Accident & Family Chiropractic Center, LLC

I chose chiropractic care after suffering more than 15 years with constant pain. Previous treatment for my pain consisted of prescription medications (many which are no longer marketed for human consumption) to treat my "symptoms.? On my first visit I was grumpy (my pain often made me feel this way) but I was greeted by Sylvia who had a bubbly smile and positive attitude. Dr. Siebanaler immediately began treatment by educating me about the musculoskeletal system and nervous system and how disorders within these systems can adversely affect our health. Based on his consult, it was abundantly clear that any benefit I might derive from his care would not be without some effort on my part. I found it refreshing to find he was genuinely interested in helping me feel better. After I had my first treatment, I gained some immediate relief. This encouraged me to further my treatment which has proven to be one of the best investments I ever made in myself. After 9-mos of chiro trmt and hm exercise, I feel better physically and emotionally. My friends and family comment that I am no longer grumpy. I smile--a big smile-- like a person who enjoys life. Most importantly, I no longer begin and end each day with pain. If I do have pain, I perform exercises which help alleviate the pain. I also know Dr. Siebanaler will work w/me until I feel better. Today I completed my 1st month of the gut reconditioning program. During this time, I have become more aware about how my diet affects my body and overall well-being. Another benefit has been an unanticipated 25 lb wt loss. This program is not about starvation, it is about good nutrition. Since I've begun eating healthier I?ve learned to listen to my body which has in turned improved my health. I have also found a natural cure for my hot flashes (no hormones for me). I suffered from embarrassing hot flashes for the past year and nothing worked until I began using supplements from Standard Process.

Pros: individual attention, most patients willingly share their experience

I first became a patient about 2 years ago. Having struggled with finding the right fit & acceptable results within a chiropractic office, a friend of mine, who was also receiving treatment from Dr. Siebenaler, insisted that I go. I was in significant pain so I agreed. It was not a difficult decision to agree on accepting care because I fully understood and appreciated what chiropractic care could do for one?s overall health, never mind what it can do for someone like me who has had reoccurring pain for over 10 years. I had been to many doctors before I landed in the front door of Accident and Family Chiropractic Center and there were two significant things that kept me here: First, was Dr. Frank?s extensive knowledge and special attention to me, my needs and my health. Secondly, was his staff, Sylvia and Melanie, who are very personable and fun to talk with, which is important to a patient like me, because of the extensive treatment and exercises I am forced to do! (ha! Gotcha!) I have benefited in so many ways but I feel compelled to share the most important. I was experiencing a tremendous amount of lower back pain and was unable to perform my day-to-day activities. Simple things like sitting, standing, riding in a car, sleeping, etc. were difficult and painful. And in all seriousness, I could have handled that to a certain degree if it weren?t for the fact that I could no longer pick up or hold my two year old daughter at the time. But, soon after beginning care I was able to do so. What I have valued the most about my care has been exactly that, I am cared for. Dr. Frank, in my opinion, goes above and beyond his calling, and cares so very much about his patients and restoring their health and mobility.I feel that I have not only benefited from restored health and mobility but on a much broader level.

I have used chiropractic care for 15+ years. When I moved to Austin 2.5 years ago I wanted to continue this care. I was looking for an effective chiropractor in Austin, someone who used diversified techniques. I tried several places but I had a hard time finding a doctor whose techniques worked for me. I ended up getting a recommendation from my acupuncturist to see Dr. Siebenaler. Once I began to see Dr. Frank, my health status really turned around. I have been feeling considerably healthier and more balanced. I have had few, if any, headaches, my sinus congestion has disappeared for the most part, I have much more energy, and overall, I feel dramatically better! Not only do I think that Dr. Siebenaler is the best chiropractor in Austin; he?s got great personality, too!! I have had lots of fun here, as well as receiving a great adjustment.

My job as a piano player put tremendous strain on my upper back and my whole upper body. Playing daily for hours at a time has taken its toll on my hands, forearms and my neck and back. From the moment I met Dr. Siebenaler, I could sense his confidence and it empowered me to follow through with his treatment regimen. I have felt more flexibility and a sense of youthfulness and well being that I?d forgotten I was capable of having. I approach each day with more vigor and am able to get more involved in recreational activities that I used to shy away from, but now enjoy with no fear of pain.

I first became a patient because I was injured in a car accident and I needed a chiropractor that was conveniently located. After meeting Dr. Siebenaler I immediately felt comfortable that he could help my condition. My overall view was that his practice truly devoted their efforts to their patients? care and they were dedicated to their patients? concerns. After receiving just a few adjustments, I experienced a lot of improvement, and I was able to remain seated during class, which allowed me to concentrate during class without feeling too much pain in my back and neck. I also received more relief from my headaches allowing me to study more efficiently. My treatment included much needed exercises to improve the strength and flexibility in my back. And now I have the ability and knowledge to continue to strengthen my back and my body because Dr. Frank?s emphasis upon proper exercise techniques. Now I understand how my back affects my overall health. Thanks, Dr. Frank!
