Treatment Outcome Surveys

If you are not already on our email listserve, please contact Erin at erin@macciophysicaltherapy.com to be included in our updates. We will also be conducting a survey through our email listserve attempting to track recurrence of symptoms for patients who successfully complete their treatment. The questions will be simple and the idea is to identify how effective our individual approach is compared to national standards of mechanical diagnosis and therapy. Patients who are compliant with their home program and continue to have problems may be eligible for free screenings and assessments as part of our grand rounds and continuing education program.

Most of these conditions occur from the lumbar spine with a smaller percentage coming from the hip or sacroiliac joint. The MDT method is one of the few methods that can help sort out this problem. Recent studies and modifications on how we assess this area may answer some of the more complex problems we have seen over the years where we have been unable to identify the true source of symptom production.

If you are a former patient, please call or email Erin at 273-2121 or erin@macciophysicaltherapy.com with your answers to the following questions and we will enter you in to the monthly gift card drawings!

1. Have you had treatment for low back, sacroiliac, or hip pain in our clinic?
2. Have you continued with a home exercise program?
3. Have you had a recurrence of symptoms within one year?
4. Has your home exercise program been sufficient enough to self treat?
