My sister has been treating at Baystate Musculoskeletal Center for a few years now and she had always talked highly of Dr. Velez. A few months ago I started to experience lower back and shoulder pain, so I decided to check out Baystate Musculoskeletal Center for myself. I started treatment about a two months ago now and I can notice a significant change in my back and shoulders. Dr. V is remarkable and I found out that part of the pain I was experiencing in my shoulders was due to improper posture. I was crouching my shoulders while sitting and even more while trying to jog.
On one of my visits Dr. V told me about a new product that he had which is the IntelliSkin shirt. The moment I tried on the shirt, I could already feel my shoulders being gently pushed back to where they should be. I decided to buy the shirt and I have been happy since. This shirt helps not only with posture, but when you exercise. When I first was jogging without the IntelliSkin shirt, I use to feel out of breath and I thought I was tired which caused me to stop jogging. Come to find out when I was crouching my shoulders it would stop the oxygen from flowing properly into my lungs, which would make me feel like I was tired because I wasn't breathing properly. Now, I don't feel out of breath and I don't have the need to stop jogging like before.
My experience with Dr. V and his staff has been magnificent. Everyone there is friendly and I enjoy going to his office. Also, one thing that I truly appreciate about Dr. V is that he will not force you to buy his products; if he sees you would benefit from a product he will suggest it to you. Just like he saw my issue with my posture and suggested I try the IntelliSkin, he left it up to me if I wanted to make the purchase. On the other hand, if you do not want to purchase anything you do not have too. I totally understand if people are weary about doctors and how most offices make you buy their products, but Dr. V's office is not like that at all. Dr. V is really all about helping his client's and their health. I am so thankful my sister introduced me to Baystate Musculoskeletal Center! read more
