Applied Chiropractic Health Center, P.C.: Dr. Thomas Foote

Do Not Trust these people! They will convince you that you need years of adjustments and continuously fix your pain and cause your pain week after week. I was feeling better after the first 3 adjustments so they started reversing what they did to my back so I'd continue to return for adjustments and they kept adjusting my neck after I ask them not to, and now I have constant neck pain and headaches I never had before and now I need to have my neck adjusted to fix the issues.

Dr. Foote is awesome! He's knowledgeable, caring and insightful.

Dr. Foote is a chiropractor in Grand Junction, CO. His office is located off of Patterson near the Mesa Mall and in the same complex as Bamboo City. I have been visiting Dr. Foote for several years for the occasional adjustment. While my pain is usually in my upper back and neck, Dr. Foote has also successfully treated me for lower back pain, sciatica, and dislocated ribs and he treated me for whiplash after a car wreck. Each visit, he has taken the time to talk to me and ask about my activities to see if something new is happening that could be affecting my health. He was observant enough to notice a pattern in my treatment record and we were able to discover what was the cause of some of my back pain. I was consistently scheduling appointments in April, August, and December. After some discussion I realized that was prime bleacher-time. My time spent sitting in bleachers to watch sporting events and my poor posture while doing so were contributing to my back pain. After an adjustment and some advice on my posture while sitting in bleachers and limiting my time sitting, I was good to go again. If you find yourself with a stiff or sore back halfway through your favorite sport season, you might schedule an appointment with Dr. Foote. Dr. Foote is very thorough in his examination. His technique is gentle – not crack and pop. If you are the type of person that thinks you must hear those noises for an adjustment to work, then Dr. Foote is probably not the right chiropractor for you. He focuses on range of motion to make sure things are aligned and moving right. He is exceptionally talented at getting those painful muscle “knots” to release. He takes the time at every visit to go over exercises and stretches that can be done at home to “retrain” and strengthen muscles. I’ve found these exercises actually speed my recovery and reduce the number of treatments necessary for me to get back to being pain free. I have also used these exercises when I feel that familiar twinge in my back or neck and have successfully avoided becoming immobilized from pain. This not only saves me time and money on treatments, but also spares me the pain that prevents me from sleeping well. I have never felt pressured to come back in for a designated number of treatments. He has always left it up to me to schedule future appointments based on the way I feel my healing process is progressing. Dr. Foote has always been able to get me in for an appointment fairly quickly, usually one to two days. If I am really hurting, he has been good about making room in his schedule for the same day I call. My appointments usually last 20-30 minutes, although the first appointment was closer to one hour because of the standard paperwork and the health history questions he asks. I do not have health insurance that covers chiropractic treatments so I pay cash. A standard appointment is $42. Children have a separate rate that is slightly less. Dr. Foote has never tried to sell me treatment packages or supplements. I appreciate the gentleness of his technique and the time he spends trying to educate me on what is happening with my spine. He did appear to be a little rushed during my last visit but I attributed that to the new COVID-19 restrictions that require a little more time. He is following the CDC, governor, and County Health Office guidelines so wear a mask and be prepared to wash your hands – twice. Overall, I have been pleased with the results and with Dr. Foote’s expert services. I have recommended him to friends and family and they seem to approve as well.

Dr. Foote is excellent. My wife has been using him for years and has always seen great results. I had some back issues and wasn't really sure what to do. After one visit with Dr. Foote I felt better, He was very informative and I only had to make one follow up visit. I've used the exercises and stretches he recommended and have been great since. I would definitely recommend Dr Foote.

I have been dozens of Chiropractors all over the state (due to sport injuries and car accident) and Dr. Foote truly cares about getting you completely better with no pressure to buy into any miracle vitamins or package gimmicks. Great price and I feel great! Highly recommend Dr. Foote to anyone.

He's an amazing health care professional and so knowledgeable and a scholar in chiropractic, nutrition, acupuncture and more. What makes him stand out is that he doesn't try to "sell" you into memberships or plans. He treats you with just the amount of visits you need to get better and no more.

Amazing place to get adjusted! I always leave educated and aware of how I can help improve my situation. Dr. Foote always takes time in the appointment and never rushes. Great Place to go!!!

Very good adjustments I highly recommend. He is gentle and thorough. He has a unique adjusting style that I really appreciate.
