"Pain-free and back to my normal self"

 

“I was referred due to sciatic pain in my left side.  This was the first time I ever went to see a physical therapist.  I was in so much pain that I could barely walk, drive, or sleep a full night without pain.  The first day after completing some of the exercises I started to get a little relief.  Then I went back as directed for different sets of exercises each time and my pain decreased with doing them at home as well.  After only two weeks I was pain-free and back to my normal self thanks to Maccio Physical Therapy.” - Tammy

The Wall of Maccio

Maccio Physical Therapy proudly presented 4 research presentations at the recent 14th International Conference in Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy in San Francisco, California titled, “Application of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy [MDT] on the Human Elbow,” “The Application of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy in Failed Anterior Cervical Discectomy and Fusion: a case report,” “The Management of an Anterior Lumbar Derangement: a case report,” and “The Application of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy to an Ankle Sprain: a case report.” These are 4 of the more recent research endeavors Maccio PT has been involved, which are being prepared for publication in various international journals. The feedback received from over 30 countries participating in the conference was excellent with great interest from new clinicians to senior McKenzie faculty members. Our superior outcomes and innovative extremity techniques were two of the highlights. Stay tuned for future projects of even greater scale.

Sleeping Like a Baby



"For the past five months or so I have suffered from loss of sleep because of very annoying aching in my hip and thigh. I could not get into a position where the aching would stop. I really thought it was arthritis. I signed up for a free low back pain and sciatica workshop at Maccio Physical Therapy and was asking about my aching leg which only occurred at night. I made an appointment for a consultation. Joe Sr. showed me two exercises and had me do them every two hours. I was amazed with just one visit it was the first time I was ache free in months. Thank you so much, I can now sleep!"- Beverly

Double Trouble No More

"When I came to Maccio Physical Therapy I was experiencing pain across my low back down my leg into my foot. I was also having pain in my neck extending into my skull causing a constant headache. I’m an active person and was getting very discouraged living in pain the greater part of every day. I had to be careful not to turn or move my head too quickly or I would experience shooting pain into my skull.

After my first session of physical therapy, I came home smiling. The pain in my lower leg had subsided. I was encouraged and decided I would see this through to completion. Having completed my therapy, I’m happy to say that I can now enjoy my 2.5 mile walk pain free. No pain, burning, tingling or numbness in my back, leg or foot all of which I had previously.

As for my neck, I have not had any headaches since the second week of therapy and I can move my head freely without fear of shooting pain in my skull. My neck still gets tight and achy but I do my exercises and it is relieved. The therapists are great. They took a lot of time teaching me the proper exercises and making sure I was doing them correctly. Most importantly, they taught me how to treat myself." - Diane

Why We Do What We Do. MDT Verses Injections and General Physical Therapy.



"I’ve had low back pain and sciatica pain for 12 years. It was steadily getting worse the past couple of years. The pain forced me to miss work sometimes weeks at a time. I’ve also had a hard time really enjoying time with my son as everything I did hurt whether it was sitting, standing or lying down. I’ve been through pain management where I received medication that only masked some of the pain and was given cortisone shots that hurt more than helped. I’ve also been through several rounds of Physical Therapy before being referred to Maccio Physical Therapy. Those other places never helped, just had me in traction and general stretching, so I was apprehensive that this time would be different. I was given a treatment that corresponded with the pain I was feeling and I am very pleased to say I am in the least pain I have been in since my original injury over 12 years ago and it’s all thanks to Maccio." - Eric
