Don't Live with Pain!

I’ve been suffering from back pain for years. After years of office jobs and graduate school I found it nearly unbearable to take on day-to-day tasks or even sleep without pain killers. A couple times a year I would have severe flare ups that made it painful just to turn my head. These were always treated with prescription pain killers and muscle relaxers by the doctors. After injuring my neck again during a Crossfit workout, I finally heeded the advice of a friend and went to Maccio Physical Therapy. After just a few visits and three weeks of exercises I am finally back to Crossfit and feel better than ever. I thought I was just going to have to live with pain for the rest of my life, but after the physical therapy regimen, I no longer have headache and can sleep without taking pain medication. I really cannot thank you enough for improving my quality of life and getting me back to my own fitness regimen! - Julie L.

McKenzie Method Provides Quick and Easy Relief

I had IT Band Tendonitis effecting the knee and hip with severe pain and difficultly walking. I was unable to practice yoga, I even had pain at night that interfered with sleep and sometimes required a pain reliever. This method has relieved the symptoms and the root cause. I am back to yoga. Walking and daily activity is normal and I no longer need pain relievers. I especially appreciate that the treatment and home practice was very simple and not too time-consuming. Had great, positive results! - Linda

Back and Neck Pain

I have had back and neck problems for about 10 years. I have been to different places for therapy with no results. A friend of mine referred me here. I have had ‘Big Results’ from coming here. I am now in less pain and getting better and better each day. I am truly grateful. I would recommend this place to people I know that are in need of therapy. - Angela

Success Story

Wow! I am totally amazed at the results I’ve experienced. I was diagnosed with a herniated disc pressing on my sciatic nerve. For almost three years I have been living with terrible pain going down both my legs that just kept getting worse. I had been prescribed pain meds, went to a chiropractor, and lastly, getting shots in my spine and the next step was surgery. My mother happened to be going to Maccio Physical Therapy for her knee replacement and her therapist suggested I come see Joe Jr. as he is the “Ninja.” He has earned the nickname! After my first visit, the pain started to subside and now I am pain free. I feel human again and can participate and have a life again. I cannot thank Joe Jr. enough and for the staff for being so friendly. If I ever need physical therapy again, I know where I will be coming. Thank you for giving me my life back! Taryn D.

“This is another great example of how Mechanical therapy can be used to diagnose and treat spinal problems which have failed with other forms of treatment. If you were having similar symptoms this type of treatment can identify whether you will be a responder day one and in Taryn’s example, begin to reduce symptoms as well.

BPPV Success Story

I came to Maccio after experiencing dizziness for a little over a week. My doctor referred me. I thought I had an ear infection of some sort and my doctor and the therapists explained it was BPPV. It has to do with your inner ear. I had one physical therapy session where we went through some exercises it lasted approximately 45 minutes. I felt a lot better when I left that session. I felt 100% better the very next day and on the 2nd day out had no dizziness, after only one therapy session. I came back a week later for a follow up and still no dizziness. I was discharged. The staff at Maccio is polite and courteous. My therapists were wonderful and knew their stuff. Thank you Maccio.

Joe Jr.’s McKenzie Training Clinical Experience

I spent the last nine weeks in Austin Texas at St. David’s Rehabilitation Hospital completing the clinical component of the McKenzie Diplomat training. Training consisted of seeing patients with two of the McKenzie institute’s top faculty members which allowed for an amazing opportunity to fine tune previously learned skillz and learn more in depth evaluation and treatment techniques. It was exciting to see that treatment methods at one of the most prestigious clinics in the country were not much different then what we have been practicing at Maccio Physical Therapy. There were some minor differences specifically with emphasis on physical examination and new techniques for the treatment of the cervicogenic headache. All new techniques and concepts that were learned will be taught to all the Maccio Physical Therapists in the coming weeks through a weekly in service to continue our efforts in achieving excellent clinical results.

Success Story 10.17.2012

I came to Maccio Physical Therapy in constant pain. I had been experiencing severe back pain for about a month. The first two weeks I had attempted to self-treat with back exercises that my husband uses and ibuprofen. I then consulted with my family physician who prescribed muscle relaxants at night so I could sleep and more back exercises. It wasn’t working so I requested a referral for physical therapy. The first appointment actually resulted in the pain being “turned off” for the first time in a month! I did have a small setback for a while in that the pain changed from my back to my hip. I was reassured that this was not unusual. I was given exercises to alleviate that also. After 2 months I am pain-free. Thank you Joe Jr. and Deb. - Deb K. 10/17/12
