Leal Family Chiropractic — Local services in Muleshoe

Dr. Partain and his staff are part of our lives, keeping us moving smoothly. Dr. Partain listens to what it is bothering each of us in our family and works with us until we are moving smoothly!

In addition to our monthly visits, after suffering with increasing pain in my hips and Dr. Partain working with me for a year with multiple methods of adjusting in hopes of alleviating the pain, he referred me to a surgeon. Being diagnosed with severe osteoarthritis, hips bone-on-bone with cartilage missing and bone spurs in each hip, both hips were replaced. Enter again....Partain Chiropractic.

I had 3 weeks before my first surgery and Dr. Partain recommended that I walk on the Alter G Treadmill he has in his Muleshoe office. His hope was that the hip muscles would be stronger going into surgery to speed up recovery. IT WORKED!! The Alter G is a treadmill you step into, zip yourself in and the machine airs up and removes the pressure of gravity on the joints. I could walk on that machine without pain, even before the surgeries!

Following both surgeries, I spent the next year walking 20-30 minutes, 2-3 times a week on the Alter G. I had walked with a limp for so long (at least a year) prior to the double-hip replacement that I needed to retrain my brain on how to walk like I was 'healthy'. Dr. Partain told me I would have to do that but I assumed I would just be able to walk normally after the surgeries. He was right...I did need to learn how to walk smoothly again since I had learned to compensate for the pain by gimping around.

With the force of gravity removed from the hips, I was able to focus on regaining a smooth stride. Another feature of the Alter G is that you are able to walk backwards, which helped strengthen other muscles in the hip. As I progressed on the rehab road, I was able to increase the incline as well.

I HIGHLY recommend using the Alter G and following the advice and knowledge of Dr. Partain and his staff! Our family recommends seeing Dr. Partain on a regular basis to keep what you have been blessed with moving as well as it can! We appreciate him having a first-class clinic in our...

Sergio aka Eli is literally the best. He takes his time, listens, and gives the best client care by choosing treatments according to your needs. He is pleasant to be around and so is his staff. Leal Family Chiropractic is not your run-of-the-mill-crack-your-back-and-send-you-on-your-way chiropractor. He cares about his craft. I appreciate that he continues to expand his knowledge so he can give the client the best treatment modalities available. Most importantly he is honest. If he can't treat it, he will tell you so, instead of having you waste money and continue care that goes nowhere. S/O to all the staff who are exceptional especially Mindy, whose always been kind, generous and accommodating. If I could give 10...

I’ve been to several chiropractors before and Dr. Leal was absolutely incredible. He actually cared about my issues and didn’t just treat me like a number. I’ve suffered from years of debilitating low back pain, and through his care I’ve been able to stop taking pain medication and start playing with my kids again. He was direct and had a plan for me from the jump, he took my X-rays and explained to me in-detail what was going on with my back and how he was going to help me get back to normal life. I will be a patient of his for life! I couldn’t recommend him enough, Dr. Leal...
