“I returned to Elevate for PT because I was so impressed with the treatment I received working with Ryan previously. This time I have been lucky to work with Jillian from University of Iowa while they have her. She's incredibly knowledgeable and has been nothing short of wonderful. Highly recommend.”
“Everyone here has been so kind and caring. They have been great support in rehabbing my back and neck. Dawn is always friendly making appointments and Shannon and Megan have helped me be functional again!”
“I am happy to share my experience of what has been happening since I began treatment with Dr. Stewart. I am beyond pleased with the positive results that started early within the 12 sessions. I have been dealing with spinal stenosis and sciatica for the last three years. This had caused severe pain and disability with walking, standing, and moving. I have had fibromyalgia for 25 years and SI joint dysfunction for more than that.
I have tried multiple modalities and saw practitioners recommended by friends. My refusal for invasive surgery with no guarantee of permanent relief and risk of failure or worse, I continued looking for “the person” who could get me to a permanent pain-free state and be able to return to normal activities.
Over the years I was treated by pain specialists, chiropractors, physical therapists, an acupuncturist, massage therapists, and my doctor. I have spent thousands of dollars on pain remedies (lotions, herbs, and lidocaine patches), medications, injections, dry needling, acupuncture, a personal trainer (to build muscle strength in my back), equipment and tools to help my body, spinal decompression, chiropractic treatments, physical therapy sessions, pilates classes, and steroid injections with little help, and absolutely no longevity in relief.
I have worked in the medical field for 45 years, I am a Practitioner of Healing Arts since 2005, and very aware of the body and methods to help heal the body. I took a leap of faith with Dr. Stewart. I had nothing to lose, right? But I always listen to my gut, and after discussing things with him, listening to him explain everything, demonstrating movement exercises, and sharing his knowledge on questions or thoughts I had (and there were many), I was pretty impressed. I felt his confidence in that his method would benefit me. If I hadn’t, I would have said “thanks, but no thanks”. But the combination of things he uses were very unique in healing the whole body. I was very impressed.
I was so excited to share the little changes I noticed or realized things had lessened or stopped that had been bothersome before. I felt depression lifting, I became more mobile, and wanted to be doing more activities. I particularly appreciated that Dr. Stewart actually listened to me.
I just returned from a trip to Denver and Seattle to see my sons, daughter-in-law, and grandchildren. I was able to tolerate the long flights, uncomfortable plane seating, and long walks in the airports. I participated in excursions where I was able to walk up and down steps, hilly streets, and twice on a hillside rollercoaster. That was wild and not for the faint of heart.
So, again, I cannot express enough my gratitude to Dr. Stewart. I feel so lucky (or blessed) to have stumbled across an ad for Dr. Stewart’s clinic. I do believe it wasn’t just a coincidence, but was an answer to what I was seeking. I highly recommend him and his expertise to you or someone you love.”
