I went for treatment for lower back pain triggered by heavy deadlifts and squats. Dr Bomben's treatments have proven invaluable in reducing the pain and discomfort and helping me regain my strength back. He is an absolute tomb of knowledge, and a clear expert in his field. He has strong genuine interest to help restore his patients to their fullest well being. I highly recommend Dr Bomben to anyone seeking chiropractic treatment of any kind.

Dr. Bomben is currently treating me for two torn rotator cuffs. It is a 12-year-old sports injury compounded by recent re-injury. He specified the MRI technician he wanted reading the MRI report, he referred me to TWO outside specialists, and personally spoke with them about my condition, and has been following up via e-mail and phone to answer my questions and concerns. Because of Dr. Bomben's communication style and follow-up, I am better educated and have deeper knowledge of my injury and my options and have come to understand how important my own actions are in reaching realistic recovery goals. The conversation is not "fix me" with Dr. Bomben, it is more "help me heal". Is it possible to have an ego-less Doctor?

Dr. Bomben is really passionate about his work. He has helped with my knee and finding out the REAL problem. You can tell he is really concerned by his follow up. He has also helped with some back problems when it was bothering me from work. Highly recommend.

I went for treatment with Dr. Bomben due to a sport specific foot injury. I work in the wellness industry and have a general knowledge of the body and its systems, so I would only go to someone I trust and respect as a valuable, honest, and intelligent source. Dr. Bomben is all of these. Within a short period of time of examining my issue, he diagnosed, treated, and formulated a comprehensive treatment plan that has enabled me to function normally, painfree. Dr. Bomben has an incredible knowledge of the body including soft and hard tissue, metabolically, and nutritionally as well. I recommend and refer all of my own cliente base to him frequently.

Having competed at the international level in some of the biggest stages, I appreciate my body working for me. But nothing is more discouraging than losing competition and training time while being injured. Now as a working professional, I am grateful for you piecing me back together so I can always push myself and maintain that sense of vitality I get from training.

I have been doing acrobatic dance for a long time. I have also been practicing massage and teaching it for a long time. It is very important to me to keep my body in fine tune. I was rear ended a month ago and my body was thrown off big time. Dr. Bomben went exactly to the place that needed attention. After just one visit,I was well onto the road to a quick recovery. I was amazed at his ability to empathize (as if he could see into my body) and go right to the places that needed attention in me. I am his devoted patient now.

I have been suffering from neck and upper back pain for over 2 years now due to a car accident and stressful lifestyle and Dr. Bomben has provided much needed relief not only through his chiropractic care but genuine interest in my overall health. He is always willing to work with my busy schedule. I am sleeping better and living a much healthier happier lifestyle since I started seeing Dr. Bomben. I would highly recommend his friendly and thorough care to anyone who wants to feel better fast!

I am a runner and Dr. Bomben has helped keep me on the road and off the injured reserve list. I've had a couple of overuse injuries that he was able to diagnose and fix quickly. He administered deep tissue massage therapy and stretching. He also taught me some strengthening exercises that I could do on my own. I would recommend Dr. Bomben to anyone suffering from injury or overuse aches and pains. He will help you!

I suffered from back pain off and on for many years. I had pursued chiropractic and massage to relieve my pain and had seen 2 prior chiropractors. My pain had prevented me from resting well and driving comfortably. Seeing Dr Bomben has virtually eliminated my pain and given me exercises to do on my own to enhance the results. Dr Bomben is different because he focuses so much time with me each appointment to be sure that my issue is being fully addressed. He also has a rich background that allows him to give insight on my nutrition and other areas of health and fitness.

I DONT KNOW HOW TO RE-ITERATE THIS ENOUGH, but finding a doctor who has FIRST hand experience is so important!! Book knowledge alone just doesn't cut it! In addition, he still trains!! In order for me to trust ANY fitness professional, you must practice what you preach, and you must have first hand experience! I am a serious track & field athlete. I HAD micro tears in my hamstring that has been slowing me down for a while. Dr. Bomben, who I'd meet while working out one day on the track, offered his expertise with confidence. After one session with him I was able to compete the next day in a USA sanctioned track meet in Elgin, TX and put up some good numbers as it was my first track meet in three years. (1st in long jump, 6th place 200m) I highly reccommend Dr. Bomben!

For 3 or 4 weeks I had severe neck pain that felt like whiplash. I didn't have medical insurance at the time so I was only seeing a massage therapist and using Icy Hot. The severity of the pain prevented me from sleeping at night so I finally sought out Dr. Bomben. I went to a chiropractor 10 years ago without much success, but Dr. Bomben's treatment helped me considerably! The amount of time he spent with me was much greater than what most doctors devote to their patients. He also gave me some helpful remedies that I was able to do at home. I was able to sleep much better at night and it was refreshing to feel better without the use of medication. It works!

I was in a car wreck in Egypt three weeks before I was to go back home to Austin. I had inexplicable soreness in the middle of my back and in my neck. Dr. Bomben very thoroughly tested my movements and asked questions. I felt he really cared! It was important to him that I was healed. His approach was very unintimidating. He explained what he was doing, gave me stretches and exercises to do so that I felt more in control and empowered.

I had soreness in neck and upper/mid back for about a week before seeking treatment. I tried stretching but it wasn't enough. It was starting to limit my exercise/working out, hiking, and walking. Dr. Bomben's treatment and home exercises got me back were I was able to resume life without any discomfort or pain in one week. He was a lot more detailed than previous physicians. His treatments are not just to relieve a pain, but for a healthier lifestyle.

When I scheduled my first appointment with Dr. Bomben, I was experiencing low back pain that just would not go away. It had worsened to a point where it interfered with my ability to work, exercise, sit, or even get out of bed in the morning. Dr. Bomben quickly and accurately diagnosed it as a disc problem. His treatment of exercise and massage had great and immediate results. Thanks to Dr. Bomben, I was able to return to my daily routine within weeks without medication or invasive treatment.
