    Patient Experience

    "I slipped and took a fall while on vacation where I slipped on a wooden deck with a small amount of snow on it, and my legs split outwards. I have a high pain tolerance and was struggling with a lot of pain in the my inner knees at rest, with sleep, and also with any amount of activity or walking. I used to be a massage therapist, and I've been to several chiropractors over the years, but Dr. Porcher and his team are by far the best I've ever worked with. I sent my wife here too for her neck problems. They not only got me back to 100% after my knee injury, but I always go in for stretching and adjustments and I feel great."

    Treatment Details

    Michael had a significant injury to the adductor and medial hamstrings tendons, bilaterally from a bad slip on ice where his legs went essentially into the splits. He also had signs of bilateral MCL sprains. He was treated with Active Release Techniques, therapeutic massage, electric stimulation, dry needling, and chiropractic adjustments to the full spine. He showed great signs of improvement after 5-6 weeks of care, and after 8-9 weeks, he was reporting less than a 1/10 in terms of pain, was fully back to the gym, and could walk any distance he wanted. He reported 100% correction of the problem by his 2nd or 3rd maintenance treatment and continues to come for monthly treatments for his spine.
