25YEARS OF CHRONIC PAIN
I have dealt with chronic pain for the last 25 years, most of it being in the shoulder and neck area with a persistent knot just to the right of my left shoulder blade.
The treatments have included all kinds of medications, Phyiscal Therapy and some not so conventional methods. The PT's used everything at their disposal from traction to ultra-sound. There was also two weeks as an out patient at a Pain Center run by a local hospital. A couple of years ago I had pain medication injected in the muscles of my back. I was able to get relief from all of these procedures but it was always temporary.
So when I saw Dr. Casey's article in the January 2006 issue of the PORTLAND monthly magazine, I decided that it was worth a try. After the third treatment I knew this was something that needed to be continued with, I was able to get approval for bi-weekly treatments from my insurance company.
As anyone who has dealt with pain issues knows who have your good days and bad days. The good days are the ones that allow you to function at an almost normal level and the bad days you are barely able to function at all. Due to Dr. Casey's massage abilities and export knowledge of how the human body functions, my good days greatly out number the bad ones.
I have received more relief in the last ten months then I have in the last ten years., Also this fall I was able to play 3 rounds of golf, something that I had not been able to do since July of 1999. This was a very big deal for me , since I am what you would call a certified golf nut. I am looking forward to many more rounds in the spring.
Pros: Excellent Service
Cons: None
