Road to Success

"I had been dealing with knee and foot pain on my left leg for a couple of years, and decided to seek medical attention. My primary care physician referred me to a knee specialist. I spent the next few months being bounced from specialist to specialist within the orthopedic practice. After hundreds of dollars spent on co pays and X-rays/ MRI’s they still haven’t really been able to help me determine root cause or address the pain and discomfort. I then started physical therapy at Maccio Physical Therapy. Focusing on the lower back, we were able to drastically reduce the symptoms in the knee and foot. Through exercises, stretching and movement, I am now pain-free and working to eliminate the last lingering bit of discomfort. Joe and the rest of the staff at Maccio have all been wonderful, making this a very pleasant experience." - Jason

"This patient presented with localized pain in the knee. After a thorough MDT assessment, it was determined that his knee and ankle pain was referred from his lumbar spine. Spinal treatment was given which quickly resolved the patient's symptoms and returned him to a pain-free life. If this thorough MDT assessment was not performed, treatment most likely would have been tailored to the knee and ankle which would have left him with an unsuccessful outcome." Joseph R. Maccio, DPT, Dip. MDT

Self Referral "Served" Her Well

"I came to Maccio Physical Therapy after seeing a knee specialist who immediately wanted to give me injections and talk about surgery. I wanted to see if I could try treatment that allowed my knee to heal before plunging into invasive treatments. When I came to Maccio Physical Therapy I couldn’t climb stairs, walk very far and my knee hurt constantly. I was also worried that I wouldn’t be able to play tennis this summer- something I was looking forward to all winter. The treatment Maccio gave me resulted in quick improvement. After about six weeks of care, I am climbing stairs with no problems and I am back on the tennis court. Maccio helped me with a back problem previously and they gave me the same great results with my knee." -Patrisia

Sometimes Teenagers Know Best

"Towards the end of April 2017, I injured my knee while playing softball as a catcher. I went to the doctor and was told I had sprained my ACL. He told me that my knee was unstable and I would need surgery. I decided to go to Maccio Physical Therapy as it was recommended from a friend. Within one week of going to physical therapy my knee gained its motion back and I felt less pain doing everyday things. After weeks of physical therapy with Maccio, I returned to the doctor and I no longer need surgery on my knee. If I had not attended physical therapy my upcoming softball season would have been over. Thanks to Maccio Physical Therapy I feel stronger and more confident on the field."
