Today’s session involved a patient with a combination of long-term and recent pain. For three months, he’s been experiencing tennis elbow pain that makes it uncomfortable to lift objects as light as a teacup. He also has a 20-year history of shoulder and upper back pain that gets worse during long periods of sitting or driving.
We’ve developed a custom home care plan for him, including specific exercises, and have also begun physical therapy modalities to address his discomfort.

After struggling with chronic low and upper back pain since January 2022, this patient was living on painkillers. Since beginning treatment with us four months ago, her pain has improved by 70%, and she’s only needed to take two painkillers.

This patient, who had been struggling with chronic shoulder pain for two years, was diagnosed with rotator cuff tendonitis.

A patient with chronic heel pain, present for over a year, came in with swelling and tenderness at the Achilles tendon’s insertion point into the heel. The patient also had fallen arches, which were corrected with custom-made orthotics. This immediately reduced the stress on the tendon, and his walking pain has since disappeared. He now experiences only mild discomfort after activity. We are confident that this remaining discomfort will resolve as the tendon continues to heal without stress.
This patient has endured low back pain for two years, with severe flare-ups over the past eight months. He sought relief through three steroid injections and one epidural, which provided temporary relief for about a month before the pain returned. After just his third physical therapy and acupuncture session, he reported a 50% improvement today. He was completely pain-free for two days following his second treatment. While some pain has returned, it’s at a much lower intensity than before. I am confident that a comprehensive treatment plan of targeted physical therapy, acupuncture, and a specific exercise program will lead to a full resolution of his issue.
