and overall I feel much more comfortable on a day-to-day basis thanks to the work Dr. Brown did. I highly recommend this office!

I have been going here for about 6 months for upper back and shoulder pain from too much computer time. I have always had a great experience and the doctors are caring, professional, and effective. This was my first experience with a chiropractor and I am glad I decided to try it out. Highly recommended!

I have been a patient at Denver Chiropractic for about a month now, and the treatment that I received from three of the providers was exceptional. Dr Artichoker helped resolve a hamstring issue, and Dr Gruber was so attentive when I had acute back pain.Dr Brown goes above & beyond to not only treat your problem, but he also addresses the underlying causes. Another major plus is the friendly staff, I never have any difficulties scheduling my appointment. As a fitness professional & competitive athlete, it is imperative that I keep my body healthy, and this clinic will continue to be a definite go-to for all of my Chiropractic needs..10 Stars!!!

After being in a lot of pain Denver Chiropractic solved my immediate lower back problem and prescribed a maintenance plan to help keep a healthy back. The office is always helpful and accommodates my schedule.I have always been skeptical of Chiropractic and holistic medicine. Now I am convinced that there is good science and knowledge behind the treatment and resolution. Dr. Graber provided detailed explanations and treatment plans.

Dr. Brown is a great guy, a knowledgeable chiropractor, and the reason I no longer live with lower back pain. I have always suffered from chronic back pain that began when I would wake up and persist throughout the day. I've seen Dr. Brown around 5 times now, and between the work he does in the office and the stretches he prescribed (to be done each morning), I feel noticeably better. I recommend his services to anyone with chronic lower back pain.

After hearing my husband's wonderful experience at Denver Chiropractic LLC, I have decided to go in for a consultation as well. I have been seeing Dr. Brown and he has helped me so much with lower leg pain. After 3 visits I felt brand new and felt ready to tackle running training again. He prescribed me some roll foaming stretches and exercises to do on a daily bases, and the pain vanished. He is very knowledgeable, understanding, patient, and trustworthy doctor. The staff is very friendly and professional as well. My husband and I are so happy to have found such a great facility! I highly recommend it!

I have an autoimmune disorder. Regular massage, chiropractic care, and a good diet keep me off the pain medss and my pain well-controlled. I really love this practice. The front desk staff is efficient and the appointments are always on time. I see Dr. Sheppard. She takes the time to listen to my concerns and asks excellent questions. She routinely uses a tens unit, heat, and a massager to prepare my body before any manipulation. It relaxes me so I can get the most out of my adjustment. Yesterday I went in with a vice like headache that had been with me for 24 hours, and I walked out headache-free! Today I'm still feeling fine. I do not use insurance (though they do take it), and the cost is affordable. I have never had a bad experience with Denver Chiropractic!

Dr. Graber is amazing! Each time I go in with a new running injury, she helps me get back to healthy and pain free, often times in just one visit! She is so smart and always manages to adjust me, even when my muscles are tight. I highly recommend her to anyone that is training for a race or has any kind of pain.

I have been going to Denver Chiropractic for the past few months now on a weekly, now bi-weekly basis. I have suffered on and off for years now with lower back issues, especially in the sciatic area. I work on my feet, and I love to skateboard, and recently the pain had become so detrimental, it was a struggle to do either. I have always been stubborn, and always tried to convince myself that I could fix it, or that it might just go away. Finally I accepted that this was out of my hands. I began going to Denver Chiropractic, primarily for the location (my neighborhood), and other positive reviews. I began seeing Dr. Alexa Sheppard, and within a matter of a couple visits I could feel things begin to feel better. My visit would start with electronic stimulation with heat, followed by a table that would stretch and adjust my back, and ending with a physical adjustment. This routine was not only very helpful, but very relaxing in the process. Dr. Sheppard would also give me advice on things I could do at home, to continue combating the damage that I had done to my body, and insure that the work we were doing was not a waste. I feel a great improvement in such a short time. When I skate, I feel 16 again, (I'm about to turn 30), and I don't dread going to work and using my body. My state of mind is much more positive as well, knowing that there are people who can really help you fix your problems.Denver Chiropractic overall has been an excellent experience. Everyone who works there, from the front desk and back, is not only very professional, but very welcoming, warm, and inviting. Even though I'm feeling great I will continue to go for basic maintenance, and I would recommend anyone to go here!

I have had constant mid-upper back pain for years now due to my heavy chest heavy weighing me down. I have had to constantly overcompensate my chest and mid-upper back muscles to hold up my chest which has caused a lot of pain in those areas. Over the years, I just ignored it thinking it would eventually go away, but the pain was still there so I knew I had to go see a chiropractor.I was referred by my friend, Colleen Kelley, to go see Dr. Alexa Sheppard, at Denver Chiropractic, LLC. Dr. Sheppard was phenomenal. I had never been to a chiropractor office nor had I ever had an appt. with a chiropractor before so I was a little nervous about how this process was going to go. Dr. Sheppard showed me around the office and introduced me to other staff members, making me feel right at home. Instead of getting right into her routine exam questions, she asked how my day was going, where I live in Denver, when I moved here, what I do for a living, etc. which made me feel like she really wanted to get to know me as a person, not just as a patient.Dr. Sheppard was extremely thorough in taking down notes about my back pain. She asked me very detail-oriented and professional questions about my situation so I knew I was in good hands. Not only were the adjustments and treatment during my session super helpful, Dr. Sheppard explained to me in detail exactly what she was doing to relieve the pain in my mid and upper back areas where the pain was most prominent.I have been seeing Dr. Sheppard a few times now and she has tremendously helped lower the pain level in my mid and upper back area. She also showed me a few exercises I can do at home that will help relieve the pain. She is extremely knowledgeable, supportive, a great listener, trustworthy, professional, and patient with me. I'm so glad I was able to find such a wonderful chiropractor who understands my needs and genuinely wants to relieve my back pain as much as I do. Denver Chiropractic, LLC is the best and I highly recommend going to see Dr. Sheppard! Trust me, you won't regret it :)

I began going to Denver Chiropractic for my shin splints, and specifically to have dry needling treatment. I am a runner, and had been experiencing shin splints off/on over several months. I was set up with Dr. Steve Brown, who himself is a runner, athlete, and immediately felt comfortable and at ease, that I was seeing someone who understood my concerns and was an expert in treating my injury. He made an overall assessment, and then treated my shin splints with dry needling, ART, and graston. He gave me exercises to help build my stability and guided me through building my mileage back up. Very grateful to Dr. Brown for his knowledge and careful attention.I returned recently due to a should issue (impinged) and he has been just as knowledgeable, using dry needling, muscle stimulation,, exercises. I highly recommend Dr. Steve Brown and Denver Chiropractic, LLC to anyone who is looking/needing an excellent chiropractor.

The thing that I like the most is that the doctors here are always educating themselves, finding other ways to help their patients. I've been to many chiropractors who just crack backs, and that's it. But here they have multiple treatments that fit your needs. Come in, say hi and see what I'm talking about. Amazing doctors, clean and comfortable office.

I had a surprisingly wonderful experience here with Alexa Sheppard. I came in for immobilizing shoulder pain and muscle spasms.They squeezed me in for a new patient appointment right away on the same day I called. After initial consult and x-rays it became clear that it was really my neck that was in bad shape and causing the extreme shoulder pain. My first session was on a Friday and I came in the next Monday, Wednesday and Friday. I had almost no range of motion in my neck on the first day and by the next Friday (only one week and four adjustments later) I was 100% pain free with full range of motion and rotation back in my neck. I honestly thought this would be a lengthy process and was skeptical of it working much at all. It’s worth mentioning that I had a rather upsetting previous chiropractic experience and was afraid to come in at all. When I mentioned to Alexa that I was feeling a bit nervous about the adjustment she was so understanding and accommodating.

I’ve had a great experience with Denver Chiropractic! The environment is clean and inviting, and their staff are always very friendly! I began using Denver Chiropractic to help realign some rotation and compression in my neck, and have had nothing short of a phenomenal experience with their treatment. My injuries are 10+ years old, and we’re working with a fair amount of scar tissue. The Graston treatment I received, in addition to adjustments, have been a game changer in my speed-of-recovery. My neck and shoulder mobility have improved greatly, and my headaches and neck pain are gone! Thanks for the consistently great care!

Dr. Trent Artichoker is amazing. I have been dealing with issues in my lower back and hips because I sit too much for work. I saw Dr. Artichoker twice for adjustments and felt immediately relieved. What made me really impressed though was his feedback and coaching me to have better posture. He gave me a couple of foundational exercises to do when I stand up and it made a huge difference. 10/10 would recommend :-)

After moving two houses into one home with multiple stories, I knew I had hurt my lower back and needed a professional ASAP. I called Denver Chiropractic and they were able to see me the next day. Dr. Sheppard took the time to understand my concerns and pinpoint the pain. Fortunately it was only muscle related pain so Dr. Sheppard used a variety of techniques to work on my back including stem, cupping, massage, and adjustment. After 30 minutes I was feeling incredible; it was the first time I hadn't had pain since my move.Dr. Sheppard suggested some great at home remedies. Along with doing those and coming in to see her a few times since the move I can now say that after four appointments I am entirely pain free. There is truly nothing worse than back pain and I owe it all to Dr. Sheppard and Denver Chiropractic for getting me back to a pain free day.

My experience working with Dr. Brown at Denver Chiropractic has been very positive. I have chronic neck pain and with his skilled services pain is lessoned after each treatment and I take far fewer pain medications. Because I also have positional vertigo, they have found ways to treat my condition without causing me to spin. When I’ve needed ultra sound, dry needling, or other treatments in addition to manipulation, they have easily provide those services. The staff is helpful, caring, and friendly. I have been using their services for years and plan to continue to do so.

Denver chiropractic has been so helpful for me. I had disrupted my SI joint function walking dogs. As a full time 1st grade teacher, I was struggling with day to day activities I needed for work. Thanks to Laura Graber, I didn’t have to miss any days. She got me in an SI belt to assist with work while we met weekly to heal my spine. Her combination of electrode therapy (forgive me if that’s incorrect), adjustments, and stretches were familiar to me and the flexible scheduling was exactly what I needed with long work hours. They kept me at the same low base fee for ALL of these treatments. After less than 2 months of care, I am back to my daily living activities hiking, biking, and teaching. Thanks denver chiropractic!

Denver Chiropractic was recommended to me by a coworker and the treatment I received was fantastic! The front office staff is always welcoming, friendly and helpful. I went to them because I had stress in my neck and shoulders and had slept wrong, causing numbness in my fingers. This was very uncomfortable and irritating! I saw Dr. Steve Brown and he was very personable and listened closely to my issues. He explained why I was experiencing the numbness and how it could be corrected. He began treatment with adjustments and then added dry needling along my neck and arm. I had never experienced this before. It was a very different type of treatment, but I can guarantee it definitely works! After only 3 treatments of dry needling, I had all feeling back in my fingers. I continue to see Dr. Brown on a regular basis for adjustments to prevent this from happening again. I am glad my coworker referred me to Denver Chiropractic. I highly recommend them!

Five stars to Dr. Alexa Sheppard at Denver Chiropractic LLC. I found Dr. Sheppard after recently moving to Denver and absolutely feel that she is an expert in her field and an expert in caring for her patients. Dr. Sheppard has been able to use various chiropractic techniques to resolve my back and jaw pain. She always thoroughly explains what she is doing, what is causing the pain/problem, and gives me exercises to do at home. I always feel comfortable in her care and am very happy to have found her in Denver.

I am happy to have found Denver Chiropractic! This particular location was recommended to me by a friend. After a snowboarding accident a few months back which threw my neck out of whack, I've been suffering migraines, shoulder and neck pain to the point of immobility, and a general lack of wellbeing due to the constant pain. After consistently seeing a massage therapist for months, I was referred to this chiropractic facility to combine spinal adjustments with the muscle work. It was my first time visiting a chiropractor, and I felt immediate and intense relief. Dr Alexa Sheppard made me feel comfortable and heard. She took a holistic approach to my issues, then focused on the parts of my body that need it most. She used heat and electrical pulse pads to relax the muscles in my neck and shoulders. She then used quick and firm manipulation to crack my neck and back. This did volumes to loosen up the tightness in and around my neck, and after one visit my massage therapist was able to make progress we hadn't seen in months of consistent visits. The relief transferred to other parts of my chest and shoulders which we are now able to work on more effectively. Dr Sheppard communicates to me what I experience from an anatomical perspective, and gives me the tools and spinal relief to move forward healthily. I recommend this facility and doctor to others experiencing similar issues.

Dr. Sheppard has really helped me. She pays a lot of attention to the different causes of my pain-- and for me it's a lot to do with muscle tension. I always feel better when I leave. I was dealing with probably 8/10 level pain and am down to 0-5/10 most days now! Huge success-- would definitely recommend Dr. Sheppard.

I’ve had nothing but good experiences with Dr. Graber. I found her because of her specialty in prenatal chiropractic but would recommend her to anyone. The laser treatment has been especially helpful. Schedule availability has never been an issue and the whole staff very friendly.

I was referred to Denver Chiropractic by a friend and decided to stop in for a treatment. I was dealing with a bit of low back pain along with some sharp pains when I took a deep breath. I requested Dr. Alexa Sheppard per her stellar reviews and reputation. She asked me where the problem areas were, how much pain I was feeling, and then went to work. She was thorough, understanding and very knowledgeable and knew exactly what treatments to provide to help with the pain. Overall the experience was incredible; She was extremely professional and educated me on causes for the pain, treatment outside of the office, and ways to prevent pain from flaring up. I HIGHLY recommend seeing Dr. Alexa Sheppard at Denver Chiropractic. She will be my Chiropractor for life!

I went to see Dr. Alexa Sheppard for some real back pain. She took the time to evaluate me throughly and understand the pain I was having. I left the apt feeling so much better!! I will definitely be back to see her. She truly cares about her patients and is wonderful at what she does!

Maria Almaraz

I’ve had a very good experience here. Dr. Laura is very friendly and knows what she is doing. I will definitely be back!! I was so sick and after she has taken care of me I have started to feel so much better. I am glad I went to her office and am thankful for her services!

I recently started seeing Dr. Sheppard and have been really happy with the results so far. I came with a lot of tightness in my neck, shoulders, and hips and some acute pain happening in these areas. After my seconds visit, I felt a noticeable difference in my mobility and a substantial decrease in my overall pain. She has been great with talking me through each adjustment and has given some great advice for at home care. Really happy I found this place and highly recommend to anyone dealing with any back discomfort and pain.

I have experienced muscle tightness in my legs and lower back pain since I can remember. Because I love to run and now in my later years play golf, I am always trying to care for myself without surgery. So, stretching, hot and cold treatments, and support tape usually keep me going. But, one of my most pleasant surprises came last summer when Dr. Artichoker added “dry needling” to my regular chiropractic back adjustment. I immediately realized that my leg muscle tightness was associated with (and a principle cause of) my lower back pain. Now I know I must treat my back and legs together. Not only is my lower back pain greatly reduced, but I have better range of motion, faster recovery from my workouts and my muscle tone is balanced and smooth. Dr. Artichoker’s dry needle treatments have shown that my body pains in my legs and lower back are totally integrated, and this larger view of how my body recovers is exactly what I needed...

I've seen several chiropractors at Denver Chiropractic since moving to the neighborhood 3 years ago. All of them have been friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. Not only do they provide excellent care and get me back to normal quickly, but they also provide tips to prevent future injuries. I also appreciate that it's always easy to schedule an appointment. Overall, I highly recommend this practice!

I was in a car accident at 28 weeks pregnant and hurt my back. I started getting treatment from Dr Laura Graber right away and throughout the rest of the pregnancy. She has used heating and different massaging techniques that have really helped my back. She is very knowledgeable and is very thorough in explaining everything to me as she treats me. I would highly recommend her for your treatments.

Steve Leong

I hurt my shoulder a couple months ago and discovered this place through Yelp recommendation. Their staff is very friendly and Dr. Sheperd is great to work with. She cares about her patient and used different treatment methods based on individual needs. I recommend going to this place for their service as well as reasonable price.

I highly recommend Denver Chiropractic. I have seen 3 people there, all of which have been excellent. Most frequently I have seen Dr Brown for a combination of adjustment, dry needling, ART and some Grastin. As an athlete I have seen continuous improvement of my piriformis and hamstring injury. Dr Brown has given me exercises and stretches, as well as great advice to incorporate into my training between sessions, so not only have I felt the impact of the session itself but have had something tangible to work on in-between for my strength and healing. He has always been positive and encouraging. Although these are intense techniques, and am typically sore that day and the next, then I have seen marked improvement. I would definitely recommend this practice to any athlete who is struggling with rehabbing an injury as effectively as possible and wants knowledgeable practitioners!

David Tubbs

17:01 15 Sep 18

I have been seeing Dr. Brown for over 2 years. He has been providing excellent preventative care and relief care using ART (Active release techniques). I always feel relief after an adjustment/visit. In addition, the office is always great at scheduling and rescheduling appointments.

This is a great practice! I threw out my back for the first time and Dr. Graber was so helpful. They were able to take X-rays, work through my back issues and address a few other issues as well. They are very patient and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
