"[What brought me into your office was] the difference in the mechanics of chiropractic care and the machine rather than being crunched on a table. [I was having problems in my] low back, my neck, even the center of my back. Now it's great I was taking a lot of pain medication before. Well I couldn't and shouldn't have done but I did and I was in more pain like cleaning the house, moving things around, and moving large pets. [Now] I'm doing really well I'm doing so much better, it's amazing how much difference it's made in my life."

- Karen Kaplan, Simi Valley

"Originally I wasn't aware of any problems and I just came in with [my wife] Karen because she asked me to come in with her, and when I started to think about it I realized that my neck is a little off, my lower back and especially when I run when I was finished I would have a lot of pain in my lower back, so I thought maybe I should try this. My posture has been poor for many years so I came in and used the physical therapy in addition to the ProAdjuster. It's more than just physically feeling good, and well it's the overall feeling of my well being. My appetite is better, I eat less sugar, my mind is clear, I'm smarter. My lower back does not have pain anymore, my neck feels better and I notice my posture is now better, I feel taller, give me more confidence when I speak. It's overall been a blessing.
[The ProAdjuster is] wonderful, it makes such a difference without everyone having to be afraid of the chiropractor and that cracking, it's so different it's hard to believe that the machine can do that without it hurting at all, and it not being scary. I think for myself also that it takes out that feeling of the doctor knowing or not knowing what they are doing or adjusting things properly, it's a machine."

"My name is Diane Klimczak and I've been a patient of Dr. Gladden's for a series of chiropractic treatments and therapy. I am a two time post op on an L-5 & S-1 laminectomy - discectomy, with my last surgery being last fall, in 2008. When I came in I experienced numbness; difficulty with walking; stairs; moving; pain in my SI joint. And I didn't mention.. I know all these terms because I'm a claims examiner. We worked on it between the therapy exercises the, adjustments. I now have feeling in my foot. I can feel through to 2 to 3 of my toes as opposed to not feeling my toes. The doctor said it would be two years before I would have feeling in my leg and my foot. And I have to say I am convinced that chiropractic does work. And it's a two way street because I, also, Dr. Gladden encouraged me to keep up with doing it. I didn't give up and I had the intention that I was not going to accept having a foot drop at my age. So thank you Dr. Gladden and Dr. Hunter also for the adjustments, and your fabulous staff, and the therapy room everybody's been great and it has been a very positive experience with a great outcome."

"On about the 10th of June, 2008 I was sitting in my office in so much pain that tears were running down my face.. Dr. Gladden took a look at my x-rays, told me I was in pretty bad shape, and asked me to bring my wife back the next day after she had a chance to thoroughly examine all the data.  Note here that my wife, at this point, did not believe in Chiropractic care at all!

The next day my wife and I met with Dr. Gladden who explained in great detail why I had so much pain and what could be done to help it.   A combination of spinal manipulations (adjustments) and therapy.  I signed up then and there for a 12 week regimen, 3 times a week.  Before I left, Dr. Gladden gave me an adjustment (different than any I had ever had by any other Chiropractor - Gentler and without trauma) with my very much doubting wife watching every move as Dr. Gladden explained.  I stood up straight without pain for the first time in over a year, walked into the therapy room and got my first round of therapy.  I steadily improved from there.  A couple weeks later Dr. Gladden introduced to the office and to me a new device (FDA Approved in 1999) called the Pro-Adjuster.  This device has been used on me ever since with even better results.   Its results are duplicatible at offices worldwide.  It is what kept Jerome "The Bus" Bettis of the Steelers playing for the last 5 years of his pro football career.  My original course of treatment is now finished, and I am on a "Maintenance%" schedule every few weeks for a tune up!  My wife is now a believer in Superior Physical Medicine of Simi Valley!

This past weekend I traveled to Arizona State University for a family weekend, and hiked up a small mountain without any problems.  6 months ago I couldn't have even gotten there, or even walked to the bottom of the trail to start if I could have gotten there!

Dr. Gladden, Superior Physical Medicine, and its dedicated staff have given me back my life!"

"I had constant pain in my lower back; constant pain in my neck. I stopped yoga, and um, was pretty much in pain every time I walked.. [The pain I had] was severe. [After treatment at your clinic] I feel great, I can't believe it! I really can't believe it. I have no pain at all. I don't know what's done differently here, but it must be something. Well, I feel wonderful. I'm going back to yoga and I'm going to start swimming, again. Actually that was last week [that I went running without pain]. What you guys did here was different than any other chiropractor I have been to. Well the both together [chiropractic and therapy] are a winning combination."

"Our son Alex just turned 9 and has been involved with the "extreme sport" of BMX Racing on a national level.  The sport requires much physical and mental concentration.  As his parents, we have found Dr. Hunter and Dr. Gladden to be a tremendous help in both areas.  The ProAdjuster helps Alex recover from injuries and/or pain, and time in the Mind Spa helps Alex relax and mentally prepare for his big races.   The results have been great.  There is no "fear of seeing a doctor" or even any apprehension when we go in fo an appointment.  Body ache and injuries recover quicker and Alex is racing even better than before....   so good in fact, that Mom and Dad have also started seeing Dr. Hunter and Dr. Gladden for their own ProAdjuster sessions."

"I had excruciating pain from walking, standing...Would be good for maybe 5 minutes...And then, and then I would be hurting so bad you would pant through the pain. And, walking...I could walk.. maybe 10 minutes. And I'd be in the same situation. If I went to a grocery store I would be hanging over the basket just to relieve the pressure in my back. I was awful. [After treatment at your clinic, I am] much better, I can walk faster. I can walk longer. I can even walk slower if I wish to. Instead of hurrying to get to a chair. So, yeah. It's really improved. And I don't have to hang over the basket at the grocery store. I can get through with what I need to do, and still load the car and drive it home and put it away. So it is a huge improvement for me. The therapy group, Dr. Young and Kelly, are just wonderful. You feel like you're the most valued person when you go to see them. Thank you."

"I've experienced both periodic, persistent lower back pain and periodic, persistent headaches since I was a teenager.  I'd have trouble walking, sitting, lifting, even concentrating and sleeping when I was having a 'flare up'.  I'd tried general practitioners and other chiropractors in the past.  Mainly, I used lots of ibuprofen.  Late last year I managed to lock my lower back up pretty badly.  (Again!)  My regular chiropractor was on an extended vacation.  What to do?!  Grimacing from the weight, I pulled the yellow pages out of my lower desk drawer.  Am I ever glad I did.

It was less that a week into my course when I suspected a wrinkle in the plan.  A few days later I was certain.  I was pregnant.  I was only a few weeks along so this didn't change much about my treatment.  The adjustments helped put things back where they belonged.  The physical therapy helped strengthen the surrounding muscles so everything would stay there. 

After eight weeks, I graduated.  I hadn't had any pain in a while and I could easily continue the exercises at home.  Dr. Gladden cautioned me to listen to my body during my pregnancy.  With all the hormones running loose and parts of me expanding, I could easily experience a backslide or two.  But I am not worried.  I am continuing with my exercises and when I do start to expand, I know an adjustment is only a phone call away.

I definitely recommend Superior Physical Medicine to anyone experiencing pain.  Drs. Gladden and Hunter are knowledgeable and talented.  They use state-of-the-art diagnostic and treatment equipment.  And their entire staff is compassionate, friendly, informative, and fun."

"Having worked in healthcare for over 20 years, I have worked with many chiropractors, physical therapists and physicians. I can honestly say this caring, attentive crew is the best! The staff works together for your whole body health. They understand the importance of each others' areas of expertise and combine efforts and techniques: their therapy and rehab department properly instruct and supervise core body strengthening to help support the spine and body and to help "hold" adjustments; they use Spinal Decompression for an excellent success rate in alleviating low back pain, disc or nerve problems; they have extensive experience with endocrinology and work with the mind-body connection-finally, a place that treats you as a whole person! It is simply amazing! This place has it all. They bring the pain down, then help strengthen you up. This is the way to health-not just a band-aid. You haven't "tried it all" until you make an appointment here!"

"I had a total hip replacement when I was 27 years old because of a bad fall. My life took a painful turn for the worse. Not only did my hip hurt, but because I was unaware of my body, I was walking in a way that was causing more hip pain, as well as pain in my back, leg and other parts of my body. Now, many years later, I am having another life altering experience. This time, with the combined help of Dr. Gladden and Dr. Hunter, I am on a journey with less pain, more body awareness and the ability to walk better-using the correct muscles and movements. They listen to me, talk to me answer my questions and explain things in a way that I understand what my body should be and is becoming more and more everyday! I describe this as a "journey" because they are helping me into a better life. I'm not finished yet, but with their help I can actually imagine and look forward to a life where I can walk better, do more, and feel next to no pain, if any at all. Thank you for helping to give my life back to me."

"I was impressed by your ad in the phone book, so I chose your clinic. I had low back pain with spasms; also, an old shoulder injury. The chiropractic treatments were painless and very relaxing! Upon finishing my back treatment, I was ready to start work on the shoulder... Because of the treatment, my back has been pain free! I have gained strength in my shoulder and even improved posture. I would absolutely recommend any family members or friends to Superior Physical Medicine! The staff is friendly and I always get a warm welcome. I have confidence in the treatment methods used there."
