"My back and foot pain is nearly gone and I danced at my niece s wedding!"

I suffered with low back pain and extreme pain in the heel of my right foot for about a year. It was getting progressively worse and I couldn't find a remedy. I tried physical therapy, anti-inflammatories and an injection of cortisone in my spine. It just kept getting worse. When I found Dr. Shelley's insert in the paper I decided to call and schedule a consultation. He performed a very thorough examination including neurologic testing no one had done before. He requested copies of my MRI report and took special x-rays on my low back. I was impressed that he took time to explain everything to me! He said that he was confident that he could help me, but that he would re-examine me after 3 to 4 weeks of treatment and if I wasn't progressing satisfactorily we wouldn t continue treatment. I'm glad to say that I did get better. Treatment was successful! The pain in my right heel and foot is gone. The pain in my low back is very mild now, and I am able to do more with less pain! My quality of life is so much better. I am able to go for long walks again and I can sit in the car longer with less pain. I took a trip by car to visit our son in Portland, Oregon and a plane trip to Wisconsin in June for my nieces wedding, both with only mild pain. I even danced two Polkas with my husband at my nieces wedding and enjoyed a two hour boat tour on the Wisconsin River! The staff at Olympic Spine and Sports Therapy are friendly, very competent and easy to work with. They were the only ones who relieve my pain without surgery and more medication.
