“I am a disabled veteran with existing prior injuries that happened
during my enlistment. Fallen arches are one of those issues. I had been on a
waiting list to see an orthopedist at the VA, having to wait from July and
still waiting now for an October 5th appointment. In that time, I
rolled my right ankle and had a severe sprain that landed me in another cam
walker boot. I was prescribed PT through a civilian ortho and referred to
Maccio PT by my mom who had back pain. When I came in initially, I was in the
boot and could hardly bear weight on my right foot/ankle.
After 6 weeks of regular visits to Maccio with exercises that were
aimed at also helping my arches with the ankle, I was discharged. It was faster
than anyone expected and after having done 6 ½ + months of PT in the service, I
too was skeptical and afraid it would hurt and cause greater discomfort.
My
therapy was, after the initial visit, painless! By the third visit, I was
walking again! Not only did they help alleviate pain I’d had for 10+ years, but the
staff was equally incredible. I work nearby, but live far (45 minutes), so if I
had a later afternoon appointment, but left work just after noon, I was still
welcomed and seen. Awesome, friendly staff helps heal, too! I recommend this
group to anyone!”
