Ruchira is an exceptional physical therapist--she listens deeply, is incredibly patient and empathetic, and always takes the time to understand the bigger picture. She has a wonderful way of explaining things clearly and logically, often using examples that make everything easy to understand. When I first came to BreakThrough, pain and mobility issues were affecting my quality of life and limiting some of the activities I enjoyed. Working with Ruchira has helped me manage my pain, get significantly stronger, and get back to doing things I love, including hiking. I genuinely feel better after every session. What I appreciate most is that she truly cares about her patients and always has their best interests at heart. She brings such great energy to every session, and I've had some of the best conversations with her along the way. I'm truly grateful for everything Ruchira has done for me. Thank you, Ruchira! Also big shoutout to Maria and front office team who are amazing! I also appreciate the setup, each therapist sees the patient for the entire duration, the place is clean and welcoming. Thanks, Breakthrough team!

In 2019 I suffered a rotator cuff injury with a complete tear of my supraspinatus tendon which made…read morethe raising of my left arm impossible. I immediately sought Dr. Gayle's assistance due to the exceptional surgical success experienced with Dr Gayle for a prior sports injury involving my distal bicep tendon. Dr. Gayle acted swiftly to surgically repair my torn rotator cuff. The "before and after" interior photos taken during surgery were amazing. The surgical sutures and tissue cleanup were impressive. I followed the suggested rehab process to strengthen my shoulder and supporting muscle groups. Within 6 months, I was able to return to my vigorous sports activities as though nothing ever happened. It has now been nearly 3 years since Dr. Gayle repaired my shoulder. I've continued the rehab exercises with free weights and elastic bands. I can report that my surgically repaired shoulder is actually stronger than the shoulder that was never injured! I still experience no pain in the shoulder joint. What a fantastic outcome! I am very grateful to Dr. Gayle and highly recommend him. He is professional, talented, and a pleasure to work with.

Dr. Vid gets you back to doing what you love - but you've got to do the work too…read more After a significant fall that left me with limited mobility and daily pain, I knew I needed more than just quick fixes. I wanted a provider who would help me understand the biomechanical root cause of my issues, not just treat symptoms. Dr. Vid Jindal absolutely delivered on that front. What sets Dr. Vid apart is his multi-modal, evidence-based approach. During my initial visit, he performed comprehensive movement assessments that revealed patterns I never knew existed. As someone who works in tech, I appreciated how he explained exactly what each test indicated and how different movement dysfunctions were contributing to my pain. His extensive certifications beyond his DC degree (ART, Graston Technique, SFMA assessments, and more) were immediately apparent in how thoroughly he evaluated my condition. Here's what you need to know going in: Dr. Vid will be completely upfront that lasting results require your active participation. This isn't a "come in twice a week forever" situation - it's a corrective/functional care program where the real work happens between visits. I'll be honest, initially I wasn't thrilled about adding exercises to my daily routine. But Dr. Vid serves as both coach and advocate, helping you understand exactly why each movement matters for your long-term health. The results speak for themselves. Even with me admittedly not completing my "homework" 100% of the time at first, I noticed significant improvements in my upper body mobility and reduced extremity pain within just a few sessions. As I became more consistent with the at-home exercises, our progress accelerated dramatically. What impressed me most is Dr. Vid's commitment to education. Every session includes both hands-on treatment for soft tissue dysfunctions and spine/extremity adjustments, plus time spent helping you understand how to prevent re-injury and maintain your progress independently. Unlike providers who just want to cycle you through, he's genuinely invested in getting you to that "state of ready" where you can live actively and pain-free. If you're someone who wants to take an active role in your recovery and values understanding the "why" behind your treatment, you'll thrive here. Even if that's not your natural inclination, Dr. Vid's realistic approach to setting expectations and his genuine passion for patient education make the investment worthwhile. Bottom line: a few months of focused work with Dr. Vid has given me tools and knowledge about my body that I'll use for life. Highly recommend if you're ready to put in the effort for lasting results.

The greatest passion of my life is Argentine tango, and it's safe to say that without Dr. Vid, I…read morewould not be dancing anymore. Thanks to him, I went from debilitating foot pain to dancing freely for hours in four-inch heels. To me, it's nothing short of miraculous. I came to Dr. Vid after running out of options. After a decade of dancing, I developed foot pain that no podiatrist, shoe, cream, or orthotic could fix. When I first contacted him, my expectations were admittedly low. The pain had been intense, and here I was, entrusting myself to someone who was neither a dancer nor a specialist in life on very high heels. How much I underestimated him! From the very first session, I realized I was in expert hands -- with someone who wouldn't just look at my foot, but assess my entire body, identifying root causes I'd never considered. What followed were focused, hands-on sessions to address the problem areas, followed by active physical therapy. He taught me exactly where and how to build strength to protect my body from future injury. I began to understand that if I want to stay pain-free -- especially under high-stress demands -- I need to take an active role in caring for and strengthening my body. And Dr. Vid showed me precisely how to do that. Dr. Vid won't give you a magic pill, an invasive surgery, or an overnight fix -- because he knows those only mask the issue and can even make it worse over time. He won't have you come in for quick sessions only to keep returning with the same problem. What he will do is zoom in on your body, identify the root cause, treat you holistically, and equip you with an arsenal of tools that will leave you feeling stronger and healthier than you have in years. His expertise is astonishing, his knowledge vast, his encouragement unwavering, and his positivity contagious. Finding Dr. Vid changed everything. What he gave me wasn't just relief - it was the strength and knowledge to keep doing what I love for years to come.

After 4 injections (one every week) my pain on the front of my right knee went away. I also had Piriformis Syndrome on my right leg, I felt pain and numbness running down from my buttock through my thigh, and back of my knee all the way to under my foot. I spent several weeks in Physical therapy but it didn't help to get rid of my pain. I can't sit for more than a half hour. Pain medicine didn't help either. After evaluating my case, Dr Ting has recommended a steroid injection to my right piriformis muscle. After the injection around a week, I was able to walk 2 miles without any pain and I stopped taking pain medicine since then. I am seeing Dr Ting for my left knee (Same osteoarthritis issue). Doctor Ting is kind and a GREAT DOCTOR.

I received three injections over several months, but unfortunately, I did not experience any relief. After one of the injections, I noticed a visible indentation and some skin discoloration at the injection site. When I mentioned this at my next appointment, Dr. Goranson told me that this can sometimes happen if the medication enters the muscle and causes atrophy, and that it usually improves over time. He then suggested another injection, but I chose not to proceed. Since my symptoms continued, I sought a second opinion. The next doctor confirmed that the issue was related to the injection and diagnosed it as fat necrosis, which she explained is not reversible. As a result, before even attempting surgery, Dr. Goranson caused me significant and permanent physical and emotional harm.
