I drove a truck and delivered freight for 30 plus years. During that time I developed some back pain & knee problems. I fell off the back of a trailer in 1998. I think that is when my back problems really started. I have had 7 knee surgeries over the years, however it was not serious enough for knee replacement after arthritis set in. I figured that I would have to live with the pain. Last February my daughter started seeing Dr Holten. During this time I have seen great improvements with her. My wife then started being a patient. She has had shoulder problems & knee problems over the years. I saw great improvements in both these areas. She was not able to lift her arms over her head, now she can. I see her walking more and she lost 40 lbs. This is when I woke up & joined the Holten Family. I have been here approx. 8 weeks and cannot tell you what a change I have experienced. I walk every day and I go up & down the stairs with no problems. I am doing things that I never thought I would ever do again. I am sleeping better. I just wish that I would have found this 10 years ago. Every day at the Holten Family from top to bottom has made me feel better about myself. From the time I get here from my warm ups to my back & neck adjustment and soon to be Rehab I can't Thank Them Enough!!!!

I could not do my job and I was becoming more depressed everyday. I came upon Holten Wellness Center and someone was looking after me. After just a few treatments my back was getting much better and my mood was beginning to lift. The staff here are so helpful, they really care about you. They want you to become healthy and after awhile you feel like Holten's is your healing family. They are on your side. I am so thankful I came here.
I am back at work now, I have no pain, I'm like a new person. I do the happy dance everyday. Thank you.
I encourage you to come to Holten Wellness Center. The staff can help. You can be Pain Free and you can do the Happy Dance too.
NO PAIN. Life is Good.

But during the last two years I have been experiencing more stiffness throughout my back making doing everyday tasks difficult. Then one day in April of this year, I awoke with such pain in my lower back that I had great difficulty getting out of bed. The fear of losing my independence because I couldn't take care of myself became very real to me. I knew I had to do something different.
My chiropractor was out of town, so I began looking in the phone book for a new place and was drawn to the Holten Wellness Center. I thought I had seen Dr. Holten one other time. I called and my new treatment began that day.
Everyone connected with HWC has taken the necessary time and effort to explain to me my treatment plan as well as answering my questions. The entire staff is professional, friendly, caring and kind. The positive attitude and pleasant surroundings make me feel they have my best interests at heart. What a difference these 3 months have made to my well being! The burning sensation and pain in my lower and mid back are all but gone. I have more movement in my back and now feel like being more active. The simple act of walking, getting out of a chair, getting in and out of a car, sitting comfortably through a movie and going up and down stairs are some of the things I am now able to do so much easier. Also my posture has improved. I now have more energy since it is not being used doing these ordinary tasks.
I am now ready to begin the rehabilitation portion of my program. Even though exercise is not on my list of favorite things to do, I realize I need to strengthen my body to be able to maintain the benefits I have gained. I have confidence that HWC will teach me strategies for life-long success to maintain my independence for many more years.

I was introduced to the Center through a friend who provided me with a free massage. I was hooked. I was experiencing lower back, neck pain and headaches, deriving from trying to break up a fight in my classroom. I met with Dr. Holten and was informed of the issues and started the adjustments and rehabilitation program. As I was completing the program I was involved in a car accident and found myself back at the beginning. Dr. Holten encouraged me to remain focused and proceed through the program again. Mr. Mark, Dan, Julie and the front desk have been amazing cheerleaders, encouraging me from the moment I walk in the front door, through the adjustments and the difficulties of the rehabilitation. All through the process, I have been instructed and informed on how to improve my life through Chiropractic adjustments and strengthening exercises. Jodee has been a gift, informing me on how to proceed with the financials and billings. Thank you everyone.

Grasping for the edge of a table or lunging for the wall or door to support yourself – in fear that at any moment you’ll fall to floor. Searing pain shoots through your hips and the sound of your hip bones popping is so loud your co-workers can hear it during conference calls. After six to eight weeks of intensifying pain; you know you have to do something.
The only chiropractors who have ever adjusted me are my brother and his fiancé; but they live in New Jersey. I know that officially I should have x-rays on file before a chiropractor will even touch you and I didn’t have the option of pain killers because they might hurt the baby. So I thought I would take a chance and throw myself on the mercy of some kind and empathic chiropractor. I focused my search on Palmer graduates (as that is the school where my brother and his fiancé graduated and I agree with their overall philosophy of healthy living) and found the Holten Natural Living Center.
I called and explained my situation – not only did they tell me to come on in … I got in THAT afternoon. Dr. Julie Kruse sat down with me and got my history. She explained what could and could not be done due to my pregnancy – and then did a light adjustment on my hips, back, and shoulders. When I left that day, for the first time in over a month I could walk without cringing. I was asked to come in twice a week till my delivery; every adjustment from that point on has decreased my pain to the point where I can dance my way out of the office.
I can’t even begin to explain how Dr. Julie and Dr. Jack – and the entire staff – have helped me. I’m much more relaxed and I am no longer fearful of falling. Walking is the healthiest and easiest exercise while pregnant; and now I can walk almost completely pain-free and without fear.
Dr. Julie and I have a plan of attack for after the baby comes; waiting till my hips move back to their normal position and then getting me on a healthy adjustment regimen. I’m grateful that I’ve found such a warm, caring practice – where the staff is given the flexibility to solve a problem and care for a patient then dictated to follow a strict set of rules.
Barbara E.Everyone has been so great, very friendly and helpful! My lower back has bothered me for years and now I can’t believe how much better it feels! Amazing! Thank you so much!

I was in my first car accident on Easter, 3-23-08 and was rear ended. After the accident I was in so much pain. My back and neck hurt to the point where I laid in bed all day. My thoughts were, ‘I am only 19 and I don’t want surgery.’ I thought that was all I could do. I had never been to a chiropractor before and was pretty nervous…..not anymore! I am thankful every day that my mom found Holten Wellness Center. I am feeling so much better! I still have work to do but I know with the staff here, I will be fine and get well. Now I know what it is like to go somewhere that everybody knows your name! I feel welcomed and this is my family. Thank you all for everything!!

Since 3 doctors told me my weight gain was due to my age, I decided to try one more thing. It was the best thing I could have done for myself.
The cleansing program was the best part. I lost weight and my health problems, the doctors said they couldn’t do anything with, went away. My wellness coach has taught me so many new things I never knew.
It’s nice to have someone so happy and who has so much knowledge. Everyone here is so great, they are always friendly and smiling, this makes a big difference in making you feel good. This program is the best, I’m very glad I found them!!

I went to the doctor to get my A1-C checked (I was pre-diabetic and he was recommending Glucophage on my last visit). My level had gone DOWN since my last visit and he said I didn't need medication! He said ‘just keep doing what you're doing’.
I went out to eat with some friends and got a shrimp salad, which is usually my favorite. It didn't taste as good as I remember and I found myself thinking, ‘You know, I'd rather be home having my hummus and crackers’.
This is the first gung-ho thing I've ever done!
I now realize I've known this for a long time (re: my addiction to food and overeating), but now I am finally accepting it.
I will have to deal with this the rest of my life - and I may not always make the best decision - but I don't have to beat myself up about it and can keep my healthy awareness/perspective.
I am SOOOO glad I heard this on the radio! You have to WANT to do this! If you can get through the first week (the cleanse) you'll be fine. If you're really serious about it, just do it!
Put the financial amount into perspective. I think back about all the money I spent on special diet programs and their food, most of what I didn't like or couldn't eat. And those didn't even come with counseling.

Before I was having pain daily and taking several prescriptions to help control the pain. I was unable to sleep leaving me tired all day. Getting out of bed, walking up and down stairs, and working daily was painful. I first started with massages, then decided to seek chiropractic care. Several months later I began the Wellness Program. By utilizing all three programs offered I have stopped many of my medications, no longer have daily pain, and have been able to participate in activities I had stopped due to pain. My energy is coming back and I have been sleeping thru the night. Everyone at Holten Wellness Center has been very supportive in helping me regain a healthy, pain free lifestyle.

The 1st week of June 2008 my daughters, grandchildren and I went to Charleston South Carolina on vacation. One afternoon we went into Old Charleston to the Market Place. While my family was busy browsing the little shops and booths I was busy trying to find a place to sit down. As my family’s shopping area widened so did my hunt. I was sitting on shop stoops, benches and even curbs. My back hurt so badly that I was unable to stand for more than a few minutes at a time. Needless to say, I did not enjoy our shopping spree. In Sept. 2006, thru an MRI, I was diagnosed with bulging discs at L1-2-3-4 and lumbar stenosis L4-5 with 2 bone spurs at L4-5. I went to a prominent neurosurgeon in the area and was told my only recourse was to have back surgery. Having a friend who had had back surgery within the past 5 years and were once again experiencing debilitating back pain I looked for another option. Ads for Holten Back and Neck kept popping up on TV and in the newspaper. I started my decompression therapy in July for 6 weeks and 6 weeks of physical therapy followed. The results were wonderful. October 22, 2008 I returned from a 9 day trip to San Francisco and the Grand Canyon where I walked the hills of San Francisco and stood at the rim of the Grand Canyon. So again, I say Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

I initially came to the Holten Center because of my severe back pain and started regular sessions of massage therapy. My time spent there was increasingly beneficial after a personal consultation with Dr. Holten, I was informed about the array of other programs and opportunities that the center offered and very optimistically signed myself and my three daughters up for endermologie. We were very eager to begin our sessions and our high expectations were quickly met. During the process I was extremely impressed with my gradual results. I didn’t realize just how amazing the treatment was until the end when I had my measurements taken. I had lost a total of twenty-one inches!! Not only was I incredibly shocked but I felt unbelievably fulfilled.
I also signed up my daughters for the wellness program. The meetings helped them to fully understand the importance of eating right and exercising regularly. After completion of their wellness sessions, they were left with a brand new attitude and vital useful information and experiences that they could take with them for the rest of their lives.
My daughters and I have nothing but wonderful things to share about Holten Wellness Center and appreciate all they have done for us. With their advanced technology and treatments and friendly service, the have made a lasting impact on all of our lives!
Sincerely, Kathleen J. ▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪My first impression of a business is formed based on who is answering the phone on the other end and how friendly and helpful they are.
At Holten Wellness Center you can always count on a friendly voice answering the phone on the other end. They are always willing to help you with whatever your needs are, and very accommodating.
I purchased a package of endermologie (cellulite Reduction) treatments. I had this done years prior at another center and had little results to show for it. With the experienced technicians at Holten’s, I saw results within the first 2 weeks! By the end of my session I was amazed at the inches I had lost all over, the firmness of my skin, and the healthier skin tone. Every session was like a stress reliever to me, I was able to relax while my body was being reshaped. It was the same machine I had tried years prior, but this time it was the technician that made it happen.
Thank you for helping me have more confidence in my body.
I own a company and I see on a daily basis the stress level an employee goes through. Rather it be from their home life or their job. The fast pace society we live in creates much more stress on our bodies. We wanted to do something for our employees. We had Holten Wellness Center come to our company and provide a 15 minute massage therapy for every employee. They thoroughly enjoyed it and I think it relieved a lot of pressures, both physically and mentally. In turn I have happy employees, better attitudes , better workers and they know we care about them.
Rather it be cellulite reduction treatments, detoxing foot baths, nutrition counseling, or a therapy massage, you can always count on Holten Wellness center to make you feel like you have rehabilitated and revitalized you body. Your car gets a tune up every 6 months, listen to your body, pay attention to it, and give it what it needs..a tune up! Take Care of yourself, that is what Holten Wellness Center is about…’YOU’

But, sometimes we do the opposite of what we say we will do. It was not the way I usually do things but out of desperation, I found a Chiropractor that I will be glad to recommend to anyone with serious back and neck problems, especially if they want to avoid surgery.
As a result of stress and a herniated disc in my back I had pain that would not go away. I was curious about an article advertised by the Holten Neck and Pain Clinic concerning Dis Decompression Therapy that would bring relief without the uncertainty of surgery. I was willing to try the first free consultation with Dr. Holten. It was the best thing I could have done. Therapy stared in June and seven months later with a combination Disc Decompression Therapy and some Advanced Physical Therapy, I have total range of motion with my neck, and a back that is FREE of pain. Although I am going to miss seeing the friendly and professional staff I can truly say that Disc Decompression therapy works. I may never achieve great wealth but thank God I met the good people at Holten Back and Neck Center and that I got health.
I am the 60 year old man with the 30 year old back.

After years of inactivity and poor diet, the staff at Holten Back and Neck Center and Advanced Physical Therapy are helping me adopt a healthier, happier way of life.

For more years than I care to remember, I have suffered with constant discomfort due to deterioration of vertebrae in my spine and the ramifications this had on the muscle stability in my lower back and legs. It was my opinion, and that of other health care providers, that this was due to arthritis. So I had accepted that this was to be my lot in life; pain management became my only alternatives. My daughter knew that at best this was a limited solution and encouraged me to at least go and see what Holten Back and Neck could do for me.
Despite my skepticism, I found from the very beginning, a very professional, helpful, and encouraging staff. Efforts were made to identify the specific issues with which I was dealing and outline a program to address those specific concerns. I was impressed when the discussions went beyond mere manipulation to other aspects including alignment, flexibility, stability, therapy and strength. Coupling purposeful chiropractic with physical therapy and exercise made sense to me. As the program progressed these words and concepts became reality and although I will never be at 100% (too much time and damaged has passed), I'm at a level now that almost defies words. The constant discomfort I lived with has lessened and in many cases disappeared. The need for pain management medicine has been drastically reduced. My over all outlook on my years ahead has become much more positive.
It is true, for my current status to continue, I must commit myself to a consistent maintenance program. However, the benefits I've realized from the efforts of the good people at Holten Back and Neck up until now, provide me with a solid foundation to move forward; enjoying life in a much healthier way. Although one must decide if they wish to make the commitment to a healthier lifestyle, I would not hesitate to recommend the good people at Holten Back and Neck. If asked I would simply say, as my daughter did, ‘why not just give it a try it can not hurt.’

I have been on Vioxx, Orudus, Celebrex, plus numberous pain pills and muscle relaxers. I got to the point where I could hardly get out of bed. House work became painful at times. I heard your commercial on the radio and gave you a call. I came in for a consultation and x-rays. I have been almost pain free ever since. Thanks to Holten Back and Neck, I have my life back.

I had read a few articles written by Dr. Holten regarding how chiropractic adjustments helped resolve these issues. Although we were skeptical we decided that this holistic approach was worth a try.
After just 3 adjustments Jenin's chronic runny nose disappeared. We would highly recommend parents try this approach before scheduling ear tube surgery.

A timely massage was all I needed, or so I thought. On my second visit to the massage therapist, it was brought to my attention that my hips were not aligned. My massage therapist arranged a free consultation with Dr. Holten. After studying my x-rays, Dr. Holten sat down with me and explained to me that I would need more than massage therapy to correct my problem. He made a treatment plan for me that included adjustments, alignment and physical therapy. I was a little skeptical that I really needed all of that but decided to trust the process and give it a try. That was in September. Now I have almost completed my program and have responded very well to treatment. My pain is little to non-existent most days and my strength has greatly improved. But what kept me at Holten were the EMPLOYEES!! This office staff is courteous, very personable and easy to deal with. I always have a positive word to say about Holten to my friends and acquaintances!

I have been a computer programmer for more than 20 years. I spend the majority of my time working at a computer due to my job. I like my profession but it has given me back and neck pain since 5 years ago. When I visited Holten for the first time last October, the pain level of my back and neck was at a 6. However, after getting 6 months treatment by Dr. Jack and the rehab team at Holten family, my pain level has lowered down to a 2. Even if I graduate from the rehab training course to make my muscles stronger by the Holten team, I will keep doing the same exercises at my home with the tools that the team suggested. I am pleased to have less pain in my back and neck and appreciate the Holten team to help my back and neck become healthy.

Within the last year I have been struggling with off balance, back problems, limited flexibility and everyday pain that simply made me have no energy to do the everyday things I needed to do. I am 82 years old and I thought this was just an increasing thing that is supposed to happen to the elderly. I was wrong! I was watching TV one day and saw an advertisement about the “Holten Wellness Center”. I decided I would call them to see if they could help me with my condition. I was skeptical at first because of my age, but I thought it might be worth a try if it would mean being comfortable again.
Needless to say, I was THRILLED that I had made the decision to give them a try. After a few short months and some adjustment sessions, I started feeling relief. Soon after I started physical therapy, I was able to walk straighter and have more confidence in my stability and balance. Being a very independent person, regaining strength and mobility was a huge weight off my shoulders, I felt like I was ME again.
I thank God for the staff at the Holten Wellness Center who made me feel like I was a part of their family. Everyone was very friendly and delightful to work with. The feeling of being accepted and wanting me to get better was their goal and though I am on a maintenance program at the present time, they achieved their goal.
It is with great pleasure I would recommend this Wellness Center to anyone with problems affiliated with their back or mobility to get around.
Thank you Holten Wellness Center!
GinnyI drove a truck and delivered freight for 30 plus years. During that time I developed some back pain & knee problems. I fell off the back of a trailer in 1998. I think that is when my back problems really started. I have had 7 knee surgeries over the years, however it was not serious enough for knee replacement after arthritis set in. I figured that I would have to live with the pain. Last February my daughter started seeing Dr Holten. During this time I have seen great improvements with her. My wife then started being a patient. She has had shoulder problems & knee problems over the years. I saw great improvements in both these areas. She was not able to lift her arms over her head, now she can. I see her walking more and she lost 40 lbs. This is when I woke up & joined the Holten Family. I have been here approx. 8 weeks and cannot tell you what a change I have experienced. I walk every day and I go up & down the stairs with no problems. I am doing things that I never thought I would ever do again. I am sleeping better. I just wish that I would have found this 10 years ago. Every day at the Holten Family from top to bottom has made me feel better about myself. From the time I get here from my warm ups to my back & neck adjustment and soon to be Rehab I can’t Thank Them Enough!!!!
Sincerely ,

I was introduced to the Center through a friend who provided me with a free massage. I was hooked. I was experiencing lower back, neck pain and headaches, deriving from tying to break up a fight in my classroom. I met with Dr. Holten and was informed of the issues and started the adjustments and rehabilitation program. As I was completing the program I was involved in a car accident and found myself back at the geginning. Dr. Holten encouraged me to remain focused and proceed through the program again. Mr. Mark, Dan, Julie and the front desk have been amazing cheerleaders, encouraging me from the moment I walk in the front door, through the adjustments and the difficulties of the rehabilitation. All through the process, I have been instructed and informed on how to improve my life through Chiropractic adjustments and strengthening exercises. Jodee has been a gift, informing me on how to proceed with the financial and billings.
Thank you everyone.
