Singers… We can help!

Comments Off on Singers… We can help!

J.M. said “I struggled with muscle tension in the small muscles surrounding my vocal chords and in my neck for 2 1/2 years. This left me unable to sing or do anything that made me out of breath. In that time I traveled across the U.S. to see different doctors and therapists, but I found no relief. I even tried surgery. This spring I began seeing Don at Physical Therapy Works, and he took a different approach to my voice issues. Within 3 months of treatment I am feeling way better and I am able to sing once again! Finding a physical therapist to work with voice issues is difficult, but Don took an outside of the box approach which worked on me! I highly recommend calling Physical Therapy Works!”

“I did something one day to my back and I was in a lot of pain. I went to my chiropractor and massage therapist. After several sessions I was not getting any results. I was referred to Don and it was amazing. He got me back to myself. Plus, he taught me how to PREVENT this from happening again with exercises. I can’t believe what a difference he made!! He also helped my with my headaches. I highly recommend him!!!” -RH


Still Unsure About Needles?

Comments Off on Still Unsure About Needles?

These are the thinnest needles you have ever seen! When using dry needling to alleviate your pain, Don Ostdiek, PT, DPT, uses very thin needles.  Many times patients cannot feel them when they first enter the skin.  Many patients feel the needle briefly, only after the therapist hits a trigger point, which is how you experience relief.  Give it a try today!

Dry needling is an efficient way to treat pain. A recent patient, Angela, said, “I am beyond impressed with the care provided by Physical Therapy Works. Three weeks of PT on my shoulder and arm are working again. Thanks, Sarah and Donald.”  You do not have to live in pain.  Schedule an appointment at Physical Therapy Works for dry needling.

From Roger, a patient recently discharged…Don—Thanks for greatly helping me with my chronic TMJ and chronic low back pain.  Both conditions were affecting my daily life.  I felt they would be something I would have to just live with forever.  But after several months of your treatments and suggested home exercises, both conditions are now nearly gone.  I greatly appreciate what you have done for me.

You’re welcome, Roger!  Our goal is to discharge patients as efficiently as possible.
