Muscle and Joint Performance Chiropractic
“Two weeks ago I was working out, picked up a heavy weight while lying on top of a bench (bad move), wrenched my back, went into muscle spasms and could barely move. NSAIDS made almost no difference. I am a health care provider and am used to a traditional medical model. When I considered my options (emergency room, urgent care, orthopedics), I realized that I would wait for hours, be given pain killers and/or muscle relaxants, and maybe an X-ray. I needed something else and I decided to try a different route -- Dr. Jill Caruso in this practice. My teen daughter had been seeing her for back pain and I was impressed. They got me right in. At this point I was not able to bend over, at all, and was having major problems with activities of daily living, like getting on/off toilet. Dr. Jill was so kind to me. She evaluated me, did some extensive massage-like techniques to loosen up the spasms, and gave me exercises I could do to relieve the pain and increase range. She saw me every day, and some days I cried! She listened and consoled me. It was so scary and I felt totally out of control. She emailed me to make sure I was okay. I was 90% better within 4 days and was able to go with my family on a pre-planned vacation. I am so grateful to have found this practice and Dr. Jill.”
