| - Dr. Nemanic is very knowledgeable, patient, and gentle. After trying chiropractics, physical therapy, and massage to heal my lower back problem, I gave up hope and decided to suck it up and just live with the discomfort and limitations.
I went to Dr. Nemanic for an unrelated back issue and mentioned the lower back. He politely asked if I wanted him to look at my lower back while handling the issue I originally came for. I said, "sure, what the hell, go for it". Without x-rays or anything else time consuming and obnoxious, he was able to clearly explain why my lower back was giving me problems and also set realistic expectations for what it would take to fix it. I am a very active individual and he appreciated that, being one himself. At no point did he even hint at stopping my activity level, or even lowering it. Instead, he gave me suggestions to enhance my activity level in a way that would help rather than hurt my body and then told me to simply listen to what my body tells me and stop when it says stop. That was an approach I could live with and even embrace.
I've only been to Dr. Nemanic one time. My back problem has existed for years, so one appointment will not fix it; something he patiently explained, even though I knew that already. However, I left my first appointment being able to bend at my waist without supporting myself on my knees or a desk. That is HUGE progress.
Whether my lower back will truly be healed or not from his help, I don't know, but I saw progress after my first appointment and have hope that Dr. Nemanic can help me when others could not. Combine the positive experience, immediate improvement in both my immediate issue and my lower back, as well as the renewal in my hope of healing my lower back and Dr. Nemanic deserves his 5 stars.
