“My pain had decreased significantly and I no longer needed the prescriptions!” “We went to Arizona where we enjoyed walking, hiking, and golfing. This past winter, I developed severe pain in my lower back and hip, and could barely do my grocery shopping, much less enjoy these activities. I went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a compressed disc. I had several decompression therapy sessions, and although the pain level decreased, it never went away. Thinking this was the problem, when I returned to Iowa, I asked my physician to recommend a physical therapist thatoffereddecompression therapy. In themeantime, Iwasputonmuscle relaxers and anti-inflammatory medications. To my delight, Johnston Physical Therapy offered this therapy (I had been treated there for a previous shoulder injury). After my examination and hearing my story, my therapist recommended an exercise regimen to strengthen the muscles in my lower back and pelvis region. After my first visit, and by following the exercise regimen, my pain had decreased significantly and I no longer needed the prescriptions. After 4 visits my pain was virtually gone! I can now shop and attend my grandkids’ games. Although I have not done any hiking or golfing, I am confident that when I return to Arizona, I will be able to. I have not felt this good for a very long time and I owe it all to the team at Johnston Physical Therapy!” - Sandi T.
