I've been receiving regular treatment from Dr. Mascetta for about 4 years now for my cluster headaches. I've suffered with cluster headaches since 2001 and chiropractic seems to be the only long term solution that has worked for me. Dr. Mascetta's treatment approach was unlike any other chiropractor's treatment that I have experienced. His approach is very hands-on with a lot of soft tissue work. He is able to pinpoint the stressed areas in my neck and back and go to work on them. I never feel like I am being rushed by him. If I am having a bad flare-up, he will spend the extra time needed to try different treatment techniques, such as pressure point stimulation, and do whatever he can to make the pain go away. When I am not going through a spell of headaches, I see him monthly for adjustments which I truly believe is keeping the headaches away for longer periods of relief. Before seeing Dr. Mascetta, I was having acute attacks every other month. I've gone for over two years now without a flare-up spell. Beside the headaches, he has also helped me with relieving pain caused by arthritis in my feet, the occasional common cold symptoms, neck spasms, and life's miscellaneous aches and pains from working on your feet all day. I think that one thing that really makes his approach unique is his background in sports injury therapy. He knows and understands biomechanics very well and doesn't seem to be stumped easily by any bodily problem I bring to his attention. I would recommend him to anyone, for any pain they are in. Even if you don't think a chiropractor can help, give it a try ... it might be the key.
