About two years ago I started having debilitating lower back pain. It would take me about twenty minutes to get out of bed in the morning and when I finally did, my body was titled to one side, as to prevent pain and allow movement. I had problems doing the most mundane activities, sitting, standing, walking the dog, etc… I started seeing a slew of chiropractors who would adjust my back using variations of electro-pads, rolling massage tables, icing, heating, and spinal manipulation. Although this provided relief, it was temporary and I found myself needing to go to a chiropractor twice a week. This was hardly a solution. But I went on for two years, wasting time, money and physical comfort. Then about a month ago an acquaintance referred me to Dr. Marone. She told me how he helped her with a bulging disk. I went in for an hour consultation. Dr. Marone was very methodical in his technique and examination. He explained to me how the muscle tissue around my hip, abdominal and pelvis has turned into scar tissue and were hardly firing (working properly) resulting in my hip, pelvis and lower back to misalign. We started active release therapy to get those muscles working again. After just one session of active release therapy, I was able to get out of bed without titling to one side. After six sessions, I was able to get out of bed immediately and without pain. This process took about five weeks. I am now able to work out, sit and stand for longer periods of time. I feel better than I have felt in the past two years. Although my therapy is not completely over, the overall quality of my physical well-being has been restored to what it was two years ago. For that I am grateful to Dr. Marone, for his awesome work. Thanks for visiting our site.
