About Dr. Donald Liebell
Dr. Donald Liebell
Chronic Pain Solutions
"You have literally saved my life!"
"I
was at a point where, after 18 years of pain and suffering, there was
no point in continuing to try to live with unbearable pain, which only
got worse as I got older. I had run the whole gamut of doctors who would
not listen to my symptoms and offered no help except drugs, that made
me even sicker. Without
Dr. Liebell I would never have found so much help…my neck and back,
thanks to his treatments are nearly 100 percent better. He and his staff
are friends I want to have for the rest of my life, and thanks to him,
it will be long and pain free."
—Lois Haynes,
Smithfield, VA
“The other doctors told me I’d be wheelchair-bound."
"I tried rheumatologists and physical therapy…all kinds of medicine. I had all the tests: MRI, CAT scans, blood tests and x-rays. All these tests were USELESS…COSTLY...PAINFUL…and DEPRESSING!
But
Dr. Liebell’s treatment has made me feel better. It’s very comfortable
and I can make it through the day now! I have recommended Dr. Liebell to
many people—he listens, he cares about you. If you don’t take the
chance at getting help from him, you’ll never know how much better your
quality of life can be."
- Kathy Peters,
Virginia Beach
"I just praise God that I found Dr. Liebell"
“If you’re tired of hearing that “YOU”
are the cause of your problems, or you should have done “this or
that”—go see Dr. Liebell. He’ll give you the straight talk and get you
out of the terrible pain and sleepless nights…You’ll be placing yourself
in some very loving, capable hands”
- Margie Hopper,
Virginia Beach
I just want to thank you for giving me my life back
"I went to numerous doctors. None of them helped me. Part of the problem was they were not LISTENING!
You found
the cause of my pain on the first visit. Thanks to you, I am now able
to do everything I use to do. Before you treated me, I had many
limitations. Pain was my constant companion. I will always be grateful
for all you have done. Thank you for your compassion and
understanding.”
- Kathy Gomez,
Virginia Beach
"I'm like a brand new person!"
"I couldn’t function—I couldn’t work, I couldn’t stand up, sit down or drive. So I was out of commission for a year and a half…Then I heard about Dr. Liebell. I decided to go... it was the best thing I ever did in my life! After my very first treatment, I knew this was the place that I had to be and I wish I had found him 3 years ago. Dr. Liebell is fantastic, very sympathetic and caring. He has essentially given me my life back. I feel great and I don’t hurt anymore…Pain?? I don’t have any pain—I’m like a brand-new person right now…Forget your skepticism—don’t waste a moment and get checked. Maybe you can get your life back too!!”
-Linda Hill.
Virginia Beach
I had so many pains and taken so much medicine but nothing seemed to help.
"My life was just terrible. I couldn’t do anything. I’d stay home a lot. I’d take a lot of medicine. I
had tried so many things. I went to pain therapy, physical therapy,
took muscle relaxers. I even took Demerol in high doses for the pain. I
STILL didn’t get any relief. I was taking Flexeril and Vioxx for the
“arthritis.” I went to a “pain clinic” and they just gave me more
medicine, which helped a little but then I got worse. I wasn’t able to
work anymore...
But now I’m better [because of Atlas Orthogonal]. I was able to make a trip to New Jersey without having any problems.

Why Do Fibromyalgia Sufferers Seek My Care?
Obviously, great results is the #1 reason sufferers of fibromyalgia symptoms want my treatment, which various testimonial letters on this website document. But I'm sure you'd like to know what is different about me, and my treatment methods.
You may be surprised to learn that the Virginia Board of Medicine prohibits any doctor from claiming superiority over another. And I never make such a claim. It is however, an undisputable fact that I provide several proven-effective, but extremely rare health services, which is part of what has attracted people for my services:
The Atlas Orthogonal procedure (for which I am one of the few board certified doctors in the world) is a treatment that reduces nerve compression at the base of the skull and upper neck. It has been instrumental in restoring quality of life to sufferers of fibromyalgia symptoms.
3-Phase Auricular Therapy, a specialized form of acupuncture (done needle-free or with needles) is another magnificent method, which was developed by award-winning, French neurologist, Paul Nogier, M.D., with an impressive array of international published medical research. I have had the privilege of providing this treatment for which I am licensed by the Virginia Board of Medicine.
Auricular Medicine is a bio-energetic testing method, also developed by Dr. Nogier. This enables us to find causes and corrections of many problems that cannot be detected by traditional diagnostic tests.
Complex Homeopathy: There are many approaches to homeopathic supplementation. It is an entire subject in itself. I utilize formulations from various companies, including ones custom made for me, and one or two other doctors in the country.
Having been been frequently asked why fibromyalgia sufferers seek my care, I have, in turn, asked my patients to help me give answers, since it is THEIR opinion that counts. I've written this article, in addition to separate ones for each of the treatment methods (and others) mentioned above. I appreciate my patients for their feedback, which has always helped me to help others have a chance for a better quality of life.
1) I am open-minded and NOT an extremist: Patients have appreciated that although I practice exclusively drugless and non-surgical methods... I believe in an integrative health care model, which includes the opinions, testing, and treatment from doctors of ALL disciplines and philosophies of health. My treatments are all compatible with those of traditional Western medicine. Some fibromyalgia patients seek my care as their sole approach to wellness. Others prefer to seek multiple professionals, and take prescription drugs in addition to my treatment. Whatever works for you is fine with me!
2) No "Cure-All" Claims: Truth in advertising is one of my most cherished beliefs. If I accept you as a patient, I will simply tell you that I think I can help. No outrageous promises or guarantees. No "one size fits all" or "cookie-cutter" treatment that promises to be the "end all, cure all."
For example, since 1993, people with symptoms of fibromyalgia have had phenomenal success with my Atlas Orthogonal procedure (upper neck treatment) But this doesn't mean it's what every fibromyalgia victim needs... I do not fit my patients to a treatment... I fit treatments to my patients!
Can doctors who diagnose fibromyalgia, and prescribe Lyrica as the treatment make such a statement?
I wish I could... but I won't be able to know for sure if you will have success with my care. I won't be able to predict how fast, or how much improvement you will be able to achieve. People of a wide range of ages, and degrees of illness respond at unpredictable rates.
However, if I do accept you as a patient... I will give you realistic hope... and I will EXPECT your success. After all, there are two things at stake: your health... and my reputation.
3) Your fibromyalgia symptoms are taking seriously: At no time will I tell you that your symptoms are psychosomatic (all in your head), nor will you be told to "live with the pain" because nothing can be done. Nor will your age or your weight be used as an excuse to blame you for your condition. Too many patients have told me that a doctor has told them this lazy, cop-out of an excuse for inability to find solutions.
4) SAFETY.... SAFETY... SAFETY: No treatment is without some risk. However, I am proud to use treatments that to my knowledge, have unparalleled safety. Using treatments such as Cold Laser Therapy, complex homeopathy, Auricular Therapy, and Atlas Orthogonal, which have no known side effects assures this.
5) Human Decency, Respect, Personal Attention, and TLC: It is not a coincidence that The Liebell Clinic has the initials, TLC. When you choose me to help you recover from symptoms of fibromyalgia, you become a respected and cared for member of our family. You are NOT a name and number. You will enter a solid relationship with a doctor and staff who will go the "extra mile" for you... to help you get well, after all else has failed... after others have treated you harshly, hurt your feelings, called you "crazy," and told you "nothing can be done."
6) A whole-body, total health approach: Patients know that I acknowledge the symptoms categorized into the medically accepted diagnosis of fibromyalgia syndrome. However, they also understand and appreciate that I do NOT treat the diagnosis; I treat the patient. It is clear that those who come to see me are not those who accept the "band-aid" quick fix approach to fibromyalgia with prescription drugs.
7) The "No Ego Zone" -- a doctor who listens, and respects YOU, your health opinions, feedback and requests: Ask me anything... tell me anything. I'm going to listen and respect you as part of our team, which has the simple and single goal of restoring your health and improving your quality of life as much as humanly possible. The Liebell Clinic is not about me... it's about YOU (But please forgive me for naming it after myself... it's what makes the initials TLC work!).
8) Access to top experts - Advisory Board: Although I'm a sole practitioner, I have relationships with experts in various disciplines, who serve as my advisors to assist me upon need. Click HERE to learn about the Liebell Clinic Medical Advisory Board.
9) Minimal Waiting Times: I don't like to be late, and I don't like my time wasted. I value your time as much as my own. We run a "tight ship" and do NOT overbook our schedule. Many medical offices schedule 2 or more people in the same time slot. We actually underbook our schedule. This keeps waiting time for appointments minimal... and face-to-face doctor-patient time maximal.
10) I perform ALL examination & treatment myself: You don't play waiting room and treatment room "musical chairs"... seeing a physician assistant, waiting more, and finally seeing the doctor for a couple of minutes. I want things done right, and I do it myself. My office is small; but our fibromyalgia recovery patient family is large. My wonderful assistant, Barbara, and Sheila (my wife and office manager) do all the right things that enable me to give you the attention you really need.
