Colorado Springs Man Regains Mobility and Life Through Innovative Non-Surgical Treatment

Dustin Lewey, a construction worker and outdoor enthusiast from Colorado Springs, faced a life-altering challenge when a series of construction-related back injuries left him with multiple herniated discs and severely limited mobility. After exhausting treatments with seven chiropractors, 15 specialists, and eight pain medications without success, Lewey found hope at Thrive Health Systems under the care of Dr. Molly Kallenbach, DC.

Lewey's active lifestyle, which included rock climbing and river rafting, was abruptly halted as he struggled with basic movements like climbing stairs. Despite the chronic pain, he continued working in construction, exacerbating his injuries. The turning point came when he enrolled in a unique program at Thrive Health Systems, which combined Functional Movement Training (FMT), Spinal Decompression, and specific Chiropractic Adjustments, alongside at-home exercises, all without surgery or medication.

Today, Lewey has dramatically reduced his medication intake from eight to just two and has fully regained his mobility. He has returned to kayaking, performing handstands, and enjoying activities with his sons. "This place has given me my life back," Lewey shared, highlighting the profound impact of his recovery.

Dr. Kallenbach emphasized the clinic's approach: "We focus on addressing the root cause of pain rather than just masking the symptoms. It’s rewarding to see patients like Dustin reclaim their lives and return to the activities they love." Thrive Health Systems has become a pivotal resource for Colorado Springs residents, offering non-surgical, drug-free solutions for back pain, herniated discs, and mobility issues, enabling many to resume their active lifestyles.
