Testimonials

Thursday, August 13th, 2009

“I was lead to Dr. Bob, not accidentally, but because I was truly seeking healing. His shamanic demeanor is very calming along with his excellent listening skills. I was surprised that my appointment was 40 to 50 minutes in duration compared to previous chiropractic appointments where I was “in and out” in 10 minutes after a quick neck or back adjustment.  Dr. Bob integrates patient friendly chiropractic techniques with massage, cranio-sacral work, intuition, yoga and energetic healing (feels like Reiki). The treatments put me in an altered state-of-consciousness, which I call the “healing-gap”, where my body, mind and spirit are seeking alignment. Dr. Bob also provides nutritional information, education products, and networks with other health professionals to help with your healing journey. I am grateful not only for his intention, but for his ATTENTION to where the healing needs to happen”.

Connie Martinez  - LMT - Salt Lake City


“While visiting Salt Lake City from Sacramento, I had a flare-up of chronic back pain. I was hesitant to go to a chiropractor without a personal recommendation, but my pain was too intense to wait. I found Dr. Bob on the web and gave him a call. He was able to get me in on the same day and I was really impressed by his technique and gentleness. He not only addressed my upper back where the pain was, but he also worked on my lower and mid-back, places where tightness were slowly developing, which I was hardly aware of.  It took several sessions for the severe pain in my neck and upper back to subside, but I felt immediate relief.  Dr. Bob uses a gentle, holistic approach, incorporating  many different techniques to achieve pain relief and good alignment. Even though I live too far away to become a regular patient of Bob’s, he never skimped on the time or attention that he paid to me. He is one of the best chiropractors I’ve ever had. Whenever I come back to Salt Lake City, I know that my back will be taken care of “.

Julie B - Sacramento, California


“I have been suffering with back pain from unknown causes for over 9 years. During that time, I have had many treatments and have visited many professionals. I have been going to Dr. Bob for almost a year now, and I have found his treatments to be the most effective in relieving my pain. His treatment combination of muscle-massage and spinal adjustments have turned out to be the magic combination for my body, and is much more effective than either of those treatments alone. I also appreciate the amount of time that he spends with me on each visit, making sure that I’m feeling well-aligned and feeling good before leaving. I appreciate that Dr. Bob takes the time to explain to me what would be best for me and what he feels is going on in my body and doesn’t pressure me into coming three adjustments per week. I am able to schedule my own appointments when I feel I need them. I would highly recommend Dr. Bob to anyone considering chiropractic, whether or not you have been to a chiropractor or not “.

N. Stayner - Salt Lake City

“Receiving holistic chiropractic care from Dr. Bob was a totally different chiropractic experience…I didn’t have to have my neck popped…”

“The time spent with Dr. Bob was invaluable…my doctor actually listened to me and spent time with me…you’d have to see what it’s like for yourself…”

“No physician has ever informed me more about the natural holistic and wellness choices that I have for myself, my family & friends…”

“I wasn’t left in a treatment room and I wasn’t sold anything…I had an empowering experience…”

“I never realized how the different systems of the body can interact with each other physically, chemically, emotionally…I can now be more pro-active rather than re-active in taking care of myself, and be less dependent on medications, or other medical and surgical procedures…”

“I’m realizing that if I began holistic chiropractic sooner that I wouldn’t have to be seeing as many doctors as I do…”

Q: How much Personal Injury Protection (PIP) do you have? How much do you need?

A: Most people only purchase $3,000 worth of  PIP, which is the least expensive, BUT this amount is not enough - doctor and hospital bills these days are very expensive; thousands or hundred of thousands of dollars.

Answer 2. Dr. Bob, holistic chiropractor in Salt Lake City, Utah, about three years ago was involved in a motorcycle accident in Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake City, Utah. He was ambulanced to the local University Hospital, Salt Lake City, Utah – cost $850; if he had to be air-flighted it would have cost about $1500 / mile. Then you have the costs for emergency care, for any pain injections or pain medications, for a team of trauma doctors, for x-rays, CT Scans or MRI’s. These costs could amount to over $7500. Then depending on the nature of your accident you may need rehabilitation and physical therapy proceeded by out-patient medical care and chiropractic care. You could easily be over $50,000. Your initial $3,000 of PIP doesn’t go too far!

Q: How much would it cost you for a $100,000 worth of Personal Injury Protection?

A: There are different factors involved, but it could only cost $10 to $15 more per month. Best to contact your auto insurance agent.

Q: Myth or Truth? Will your insurance premiums increase if you or a member of your family use your Personal Injury Protection?

A: These days with our current economy medical costs will keep on increasing, but if you receive the proper treatment for your auto accident immediately following your injury in the long term you or your family member will pay less in medical or chiropractic care, have an increased quality of life rather then not receive the medical or chiropractic care that you ought to have immediately following your injury. Immediately after a whiplash a child, teen, adolescent, adult ought to be examined by a chiropractor doctor.

Q: What are the disadvantages of not being treated immediately after a car accident?

A: Most people don’t feel pain after a car accident because they are in such trauma. Trauma may not subside until after 1-2-3-4 weeks! So it’s best to see your chiropractor right after the car accident to get checked. Whether a kid, teen, adolescent or adult is involved in a small or more serious auto accident, if the injury is not treated immediately afterwards there will be increased residual damage and degeneration to the joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons involved. The sooner that your child, teen, adolescent receives the proper healthcare the more healthy their future will be.

Body Mind Healing ~ Salt Lake City

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

A Holistic Approach Towards Healing

Dr. Bob’s training and education as a chiropractor uses the science, art & philosophy of chiropractic to assist the bodies’ innate healing functions and processes for children, teenagers and adults, and incorporates a body-mind-spirit approach towards health & healing.

With his hands-on experience for over 23 years in the healthcare field, Dr. Bob gently uses his hands, heart and intuition to locate what are called chiropractic vertebral sub-lux-a-tions (sub meaning less than and lux meaning light or position). So the chiropractic vertebral subluxation is having within your body a less than optimal functioning.

As a chiropractor Dr. Bob locates these vertebral sub-lux-a-tions, also known as nerve interference that exists within the individual’s body. After locating the vertebral subluxation Dr. Bob performs a gentle chiropractic adjustment (which doesn’t hurt). This chiropractic adjustment helps to manifest and restore a homeostasis and optimal functioning within your body & mind. An optimally functioning nervous system leads to optimal health & well-being!

Dr. Bob’s Holistic Chiropractic & Wellness serves as an adjunct for people participating in any mind-body process work, counseling or psychotherapy, because the chiropractic adjustment (the aspect of using gentle hands) assists in the natural healing processes of your body & mind. Oftentimes, just talking about personal issues in counseling or psychotherapy can be a  strenuous process.

This information is solely given for the purpose of general information / education and is not intended to be used for any kind of self-diagnosis or self-treatment. If you have any questions about your health and well-being you can Dr. Bob Seiler, a Salt Lake City holistic chiropractor at (801) 230-0166 or your physician.

Meet Dr. Bob & Scottish Golf

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Meet Dr. Bob…

Dr. Bob Seiler is not only extensively trained in chiropractic, he has followed his passions around the world. He is an avid golfer, having traveled to Scotland to experience the birthplace of golf ! He’s seen the exoticism of the Far East via Hong Kong, Taiwan and China as well as the antiquity of Europe. His out-of-the-ordinary lifestyle offers you a non-traditional approach to health and well-being. Feel free to call our office at (801) 230-0166.

Golf on the Hallowed-Grounds…
In the Spring of 2008 Dr. Bob took the ultimate golf trip and journeyed to Scotland,  where he played the Belleisle course in Ayrshire; Royal Troon where the Senior British Open was held in 2008. Then onto Old Prestwick where the first British Open took place in 1861; and then to Carnoustie’s Buddon & Burnside courses. At the Championship course Dr. Bob  challenged “Hogan’s Alley”, the Par 5, 6th hole. This is where Ben Hogan after he had recovered from his severe car accident, would drive his tee-shot over the out-of-bounds of the adjacent fairway of the 6th hole and then have his shot fade back into the 6th fairway. Ben Hogan did this in all four rounds in order to reach this Par 5 in two!




Playing golf in Scotland is an out of this world experience! The Scottish refer to these golf courses as “hallowed- grounds”, that is “sacred-grounds”. To be able to walk these courses as did the greats: Tom Morris, Bobby Jones, Walter Hagen, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Tom Watson and Tiger Woods. It’s indescribable! The fun part is that you reserve your tee-time a year in advance; when that day comes, you play in wind, rain or fair weather.

Dr. Bob also caddied for Orville Moody in 1970 where “Sarge” shot a 64 at The Dow Jones Open. But that’s another story…

Education:
Graduated from Life West Chiropractic College, Hayward, California. Massage certified from The McKinnon Institute, Oakland, California. Attended the University of Oregon in Eugene with a BA in psychology. Grew up in New Jersey. Lived in Hackensack, Seattle, Chicago, the Bay Area and Salt Lake City.

Other interests:
Motorcycles, bicycling, salsa dancing, photography, classical guitar, tuning into “the Golf Channel”, gardening, music, Buddhism and best of all being a Dad.

Your journey to optimal HEALTH and WELLNESS can begin today. Your health is a process and will take some time. There aren’t too many magical pills. The sooner that you can begin to improve the functioning of your body & mind chemically, emotionally and structurally the better you can feel and the better that your life can be!

Your First Visit & Methods of Payment

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Q:  How long will I have to wait for my first appointment?

A:  Dr. Bob usually sees most patients within 24 hours of their initial call. His office hours are flexible with morning, afternoon, some evenings and weekend appointments. You may call 801-230-0166 for your initial appointment or for emergency care including weekends.

Q: How long will my first and follow-up sessions last?

A: Initial treatments are about an hour. To better understand your health needs, Dr. Bob would like to know what hasn’t worked for you with previous physicians. If you have any previous lab work, blood work, urinalysis reports, x-rays, MRI’s, CT Scans, please bring them to your initial appointment. You are welcome to invite your partner or significant other to the initial consultation, which could help Dr. Bob better understand your patient history. Most chiropractors will have you come back on a second visit after taking x-rays to recommend to you a series of multiple treatments, which is more of a traditional chiropractic approach. Instead Dr. Bob works non-traditionally. There’s more to healing than just repeated chiropractic adjustments. Dr. Bob would prefer that you come in for a few holistic sessions, so that he can better understand the health connection between your body-mind-spirit. This will allow Dr. Bob, holistic chiropractor, Salt Lake City, Utah, to make the best health and wellness recommendations for your healing within the most realistic time-frame.Then it’s up to you to choose if you would like to begin this new process of living differently!

Follow-up visits are typically about 30 minutes depending on what is needed for your patient care. If what you have just read appeals to you, and if you are interested in partnering with a holistic chiropractor, and if you’re willing to make some lifestyle changes, then please call our office to schedule your initial new patient intake at  801-230-0166! If  we are unable to answer your call please leave a message which would be confidential and we will return your call as soon as we can.

Q:  Will Dr. Bob Seiler, holistic chiropractor in Salt Lake City, Utah, always give chiropractic adjustments?  I’ve heard about those “popping - cracking noises” and sometimes I feel uncomfortable with them?

A:  Dr. Bob Seiler’s holistic chiropractic philosophy is that the chiropractic adjustment may not be beneficial for everyone, and at times the chiropractic adjustment may not be advised. Dr. Bob Seiler, holistic chiropractor, Salt Lake City, Utah, will explain to you the benefits of the the chiropractic adjustment, and if the chiropractic adjustment can be comfortably received there will usually be a gentle release of pressure from the joints or vertebrae in your body. This release of energy of oxygen and nitrogen in the joint capsule usually leads to a soft and gentle popping sound which provides increased joint range of motion, blood flow, nerve energy, lymphatic system drainage to enhance the healing mechanisms within your body. If the chiropractic adjustment is given to the correct areas of your body with the correct and gentle force, then there will be gentle releases of energy. Again it’s up to you to find a gentle holistic chiropractor that blends with your physical and emotional chemistry.

Q:  What forms of payment does Dr. Bob accept?

A:  Dr. Bob accepts most major credit cards, personal check, cash, your auto insurance, selected medical / work injury related insurances, and out-of-network insurance benefits may apply. If you have insurance you may call your insurance company to verify your chiropractic coverage. If you call your insurance company please ask the following questions and write down their answers to bring to Dr. Bob’s office when you come in for your initial appointment. Ask the following questions: 1. Ask if you have chiropractic benefits? 2. What are your chiropractic benefits? 3. Do you have a deductible to be met and what is that deductible? 4. How much of the deductible has been met? 5. Have any of your chiropractic visits been used for this calendar year? 6. What is your calendar year? 7. Do you have a co-pay or co-insurance and how much is it? If you don’t have chiropractic insurance please call our office at 801-230-0166 to see how we can help you to allow you to receive holistic chiropractic care.

Affordable individual and family chiropractic wellness monthly plans are available! Through holistic chiropractic care you, your family & friends can increase your health resiliency to help resist pain, injury, chronic illness and disease!  Feel free to call our office at 801.230.0166 to schedule your initial appointment, and if necessary ways that you can afford holistic chiropractic care.

Holistic Chiropractic ~ A Healing Art

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Q: Do all chiropractors practice the same?

A:  No. Each chiropractor practices differently based upon the Chiropractic College attended and the chiropractor’s philosophy toward pain relief or healing. It’s most important that you work with a chiropractor whose chiropractic philosophy feels right for you so that healing can occur!

Q:  What is Dr. Bob’s  meaning of “Holistic Chiropractic & Wellness”?

A: Holistic Chiropractic & Wellness refers to the relationship of healing within the individual’s body which consists of the physical, chemical, emotional, and spiritual. Dr. Bob’s  Holistic Chiropractic & Wellness integrates these dimensions. Not many chiropractors practice this way!  Some chiropractors may claim to do holistic chiropractic but you may very surprised what you receive as holistic!

Q:  Does Dr. Bob refer his patients to other healthcare professionals?

A:  Sometimes a person needs to work with several healthcare professionals simultaneously to attain optimal Health and Wellness. When needed Dr. Bob may refer his patients to medical doctors, naturopathic & osteopathic physicians, neurologists, physical therapists, psychologists and licensed social workers in order to create a holistic healing integration.

Q: Who Can Benefit from “Holistic Chiropractic & Wellness”?

A:  For Children, Adolescents, Adults who are willing to believe that there is more to our health then just taking “pills”, or just receiving chiropractic adjustments! I’m sorry to disappoint you, but to be healthy & have a resiliency to pain, injury, illness & disease, you do need to do more then just receive chiropractic adjustments.

Q: What is the difference between the “Medical Model” and the “Wellness Model”?

A:  Dr. Bob’s  experience has been that most people wait until pain, injury and illness occurs, then people seek emergency help which is usually quite invasive, expensive and potentially devastating.  This is the Medical Model.

The Wellness Model is an alternative healthcare approach to Wellness which involves a person consistently taking care of themselves with good nutrition, proper exercise & sleep, routine lab work from your medical doctor/gynecologist, regular chiropractic care along with a positive attitude. Living this kind of lifestyle will help people resist pain, injury, illness, disease & improve quality of living!

Can Holistic Chiropractic Help?

Tuesday, April 14th, 2009

Q:  I don’t know if holistic chiropractic can help me? Sometimes other healthcare professionals tell me not to see a chiropractor. “How do I know if holistic chiropractic can help?”

A:  Dr. Seiler wouldn’t allow another healthcare professional to tell you not to see a holistic chiropractor. Other healthcare professionals didn’t attend a four year chiropractic college, and  really don’t understand the healing philosophy of chiropractic. The training and philosophy of each medical practitioner and the schools that they attend is different in their treating pain, injury, illness, disease than to more natural ways of holistic chiropractic.  Chiropractors actually take more class hours in studying the body than any other healthcare practitioner. The choice is more about either waiting until your pain becomes a serious health problem, and then receive medications other invasive procedures or hospitalization or be more pro-active right now to resist pain, injury, dysfunction, illness, disease.

If you’ve never seen a holistic chiropractor before , please allow Dr. Bob Seiler, holistic chiropractor, Salt Lake City, Utah to be your first holistic chiropractic experience, and to offer you, your family or friends , the most current and researched methods of healing! You may reach us at at 801-230-0166 to schedule your initial new patient system review!

What is “Holistic Chiropractic”?

A:  Each chiropractor has his or her own particular personality / philosophy and way of doing chiropractic. There aren’t too many chiropractors that do chiropractic the same. There are over 75 different chiropractic techniques. Each chiropractor develops his or her own way of practicing chiropractic depending on which chiropractic college they attended, and what they think is best ways for patient healing. Dr. Bob’s, holistic chiropractor, Salt Lake City, Utah philosophy isn’t of repeated chiropractic treatments, which is common for many chiropractors. For Dr. Bob there is more to health, healing & well-being than just receiving chiropractic adjustments!

There’s a holistic consciousness and a healing connection within your body-mind-spirit, which involves making better lifestyle choices to enhance wellness, to resist pain, injury, illness & disease. People can either continue to do things the same way, or the ways that may not have worked for other family members or friends, or be willing to begin a new health & wellness process.

You may need to do a little research to see what philosophy or style of chiropractic that you like and see what style or chiropractic philosophy works best for you.  Dr. Bob Seiler, holistic chiropractor, Salt Lake City, Utah offers a free consultation so that you and Dr. Bob would be a good fit in working together. Dr. Bob Seiler, holistic chiropractor, Salt Lake City, Utah is very gentle by nature. He is a very compassionate, supportive holistic chiropractor and person. He will let you know if he thinks holistic chiropractic can help you. For more information on mind-body healing, please see Holistic Chiropractic Bodywork & Psychology

Q: What is  Dr. Bob’s  holistic chiropractic philosophy?

A:  Dr. Bob believes that pain, illness, injury and suffering is a combination of different factors. It could be from:

  • a person’s actual birthing process,
  • trauma when you were in the womb,
  • the different postures you had as an infant whether lying on your stomach, curled in your bed, or falling out of bed,
  • how your posture was in grade school; how you may have slouched in chairs or sofas,
  • falling off the monkey-bars in the school playground or landing on your back-side off the slide,
  • tripping down some steps, falling on your back, or slipping on an iced driveway,
  • being on your school’s cheering team and performing repeated landings on those wooden, cemented, asphalt surfaces,
  • playing sports like football, wrestling, volleyball, swimming, fencing,
  • skiing, wiping-out and crashing into a tree or ski slopes,
  • falling off your bicycle, doing gymnastics, playing common repetitive injury-proned sports such baseball, softball, volleyball or golf,
  • those slow moving car accidents when people often say, “Oh, nothing really happened in my car accident.  I’m OK.  I felt no pain“!  A lot of those nothing really happened car accidents are during an initial period of trauma. Most people are so traumatized by the suddeness of a car accident, that they are unable to feel any pain or injury. It could take  take several days or several weeks to begin to feel any soreness, stiffness, popping neck sounds, headaches following a car accident or even any other injury. That’s why it’s best to get checked by a holistic chiropractor soon after your accident,
  • sitting at your computer / desk most of the day,
  • gardening, putting in a patio, cleaning out your garage,
  • painting your house, installing a bathroom or kitchen floor, or putting up dry-wall,
  • working out in the gym too much, from doing the incorrect exercises, lifting weights improperly or not taking the right yoga class for your ability,
  • experiencing stress with career, job, money, relationships, separations or divorce,
  • experiencing forms of abuse: verbal, emotional, physical, sexual,

All of the above events can create pain (physical, emotional, chemical), illness, disease and suffering. We can either wait for a problem to reach significant pain levels or begin to get help as soon as reasonably possible. There are natural ways to relieve pain, injury, illness and disease rather than ingest medications with all their side-effects. When you see a pharmaceutical commercial on TV and it asks you to call your doctor to see if   ” ______ “  is right medication for you even with it’s 15 different side-effects, why not instead do something natural to help yourself.  Even though science tries to create new methods to control disease, the anti-resistant bacteria seem to be prevailing.

How would you know which Chiropractor to go to?

A: Dr. Bob offers you his web-site to get an idea of who he is and how he practices holistic chiropractic. You’re invited to schedule a complementary consultation! You’re also welcome to bring your significant other or partner if you’d like. Together we can see if holistic chiropractic can help you. If you have any previous lab work, urinalysis results, x-rays,  MRI’s, CT Scans  within a year old please bring them. If you don’t have them you are still welcome to call for your free consultation!   Dr. Bob can be reached at 801-230-0166!

Q:  When is the best time to begin holistic chiropractic care?

A:  Your children can be checked to see if holistic chiropractic can benefit them. Children’s bodies are exposed to many environmental, physical, emotional and chemical harmful stimuli and stresses at school, in the playground, at home, and while playing different sports. Lessening the likelihood for obesity, diabetes and heart disease is best to monitor when children are in grade school.
