The Power to Control Your Pain with MDT

"I have struggled with knee and ankle pain for two years. I had problems with everything from standing bending and walking. After two short weeks of continuing exercises my pain diminished. With the help of my physical therapist, my ankles now feel awesome. I never thought of how good and free they feel without the sharp and aching pain. It has been a wonderful experience being free and bouncing on my step again. Everyone was so nice here and I had a wonderful experience in this place." -Jennifer

The Importance of Looking for Directional Preference

"I’ve had a disease called Ankylosing Spondylitis (or A.S. for short) for over 40 years. It is a type of arthritis that affects the spine. It starts with pain from the lower back and progresses onward to the neck. The spine’s bones (called vertebrae) fuse together causing rigidness and stiffness. The disease usually creates additional diseases. For me, I developed Pelvic Pain Syndrome about 20 years ago. I was prescribed Elmiron and took it 3 times a day for 15 years.

Last year I was sent to Maccio Physical Therapy in Troy, NY to see if they could help with the pain. After a few minutes with Joe Maccio Jr. we started doing back bends which right away helped ease the pain and discomfort. After one year doing back bends 2-3 times a day the pain from this disease diminished by 90%. I’m so glad I came to Maccio Physical Therapy and will forever be grateful to Joe Maccio Jr." - Peter

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

THE POWER TO CONTROL PAIN

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

THE POWER TO CONTROL PAIN

MDT As First Choice. (Kudos to Dr. Gross!)

"After years of chronic back pain and giving up most physical activities, I had an episode that was so painful I couldn’t bend forward even enough to brush my teeth. I was in chronic pain 24/7 with no relief. My doctor suggested I come to Maccio Physical Therapy. I was hesitant to come because I was in so much pain and moving was difficult but I figured he is trying to help me so I must follow his advice and do my part. I’m so glad I did. At Maccio PT I found compassion, understanding and most of all hope! I learned techniques to help myself at anytime without having to make appointments every time I have issues. And they work! I’ve seen several chiropractors and two back surgeons over the years and felt like there was no hope. I feel like I have been giving the tools to help myself and if I do have to come back I won’t hesitate. The people here are fabulous! I highly recommend Maccio PT. They will take time to listen and go over and above to find the cause of your pain and fix it." - Christine

THE POWER TO CONTROL PAIN

"I will not under estimate what Physical Therapy can do for me again.”

Pamela was having trouble sitting for long periods of time. This caused her to frequently call out, and leave work early. Standing and walking also caused her quite a deal of pain. When she came to Maccio Physical Therapy, her goal was to be pain free without medication.

“Prior to coming here, I was on two different pain meds for the hip, and still was very uncomfortable, and walking slowly. After being put through the paces, Colin let me know it was a lower back problem. He gave me exercises to do, and gradually the pain has stopped. My knee had also been a problem for me – swelling and discomfort. At times, I would need cortisone shots. At this point, I am pain free in both my knee and my back. I will not under estimate what Physical Therapy can do for me again.” – Pamela
