How Our Care Plan Works

1. We Hear Your Story

Your first visit starts with a conversation, not a table. We’ll talk about what you’re experiencing, how it’s affecting your daily life, and what you’ve already tried — then we perform an appropriate examination to start pinning down the source and severity of the problem. Not just the location of the pain. The source.

2. We Explain What We Find

Once we’ve reviewed your history and examination findings, one of our doctors sits down with you and explains what we see, in plain, understandable language. We’ll tell you honestly whether we believe we can help, what your options look like, and what realistic goals for your care would be. No mystery, and no pressure.

3. We Help You Move Forward

If you decide to begin care, we build a personalized plan around your condition and your goals — then we actually pay attention to it. We monitor how you’re responding, answer your questions as they come up, and work with you toward real improvements in comfort, movement, and the life you’re trying to get back to.

I came to Dr. Bolen with a pinched nerve in my neck (C-5 & C6). I had very serious pain in my left arm, shoulder & neck. After going to the Emergency Room for the intense pain, they recommended seeing a surgeon. I decided to get advice from Dr. Bolen. He recommended a program using a de-compression machine (Drx-9000). After the first week the pain disappeared. I am now halfway through the program and continue to improve. I have continued working out my lower body at the gym. I would highly recommend Dr Bolen and his professional staff.

When I went to Dr Moyer’s office I had lower back and hip pain. I had tried physical therapy for sciatica, prior to coming to his office without much results. Now after spinal decompression and Adjustments, in the office, I am able to walk much better. I strongly recommend going to Dr Moyer. The people that work for him are wonderful! Dr Moyer carefully described what was causing my pain and set up a treatment plan for me. Hopefully, I will be able to going to continue monthly treatments to keep my pain in check. Thank you Dr Moyer and staff !!

I had been struggling with lower back pain for a long time. I had several epidurals and Cortizone injections. It helped for a while, but not long. I’ve been going to Dr. Gary Bolen for a spinal decompression for my L4 and L5. . I’m so happy! I woke up this morning with no pain at all. I’m scheduled for surgery in April but it looks like I might not have to have the surgery. I’m gonna continue going for my decompression.. I would highly recommend to anyone who is struggling with lower back pain to go and see Dr. Gary Bolen at the Venice Village chiropractic. He is wonderful and very caring. 👍🙏

Very competent and capable staff. I presented with significant lower back and neck pain that stretching and exercise wasn’t helping. X-rays identified the problem areas and after two weeks of Chiropractic Therapy I felt significantly improved. My daily activities have returned to their previous levels since beginning treatment. I would highly recommend the Venice Village Chiropractic Clinic. Again the Professional Staff is excellent and the Office Staff very helpful as well.

Dr. Bolen, Dr. Moyer, and the entire team create a warm and welcoming environment. Their professionalism is matched by their clear communication, as they take time to explain procedures and outline the treatment plan. I first visited the office with severe neck pain rated at 8 out of 10, radiating into my back. Following X-rays, a comprehensive plan was developed that included shockwave therapy, laser treatments, and chiropractic adjustments. After attending multiple sessions each week, my symptoms significantly improved - my neck and back discomfort is minimal, typically around a 2 out of 10. I highly recommend this team for their exceptional care and professionalism. Their welcoming approach, clear communication, and effective treatment strategies truly set them apart.
