This place is absolutely unbelievable. I'm so glad I came across this place when I was doing…read moreresearch on google. I was diagnosed with a medial meniscus tear in my right knee. After getting an MRI, the orthopedic surgeon stated that I will need an arthroscopic surgery to remove 10-15% of the torn meniscus. It's invasive and I didn't want to do it. I did massive amount of research and a lot of studies I came across show that those who have had surgery vs. those who haven't had surgery, the results were very similar after 1-3 years. This is when I started looking for alternatives. I came across Pain Arthritis Relief Center and they practice a technique called prolozone. In short, it is basically an ozone therapy involves injecting various combinations of anti-inflammatory med and ozone/oxygen gas into an area of pain or injured area. I was extremely skeptical at first and I am terrified of needles, but I didn't have much of a choice because I didn't want to have surgery. When I first came to the clinic, my knee was about 50%, this was approximately 4 weeks after I torn my meniscus. Dr. Andy was clear at explaining what the therapy does and we were going to give it 4 weeks before another evaluation. After one injection along with PT and Chiro, I was already able to take my knee brace off. After the second injection, I was able to start doing exercises and workout. After 4 weeks, my knee was about 90%. Currently, after my 6th injection and 8 weeks, I'm at about 90-95%. My right knee no longer locks and I can fully extend without pain and very little stiffness. I now only get injection every other week and we are going to have another evaluation in a month or so. The results are beyond what I was hoping for. I now look forward to my PT, Chiro and injections (something that I thought I would never say since I hate needles so much). The injection really isn't all that bad, the needle is very tiny. You do feel some pressure when the gas is being pushed into the knee, but it goes away almost immediately after the injection. In addition, this clinic is like a big family. Everybody from Dr. Goodman in the front to Dr. Tony, Dr. Brooke, and rest of the staff (Jeff, etc.) really make you feel like you are a part of a big family. I never thought I would say this, but I actually enjoy coming in. It's an unbelievable place. I def recommend this place to those who are suffering from pain in their joints or those who are looking for alternatives rather than getting surgery. Trust me, you won't regret it!

I've taken several months to consider what to say about ASWC…read more I've had both wonderful and awful experiences here... The bottom line: I would be very wary of the lumbar MedX system. All of our bodies are different so I'm sure it works for some people but just be aware and protect your own body. The treatment for my initial diagnosis was good, but considering that it cost me a price of severe pain and worse problems elsewhere, I cannot fully endorse ASWC. The positive review: I originally came to ASWC with complaints of a stiff neck and sore shoulders. X-rays revealed that my neck had an inverted curve likely caused by a previous trauma. From January through June, I diligently followed my treatment plan: 3x/week for 14 weeks, then 2x/week for another 10 weeks. During that time, I did see marked improvements to my neck curvature and I do believe that I have a greater range of motion in my neck than before. I loved the treatment I was receiving at the time, and I highly recommended ASWC to friends and family. When I first started, the staff was pretty stellar. Sarah was ALWAYS ON TOP OF THINGS. Lauren was great with explaining insurance coverage and correctional care plans. Dr. Craig was great with explaining technical medical diagnoses and he was awesome at chiropractic adjustments. In the PT zone, Chris was by far the best tech--he had a knack for understanding what is needed to get the best pull from the CSRU, and he always provided an explanation of what I was trying to target with each assigned exercise. Over time, I witnessed some shifting in the staff (some of it rather unfortunate). But, the best new hire was Justin; he kept the most efficient flow of patients through the PT corner. The negative review: During the first week in March, I noticed a low back pain that felt like a muscle strain. At the time, I thought it was due to the MedX lumbar machine which I was scheduled to use twice a week. I became anxious about using the machine and I had an aversion. After speaking with the PT, Andy, I was encouraged to continue to use the MedX to improve my lumbar strength to counteract the low back pain. He told me that I should decrease the weight significantly, but to continue allowing for the extension/flexion movement on the MedX. Over the course of the next three months, I continued to provide daily updates that my back pain was not going away. Craig helped me with some low back adjustments coupled with some longer low back stretches, but nothing helped. I continued to tell Andy about the pain, and he continued to encourage the MedX machine. He said that he did not see any musculoskeletal anomalies and advised me to ask my gynecologist about pelvic floor issues. By that time, all of the techs were aware of my low back pain and all of them continued to encourage me to use the MedX machine, increasing my weight by 5 lbs every few sessions. Once I was up to 90 lbs, I began to feel strain/pain again, during the exercise. The last time I went, the tech posted 90 lbs on the computer screen for me but increased the weight to 100 lbs without my consent. Then, after I was done, he said "I did something sneaky. I added 10 lbs." [UMMM, WHAT?! I'm pretty sure this is medical malpractice!!] I reported this immediately; Craig apologized and told me that he would address the situation with the tech; but, Andy came over to tell me that I should never have completed the exercise if I was in that much pain. [My thoughts: I was ALWAYS IN PAIN. There hasn't been a moment since March that my low back has not been in pain. Having been encouraged over and over again to use the MedX, I just operated at different degrees of pain. I never withheld any information about my consistent back pain throughout this process and, yet, somehow it fell back on me to take part of the responsibility for what the tech had done.] So, I never went back. By early July, my back pain was so severe that I could not lean a single degree over my bathroom sink to brush my teeth. I couldn't sit at work, and I was bedridden on the weekends because sitting and standing hurt so bad. I went to see an orthopedic surgeon shortly thereafter. Within minutes, he conducted a simple range of motion exam and told me that my pain was entirely muscular. After one session with another PT who conducted the same simple range of motion exam, my pain dropped from a 9 to a 3. It really confounds me that this simple test was never done for me at ASWC when I complained about low back pain 2-3 times a week for 4 months. My months of suffering could have been avoided if someone had really listened to what I was saying: "I feel like it is a low back strain from the MedX." Unfortunately, I do believe I can take some of the blame simply because "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Fortunately, I finally did something different and came away with great results!

Judy, the owner greeted me with a warm hug. She then escorted me to a room, pulled up a chair and we talked about everything you could imagine as it pertain to my body and my health. I sincerely appreciated that. So often companies are tethered to remain timely. I didn't feel that with Judy. She seemed genuine in her concern about me. She made some recommendations about what I should add to my diet, and different types of foods to consume, etc. I changed out of my clothes and the lights were lowered and the service begun with an easy to understand explanation of what would occur over the next hour or so. The lymphatic sinus detox was all of that! I kept my eyes closed during the entire treatment. She used all sorts of tools (none of which was anything but soothing) consisting of strokes and massages, stones and utensils....who know what?! But I can tell you this, it was magical! After the treatment, I felt like a younger version of myself. In fact, over the next few days I was even sleeping better! I'm not sure if the detox directly had anything to do with the but I'm claiming it! I feel better! She gave me warm salt water - yep, the RIGHT type of salt is good for the system and we continued to talk for a little bit more. The services were so good, I got a gift card for a friend, and a salt rock for myself. It's a different type of massage but one that I know anyone would love. I've referred so many people already!!
