If not for Physical Solutions, I would be in a very different situation today. Words cannot express what I feel for this group! If you have any physical issues, I strongly encourage you to visit Physical Solutions. They will listen to you and help you! I thank God for them every day! I truly am very lucky that I went to them!
I had a very bad herniated disc in my lower back. I had started going to Physical Solutions prior to my confirmed diagnosis (originally misdiagnosed with a knee problem). When I arrived at Physical Solutions for my first visit, I was using a back brace, knee brace and crutches. I was in so much pain that I could hardly walk 10 feet. I was evaluated by one of the head PTs (Chris Lopez). Chris was not convinced that my problem was in my knee. He believed it was in my back. He encouraged me to stop wearing the braces and stop using crutches. Within the first few visits, i was able to walk without help. Based on their evaluation, they encouraged me to get another opinion and an MRI. Physical Solutions diagnosed my situation better than the doctors! After an MRI, Physical Solutions reviewed the results with me and my doctors. The damage showed far worse than we were hoping for. The team at Physical Solutions put together a program to improve my mobility and strengthen my core. After a few weeks, the pain improved and I felt myself regaining strength in my legs. I was told i would need back surgery by my doctors. Physical solutions worked with me and my doctors to avoid surgery. I went for a third opinion within 6 weeks of beginning PT. This surgeon saw great improvements based on results of my plan with Physical Solutions. He recommended continuing PT and holding off on surgery. As time went on, my strength continued to increase and my pain was minimal. We focused on regaining strength in my legs and back. Within 3 months of beginning PT, I was feeling very good. I continued to go to PT, and Physical Solutions continued to work closely with my doctors and revised plans that went with my current condition. I stayed with Physical Solutions until my strength was completely back and my atrophy in my leg improved significantly. Within 6 months, I was back to my old self! I was doing everything that I was able to do before my injury! I explained my situation and shared my goals with my team at Physical Solutions. They were all committed to helping me reach my goals. I enjoyed working with the team, and I am very thankful to all of them for what they did for me! read more
