I started going to South Hills Physical Medicine when I moved to the South Hills 2.5 years ago. I had a chiropractor that I loved, but he was now 45 min away and that just wasn't practical. I started seeing Dr Knetzer regularly every 3 to 4 weeks for just general maintenance. I wasn't in the best shape and had been a waitress for way to many years in my younger years. He is fantastic! What I like most is how every adjustment isn't exactly the same. Of course he has a general routine, but depending on what is bothering me, he adjusts my treatment accordingly. Sometimes it's more massage based and others it incorporates a lot of stretching. I also really like the muscle stimulation with either heat or ice during every visit.

And then on May 8th of last year I was in a really bad car accident where my car was totaled. I suffered a neck sprain, whiplash and soft tissue damage. I felt broken! After an X-ray of my spine to make sure nothing was actually broken, I limped into their office 3 days later. I remember he told me that I looked lopsided. My whole body was literally slanted. It was then that I realized just how talented he and the staff really were! There are lots of ups and downs when recuperating from this type of injury. And for the first few months I had to see him twice a week. I had constant head aches and wasn't sleeping very well. He was thorough, kind and really listened to me. All the while reassuring me that I would eventually get back to my pre-accident state. There were definitely days when I didn't think that day would ever come. It took roughly 7 months to get me back, but here I am!

I can NOT speak highly enough about the care that Dr Knetzer and the staff of South Hills Physical Medicine has given me. I really look forward to seeing them at each visit, even though I am usually in pain when I walk through the door. I always walk out feeling wonderful!
