Wisconsin Orthopedic Physical Therapy

I had adhesive capulitis which is known as «frozen shoulder». This went on for a solid six months of stiffness and pain and lack of range of motion. Look it up. it stinks. Than it gradually got better. I treated it rather holistically with trigger point massage, magnesium oil and a few rounds with the chiropractor. By the time I came to see «Dr. Mike» most of it had resolved except for some nagging trigger points down my shoulder blades and to my neck that had been bothering me for a few months. Very «nagging» I might add and that it just didn’t seem to want to go away. I tried more massage, but it it was just temporary. He offers dry needling which breaks up these trigger points. It is different than acupuncture and it does hurt when performed. It is nothing earth shattering especially if you already have/​had pain. Do it if you are just sick and tired of the pain and if it prevents you from doing what you really want to do. I did I think six rounds of this. It has been a month now and no more nagging trigger points. It feels so good! Great results! (I also know someone that had great results with a hamstring issue) He also gave me some exercises in which I admit I didn’t do faithfully and it didn’t even involve a lot of your time! (I have been doing a lot of working out though with my arms. Ha!!) Dr Mike is also the type of person that can communicate well with all ages whether you are 5 years old or 90. Very personable. Oh and it was also covered under my insurance. If you don’t have insurance they offer an affordable option as well.
