Auto Injury
Report
Chiropractors are able to treat neck and back injuries associated with auto accidents. Many times, individuals who have been injured in a car accident experience such intense muscle pain and stiffness that they simply cannot function normally. When left untreated, this discomfort can be a serious issue.

After an auto accident, some individuals experience indicators of whiplash injuries right away, such as blurred vision, headaches, shoulder pain, dizziness, reduced range of motion and arm pain. Whiplash can also result in minor back injuries, muscle injuries, ligament problems, and disc damage. Other individuals may be injured and feel nothing at all.

Treating pain or whiplash should never be secondary to bringing your car at the mechanic or working with your insurance company. If you’ve had an auto accident recently, your first priority should be taking the initiative to visit your chiropractor!
Personal Injury
Report
Chiropractors are professionals who uncover underlying issues in personal injury accidents. Whether using a single spinal adjustment or a series of treatment, visiting a chiropractor is one of the best options to start the healing process.

If you find yourself in a personal injury accident, schedule a consultation with a chiropractor, as you may have underlying issues that we can help diagnose and treat.

Dr. Garrett and his staff are real pros. My back was in awful shape from some injuries and I feel like I've got my life back. Just amazing work.

If you take hygiene and COVID safety seriously, don't go to this place, especially if you're immunocompromised. The people in this facility might be great at their job, I didn't stick around long enough to find out. Because when someone claims to have a medical background, they should not be spouting misinformation about vaccines claiming that "vaccines spread COVID".

Let's put politics aside, I don't go to a virologist to get advice on my spinal health, so a chiropractor should not be spreading misinformation about things he Does not understand. And yes everybody can have an opinion, but not when it comes to science! Proven facts are out there, and the experts on the topic gave their verdict world wide. What i find even worse is that they do not even wipe tables after each patient, unlike the istandard in other chiropractor places i have been to during the pandemic. For those reasons they lost my business and if you take the pandemic and hygiene seriously then they should not get your business either.

Great professionalism and care are always present at this office and they are very helpful in making sure you are taken care of, squeezing you in while you are in town. Very helpful and I always stop for an adjustment and spinal decompression therapy when I'm in town between contracts.

Optimal Health Center is my new choice for all my chiropractic needs. From the moment I walk in the door, the welcome I receive from Laura makes me feel at home. Dr. Garrett's expertise in pain management/prevention mixed with his humor is a winning combination. I definitely recommend this practice to my family, coworkers and players I coach!

I've been going to see the chiropractor at this practice for 21 years. He has done miraculous work for my spinal issues. My back pain is far far more manageable because of Jim Garrett's skills.

Dr. Tyler is a godsend. Even though I live in Laramie, and contacted him initially for an emergency appointment on the weekend, he was so kind and flexible and willing to accomodate me - got me right in!

Dr. Tyler differs from other chiropractors in that inasmuch as he works to help his patients regain mobility and eliminate pain from injuries or strains, most importantly, his gift is that he works collaboratively with his patients.

His objectives center around helping you, the patient, to learn about your body, holistically, so that you may integrate the various exercises and healing modalities he will personalize to your concerns/imbalances. He is such a genuine and caring health practitioner. He is absolutely worth the trip to Fort Collins if you are not local. Dr. Tyler is extremely knowledgeable, professional, but extends patient-centered care in a truly responsive and lovely way.

I recommend Dr. Garrett and his staff for complete chiropractic care. They are very professional and helped me tremendously with a problem I was having with vertigo. I am able to function and sleep peacefully without waking up to the room spinning. Thank you Dr. Garrett and Jen for your great care. Love the office staff as well.

I haven't been to Dr. Garrett in ~3 years due to moving to CO, but when I did visit him him and his staff were amazing. They were all really good people and I completely trusted my health in Dr. Garrett's hands. I can't remember their name's but the front desk receptionist was always personable and really nice to me even reaching out when I was dealing with severe depression.

The pretty, young, blonde massage therapist is one of the best that I've ever been to. I've seen some quack chiropractor's and I've been to some top notch ones. This is what a chiropractor's office should be.

Thanks Dr. G for all you do for all of your patients. Dr. Garrett is the best chiropractor for Optimal health and wellness for your whole family. Our children have been under his care since they were only hours old.

I didn't know what a chiropractor experience was up until almost 6 years ago when me and my family started getting educated by Dr. Garrett's and his fabulous well trained staff. I can honestly say that my life and the life of my beloved ones have to change. I feel that my body functions better and I can also perform better in my daily life activities. Thank you Dr. Garrett for being such a blessing and help in our lives. Hugo R.

Dr. Garrett is the best! I have worked in healthcare for many years and haven't ever encountered a Doctor and Staff that care about people and their health as much as everyone from Optimal Health Center! Thank You everyone, you treat me like family not JUST a patient.

This is a wonderful chiropractic office! I was treated during pregnancy and Dr. Garrett was so knowledgable and helped ease so much of the third trimester pains. Delivery and recovery was VERY fast and I KNOW a lot of that is due to Dr. Garrett's care during and after pregnancy. He also is very knowledgable on how to treat children with chiropractic adjustments as I have my toddler and newborn regularly adjusted. What I also love are the great family plans that are very affordable and cover the whole family. I HAVE and will continue to HIGHLY recommend this practice.

Dr. Garrett and his team are genuinely concerned about my family's well being. We have been seeing Doc for 10 years and my overall well being has improved dramatically since my initial visit. My wife and children see him weekly for adjustments as well. Adjustments with massage from Jen keep our spines aligned and body's healthy. Thank you for all you do for us!

Dr. Garrett is the best, always there to help, I have been going to Dr. G. for years and wish he and staff would move up to the mountains, Payson, as it would be easier for me to see him:) Jenn is awesome and I always feel much better when I see her. You all need to come up to the mountains. thanks much for all the great treatments.
