Once Dr. Groover started working on me, I felt relief immediately. I couldn't move on Saturday, and on Saturday night I could move freely without pain. On Sunday, it was a 100% turnaround. There was no postural distortion when I left, and I was ready to jump right back into football practice.
It's good to have someone we can trust when we're so vulnerable.
It was incredible; he really broke his back for me. He realized how much pain I was in and fixed it very fast. Ever since then my back has been fine, and I'm back playing football. If I ever have any back problems, I wouldn't think of going anywhere else!
My name is Rob Hollway, and I play division one football for the University of Wyoming. Besides that I'm a really active person, I like to run bike, play water sports, anything involving outdoor activities.
After a few games that beat up my body pretty extensively, I woke up from a night's sleep my back hurt so bad that I could hardly move. The next two weeks were the most painful of my life.
The pain was so bad that I could hardly move....... EVERYTHING was painful! I could hardly walk, let alone go to football practice. It got so bad that one morning when I woke up, I couldn't get out of bed! I had to call the team trainer from my bed and tell him that I couldn't practice that day, and see if he could help me out of bed. (laughs).
During those two weeks, I had seen the team trainers, medical doctors, and team chiropractors. They tried to pop my rib back into place, but it didn't work, and none of them knew why my back hurt so badly.
The next day when I realized I couldn't even put on my own socks, I realized I had to do something immediately......That's when I decided to come see Dr. Groover. He agreed to see me on a Saturday to fit in with my football schedule.
Traveling the two hours from the University of Wyoming to Dr. Groover's office in Boulder was one of the most painful things I've ever had to endure.
It turns out I had a dislocated rib, some pulled muscles in my lower back, a lot of spinal stress in my back, and a significant upper cervical misalignment. I looked like I was crippled, and felt that way too.

My body is balanced now, my hips feel a lot better, and my neck feels a lot better. Everything has changed. If I could come in and see him every day I would!
These injuries put you in a very vulnerable place. Most people don't understand how serious it really is. I went from playing a division one sport, to not being able to get out of bed. It literally was a miracle. Dr. Groover knows exactly what he's doing; he addresses the problem and fixes it, end of story.
I wish they would put him on the staff for the football team!
I was immediately amazed by how thorough he is. He examines all the problem areas and then works from there. All the other specialists I've seen hardly check anything!
After the first two visits, the relief was immediate! I didn't even realize how much pain I was in until I came to see Dr Groover. I don't mess around anymore, I come before it hurts.
When you see the results, it is absolutely amazing.
My name's Chris Sundberg, and I'm a starting tight end for the University of Wyoming football team. Besides adding a lot to the team, I've been a Mountain West Scholar Athlete every year I've played.
I've had a lot of injuries over the past years; a left patella tendon tear, bulging discs, broken collarbones and hands, torn meniscus, and more.
My back was so extremely painful at times that I could hardly get dressed by myself.
I've had a lot of other MD's, PT's, and chiropractors try to help me, but none of it gave me any relief.
My other teammates had had good results with Dr. Groover, so I decided to travel down to Boulder to see him on the weekend.

Right now my body's in really great shape considering all I've been through. This sounds strange to say, but I feel like a kid again! And now that I'm "feeling young" again, I can really look forward to my future and not worry how much pain I'll be in if I go play basketball, dance, etc.
I'm deeply grateful for all the work he's done for me, and I recommend him to everyone
The price is cheap compared to what you will spend later without this treatment. It's well worth it.
During my freshman year, I was doing some heavy squats in the gym, and I started feeling sharp pains in my low back. It took me about 5 minutes to walk thirty feet out of the training room. The team trainers and doctors just told me to stretch it out, but the pain got worse. To sit down was unbearable, and it was like that for quite a while. I was off playing for a month and a half, and I could hardly walk.
Occasionally when I was taking a casual stroll through the campus with friends, I would take too long of a step, my back would give out completely, and I would just crumple to the ground in pain.
I could hardly put on my socks it was so bad. Seeing the pain I was in, a teammate referred me to Dr. Groover.
My name is Ward Dobbs. I've been a starting linebacker for the University of Wyoming Football Team for four years now. I've been an integral part of the team, earning numerous accolades for my playing time. I while back I had some major problems with my back that immediately stopped my football and other activities.

He went through his thorough evaluation, and immediately found the problem spots in my back. He corrected my atlas and back on the same day, and immediately I felt relief. I came in on Saturday and was back to practice on Monday. It was just awesome!
I found him to be very professional and very personable. He's very easy to work with and he takes a lot of time to make sure he is doing what's right for your body, not just treating everybody like a machine.
If your set for an appointment, then he takes as long as it needs, and he finishes the job every time I come.
Now I'm back to playing football, lifting heavy weight, and of course, walking!
I recommend him to anyone and everyone, the longer you go without this kind of work, the longer you'll be in pain.
It hurt all the time. My life was miserable. it was a chore to get through daily activities, not to mention practicing and playing football. I felt pain with every step I took. If Dr. Groover wasn't there to fix me up after games, there's no way I would have made it through four years of division one football.
Right now, I feel great, probably in the best shape I've ever been in. I have no injury that limits my activities/athletic activities. I'm pain free and I can do whatever I want.
When I was playing football I wasn't able to run without pain, in fact I couldn't even walk without pain!
I played four years of division one football at UW, and I've had many accolades:
- National College Football Hall of Fame Honors Society
- Bonner family scholarship in 2006, awarded to athletes that excel on and off the field.
- Academic all conference.
- Scholar athlete the Mountain West Conference in 2006.
- National College Football Hall of Fame Honors Society.
I had the opportunity to go on with football at the professional level, but chose to pursue a career in medicine.
I had sustained a large impact on my hips that caused instability of the pubic symphysis, and I ended up with both of my groins being severely strained. Other than that, I've had a partially torn MCL, two high ankle sprains, and a separated shoulder.

When I was playing football I wasn't able to run without pain, in fact I couldn't even walk without pain! Now, I can climb mountains, backpack, whatever I want. My thought process is a lot smoother, and my mental capacity has improved significantly. I've been able to gain a better awareness of my surroundings, and my life in general.
I feel really confident that I can lead a long, happy, active lifestyle. I used to feel like my body was about to spontaneously combust, like I could fall apart at any time!
The other athletes that I've worked with throughout the years that have been through Dr. Groover's care have had tremendous results. It's fulfilling to know that I'm changing people's lives just by referring them to Dr. Groover.
