Several months ago I tore my meniscus. After an MRI, I was told that I wasn't a good candidate for surgery because of some apparent degenerative arthritis I have in my knee. The surgery would just aggravate that so basically I was told to let it heal on its own. I was it a lot of pain with light pressure and general movement, and to top it off... I also suffer from arthritis in my lower back. I'm in my mid 40's but felt like I was in my 80s.
Thankfully, I stumbled upon Peyton-they just happened to move into the same building my office is in. After meeting the Doc for the first time, I instantly felt like I was in good hands. The whole team is super welcoming and knowledgeable too. The location is private and felt like a blend of holistic and medical treatments. It was perfect.
I'm not a huge fan of traditional medicine, and probably lean more towards holistic remedies... but since this was my bones, muscles and ligaments/tendons... I felt a lot more comfortable going to someone who has a solid background in the traditional, but absolutely appreciate the alternative approaches.
To date I have been going there for about 4 weeks now, and quite happy to say that I have about 95% mobility in my knee again (pain free). I'm still working on my back but I definitely feel an improvement. Keep in mind, she will probably give you homework (exercises) to help in your recovery, but I'm just happy to not feel 80 anymore... and I look forward to feeling even younger!
I highly recommend Peyton for any type of body work and pain management... they're awesome and affordable. read more
