This post is way overdue.
I started seeing Dr. "George" for chronic low back pain about a year ago.
I must mention that I have personally gone to just about every back doctor in the Seattle area, the Eastside area as well as in the Tacoma area, with no long term pain relief for my back condition. I have undergone multiple treatments including daily oral pain medications, back injections, physical therapy, massage therapy, accupuncture, pain management treatment centers, etc., etc., etc!
On my initial visit Dr. George thoroughly explained to me what he thought my condition might be and how he felt he could help me.
(My back condition has been very complicated and puzzling to all of my past physicians).
For the first time in a very long time I felt that I was given some hope by Dr. George!!
The first few visits Dr. George performed a myofacial manipulation technique.
Dr. George shared with me that he studied this treatment with a specialist in Italy.
(myofacial release is a manipulative treatment that attempts to release tension in the fascia due to trauma, posture, or inflammation).
(Fascia: the web of connective tissue that spreads throughout the body and surrounds every muscle, bone, nerve blood vessel, and organ to the cellular level)I'm sure I'm not giving this treatment the exact correct "medical" title, but Dr. George can explain his technique in much better detail.
Without even touching the area of pain in my low back, I left his office that day with a sufficient amount of reduced back pain! I was so excited! It has been at least 10 years since, my back had felt less pain.
Dr. George is very knowledgeable, caring, personable and a good listener.
He cares deeply for his patients. Dr. George listens and hears your concerns.
Dr. George does offer sound, medical advice on every visit. He evens offers specific reading material and educational web sites.
On one particular visit I remember Dr. George had a good listening ear.
When I came in for an appointment one day, he could tell something was not right with me emotionally. I shared with Dr. George that my dog of 13 years had just passed away. Dr. George shared with me a story about a dog he was very close to that had also passed away and how he handled it.
I left that day with more than just an adjustment to my back.
I left with "grains of gold", life advice. Dr. George had helped me to view life in a more positive way and to count every hardship in life as a "blessing".
Again, Dr. George cares deeply about all people and he really does go out of his way to make a difference to those around him that are suffering. I appreciate Dr. George very much. Words can not express how much Dr. George has helped me in my life, physically as well as mentally.
I continue to see Dr. George on an as needed basis only. My back pain is substantially reduced and I am able to do my favorite hobby again, which is gardening!
Dr. George was put on this earth to help people and that is exactly what he does the best!
So, go see Dr. George!!!! What have you got to loose, but some "pain"?
You will certainly come away from your visit with Dr. George feeling better and uplifted.
Thanks Dr. George for all you do! You are a blessing!
