Patient: Male, Adjustments/Nutrition

Dr. Malzer is very personable and takes time and effort to address your concerns. His office is warm and inviting, which allows you to relax and reduce your inner tensions. I have worked with Dr. Malzer now for over a year and have found that every visit improves my flexibility, eases the stiffness in my upper and lower back and takes away the tension in my neck and back of my head. I find that I am in much better general health as well, because Dr. Malzer is concerned about my nutrition and supplemental needs and consulted with me to improve my cholesterol and diet.

Treatment: Rehab Exercises

I came to see Dr. Malzer for pain treatment and he did a good job, now my pain is gone and I’m very happy. I will recommend to other for pain treatment. The same way I got from him. He gave me instructions to exercise my pain from my neck to my upper back, now I feel much better than before. I want to thank you to Dr. Malzer for his service.

Patient: Female, Sports Rehab

Dr. Malzer has been treating me and my students for at least a year or close to it. His expert knowledge has kept me in working order. If it wasn’t for his keen diagnostic system and adjustments, plus all of the nutritional and supplements information, I wouldn’t be able to do my job! My job requires a great deal of physical exercise and staying functional is a challenge, but high on my priority list. Dr. Malzer always helps me to say on the wellness path, and has been extremely dedicated and generous to everyone and Karate Junction Training Center. My neck and back and injured rotator cuff are functional and stronger today due to his treatment. His sense of humor isn’t bad either!

Patient: Female, General Wellness

I believe in keeping fit with chiropractic adjustments. My first experience with this form of therapy was in1990, when I fell and later experienced sciatica. I made an appointment with an orthopedic surgeon to heal the pain, but I had to wait a week for an appointment. A friend made an immediate appointment with her favorite chiropractor, and I was seen and treated that day. The treatment was electro stim, which after a few treatments, I saw an improvement. I also saw the orthopedic surgeon. I don’t remember what the procedure was, but it didn’t help all that much. I was able to exercise on a stationary bicycle, which did some help, but I owe the relief to the chiropractic procedures. In 1991, I slipped and fell in a gas station, and suffered quite a few injuries which caused scoliosis, and other misalignments. I went directly to that chiropractor and was x-rayed and diagnosed and received treatment. During that diagnosis, I also discovered that I have Osteoarthritis.

Once I moved to Minnesota, I was in need of treatment for this and any other aches and pains that came about. I soon discovered that most of my aches and pains could be eliminated with chiropractic adjustments. I am now 66 years old, and very often cause something to sublux. I get those subluxations adjusted. Dr. Malzer treated me at Advanced Injury Rehabilitation. Once he moved to his new offices, I decided to follow him to his new office. I feel that my body is like a machine, if something is out of place, and not corrected, it may cause wear and tear that can only be replaced. Every time I hear that someone is getting a shoulder, hip or knee replacement, I feel bad that that person didn’t understand that chiropractic adjustments could have prevented the wear and tear that caused the need for replacement. I plan to continue to keep myself fit with chiropractic adjustments.

Patient: Female, Midback Pain with Radiation

I started seeing Dr. Malzer in April, 2006/ I had been doing a LOT of crocheting and computer work for several months and I had such terrible pain from my shoulder blades and down my arm to my hand. It tingled constantly. I was given several stretching exercises to do and after 2 ½ months the pains are gone.

I had several massage therapy sessions in the office also. I believe both chiropractic and massage are important. I enjoy Dr. Malzer’s sense of humor. That helps ease some of the tension of “going to the doctor”.

Patient: Male, Running Injury

I am a life-long runner who was experiencing pain in my hamstring. I had tried my own self-administered treatments, rest, stretching and ice, with limited success. I decided to come to the clinic as a last ditch effort to heal myself. I chose the clinic for convenience as well as for Dr. Malzer. I knew Dr. Malzer’s family and respected their integrity and sincerity and know these were traits Dr. Malzer would bring to his practice. The first visit was informative relaxed and wonderful. Dr. Malzer provided a thorough explanation as to the possible cause of my hamstring pain and was respectful of my questions and concerns. The treatment appeared to work along with the suggestions for after care including deep tissue massage. I have resumed running.

Patient: Female, Sciatica/Shoulder/Back Pain

I went the first time to Dr. Malzer with sciatica and upper shoulder/back pain. I had reached the point of not being able to sit for long periods and my energy level had reached an all time low. After my first session, I noticed some immediate relief and after the third session the constant pain was going away and I felt like I could get into the garden again!

Talking with Dr. Malzer would be easy for anyone to do; he listens, gives suggestions and explanations that are understandable and has a great sense of humor, which always makes any appointment easier.

As far as being skeptical, sure I was! Look at him and that ponytail, what could he really know?… (OK, I am just kidding). He really does know his stuff and explains what he wants you to know in a clear and concise manner. He truly cares.

Now, his wife Dana who runs the place and whom Brian works for I believe is not being paid what she is worth. Dana always has a smile on her face and a cheerful “HI” when you walk through the door. She sets the positive, stress-free atmosphere for all who enter.

I have enjoyed all my appointments at the Wellness Center and would recommend their services to others.

Keep up the good work!

Q: How often should I get a massage?

A: As often as you would like to! The ideal amount of massage is different for every individual. If you are recovering from an injury or accident it’s especially beneficial to get massage often. Also, if your goal is preventative care to avoid injuries, stress or muscle pain, the more massage the better for your body. For some people this means once or twice per week, for others it may be once or twice per year.

Q: Do the relaxation groups involve meditation?

A: Yes, sometimes there is a time for meditation. During the relaxation groups, I might do some guided imagery, which involves describing relaxing scenes or healing images. After the guided imagery I often allow for some quiet time, which could be called meditation. This meditative quiet time can be spiritually uplifting or just peaceful and calming. It depends on what each person wants out of the session. The relaxation groups will vary each week, and may include gentle stretching, muscle relaxation techniques, biofeedback, guided imagery, music, deep breathing, and other techniques that promote relaxation and a sense of well-being.
