Sports Medicine in Santa Maria

“I have been having back, left leg/ankle/foot issues from an initial lifting injury in 2014, then a year and a half ago, I had a bad slip-fall on a dusty path in Orcutt Hills. I went flat on my back and my left leg and foot jerked inwards giving me lasting issues, complicated plantar fasciitis, and Achilles heel.

Fast forward to mid-June, I met Beau for my first treatment. Much to my relief, my fears of major hip, knee, foot surgery were alleviated. He told me how common my injuries were, and that he could fix them.

Within the first two treatments, much of my mobility was back already. Today was my third treatment, and in addition to various other areas, I told him I was having a little tightness in my left foot and ankle, still, so he had me lay on my back and grabbed my left leg, pulling it away from the table. He told me to just relax the leg completely and then he started to bounce my leg up and down. Suddenly, he pulled my foot and I simultaneously heard and felt my ankle pop into place! The funny thing is, that as shocking as that was, it didn’t hurt at all, and made me feel a little giddy.

Don’t be afraid of chiropractics, and choose this guy, for sure!“

“My OB referred me to Karen for pelvic floor therapy at Santa Maria Valley PT due to back and hip pain related to pregnancy. Karen took the time to provide education regarding pelvic floor and the benefits of strengthening it, including alleviating back and hip pain. I was surprised how many exercises and stretches there are; all of which were helpful. Karen also gave me tips for movement during labor to help with baby’s positioning and descent. The most helpful piece of advice was the updated recommendation of how to breathe while in the pushing stage of labor. For my first pregnancy, I was only in labor for ~6hrs and only pushed for 1 hour. The delivering OB relayed that I had no tears and attributes this to the daily stretches I did for about a month and a half. I had a very smooth labor and think that pelvic floor therapy by Karen greatly contributed. Thank you Karen!“

Patrick and the rest of his team are amazing!“
