Football Player Uses ARPwave to Rehab After ACL and Meniscus Surgery on Knee

 

Josh a college football player initially came in to Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab to take his game to the next level. Upon further review in his consultation the ARPwave positively identified multiple neurological hotspots spots in his body. The the most concerning spot was at his knees. With a positively identified neurological hot spot the joint and surrounding muscles are susceptible to injury. Unfortunately Josh wasn’t able to start his ARPwave Neuro Therapy treatment at the time. Shortly after he blew out one of his knees during a game. Tearing his ACL and meniscus which required full surgical reconstruction.

Sciatica and Chronic Low Back Pain Treated with ARPwave

Sciatica and Chronic Low Back Pain Treated with ARPwave

 

Tommy, a five-year Army veteran came to Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab to try and find relief for his chronic low back pain and sciatica. Although back pain and sciatica are relatively common now with nearly 40% of Americans experiencing sciatica symptoms at some point throughout their life. Tommy didn’t just get his back pain or sciatica from bad posture or overuse. During a parachute exercise for the Army, he experienced a catastrophic shoot failure where he free-fell 200+ feet back down and “bounced off the red Earth of North Carolina”.

When I say Tommy is a trooper, I don’t mean just a soldier. He was lucky to be alive but unable to walk for the first six months after the accident. Tommy underwent extensive procedures, operations, injections and physical therapy to his back and sciatic nerve.  Although he was able to maintain nearly all of his function he lived in a great deal of pain constantly, detrimentally limiting his mobility.

After various other means of treatment, Tommy’s low back pain and sciatic symptoms didn’t seem to get any better. So he decided to try ARPwave Neuro Therapy. After completing his ARPwave therapy his pain has decreased dramatically. The sciatic and back pain that once plagued Tommy’s life is “not even a nuisance”. He hasn’t had to use a cane or take any pain medication. Thanks to ARPwave Tommy now walks and lives pain-free!

Following knee surgery, Mark got hard to work at a traditional physical therapy clinic. Months of therapy passed but the results just weren’t there. So he decided to try another traditional physical therapy clinic. But AGAIN, found himself in the same position. Surely it couldn’t happen a third time he presumed while starting therapy at a third traditional therapy clinic. After giving it his all, Mark was still left with knee pain, stiffness and instability.

Desperate for help he turned to his sports surgeon specialist, Dr. Jamie Lynch. She would go on to recommending him to try ARPwave neuro therapy here at Neuro Sports Performance and Rehab. In just one treatment Mark had experienced more progress than the months of effort put in prior to traditional therapy. After a few weeks, his mobility and strength began to return. Now a few months later he found himself in an entirely different position. A pain free, mobile and strong state finally! Through all of his initial speculations and months of physical and neurological challenges, Mark was able to achieve all of this success with ARPwave and the therapists here at Neuro Sports.

But after what seemed like ages in traditional physical therapy, he had seen hardly any progress in his knee.

With unannounced instability, severe muscle atrophy decreased mobility and now chronic pain he sought out a fresh start somewhere else but would get an unexpected answer. During his initial consultation and examination, it quickly dawned on Erick that ARPwave neuromuscular therapy was not a traditional physical therapy but could provide the rapid recovery he was looking for.

“ARPwave has been hands-down the best decision I have ever made”

“ARPwave has been hands-down the best decision I have ever made”

Recently Neuro Sports Performance has had the pleasure of treating a passionate martial artist name Elizabeth. Elizabeth was finishing up a kung fu class one day when she suffered a knee injury that left her leg like a limp spaghetti noodle. An MRI would later confirm that she tore her ACL and would require a full reconstruction and knee surgery. With reassurance from her surgeon that her knee would be “good as new” in a year, she had high hopes for her recovery following surgery.

 

San Antonio ARPwave Clinic

 

Six months down the road, Elizabeth had given her knee time to heal and completes her prescribed physical therapy. Looking at her progress and where she was physically, “devastated would be an understatement”. Knee pain was a constant occurrence in her life. Some things that were simple now seemed impossible. She wondered if her knee “would ever be normal again” and even at times thought “it would be easier if I just lost my whole leg”. Then she came to the conclusion “that regular physical therapy is crap” and looked for something better. Through some research, she would discover ARPwave Neuro Therapy here at Neuro Sports Performance. Which she refers to as a “life saver” now. Elizabeth dedicated herself fully to the ARPwave rehabilitation protocol and her knee responded fantastically. “I look forward to being able to kick a bag again soon” she remarked eagerly.

 

San Antonio ARPwave Clinic

 

The pain that seemed to always linger and sometimes debilitate her, disappeared. Her mobility, strength and stability rapidly improved. As her strength grew, so did her confidence. Once and for all she was able to return to martial arts with great optimism. “ARPwave has been hands-down the best decision I have ever made …I believe, wholeheartedly, that I will come out of this experience a better martial artist and a better person. I look forward to being able to kick a bag again soon, polishing up my Hung Gar forms, sparring, and finally testing for my first-degree black sash.”

Since completing her therapy Elizabeth has returned to kicking bags and earning belts. Watch her inspiring testimonial at the top of the page or read her blog to hear her story yourself. What You KNEEd To Know – Wilkinsthewanderer

ARPwave Heals Chronic Hip Pain

 

One evening in 2010, Megan and her mother were driving home full of excitement. Megan sat in the passenger seat and cradled in her arms was an eight week old puppy they had just adopted. She was eager to get home and show her new best friend their backyard, bed, toys and all. As the car went into a turn, an oncoming driver crossed over into their lane, slamming into the side of the car and sending the car into a ditch until it would finally come to rest, upside down.  After nearly four hours, the fire department was able to get both of the girls and their puppy out safely, but not without injury. Megan sustained a hip injury and her mother tore her rotator cuff. For Megan, the next 6 years would consist of struggling to overcome the injury sustained from this wreck.

This injury plagued her, causing her to stop running in track, playing softball, swimming and participating in everything else a high school athlete does! It didn’t just stop at Megan’s extracurricular activities, sitting at her desk in school, sleeping and even studying became frustrating and always uncomfortable and painful. Not a day passed that the pain didn’t bother her. The pain would sometimes be so bad that it would make her nauseated and feel faint. As a 16 year old girl, she was very limited. She couldn’t keep up with her friends anymore. If they wanted to walk around the mall Megan would have to stop a take breaks or even sit down to rest for a while due to the pain. Even the simple task of seeing a movie was daunting. She couldn’t stand the pain of sitting the entirety of the movie either. She found herself constantly taking pain relievers to try to get through her days.

Following her accident, she almost immediately started chiropractic care, massage and physical therapy. After initially seeing some benefits and progress things appeared optimistic. Over the course of 5 years Megan dedicated herself to putting in the time and work that was required to get better. She continued to make some progress but the injury continued to plague her life relentlessly. The progress Megan once saw improving each week, had plateaued. Out of options, an orthopedic surgeon recommended and experimental hip surgery. With her progress coming to a halt with the previous treatments she elected to undergo surgery.

She wouldn’t be out of the previous therapies for very long. After her hip surgery, she once again started back up with physical therapy, massage therapy and chiropractic care. For almost a moment there was a glimmer of hope but a few months following her surgery, her symptoms reappeared but WORSE. She was prescribed more pain killers and more physical therapy. All through her pain never stopped Megan’s life kept going and she began college on crutches and was still struggling with hip pain at the age of 18.

It wouldn’t be until 2 years post-surgery where her path would cross with Neuro Sports’ very own Travis Boyd in college at UTSA. Travis started working for NSP&R and quickly saw what possible benefits ARPwave neuro therapy could provide Megan. After undergoing a consult and treatment the optimism reappeared in Megan. Once again she had to dedicate her herself to putting in the time and work to get better. Over the course of her treatment, her pain lessened tremendously. The pain that used to be constantly present and daunting now became minimal and infrequent. She found herself able to get through and an entire day of class or work a majority of the time entirely pain free!

As she progressed in her ARPwave neuro therapy, her confidence grew. A pain free walk through the neighborhood with her dog seemed like a tremendous success but she didn’t stop there. She turned that walk into a run and slowly began incorporating exercise back into her lifestyle. After what seemed like nearly forever, Megan finally started to feel normal again.

Since completing her ARPwave neuro therapy she has continued to receive treatment on her hips to further her success in and outside the office. Seeing what tremendous results she had on her hips, she has since started treatment on her shoulder with great success as well. Overcoming these adversities she’s been able to push herself to limits and experience all the joy life has to provide.
