I was a locked up mess, when I first started seeing Dr. Bedell for pain in my back. I had pain from my neck, shoulders and back, down to my sacroiliac (Hey, that rhymes.) from sitting at my computer for most of my day. I couldn't even turn my head to change lanes in traffic. He listens to me, and he assumes nothing. He works in partnership with me to bring me back to my optimum health. Also, per my request, he is even coaching me on eating healthier, losing some unwanted pounds, and living a healthier life style with exercise. I don't like to take medication, so I don't usually go to a regular doctor, unless I'm really sick. I consider Dr. Bedell to be my Primary Health Care Physician because, in partnership with him, I am now feeling great, and soon to be looking much healthier. He is such a friendly, approachable doctor and a wonderful, caring health coach. Don't be in pain another day. Dont' delay, call Dr. Bedell today.

I have been Dr. Bedell's patient since 2004. Dr. Bedell is the only chiropractor that has been able to sustainably help my chronic back pain. After 4 not-at-fault car accidents and being treated by many different chiropractors, my mid and lower back and neck pain have always bothered me. Dr. Bedell is the only chiropractor who is able to relieve the pain. I come all the way from Walnut Creek to San Jose because there is no chiropractor like Dr. Bedell, and I refuse to find just any chiropractor to adjust my spine. I like his adjustment technique. He listens to his patients and is really concerned about their health and overall well-being, therefore instead of giving endless adjustments like other chiropractors, he tells me that I need to strengthen my muscles by doing exercises to keep my bones in place and lessen the need for adjustments. How many chiropractors will tell you that? Dr. Bedell adjusts my whole family, including my 12-year-old and 8-year-old. Thank you Dr. Bedell!

As a United States Marine I learned that there are no excuses, only hard work towards a solution. As well, I have been no stranger to gym work in my life. Nevertheless, I had been experiencing more and more injuries over the last many years resulting in really crippling back pain. Dr. Bedell was able to show me that the problem was probably a back injury many years ago that was causing me to favor my back muscles allowing them to seriously atrophy. This was really a surprise as I have always seen myself as a pretty robust guy! The solution was core strength. The method was chiropractic (immediate pain relief) that allowed me to exercise the appropriate muscles (long term relief). Actual results! After about 5 months of (often funny looking) exercises, I have been virtually pain free for the last 2 months. Additionally, I have come to feel strong and vital (not a bad thing for a 60 year old guy). Todd Bedell - Actual Results!

Following a major car accident I went through 20 years of debilitating pain. I tried MDs, osteopaths, meditation, massages nothing worked. My movements were restricted, I had problems sleeping because of the pain and allergic reactions to major pain killers limited my pain relief options.
I was diagnosed with TMJ syndrome, arthritis and fibromyalgia. I was told that I should just learn to live with the pain.
Then I found Todd: he really listened to my complaints. I just wanted to feel a little better so the pain would not keep me awake at night but, surely enough, I kept improving slowly and steadily. I now have no pain, I do not need any pain medication, I sleep though the night and I am more flexible than when I was 20. Thank you Dr, Bedell!

Dr.Bedell was a life- saver!!!! I started to see Dr. Bedell in mid August of 2003. I had a tremendous amount of pain radiating up and down my right leg and I was clueless on what I was going through.Until I was seen by Dr. Bedell and he explained everything about my herniated disc and started to adjust me immediately, and had possitive results instantaneously. THANK YOU DR. BEDELL!!!

“A few years ago, when I used to suffer from serious lower back pain, Todd did more than relieve it. He prodded me to make the lifestyle changes necessary to end it once and for all. And now, it's gone for good. Another great thing about Todd is that he doesn't get stuck on one approach to solving a problem. He'll do whatever it takes to make you feel whole again.”September 21, 2008

Arnold Schwarzenegger Athlete, Actor and Governor
Through the years, Arnold has had much to say about chiropractic:"I am very fortunate to have, so to speak, my in-house chiropractor, Dr. Franco Colombu, as my own personal chiropractor. He adjusts my wife, my kids, me, everybody gets an adjustment. And we feel always great when Franco leaves. Even when I have athletic injuries, he's always there for me and helps me. That's why I always will be traveling...all over the world, talking highly about the profession of chiropractic. You chiropractic doctors are really miracle workers.(Back in the 1970s) Franco would go very intensely to chiropractic college every day. He worked on me all the time. During the course of his education he got incredibly good with both the theoretical and the practical (aspects of adjusting) ... every time I had an injury, I could call Franco ... I would get an adjustment, three or four, and the problem would be gone. So you know, when you see that happening in your own body, that with chiropractic you will be 100 percent, it's just fantastic.
Mel Gibson - Actor
"I got a chiropractor to come along to the (Patriot) shoot, because they can actually stick you back together within 15 minutes. He used to come every other week, from Los Angeles to South Carolina - spend a week and work on the entire crew. All the stunt guys were like, Oh, fix my disc. He is putting their discs back in. The guy is amazing."
Lance Armstrong - Eight Time Tour de France WinnerEight Time Tour de France winner Lance Armstrong has been receiving chiropractic care since January of 1999, helping him to keep his body together for the harsh demands of the Tour de France. After last year's Tour de France, Lance said that he could not have won without his chiropractor's help.
Mastery of five skills - base running, fielding, throwing, hitting for average and hitting with power - is the standard of greatness in a baseball player, and San Francisco Giants outfielder Barry Bonds has reached that mark.Generally regarded as the best player in the major leagues today, he has proven himself, year after year, by raising his level of play to that of the all-time greats of the game. With a recent contract extension, he is now, befitting his enormous talents, the highest-paid player in baseball. "I go to my chiropractor on a regular basis, because I want to prolong my career as long as possible," he states. "I see him about once a week, in between my training (sessions). By getting an adjustment once a week from him, I feel I can sustain my career a lot longer."
Dan O'Brien - Decathlon Gold Medalist
Decathlon Gold Medalist "If it were not for Chiropractic, I would not have won the gold medal.""You obviously can't compete at your fullest if you're not in alignment. And your body can't heal if your back is not in alignment. It was the holistic idea that I liked about chiropractic and that is what track and field is about. Every track and field athlete that I have ever met has seen a chiropractor at one time or another. In track and field, it is absolutely essential. Chiropractic care is one of the things I think that no one has denied or refuted."

Emmitt Smith Credits Chiropractic for Rushing Record
"Playing in a football game is like being in 30-40 car accidents."An article in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram explains it all started after the 1994 season when Smith endured a lot of hamstring problems and he began to ask himself some tough questions. "Do I need to get more rest? Do I need to eat better? Do I need a little more training? How can I take care of my body better? Do I need to find a chiropractor? It was time for me to invest in me," Smith said. "I found a specialist that's really good in balancing out my body to make sure my hips are rotated right, and my body is functioning properly. I remember somebody telling me that what I put myself in during the games is like having a car wreck every Sunday. It's against the norm. You can find yourself in awkward positions. That stuff takes its toll. But if you take advantage of the health care, balance your body back out, put it back where it's supposed to be, you function better, and you recover faster."
Evander Holyfield - Heavyweight Champion
"I have to have an adjustment before I go into the ring. I do believe in chiropractic. I found that going to a chiropractor three times a week helps my performance.

Fred Funk, PGA Tour Professional
"I do believe chiropractic has really benefited my game. Over the last three years, I feel I have become more exposed to, and knowledgeable about, the benefits of chiropractic for me and my game. I realize how your body can get out of balance, and chiropractic care helps....."
