About 11 weeks prior to writing this review I injured a disc in my neck while on a cruise. I went to the urgent care in Miami when my cruise returned, and then twice to the ER in the WakeMed system, and lastly to the Orthopedic Urgent Care in WakeMed. NONE of these doctors helped me. I called Results Physiotherapy out of pure pain and frustration. Krista got me a same day appointment with Joseph Conaty and it has been life changing for me. Joseph did a physical assessment on me, worked on my neck, and got me some pain relief for the first time in 10 days. Prior to visiting Joe, I had prescriptions for opioids from the ER that helped with the pain, but didn't take it away.
Every time I visited Joe, I got significant pain relief. Not only that, but he recommended a doctor that would actually end up performing the necessary tests (ordering an MRI) and accurately diagnosing my issue. It turned out that I had a slipped disc in my neck that had moved my nerve 3-4 millimeters out from where it was supposed to be. This pressure was affecting my strength to the point that I was dropping items and unable to lift with full strength and surgery was a very real possibility for me. The surgery was not without risks and there would have been a scar. Visiting Joe 3-5 times a week and following the exercises that he had given me allowed me to avoid the surgery.
As I write this today, I'm back to 99.9% of my functionality and I owe the vast majority of my recovery to Joseph Conaty and the amazing staff at Results Physiotherapy. If you have pain and have been told to seek out Physiotherapy, don't hesitate any longer, make an appointment now.
