Four ear infections, 6 weeks of sleepless nights and sick-cranky days, lack of appetite and fever led my husband and me to hours of conversations with friends finding out what options we had to care for our 10-month-old son.  Upon recommendation of several friends, we pursued chiropractic care through Dr. Chavez.  Through his care, including…

Initially I came in for back and neck pain.  I have been to chiropractors and other alternative medicine [practitioners] before for back pain.   I found a difference with Vita Nova, however.  The mission of education and empowerment to making healthy life decisions makes the difference. Starting those changes in decisions starts with the foundational belief and trust…

Dear Dr. Chavez, I would like to sincerely thank you for providing me the opportunity to type this letter to you, and I mean literally!  Months ago, I questioned my future to complete such a simple task as typing. Eight months ago, I started having pains, numbness and tingling in both of my legs and…

When it came time to fill out my re-evaluation form, I found myself circling the highest numbers regarding how well I was currently feeling in specific parts of my body.  This was such an amazing improvement from before I started receiving chiropractic care quite recently!  It dawned on me how much better I was doing,…

I came to see Dr. Chavez in August 2010 after suffering for 5 months with extreme hormone troubles:  I could not sleep and I was often anxious and depressed.  I really could no longer function.  I received relief within a few treatments and now my sleep is wonderful and so is life.  My whole family…

I have had lower back and sciatica problems, and I was having numbing going down my arms and hands.  I have now seen Dr. Mario for a little over six months and the numbing going down my arm and hands has decreased significantly because of the treatments and the pillow that I use twice a…

In the last 10 years, I have been to 6 chiropractors in 3 different states and have FINALLY found one that really works, Dr. Mario Chavez and the NUCCA technique! The first appointment at Vita Nova, I was quite impressed.  The receptionist introduced herself, asked if I would like some hot tea or water, made…

When I first heard of Vita Nova I was with my dad at a golf show.  We were just looking around when we stopped at this booth.  I told Dr. Mario Chavez that I get headaches, so he looked at me and the next thing you know, I am visiting him at his spinal care…

I first saw Dr. Chavez at the Colorado Golf Expo in Feb 2011. Like any avid golfer, I was intrigued by the possibility of improving my golf game.  The results I have experienced have gone way beyond just improving my golf game!  In fact, I have noted results that I never dreamed of. After just…

Fibromyalgia.  I was in my senior year high school, a year that was meant for success, celebration and enjoyment, but instead was filled with severe pain, seclusion and loneliness. I rarely could attend school and was lucky if I could ever get out of bed for days.  I would wake up, literally shaking, in pain. …

Dr. Chavez has really helped our son’s improvement from a neck injury which occurred a few years ago.  Dr. Chavez’s treatments appear to have helped improve our son’s focus, emotional control, balance, and overall physical well being.  Our son responds well to Dr. Chavez and is always willing to have his appointments.  He even likes…

I have been going to Vita Nova Spinal Care since the beginning of January 2012.  The results I’ve had from Dr. Chavez’s prognosis and adjustments in this short time I’ve been going have been nothing short of amazing. I have had migraines for 16 years, which I thought I had handled when I finally managed…

I am a 65-year-old woman with a history of severe arthritis and osteoporosis.  I have had both my knees replaced, a 12 inch rod put in my hip and my right shoulder replaced due to the arthritis.  I was scheduled to replace my left shoulder in February 2012.   My daughter finally convinced me to see…

I must say when Dr. Chavez accosted me nearly two years ago at the Farmer’s Market I commented to him that this must be Providence.  His appearance in my life at that time was a God-send. For many years, off and on, I had suffered from sore knees and a bad back.  My first year…

I’ve been in construction all my life, beginning at age 15.  Concrete, masonry, swimming pools, heavy highway construction, home building is where my time was spent. In 1974, I kept a concrete finishing machine from going through a heavy plastic tent in order to save over 2000 sq feet of concrete in below 20 degree…
