My shoulder had been acting up for years. The routine was that I would go to Sterling Ridge Orthopedic for a cortisone injection, do some PT/rehab, feel better for a few months, and then eventually start feeling the pain again. And if you know anything about cortisone shots, they are usually only putting a bandaid on a problem, and not something you can just do forever.
One night after playing basketball, I was in horrible pain. I knew that I had to do something different. I looked up places near me that offered ART (Active Release Technique) and dry needling. One that popped up was Mobility Chiro, which happened to be a place that I already had bookmarked on Yelp. They had an appointment available the next day, which I quickly snagged.
I ended up coming here 1-2x a week for the next 4 months. Fortunately, once I met my deductible, my visits were practically free, so the only real drawback was that it was about 25 minute commute from my house. But that wasn't going to prevent me from coming because I was making real progress here.
I started off seeing Robbie in the beginning and eventually transitioned to Clayton. Eventually, they recommended I see Sam, who only came in once a week, but he offered PRP/PRF and peptide injections. Sterling Ride Ortho had been suggested PRP for a while, but I was hesitant to do it because it was $750. But here, it would only be $500. Sam did an ultrasound on me and showed some tears and recommended I moved forward. So I did.
And while the change was not immediate, after a few weeks, it was very obvious that it was making a difference. I could suddenly not only fall asleep on that side, but I could sleep through almost the entire night on it. When I first started coming here, I couldn't even be on that side for more than 20 minutes or it would be unbearable.
I basically got the works during each visit with Robbie/Clayton: needling, cupping, ART, shockwave, new exercises to do at home, etc. You name it, they did it. And here I sit about 5 months removed from my first visit, feeling like a different person than I did before.
Not only was the care better, but getting an appointment was basically always easy, and Kori who works at the front, was always super responsive to my messages when I needed to re-schedule or have a question relayed to one of the guys.
From now on, I'll skip Sterling Ridge (5 minutes away) and make the drive to Mobility Chiro.
