I have been going to Select Spine and Sports for a couple years. Anytime I upset my chronic bad lower back I head in there and get massage therapy and an adjustment. Every time they get me back up and feeling good very quickly every time. They have great customer service and Dr.Denke is great and I have referred multiple friends and family there.
Early this summer I had a painful back injury. After numerous unsuccessful visits to my previous chiropractor, I decided to give Dr Denke a try. I am so glad I did. After just a few visits he had me pain free as well as he developed a strength and flexibility program to help me avoid this particular problem in the future. So far it's worked great! I haven't been able to stay out of the chiropractor office for more than a month at a time for many years. Now I only visit every 3-4 months for routine maintenance!
Wonderful place ,great doctor,everyone is very professional and sweet.
The staff is sweet and very competent. Dr Denkes approach has worked very well for my back pain and I've seen chiropractors for the past 7 years. The massage therapists do an excellent job and it compliments the chiropractic perfectly.
I called the office for the first time with a lot of pain and Doctor Joe saw me right away. Great service.
Dr. Denke and his staff are the best, professional, knowledgeable, friendly and clean environment. His concern not only treats the immediate but the long term as well. I highly recommend his services and we'll worth a visit.
This is the first chiropractor I’ve ever visited after hearing great things from friends. I now come here weekly and have never been disappointed!
I have been using Dr. Denke for 2 months! My back pain is greatly improving. He and his staff are amazing and friendly. Dr. Denke made a believer in chiropractic medicine out of me. After an injury from a car accident, I sought care. He not only assessed me quickly, he scheduled imaging and coordinated care with a spine and pain management doctor. I will continue to use him even after this injury is resolved.
I'm a chiropractor on the northwest side of town. I knew of Dr. Denke because of his reputation treating athletes, so when my shoulder started giving me trouble recently, I reached out to him. After just one treatment, my shoulder is at least 50% better--and that's after close to 6 months of continuous pain. Thanks, doc! I hope to meet you again soon for another session.
I've been a patient for several years. The staff is always professional, on time and polite. Dr. Denke uses several methods to relief my pain and is affective. I highly recommend Select Spine & Sport Medicine.
Very friendly and knowledgeable staff, with some top of the line equipment. Thank you
I have been receiving treatment from Dr Denke and his team weekly for over 6 months and am proud to call Select Spine & Sports Medicine my go-to for Chiropractic treatment and rehab. In that short time, Dr Denke diagnosed my symptoms in the first session and created a treatment and rehabilitation plan that has *finally* given me relief to issues I have had for over 5 years with little to no success seeing other professionals. Dr Denke and his team are a full service facility, not simply a "wham bam, we clicked you back into place, come see us next week" type outfit like many other Chiropractors across the Houston area. Hint: a lot of your success in recovery lies with the work you do outside of his office! I actually came to Dr Denke with high skepticism and distrust for what a "chiropractor" stood for, but he and his team have shown me over 6 months what true integrity, standards and professionalism can look like when done right. While I cannot say that I am "fixed", those with chronic or recurring symptoms know that even a week without much pain is a huge victory. I continue receiving treatment and doing my rehab work knowing that I am on a path to the goal of being "fixed". Honestly, I am just so happy to have been referred to Dr Denke by a friend and I hope I can repay him many times over by spreading the word of how he & his team has helped me.
I have been seeing Dr Goodson for a little over a month now and have seen dramatic improvement in the mobility of my shoulder. He is incredibly knowledgeable, and his regimen is yielding results! Highly recommend him and the Select Spine & Sports Medicine practice as a whole. 10/10 - would recommend !!
The best chiropractor ever.! So thankful for this clinic.!
Exceptional staff and doctor!
Drive over an hour away to come here! Worth the trip each time. Professional, honest, and Reliable
Friendly staff and Physician! Dr. Denke really listened and has selected a program that is placing me a path to healing and pain relief.
The staff and doctor Furman are excellent. Also what amazes me is physical therapy is offered at time of visit so you dont have to go to another provider.
Went in last week for neck pain I had been dealing with. I saw Dr.Goodson, he was so helpful, patient and knowledgeable. I was worried it would be a rushed visit but not at all he truly cares about his patients! I was very impressed with select spine & I would highly recommend him to anyone needing a great dr that truly cares!!
Dr. Denke provides world class care. Fixed my issue in 1 visit. Going back for regular adjustments. Staff was great. The office is fantastic. So glad I found Dr. Denke and staff. Left there feeling like a million bucks!
Dr. Denke and his staff are very helpful and caring.
I have been seeing Dr Denke for almost 2 years and have been very pleased with all treatments rendered. He is very professional and thorough. His massage therapists are also excellent. I have seen Sky many times for massages prior to my adjustment. The combination of massage and adjustment is terrific! I highly recommend Select Spine & Sport!
I have been a patient here for several years. Dr. Denke is very knowledgeable, he has a great bedside manner and is a nice guy. He listens well and answers questions.When I have pain ( mostly through my shoulders and neck) I always get relief here.
Great and accommodating staff with very easy scheduling. Dr.Denke is experienced and knowledgeable. The other doctor that works there is rated highly by my family members too. Sara does a great job providing massage therapy relief, and is highly educated as well! A+++
Such a nice place... Dr. Denke takes his time to really work and fix what needs to be adjusted and gets to the root of ever problem. Very clean and professional, also a great friendly staff that helps schedule you for future appointments.
It was my first time here and it's already helped me a bunch
Love the staff, the Thai massage and Dr. Denke. Never go enough, but feel awesome when I do.
This place is A+.Simple as that. I have been to several Chiropractors and can't even find a comparable experience. They go through recommend exercises and great care during massages. The Dr is very attentive to any concerns you have and its not just some get in/out mill. Works through each area of concern with great care and specificity. Whether its sports, car wreck, or just a slept wrong with a pain in the neck I am going here.
Great Experience! Dr. Denke and his staff were very informative and got me back in shape quickly! They went above and beyond to not only fix the issues I was having but also educated me on ways to prevent future injuries.
I hurt my back working out and called the office was able to get me and appointment the very next morning with Dr. Goodson. Which was a lifesaver! Doc did therapy and after and MRI we started decompression therapy in office and I feel so much better! Everyone has been so wonderful, the staff is quick to respond and fit you in to their schedule and the office is so clean and easy to get to. Highly recommend!
I have had chronic lower back pain for years. After having a terrible experience with a different chiropractor where they didn't listen, care, insufficient help, unfriendly, and oddly... too much patchouli incense burning everywhere, I pretty much swore off ever going to see a chiropractor again. Well, I finally got tired of muscling though the pain, and called up Select Spine and Sports Medicine. I could tell from my initial phone call interaction that I had come to the right place. Everyone from reception to physical therapy to Dr. Fuhrman were 100% awesome. Reception is super responsive, the physical therapist are helpful and nice, and Dr. Fuhrman is professional, sincere, and ultra knowledgeable. Best of all, my back pain is going away! I am really grateful for how Select Spine & Sports Medicine has helped me out. Google only lets me give 5 stars, but they get a million gold stars in my book. If you are unsure of where to go for chiropractic care, you won't go wrong with this group!
Great experience! The front staff was very informative when making the appointment for my teen. Dr. Denke was great with her, explained everything he was finding , showed her on the diagrams her muscles that were affected and treatment began right then. Exercises were demonstrated and practiced with her then she had a massage by Sara who was absolutely wonderful with her.
By far the best place to come with any pain needs. I've been coming here for all my sports injuries and I wouldn't want to go anywhere else for my injuries. Staff and Dr. Denke are the best of the best.
Best chiropractor I've ever been to hands down.
Dr. Denke and his staff are awesome. Very knowledgeable and provide awesome techniques to get you right again.
Dr. Denke and his team are amazing... professional, courteous, extremely capable, kind and friendly and the facility is always spotless. The scheduling and appointment reminders are first class. Extremely satisfied with every aspect of this great service in Friendswood..
Always come out feeling so relaxed, staff is amazing and really spends time with you, talking and listening. Dr. is great and I love that they want you to get well with exercise, stretching and good healthy choices for a full recovery not just a quick fix to keep you returning! Professional with a smile and style! Thank you!
Great job Everytime! Great service and knowledge! Thanks so much for all you do! Highly recommend 👍
What an awesome Dr and Staff. Always friendly and I can always get in for an appointment. He has helped me with my planters fasciitis!
They have helped me get back on the field faster than any other doctor I have ever been too. I strong suggest this place! People are great, there fast and I always enjoyed coming here.
Awesome experience. Very efficient and extremely professional. Love the consistency of care. You'll always know who is treating you. No surprises.
Doc Denke and his staff are A++++ Friendly staff, great massages, and conveniently located in Friendswood. The techniques used really help release the tighting and muscle tension in my shoulders and neck from computer work, etc. I consistently receive a high level of service after multiple visits over the last few months.
Excellent team and doctors!! Chiropractic care is essential to a healthy life❤️ Thank you Select S&S!!
Very professional and the treatment prescribed worked perfectly. Would recommend them to anybody.
Amazing place, great service, been coming here 3 years on and off and everytime I come it’s a great experience! 5 stars aren’t enough
The staff is fantastic! They work with crazy schedules. And to top it off, Dr. Denke has helped me stay active and pain free. He knows his stuff and considering he carries an active lifestyle, too, I believe it gives him an advantage to helping out with the issue(s).
Great Dr, excellent staff and therapy.
Dr. Denke has changed my life. In a few short visits, the pain in my back is gone. He is always so professional and remembers everyone. The staff is great and the massage therapists are the bomb!
I have a hard time finding someone to make a difference in how I feel but the treatments I receive from Dr Denke and the massage therapist are unbelievable! I finally found where I need to be. The staff is very welcoming and helpful. I highly recommend Dr. Denke.
Dr. Denke & his staff are the best ever! I started coming to see them about 2 months ago to help with pain in my thumb & wrist. Turns out I needed a lot more than I thought due to sitting at a desk working on a computer 8 hours a day. They have all been awesome & I highly recommend them!!!
I have been going to Dr Denke office for over 2 years. He and his staff are very professional. The massage therapists are great!!! I always leave feeling like a new person after a massage and adjustment. Love the information videos too!!
Doc Denke. Is amazing. Just started seeing him and I am feeling better. After having 3 back surgerys. Thanks Doc!!
I have a lot of old sports injuries that I deal with on a regular basis and when my physical therapist moved out of town I was left without anyone I trusted to adjust my back. One morning my rib popped out of place (a semi regular occurrence) so I was forced to find someone who could help. I asked around and everyone lead me to Dr. Denke. Not only did they get me in the same day, (love all the girls at the front!) he listened to me and trusted that I knew what the issue was. He didn’t try to force his own opinion on what may be going on, he simply did the adjustment that I knew I needed and I was out of the room in 5 minutes. So happy I found someone else I can trust to keep me living my active lifestyle.
I came into Select Spine and Sports with SEVERE lower back pain and was diagnosed by the ER Dr. with a pinched nerve. Dr. Denke knew there was more to my symptoms and referred me to get an MRI. Turns out I had a 4.5 bulging L-5 disc. I continued with 25 treatments of Decompression and my back was no longer in pain. It's been 1 year and my back is still pain free and I have no issues with my bulging disc. I was so impressed and grateful for the level of care I received with Select Spine and Sports, and their friendly staff, I decided I wanted to be apart of the team! I've now worked here for 10 months and have seen many patients with my same past issues leave pain free.
I selected Dr. Denke for his approach to wellness and sports medicine. I first visited Dr. Denke for lower and mid-back issues I'd experienced for months. While not debilitating, they were getting increasingly more painful. I felt great relief after the first two visits. I've been seeing Dr. Denke for six weeks and my back feels so much better! His knowledge and techniques go far beyond basic chiropractic. He uses active release and Graston techniques along with joint manipulation to achieve faster results. I felt very comfortable from the moment I walked in. The office is very well organized. His staff are all very professional, friendly and helpful. Thanks Miranda and Jerica! I have and will continue to recommend Select Spine & Sports Medicine to my family, friends and colleagues.Richard B
I was in a car accident and was referred to Dr. Denke's office by a friend, best decision I ever made. His staff is absolutely amazing, Jerrica and Bethany are always so sweet and welcoming at the front. The whole office makes the experience less of a headache when juggling life. I will definitely be back for regular adjustments and will always refer my friends to his office.
My daughter has slight upper spine scoliosis that causes pan her in neck and shoulders. She leaves the office pain free! The office staff is very nice and helpful.
I have been seeing Dr. Denke and his staff for a couple of years now. I highly recommend his services.The staff is very friendly and caring. Love it here!!
Liked the doctor and his office staff!
I was expeiencing pain in both hips (couldn’t drive for more than 10 minutes without a great deal of discomfort), right rib cage was super sore, lower back pain and sciatica burning pain on right outer thigh. I couldn’t pinpoint what triggered all of this as there were multiple issues, not just one.A friend recommended I make an appointment with Dr. Joe Fuhrman. so I did. Dr. Fuhrman listened to all my complaints while asking clarifying questions throughout. Without going into all the details, I’ll simply say that I was amazed how quickly he pinpointed the problem (s). He gave me an ititial “treatment” that gave me immediate relief. I will need a few follow up sessions as healing is a process.Don’t live in pain. Go see Dr. Fuhrman.
Dr. Denke didn't treat my symptoms--he found my problem and we treated that! His knowledge of how the human body works is amazing.
My trainer recommended that I start coming here and I have nothing but good things to say! It has made such a huge improvement in my workouts and progress.
Denke is wonderful!! His staff are the best. Always very helpful and friendly.
As always loved my visit. Also got my first infusion treatment yesterday, And I feel amazing! Thanks Team!
Knowledgeable Chiro, always smiling techs and exceptional massage therapists. Will definitely refer friends and family!
Select spine and sports is a very friendly and professional place. The staff there are very kind and great at there jobs. They have helped me with my injuries. I highly recommend them
I've been seeing Dr. Denke and Skye for the last year now and I can't believe what a difference getting regular massage and chiropractic care makes! Dr. Denke is very thorough and professional yet friendly. I can't say enough good things about this office.
Great people they are the best..
Tweaked my back and Dr. Denke straightened me RIGHT UP. Couldn't have had a better experience at Select Spine & Sports Medicine. Very profressional, thorough, and got me back where I needed to be quickly.
I went in a week after injuring my back at work. Making the appointment as super easy, and once I got in the office everyone was very friendly and welcoming. The day after I went in was the first day in a week that I was able to stand up straight and two days later, the pain was gone. I strongly recommend this place
Best chiropractor in town! Super friendly staff, and Dr. Denke takes his time with you and your needs. He doesn't rush your appointment, and he doesn't treat you as if you are just another number in line to see him. I see him on a weekly basis, and he and his staff definitely do not disappoint!
dr denke and his staff are phenomenal so friendly and efficient diagnosed me right away and i felt better after just the first visit
I've been having back pain for quite awhile and have been hesitant on seeing a chiropractor. When enough was enough, I took the plunge and scheduled my first appointment. From the very beginning, the staff was wonderful and provided a step by step process of how my visit would go. Dr. Denke was very professional and detailed about what would happens during the visit. After my first adjustment by Dr. Denke, I was able to experience my first night back pain free! I can't wait for my future adjustments.
Dr. Joe Denke is more than just a professional at his craft. He cares for his patients and goes the extra mile to make sure you are treated with the upmost care and hospitality while getting your health back to a full 100%.
Fantastic Doctor and Staff. Can’t imagine going anywhere else.
I highly recommend Select Spine and Sports!!! I went in with a lot of neck and shoulder discomfort and Dr. Denke and his team were able to help me on my road to recovery with therapeutic messages and adjustments.Thanks to them I am able to live my life to the fullest without any discomfort:)
Great office with great care. Dr. Denke is an amazing adjuster!
Finding this place for, my husband and I, has been a God send! I've seen my husband's chronic back pain lessen more and more with every visit. As for me, the tension I carry in my neck and shoulder area has gotten so much better from just one visit. I'm excited to see how much more relieved I'll feel after today's visit. I'll whole-heartedly recommend Dr. Denke and his friendly staff to anyone who asks 🙂
Dr. Denke has helped me greatly to recover from bulging disc l3, l4,l5. With out him and his knowledgeable staff i would have to have surgery. Thanks Dr. Denke
The whole staff is amazing and very personable. They do not rush though your appointment and they make sure you have a clear understanding of your whole treatment process. Dr. Denke is litteraly the best chiropractor i have been to. I highly recommend them to everyone. I tell everyone at my job and at the gym about select spine and sports.
Excellent staff and Dr. Joe is great
