Back pain is one of the most common conditions we treat at Airrosti. Our providers can help pinpoint and resolve the root cause of your back pain, leading to complete and rapid injury resolution in 89% of cases (based on patient-reported outcomes). Learn more about our quality approach to care.
The human spine is a complex structure of bones supported by muscles, nerves, ligaments, and tendons. The segments of our spine are cushioned with cartilage-like pads called discs. Injuries or dysfunctions with any of these components can lead to back pain.
Back pain can come from a traumatic injury or develop into a chronic condition over time, lasting for months or even years. Chronic back pain can cause long-term restrictions in your overall mobility and quality of life.
Several injuries commonly associated with back pain include:
Discomfort in the upper and mid back pain is commonly caused by overuse, muscle strain, injury, poor posture, or herniated discs. One of the most common culprits of upper and mid back pain is a musculoskeletal condition called Upper Cross Syndrome.
Problems in the lower back can be caused by a variety of injuries and imbalances in the complex structure of the spine. Many people experience a low back injury from improper lifting techniques or after sitting with an excessive arch in the low back. Nerve entrapment and muscular imbalances in the hips can also contribute to low back pain. These issues often develop into painful conditions like sciatica and Lower Cross Syndrome.
Although the causes of back pain may be different depending on location and type of injury, most back injuries share similar symptoms, including:
Pain symptoms are more common the older you get, and your risk of long-term injury is increased by lack of physical activity or by carrying extra weight. Certain repetitive activities may also affect your recovery time, such as lifting, pushing, or sitting for extended periods of time.

I have sufffered severe back pain for 10+ years. Nothing helped and I had to do life & care for my little kids in extreme pain. I went to see Dr. Wheeler and after ONE visit I had HUGE improvement. I could stand up straight for the first time in a decade! It’s been nothing short of a miracle and I am forever greatful!

My issues started with a common morning neck pain, that rapidly transitioned to my upper trap area and upper back. I could barely sleep as I felt needles on my back, decreasing range of motion in my neck, and starting to lose strength on my right upper back/shoulder area. Easy activities like lifting a 10-pound bag above my head or driving was painful. I went to a couple of therapists, and then to a spinal surgeon, physical therapy exercises, and had an MRI with none to little improvement. At this point most of the improvement was accomplished via medication: steroids and anti-inflammatory pills. I was recommended Arriosti by a friend that was aware of my issues and heard about it from another friend who was almost going to surgery, deci...+ show moreded to give Arriosti a try and after a few sessions he was significantly better. In my case I needed to try something new as I was in a point where Doctors would not recommend surgery, yet my pain was the same. In Arriosti I found the following from the beginning to the end of my program: • Comprehensive exam and evaluation about my physical issues. • Commitment of taken care of my situation, not so much in the number of visits, but with clear path of consistent improvement • Willingness to work with me and my insurance which has limited authorized visits. • Detailed explanation of possible causes, consequences, and ways of treatments for my pain • Detailed explanation of the exercises and therapies to be done in order to accelerate the treatment efficiency • Clear transition from myofascial release, to stretch, to strengthen muscles groups, including taping. • Honest concern about my situation and improvement I cannot express enough my gratitude towards the staff of this facility as they met and exceed tmy expectations and for sure will be my place to go in case of any injure or physical issue.

I have been suffering from massive lower back spasms off and on for years, and they came back in full force in early 2020. They were so bad over the course of five months that I had to resort to a lot of medication and long recovery times (weeks of being able to barely walk or stand). Going to work some days ways a major struggle and I could barely walk around the house, being in fear of a sudden wave of debilitating spasms. Long story short, I saw a back surgeon who decided that I was not a candidate for surgery and he referred me to Dr. Vick at Airrosti in Houston, TX. She took a lot of time to listen and understand what was going on with my back and I saw her for several treatments, which produced absolutely amazing results. I have be...+ show moreen living pain free for about a month now and I don't take any medication. As a bonus, she was able to help me learn how to stretch and move properly so I can avoid a spasm situation. I am so glad that I found Dr. Vick and I would recommend her to anyone suffering from spasms or a weak lower back. She knows what she is doing. This is game-changing treatment.

Dr. Gibson is awesome. I came in originally with a severely pinched nerve in my neck, had hip issues and knee pain. Dr. Gibson has not only corrected the alignment causing all of these issues, but we discovered that the pinched nerve was directly related to/causing the migraines I had been suffering from. She has also taught me how to treat my body better, to listen to it when I'm hurting and how to stretch/exercise to keep me out of her office!!
by Rebecca Bishop
I went in the Airrosti office because I have issues with muscles in my back. Dr. Gibson examined my back and after careful evaluation, she manipulated the muscles and relieved my pain. Exercises were suggested which should help prevent my back muscles from spasming. I am very happy with the treatment I received.

Working with Dr. Clarissa Engen has changed my life and prepared me for my next years of health. From my first visit, Dr. Engen was able to pinpoint my back issues and fast track me on the road to recovery. The home practices that she gave me are part of my new daily routine and are strengthening my back and posture in ways I'd never learned before in chiropractic or physical therapy visits. The Airrosti way is truly revolutionary and Dr. Engen knows, utilizes, and teaches it with great expertise. I'm so glad I found you!

I was so thankful that Airrosti was open for me to go to my appointment. During this pandemic a lot of places are closing and doing tele-visits. I’m now 18 weeks pregnant and needed to be seen for some back pain I have been having! I felt so comfortable going into their office. Dr. Bosse was great at explaining things to me and helped me understand the root of my issues! Super thankful to have them available to help people like me in medical field and others as well!!

Reg and Airrosti helped with me to get my body restored after being in an accident about 12 years ago. I hadn’t went to the hospital or underwent any physical therapy , so I was really jacked up with being out of alignment, and my left arm starting to slump and had 85% hip rotation restricted. I didn’t know how much trauma I had endured until I actually went to Airrosti. He helped me get through what happened on a personal level, calling me in the evenings to check on me, really meant a lot, more than he knows. He helped me get through the trauma kinda walking me through the process. When you’ve lived with that much trauma, you deal with a lot of tissue from the overcompensation you’re body will endure from taking that much time....+ show more I thought I was just jacked up for the rest of my life. Reg and Maggie were great.

I was anticipating the worst on my first visit, but Kristina was able to put my mind at ease with some humor and empathy. My back was in a lot of pain and after leaving, the pain was diminished considerably. I enjoyed my visit and highly recommend Kristina and Megan!

Six weeks ago I hurt my back (probably lifting something too heavy). Didn’t know it was too heavy until the following evening when I first experienced pain and could barely stand. After resting a few days I sought the help of an orthopedic, they sent me to get an MRI. The result showed a protrusion in my L5-S1 disk that was pressing on the sciatic nerve. From that point, I started researching what that meant and what to do about it. This step led me to Dr. Henby at Airrosti. I’ve never been to a Chiropractor, so I was unsure this would be the right direction to take. After reading the information on many of the Airrosti websites, I decided to take a chance. This action proved to be very helpful on several levels by: receiving the per...+ show moresonal attention I wanted, receiving the right type of therapy needed for my injury, receiving the right information (education and PT program) I needed to set me on the correct path of continued healing and to help prevent future injury. Dr. Henby and Brooke are very knowledgeable, caring professionals. Their behaviors told me that they not only cared about me and wanted to help, but given my type of injury, that I would very likely heal and be able to get my life back. If you have taken the time to read through this review then my assumption is that you’re in a lot of pain and that you too are taking matters into your own hands by doing whatever it takes to solve your problem. My type of injury was listed on their website for the types of pain they treat. If you find your symptoms listed, I HIGHLY recommend you go in for an evaluation. My expectations were certainly exceeded, maybe yours will be too!

I went to see Dr. Chaney after being rear-ended in a car accident. My entire back was hurting me really bad (9/10). I couldn't bend over, walk fast, or do much of anything without it hurting; it limited me on what I could do. After seeing him 2 straight days and going through PT and exercises, my back is back to normal without any pain (0/10) and back to my normal activities without any issues. I feel like I received a new back.

I've been seeing Dr. Kramer for many years and she has a been tremendously help in all of my sports injury recovery! I've had 11 sports surgery before ever knowing Arrosti and I've never quite playing tennis or doing triathlons so keeping the balance in my body is a lot of work. Having Dr. Kramer is like having my own physio which all pro athlete do so its great having Airrosti in this role. If it wasn't for all the work Dr. Kramer has done on my back, calf's, hamstring etc every time I get injured, I would not be able to continue with sports, so I'm very happy to share the benefit anytime I get the chance with others.

Dr. McGowan was a god send. I had severe back issues and she helped me to understand possible solutions. I always felt better after I went to her sessions and she trained me on daily exercises to continue my treatment after. Dr. McGowan is very professional yet down to earth and I felt so welcome in her office. Lastly, she followed up with me after my sessions were concluded. I definitely recommend her. She is knowledgeable, professional, warm, courteous and caring!! I will always choose her and Airrosti with my pain management needs!!

I had lower back pain that would wake me from my sleep in the early morning hours. I'm a 45-year-old woman with no prior back injuries. It was very confusing to me that my back would hurt just from sleeping, but didn't bother me during the day. My pain started roughly 5 years ago with it only being a couple of times a month, but has gradually gotten worse and would wake me every morning. My primary doctor suggested I go to Airrosti. I have to admit I was skeptical. I'd been to other physical therapists and also to a chiropractor, but neither really helped, the pain was still there in the mornings. At my first Airrosti appointment, Dr. Cabrera (in Kyle, TX) did deep muscle massage on my lower back. The days between my visits I had exercis...+ show morees I was to do at home 2x day to also help my lower back. It has been almost 2 months since my 4th appointment and I haven't had any lower back pain since. I am thrilled that it has stayed away from this long after just 4 appointments! I can't believe something that has bothered me for 5+ years and had gotten progressively worse over that time, was able to be remedied in just 4 appointments. I would so HIGHLY recommend giving Airrosti a try if you have the pain of any kind!! It'll be well worth your time!!

I have had a lower back injury dating back to 1992 while serving in the US Army. Since then I have gone through every single sort of rehab available and I am an athlete. I love to play basketball. Before meeting Dr. Trimmier, I would play, at most 2 times a month due to the amounts of pain and recovery I would have to endure just to play a few games. After my very 1st appointment, I had a new understanding of why my 5 compressed discs (3 bulging/2 ruptured) were hurting me so. I do the exercises and stretches using my roller and peanut and I feel truly blessed with a new life. I am now 4 years into almost daily basketball regimen!

Scott has always been passionate and knowledgeable about health and wellness. He is someone to be trusted and his past experiences have built him into a great provider.

I am so grateful for Dr. Irene Val-Addo and Lauren Miles at Airrosti in Allen, Texas! After 5 months of lower back and tailbone pain, I finally decided to try physical therapy. I was very skeptical that it would help, but I was willing to try anything. My pain was at the point that I found myself choosing to stand instead of sitting, which affected my “retirement “ lifestyle in so many negative ways! I couldn’t travel by plane or car, workouts were painful, and going to the theater didn’t happen. I explained my issue to Dr. V and Lauren. They prescribed a plan of action which included treatment therapy and stretching/ strength exercises.

Not only do I feel stronger and more flexible, but I’ve lost 3 pounds because I can move again without pain! I have recommended Airrosti and this amazing team to my husband! Thank you Dr. Val-Addo and Lauren, you are the best!

I received Airrosti treatment in January and before the treatment, I could not run a mile without my back hurting. I am 25 years old and have been to a lot of different types of treatment for my lower back pain with barely any success. I went to Airrosti as a last ditch effort to help this chronic pain because I was determined to try anything that helps. I can say that after Airrosti my lower back pain has significantly improved and I just completed my first half marathon a few days ago in 2:00 hours. That’s going from not being able to run a mile to running 13 miles with no back pain! Thank you a lot Dr. Kirk and I highly recommend Airrosti to anyone suffering from lower back pain.

I have been seeing orthopedic surgeons, spine specialists, physical therapists, chiropractors, massage therapists, pain-management therapists.....I had one good physical therapist firm, but none of them took away the pain the way Dr. Browning did. Within three visits, I had so much less pain -- I didn't even believe it was possible anymore to feel that well. Its been a few months, and I continue to feel better and better. I'm a believer. I was skeptical -- I'd been to so many others! But I'm glad I gave it another try with Airrosti. Dr. Browning is amazing.

I have suffered from lower back pain my whole life but it wasn't until the condition of my lower back started seriously affecting the daily life that I sought help from Dr. Rutledge. Only three visits and I am back to daily exercise and feeling better than I have in thirty years. Aside from the hands-on therapy, he provided counseling and exercises that not only relieved my pain, it will enable me to take personal control of my health and remain pain-free for years to come. I wish I would have found him years ago!

I cannot say enough about Dr. Rutledge and his staff! I am simply amazed at my recovery and how far I came in such a short period of time. I literally was in so much pain with my back and had seen so many doctors, chiropractors, massage therapists, etc. that I was at the point I thought I would never get better. I was sleeping on the floor and with so many pillows to prop my legs up as I slept and was in tears every day. I have been a dance teacher and a school teacher for years and have always been very active, so being in so much pain and not being able to find relief was overwhelming. Then, my prayers were answered when I heard about Airrosti!

I was shocked at how fast I was finding relief! I can honestly say I would recommend anyone and everyone go see Dr. Rutledge for any type of pain! I know that if I have any pain in the future, instead of wasting my time and money going from doctor to doctor trying to find relief I will go straight to Dr. Rutledge! Thank you again Airrosti!!!

I have had chronic lower back pain ever since I had my first child 11 years ago. I had seen several chiropractors and researched stretches and exercises to help. Each chiropractic visit would usually give me short term relief (a day or less) and then it hurt again. I had finally decided I would just have to deal with lower back pain for the rest of my life. (As a mom to 4 kids and a farmer, that was a tough pill to swallow) After a family vacation where I couldn't participate in all the fun activities and hikes, I was beyond frustrated and upset. I was applying for our annual insurance benefits when I learned about Airrosti. I was skeptical but figured it couldn't hurt to try it. Within 2 weeks and three visits with Dr. Newman in Forney,...+ show more TX, my back no longer hurt. He listened well to understand my pain and he explained the process to try and help my back. His PT, Amy was awesome too. Great at explaining what I needed to continue at home for relief. The two of them are an amazing team that is very thorough. I continue to do my stretches and have been pain-free for months now. I cannot even explain what a God-send that Airrosti has been for me. It truly was an answered prayer to not constantly be uncomfortable or in pain. I am so thankful for Dr. Newman!!

I was in severe pain after hurting my hip/back. After a few weeks with little/no improvement, I went to the ER, then to an orthopedic surgeon who took Xrays and found no bone issues. His recommended course of action was to treat it with drugs (pain med, anti-inflammatory, and muscles relaxer). While the meds did provide some relief, I was still in significant pain after a month. That's when I scheduled my first appointment with Dr. Payne at Airrosti. After four visits, I am virtually pain-free and much stronger. Dr. Payne carefully reviewed all of the information about the injury (including the orthopedic visit summary and Xrays). She put together a personalized treatment plan, initially projecting it would require five visits. At each v...+ show moreisit, we reviewed the current status and she spent at least 40 minutes on personalized Aerrosti treatment. For the remaining 20 minutes, I worked with Dr. Davis on physical therapy. He put together a home treatment plan to stretch and strengthen. After only four visits, I was discharged virtually pain-free. One other terrific feature is the patient portal. Literally, everything is done online. All of the paperwork was completed online (I didn't fill out a single piece of paper at the office), and the portal retains all my information, including appointment times, treatment plans, and even videos of the exercises prescribed. Even after being discharged, I still have lifetime access to the portal. I strongly recommend this awesome team at Airrosti!

I had hip replacement Oct. 2018, I went to regular physical therapy which was helping but not as fast as I'd like. Still limping with back pain and was unable to tie my shoes! Justin discovered my leg was shorter than before and worked on my muscle mass to relieve the tightness which I'm hoping will help with the length. He suggested I use orthopedic lifts which have really helped my back and walk!

After experiencing hip and low back pain for years due to a fall, my company insurance introduced us to the Airrosti program. I thought I would give it a try to see if it would help. Well, that was the best thing that I could have possibly done for myself. After just three treatments and the exercises that I have received, I’m am now 100% pain-free. I did not realize the pain I was feeling was only muscle damage that was repairable.

Before Airrosti I had seen multiple doctors, a spine specialist, orthopedic surgeons, and chiropractors etc. everyone one of them told me they would recommend surgery. They basically said to live with the pain or get surgery. So I ended up scheduling surgery at the laser spine institute. I backed out last minute due to some bad reviews I read the day before surgery...Thankfully! So I just decided to live with it. So here I am about 8-10 years later and just frustrated with my back pain because I can not sleep well or walk for a long period of time without significant pain I decided to try something different.

She stressed how she was going to get me feeling better in 3-4 visits. I was happy to hear some positive information but to say I believed that right after all the years of pain and doctors I would be lying. I was hopeful for sure but still unsure. I quickly learned that Dr.Halboth is a mad scientist when it comes to the human body. She educated me so much on why I was having the pain I was having and how she was going to fix it. She was able to tell me things about my body that no one else has. She was confident in her skills and she had every right to be because she is that good! I don’t even believe it happened but after 3 sessions with her, my pain has gone down tremendously to basically no discomfort. I have been doing all my physical activities with no issues. I play golf and I don’t have the pain as I used to have after 18 holes. Dr.Halboth is simply amazing! She is great at what she does. I don’t think she was meant to do anything else in life. She will even text you on the weekend to see how you are feeling. What other doctor takes time out of their personal day to do that?! She’s amazing. I love her for all she has done for me. I will forever be grateful for her. This is hands down the best place to go if you have any pain or discomfort in your body. Trust these people because they really care about their patients and I recommend you ask for Dr. Halboth because the “mad scientist of the body” is amazing!

A friend of mine recommended Airrosti treatment to me after a back injury that had me in quite a bit of pain. I saw Dr. Wilson at the Airrosti Waterway office and within four visits, he had completely eradicated my back pain and worked out some other muscle issues in my upper back, shoulders, and neck that I have been dealing with for years. I cannot recommend this treatment enough! Dr. Wilson did an evaluation of my range of motion and the location of my pain before showing me all the potential causes of it.

I was referred to Airrosti by a co-worker. Luckily there was an office just minutes from my work so I made an appointment with Dr.Traylor. I have had back issues for over 4 years when I repeatedly pulled a muscle in my back, which resulted in 3 & 1/2 months of physical therapy and almost a year of pain daily. I reinjured my back this past spring and was trying to avoid physical therapy. When I tweaked my back a month ago, is when I was referred to Airrosti. Dr. Traylor did an amazing job.

A co-worker told me about AIRROSTI, and I was skeptical that real results could be attained in 3 sessions, as the advertisement read. But I hobbled in with pain in my back the next day. After the 30 minute treatment using only his thumbs, I could walk straighter and with very little pain. Then he showed me exercises I could do on my own and scheduled another appointment for 3 days later. After the second treatment we agreed that I could be released from treatment, and continue with the exercises. I was pain-free! I walked straight!

I came to Airrosti at the recommendation of other water skiers, and now I know why they love it! I have a history of back spasms and needed some pain and tension relief after a recent spasm. Dr. Rios was able to relax the lower and mid back muscles to a point where I felt better than I had in a decade. I also learned about why this happened and ways to reduce pain in the future. I was able to water ski in the national tournament 3 weeks after my back spasm, which was over two weeks sooner than my previous injury recovery! I was able to ski near my best performance and was on the podium! So glad I came to see her!

I have had back pain for years until Troy Barnes fixed me up. I have been to several doctors with no positive results.

I was hesitant to try Airrosti because my mom and her boyfriend both said it was intense; however, I wanted to be able to take control of my own recovery. Dr. Naum and Kathryn Galindo were super knowledgeable and to the point with rehab for my lower back. The exercises have helped me feel like I can do something to prevent and ease my lower back pain when I kickbox. I don’t need to take days off to recover from my lower back pain anymore. Plus, their professional and personable demeanors make sessions enjoyable.

No words to describe how wonderful Dr. Meriwether and his staff are. My husband could barely walk when he went to them with a back injury, and within two visits he was 90% back to normal. I've seen Dr. Meriwether about a recurring neck issue and serious lower back pain. Within the first visit, I was amazed at how much better I felt. He explained that my pelvic region was misaligned, and within a few minutes he had done what no massage therapist or chiropractor has ever been able to do for me. It has not been a band-aid fix, it is lasting relief.

I first went to see Dr. Sinclair in May 2018 because I was seeking a chiropractor who could help me with persistent lower back pain, and I needed someone who was a provider on my health insurance, which unfortunately, has few.

This link provides a nice description of what myofascia is, why it’s important to our body’s harmonious functioning, and what can interfere with its’ ability to do its’ job well: https://www.myofascialrelease.com/about/fascia-definition.aspx. Without providing an entire, tedious medical history, when Dr. Sinclair met me I was dealing not only with lower back pain from vertebral and disc deterioration, but also a constant frontward and downward tilt on my pelvis from several reproductive surgeries, and extensive myofascial damage to my right leg from an ACL and meniscal tear in 1980 that wasn’t fully addressed until 2009. Anyone who’s had such knee damage without immediate repair knows the repeated injuries my knee and leg suffered in the interim 35 years, and the pressure that put on my lower back. After my first meeting with Dr. Sinclair I had significantly less pain, a more upright posture, and was able to walk further without discomfort! During each visit Dr. Sinclair worked on a different area of the myofascia in my lower back, and on the final, fifth visit, she addressed the myofascia in my legs and abdomen. The results have been truly incredible! It's now 2 months after discharge from Airrosti, and I've continued to gain strength, endurance and mobility as promised by Dr. Sinclair. I continue to do the exercises prescribed by BSW's PT team, and the safe ones Justin prescribed several times a week and am definitely reaping the benefits! I can plan longer outings with shorter rest periods before and after, I can stand to cook and clean for a couple of hours now, I can sit upright in an armless office chair for up to 4 hours without problems. None of this was possible before Airrosti! I can’t help but think of all the money I’d have saved over the almost 30 years of getting regular chiropractic visits if treatment like what Dr. Sinclair provides had been available sooner! Airrosti pairs their Airrosti Therapy Providers with traditional Physical Therapists located in their offices. My Physical Therapist was Justin. I wish I had glowing words I could share on that experience as well, but we had persistent communication issues that required I enlist Dr. Sinclair’s persuasion to address. I’m still unsure how saying, “My orthopedic surgeon has disallowed I do anything that resembles squats.” can be misinterpreted, but it was, repeatedly, for 3 visits. When you consider 3-5 visits is the norm at Airrosti, it’s easy to see how this is troublesome. The fact that my kneecap slipped off track, as my orthopedic surgeon warned me it might, and as I advised Justin it might, creates additional concern. Fortunately, I have a different chiropractor who knows how to replace it. I lost my patience with Justin on the 3rd or 4th visit and challenged what I perceived to be his giving a standard exercise routine to anyone who showed up with a specific problem, while ignoring other physical restrictions that might be harmed by his default exercise regimen. He agreed that he does have default exercise programs that he prescribes, and that he’d have to work on listening to his patients better. I certainly hope he has for the sake of other middle-aged patients who enter his door with a variety of physical restrictions for having lived a once active, if sometimes ill-advised youth.. If for no other reason than I’d hate for them to not avail themselves of Dr. Sinclair’s skills. One final accolade for Dr. Sinclair: I truly appreciate her willingness to suggest I research Stem Cell Therapy. It's not often I find a doctor these days who will say, "This is your next step if you want to continue getting well." I'm currently doing that protocol in hopes of regrowing damaged discs and menisci, and repairing arthritic bones, and hopefully avoiding the metal implants that would have been necessary in the future, otherwise. =)

I have gone to Airrosti in Waco for my back, shoulder, and knee. Dr. Peregrine and Ryan are awesome. They are caring and very informative. They have helped me in relieving pain and making healthy lifestyle adjustments. My daughter is now a patient and very impressed with the treatment she received.

My low back pain was restricting my everyday life, and after 3 visits with Dr. Vick and Cera, the pain was gone. And everyday life is back to normal.
by Mike R.
Back pain, ughh, never thought it would be so bad. I literally fell down in the bathroom one night last week and struggled for an hour to get back to bed. Mind you, I didn't want to wake up the wife and kids so literally crawled into bed for a grand total of 1 hour of sleep the first night. Previously, I had great luck with an Airrosti provider several months ago so I told myself why not give them another shot. So I called them up and scheduled a visit with Dr. Brooke Halboth (#miracleworker). She saw I was walking around like the Hunchback of Notre Dame in extreme pain and quickly started working her magic the first session. Within a few painful BUT relieving movements I was able to walk partially straight again! My next appt was the fo...+ show morellowing day, with more concentration on the acute hernaniated disc and surrounding muscles and joints. For this week, I have had 2 other appointments and I am close to 85% recovered! Within 1 weeks time, I am now able to walk straight and play with the kids. Folks, Dr. Brooke Halboth is a God send. This girl KNOWS what she is doing. I didnt have a doubt that my back pain would not go away and I would be able to be fully functional again. I hope the folks at Airrosti know the jewel they have on their staff. I am greatly pleased with the work she has done on my back and would highly recommend her to anyone. Words cannot describe the feeling of losing your ability with the simplest of things such as walking and regaining it back within 1 weeks time. Thank you Airrosti and most importantly, thank you Dr Brooke!

I had a great experience with Dr. Burns. He is a very nice guy and a pleasure to work with. I had pain in my back that radiated to the front rib cage. He worked it hard and feeling much better. Thanks, Dr. Burns!

Nick, I want to thank you for helping me with my recent back problems. Needless to say, I feel much better both physically and mentally. Your service and care have been outstanding from start to finish. As you know, I’m an experienced sports medicine physician and in many ways switching role as the patient has been extremely difficult. You’ve helped me solve this internal dilemma in the most efficient and professional way possible. In fact, you’ve educated me a great deal about my role as a physician in the care of the injured patient and the importance of optimal doctor-patient relation. Let me explain. It’s no secret that sports medicine physicians are often at odds with chiropractors and MSK soft tissue specialists. This of co...+ show moreurse makes no sense; which I learned without doubt through my interactions with you. It’s obvious to me that you know much more than me about very important and essential topics related to MSK injuries. Biomechanics, kinesiology, proprioception and muscle balance to name a few. You’re a true expert on this topics and I felt as a first year student in my own trade while discussing my injuries with you. Your place in the care of the injured patient is as important and indispensable as mine. Most if not all of my patients would benefit from your expertise and care, no doubt about it. Patients often want an easy and quick fix to their health problems. A magic pill, a special injection or the latest surgical procedure that would erase all their problems without any effort on their part. As physicians we often ignore the root of the problem and concentrate on quick fixes that produce immediate satisfaction but failed long term results. You do the opposite. Your ability to identify the root of the problem is outstanding and likely a reflection of your broad knowledge. Your fingers are good at releasing myofascial knots. Your prescribed exercises are excellent and on point. But your strength is your knowledge and ability to convince somebody like me to adhere and believe in the process, to correct bad habits and to become industrious with my own healthcare. You’ve made a very positive impact in my life and I want to thank you for that. Sincerely, Angel Gómez-Cintrón MD, MPH Associate Professor of Radiology Section Chief - Musculoskeletal Imaging and Intervention Director - UT Health San Antonio Imaging Centers

I've seen Dr. Corley for two different issues, one pertaining to back pain, and the other for knee. It's not just the relief from soft tissue manipulation, but the educational expertise, that sets Arrosti, and specifically Dr. Corley, apart from a normal family physician. Dr. Corley invests himself in his patients as well as arms you with great information that, when performed as directed, should, and did in my case, eliminate pain and future visits. He spent the necessary time to enlighten me, as well as directly working on my soft tissue problem. Outstanding support staff. Montana will work with you on exercises and show you the proper way to engage them. I love these guys! Thank you for all of your help.

I was dealing with nagging soccer injuries for a couple of years. Adductor, lower back and pelvic area. I went to multiple doctor visits, X ray and CT Scan. Nothing worked until I met Dr. Welch and Airrosti! After one visit I was playing again and after three visits I was healed! I highly recommend Dr. Welch! Marc Vandusen

I wish I could rate this office 10 Stars. I went in suffering from EXTREME back pain which radiated down my left leg. The pain was moving me toward "traditional" treatment of x-rays and steroid shots. By the end of the second treatment, exercises and stretching, I was 95% better to the point I almost canceled my third visit, glad I made the last visit, Dr. Myles and Megan fine tuned my treatment regimen and I am now pain free.
by Robert Myles
I came to Airrosti with bad back pains that hindered my ability to do normal activity’s. In 1 session Dr. Troy and Kevin were able to fix it and start me on very effective rehab exercises. They have even followed up with check-in calls and emails since then. Definitely recommended!!
by Caleb LaFollette
To be honest, I really can’t convey how grateful I am for Airrosti in a few paragraphs, but I’ll do my best ... I was very skeptical when I first heard of Airrosti. It seemed expensive. And really, too good to be true - it sounded like too simple of a solution. But I had gone to the chiropractor 80+ times over the last 2 years, and tried everything under the sun to help my pain ... despite it all, I was getting actively worse. I was in constant back and neck pain, that traveled to my legs and arms and hips and head. I was having debilitating muscle spasms that would last for weeks. Even light exercise left me with injuries (and I am an activity-loving person). I could barely sit for 10 minutes at a time because of excruciating pain. ...+ show moreI would only have relief for a few hours at best after a chiropractic adjustment. I was falling apart in so many ways. So out of desperation, I went. And I will be thankful that I did until the day I die. Dr. McGaughran and Jen are some of the kindest and most competent people I've ever met. They go above and beyond, and then some. They saw me, and they saw my pain, and they have worked repeatedly and expertly to fix it (and believe me, I have given them a boatload of pain to deal with). They have helped me in a way no other doctor or chiropractor had been able to. They have brought me incredible amounts of relief, and greatly increased my quality of life. I will continue recommending them as often as I possibly can. The money is absolutely worth it. They ARE as good as they sound. If they can’t fix you themselves, they will help you figure out where you need to go next. I am forever grateful to Airrosti, and especially to Dr. McGaughran and Jen.

My lower back was in constant pain for 4 months. I went to my primary doctor and had xrays done and they couldn't figure out why I was in pain. I was thinking it was related to my rheumatoid arthritis, but when I went in to see my rheumatologist he assured me it was not related. He then recommended me to Airrosti, which I had never heard of. I saw Dr. Jonas, he explained what Airrosti is all about and put together a plan to get my back better. It only took two treatments for the pain to go away. Everyone was very helpful and friendly. I had a great experience and have already started referring friends over!
by Brittney Odell
I recently had two back surgeries. I chose to go to Airrosti and see Dr. Vaughn for rehab. He and his staff (Ashley) showed a genuine interest in my recovery and return me to a pain free status. I never felt rushed in and out like you do in so many medical facilities these days. After 3 visits I am happy to say I am pain free. They also set me up on a plan to keep me that way. Great job Dr. Vaughn and Ashley. I would gladly refer anyone to see them.
by Brad Goudie
I am a thorough believer in Airrosti. I found Dr. Kulcak after I injured my back. She quickly helped me with my back pain. I have also used her for: IT band, bicep and wrist pain (Apparently, I am one of those who takes awhile to learn using proper form while doing Crossfit). Dr. Kulcak is always professional, quick to pinpoint my pain and what caused it to happen. Most of all, I don't have to go back for the same injury for more than a couple of times. Dr. Kulcak and Airrosti are the best!
by Tamera Roberts
First and foremost Airrosti is an organization that has a great culture and ethos, getting you back in action through functional active therapy. I have been battling back pain for years that comes and goes. I was going to normal physical therapy and not getting the results I anticipated I would. I was able to see Dr. Pappas and within the sessions, I could tell a difference. While this is something that I will have to maintain the rest of my life, I have been given the tools and confidence that it is manageable. Dr. Pappas, thank you for your professionalism and work ethic. Thank you, Dr. Pappas and Airrosti for your support of our military members, old and new. It is a true testament to this company!

I visited Dr. Vick from Airrosti with two separate issues. First one is upper back pain where I could feel the pain but was not able to pinpoint the exact location of pain. Dr. Vick diagnosed the injury and quickly identified the root cause. She was very friendly, attentive to the patient, and is really an expert in her field. She was able to completely cure the pain in 2 visits. She followed up with me after each visit to make sure I am progressing well with my recovery. The stretches I learned are very useful to target the muscle group and relieve pain. The second issue is cubital tunnel syndrome where my hand goes numb frequently. Dr. Vick diagnosed and confirmed it's the Ulnar nerve compression that's causing the numbness. She was ve...+ show morery clear with what to expect from the treatment. She clearly told me that she can most likely solve the issue but in case there's no improvement after the first two days of treatment, she will refer to a neurophysician for further treatment. But she was able to pinpoint the exact location where the nerve was trapped and treated the pain area. The numbness is 90% gone after 3 visits. I am more than thrilled to see the progress in such a short time, especially for something that has been bothering me for a long time. Not only treating the pain, I feel that Dr. Vick gave me the education and tools to take care of these issues if they come back again in future. And all this was achieved with no medicines whatsoever. Dr. Vick is really the best, and I am very thankful to her!! Regards, Sudheer Indala

When I first visited Dr. Vick, I was hesitant to try Airrosti, but I was on FMLA and had exhausted all options for recuperating my back. In total, I was off of work for 4.5 months with back pain. During the first visit, Dr. Vick released muscles in my hips around my SI joints. Though my SI nerves were ablated, the pain did not reflect any procedure had taken place until Dr. Vick loosened the area. It took 7-8 visits for Dr. Vick to perform treatments on my entire body. She brought me tremendous relief and restored my quality of life! I’m back at work finally, and my back is doing well. I’m extremely grateful for Dr. Vick’s insightful and compassionate care.

"I have struggled with significant back pain since 2013 and have been diagnosed with Ehlers-Danlos. I did get some relief in 2014 from injections and Mckenzie Method Therapy. In June of this year, I fell down my stairs and have had a flare up of symptoms that the Mckenzie exercises could not control. I had been doing water physical therapy for the past 3 months with relief for a few hours but the symptoms would come back. One Friday after water therapy both of the bottoms of my feet began to burn like I was walking on blisters and my tailbone felt like something was stabbing it. I wasn't able to work for 4 days. On the 4th day, I was able to get an appointment with Dr. Tijerina. My boss had mentioned Airrosti months before and I was desp...+ show moreerate for relief. After my first appointment, I experienced relief instantly. The most important thing that Dr. Tijerina has done for me gives me my thinking back. I don't think about the pain constantly and how the activity will affect me and life. I'm not physically, mentally, and emotionally exhausted from work or the smallest activity. Yes, I would leave work and cry all the way home in pain and my commute is an hour of sitting while it felt like something was stabbing my tailbone. Just 2 weeks ago I would reserve my energy and body for work by not doing anything but work. because anything outside work would cause me to have so much pain I would miss work or be miserable at work. The biggest thing for me was this past Wednesday after the Astros had won the World Series in Baseball (Go Astros!!) I didn't think twice about running out of the house, getting in my car and running up to the sporting goods store to get my World Series T-shirts. In fact, I stood in line for over 3 hours with 15 shirts in my arms without thinking about pain. It wasn't until about the 3rd hour that I noticed all these people sitting on the tables in a line, rubbing their backs, leaning on shopping carts, and stretching. I couldn't believe I felt no pain. I felt an ache in my lower back but it was a fatigue, not pain. And two days later at work, I bent down to pick something up off the floor and one of my coworkers said she was so proud of me. She said, "you picked that up like a pro." It was so bad before that I would have to kick something over to someone to pick it up for me or just leave it until someone came by to help me. In less than 2 weeks my life has changed significantly. I am so glad I found Airrosti and Dr. Tijerina. Two weeks ago I feared I wouldn't be able to work and I would be on short-term disability again like I was in 2014. I'm back to work with a better attitude and so much more energy."

I went to Airrosti for back, shoulder, and neck pain that I had ignored and not treated for more than ten years (since I was in high school!). It came to a point where I couldn't wait any longer and needed to get some treatment; my pain was increasing and difficult to bear. Dr. Hernandez took such good care of me, and I feel so much better! My recovery took longer than the typical patient because I had waited too long to address the issue. Dr. Hernandez was patient, consistent, communicated clearly, and always asked about how I was doing and took a genuine interest in my life. I love Airrosti because they empowered me with the tools I need to address the same back/shoulder/neck issues, should they come up again. They were so very helpful...+ show more and easy to work with. I even had to go out of town twice while I was seeing them, and they made sure I had what I needed to be able to continue my exercises while away. I would recommend them to anyone!

At the ripe old age of 59, I acted crazy and did a whole lot of tree trimming. As it turned out, I strained my left side something fierce. I was in pretty bad shape just walking into Dr. Gemma Sinclair's office. I couldn't even lean to one side; it even hurt just to breathe. I had used Dr. Sinclair previously for an unrelated injury, and she worked wonders for me! It seemed worth it to place myself in her care, once again. She came through, in just 2 visits, and gave me new exercises to work on at home. I remain so very thankful and grateful for all that she is, and all that she does. And, yes, she truly cares about you!!

I have been in pain for 4 years and saw 3 chiropractors, pain specialist and an arthritis specialist to no avail. I met Dr Culver and after 3 sessions on my upper back I felt amazing. He moved to my lower back and siatic problem and I am pain free. I feel like a new person. Went to a wedding and was able to dance at the reception. That would not have happened without Dr Culver. He is an amazing Dr in his field and has the magic touch. I wish I had found him 4 years ago. He has changed my life and I am so grateful for him. I'm telling everyone I know about him and referring everyone in pain to him. Thanks for giving my life back to me Dr Culver.

After suffering from back lower back pain for 20 years, 3 MRI’s, 1 CT scan, multiple visits to neurosurgeons, chiropractors, and an acupuncturists , to the point where you find yourself researching the “log rolling” technique on the internet to get out of bed. Thank you Dr Jestel and Cody Marks, I’m able to pick up my kids and do the things I love again.

I came to Airrosti because of how uncomfortable I felt on a daily basis due to a constant pain in my neck and back. No matter what I did: sit, stand, lay down, etc., I was in a constant state of discomfort. I had trouble getting to sleep every night and it would affect how I felt the next day. Dr. Peregrine and Ryan Brown at the Airrosti offices in Waco helped me turn all of that around. They were able to educate me on what I was doing that was causing the problem, and how to take preventative measures going forward. The best part was how involved I got to be in my own recovery process. After Dr. Peregrine worked on me, Ryan laid out a plan or "homework assignments" I could execute at home that would help in my recovery. This education i...+ show moretself is worth the visit. I still do the exercises at home to prevent flare ups and improve how I feel. My day-to-day mood has improved tremendously. I go to sleep now with no pain and wake up feeling great everyday. I would recommend Airrosti to anyone dealing with pain. The best part about the staff is they care. If your problem can't be resolved at their office, they'll comp your visit and tell you where to go. You can tell they're goal is to get you in and out in the least amount of visits as possible and to keep you out so that you don't have to spend more money than you have to on your recovery. The priority is YOU. If for some reason I deal with physical issues down the road, I know where to turn for help. Airrosti helped fix my pain FAST!

Eleven years ago, I made a major career change and went to work for one of the greatest companies in the world, Southwest Airlines. I feel the AIRROSTI's and Southwest Airlines have saved me from a life in a wheelchair. This may sound like a bold statement, but once you hear my story, I believe you will agree and understand. At the early age of 28, I was diagnosed with Accelerated Degenerative Disc Disease (ADDD). I had just graduated from college with a Bachelor's of Science in Electronic Engineering from New Mexico State University (NMSU). While attending NMSU, and working through college, I found I had a natural knack and a 'LUV' for computers. As you might imagine, this was a startling and terrifying diagnosis at the beginning of a b...+ show moreright career. At this time, I had 3 consecutive discs in my neck and shoulders that were nearly completely degenerated and the discs above and below were partially degenerated. Due to the consecutive nature, every consult I had with a doctor or surgeon basically informed me there was little they could do in the way of repair. This was attributed to the fact that they needed/required support above and below any possible fusions in the spine. At this time they were limited to fusing three consecutive vertebrae. On two separate occasions, I actually had a Neuron Surgeon and an Orthopedic Surgeon inform me that they didnt feel I would be walking by the age of 45, with my current degenerative progressive state. I was confident and strong coming out of college and didnt plan to let this stop me. But nearly twenty years later, after tiresome 60 hour work weeks and too much business travel, the impacts on my body were devastating. To make things worse, due to all this work and travel, I had become overweight and out of shape. Of course, by then, I had made it past the age these doctors felt I would still be walking, but at this rate it was appearing that it wouldnt be long. At 49, my Wife and I had been blessed with our second Son. I decided to make a major life change and do something about my situation. I had beaten the doctors first diagnosis, but my back was in the worst shape it had ever been in. I knew I needed a more stable life style and I needed to lose weight fast. I took an opportunity of a lifetime with Southwest Airlines. I continued to work long hours, but this work was the most enjoyable and relaxing of my entire career. It was very gratifying to work for and with great people. We lived only 8 miles from the office, so I began bicycling to and from work. Within three years I went from 240lbs to 200lbs. This was a vast improvement, but my back was far from better. I never liked or entertained prescription medication as a solution, as all options in this arena never worked for long term care and had too many side effects. I suffered another two years, aided by Acupuncture and Chiropractic care. From my previous experiences seeking relief from my back pain, I knew Deep Tissue Myofascial massage was helpful, but not long lasting. I knew there had to be something similar that had a more lasting effect. While watching the 2010 Winter Olympics, I observed some of the athletes utilizing Kinesiology Tape with the AIRROSTI logo. After a quick web search, I felt I found the long lasting solution to Myofascial massage. To my amazement, I found we had an AIRROSTI clinic very near the office. As a matter of fact, this very office was on my bike ride to work. In January 2011, I scheduled my first appointment with an AIRROSTI. This would turn out to be life changing. Where I was once missing work continuously and constantly in pain, I was finally getting some relief and actually feeling better. Last year, with the aid of my AIRROSTI, I had perfect attendance at work. I'm half way through the year, I have perfect attendance and I haven't even needed to go to my AIRROSTI. It's always good to know if I start having issues, they are there for me. I now weigh a healthy 185lbs. I practice Yoga three times a week and run two miles twice a week. I believe I'm in the best physical condition I've been in my entire life. That says a lot, as I ran a gym in College for 3 years and worked out constantly. My back is doing very well and I attribute this to the great work life at Southwest Airlines and the wonderful care I've had from the AIRROSTI's.

I visited the office of Dr. Barnes to manage pain and swelling due to a herniated disc in my low back that I've had since 1990. Prior to seeing Dr. Barnes, management of this injury included a muscle relaxer coupled with a high dose anti inflammatory when needed. Dr. Barnes and his team taught me that frequently, back pain is not necessarily due to the back itself, but the surrounding tissue in the hip, leg and abdominal areas. During my visits, Dr. Barnes conducted a thorough medical history, and put me through a series of physical therapy exercises in his office which included utilizing a foam roller and small racquet-type ball to build my core stability. I am happy to say that after several months of doing these exercises at home, I'v...+ show moree not had to take medications and I'm pain free, getting out of bed in the morning is no longer a challenge. What I appreciate about the approach Dr. Barnes and his team take is that they want you on the road to rehabilitation in just 5 visits. Dr. Barnes and his team gave me the knowledge and tools I needed to remain pain free without frequent trips to the office. Thank you Dr. Barnes and Team, I highly recommend Arrosti Rehab Center.

I am a very active member of the CrossFit community; working out 5 days a week. Even though the coaches are fabulous and focus on form, I definitely put strain on my body from time to time. I met Dr. Clark through our gym at a mobility clinic he taught. Since then there are two times that I hurt my back pretty bad and needed assistance in my recovery. Dr. Clark was the perfect remedy, he helped work through my muscles, his team taught me how to stretch/recover at home. They were a huge reason I was healed so quickly and I have been able to use what they taught me to avoid any other serious injuries. Airrosti is a great option in rapid recovery!
by Bre Madden
I've been to Airrosti on two occassions for severe neck/back pain. My sister originally referred me after she experienced a crossfit injury. I am incredibly grateful for this place as I was highly uncomfortable seeing a chiropractor who I didn't have any referral for, but Airrosti's education and techniques really made me feel better and well equipped to help myself at home. My husband is a Southwest Airlines Employee and through his benefits I was able to receive treatment. I would highly recommend. thank you!
by Laura Johnson
Dr. Creel just finished treating me for a back injury and I cannot say enough good about my experience. I don't ever WANT to get hurt, but having started working out after 40 and not always remembering to use correct form, it happens sometimes. Dr. Creel and Becca have been such an encouragement as I've worked through this injury and given me the tools I need to not just heal, but prevent it from happening again. I appreciate so much Dr. Creel's dedication to keeping me active as much as possible throughout the past week or so, and for the guidance in what to do over these next few weeks to ensure that I stay healthy and strong!

I was very impressed with the whole procedure, Dr. Jones has excellent bed side manners. At first I was hesitant to go see him but now I am great full that I followed through the whole treatment.

I hurt my back so badly lifting furniture that it hurt to breathe much less put on my shoes and socks. After receiving excellent treatment from Dr. Medlock I can not only breathe but I look forward to a summer of activity including biking tennis and golf. Dr Medlock also provided me with an exercise schedule that will make the effected muscle group stronger to avoid future injury. I could not recommend Dr. Medlock any more strongly.

I was having chronic back pain for 4 years, starting when I had my son. I had weekly back massages for almost a year, which only provided temporary relief. Airrosti moved into the same location as my general physician, which happens to be right downstairs from where I work. Dr. Bankson and Alyssa, ATC, came up to share with the office what they do and how they help patients WITHOUT surgery. I had only 4 appointments before I was discharged because of the successful rehab. They even sent me a handwritten card in the mail to thank me for coming in and starting the work! I feel better than ever and will continue to use the custom exercises they gave me, which I can do at home and at work! I highly recommend Airrosti to anyone who talks abou...+ show moret pain. I feel so much better! Also, Dr. Bankson and Alyssa are super nice and friendly. They work great together, and are very efficient. My appointments NEVER went beyond one hour! So considerate and to the point. I wish I would have known about Airrosti sooner!

Airrosti is awesome; they have helped me with my neck problems and lower back issues. Having a desk job caused my neck muscles to become very stiff and knotted, and sitting in chair all day caused lower back issues Airrosti has given me hope and exercises to strengthen my muscles. My issues have been resolved. Dr. Fabling and Adele are wonderful & caring people. I definitely recommend them highly. I truly appreciate, thank you.

I hurt my back and hip while lifting at work, on a Friday afternoon. I called Arrosti and they had me set up immediately with Dr. Culver on Monday. I could barely walk and was in extreme pain. Dr. Culver discussed my treatment options right away. He took the time to explain weekly goals and ways to improve strength training at home. He was courteous, professional and patient with my questions. Dr. Culver not only helped me with my back and hip, but also showed me ways to stay healthy and strong in the future. I can not thank Dr. Culver enough for all of his help and support. I would recommend Arrosti and Dr. Culver to anyone struggling with pain!

I had severe back pain and sciatica two months back. I have tried few doctors and chiropractors. Nothing worked out. Finally I heard about Airrosti and Dr. Wallace through my colleague. After I reached to Dr. Wallace, the rest is history and miracle. He is gem of a person and he cured my pain from severe to very little within 2 visits. In 5 visits, my pain is totally gone. I also appreciate the physio therapist Lauren. She is also very friendly and helpful. I would very strongly recommend Airrosti and Dr. Wallace to any one , who is suffering from muscle , spine or nerve related injury or pain. Thanks a bunch Dr. Wallace. My Honest Rating 10/10.

I use Dr. Sigler & he is AWESOME. He is so attentive to where & how bad your pain is & explains what his treatment will be. I have never met a Dr. that cares so much. I HIGHLY recommend him.

Had back pain that gravitated to the hip. Was walking 5-6 miles per day, but after onset of pain and numbness, could only walk 1/2 mile. Coach at St Thomas HS and have sent athletes to Airrosti with good results. Called and got appt....visited with Andrew and Kenneth. After first visit, was able to walk out of facility with no pain and was able to walk 1 to 2 miles. Relief lasted about 3-4 days. Returned and got additional treatments and followed the exercise programs. Intense pain subsided, but could not get to go away completely. Started to develop prolonged numbness in leg and had appointments with Orthopedic specialist. Went thru battery of X-rays....MRI...pills....and nothing helped except the program provided by Airrosti. Yet as we...+ show morell as it worked, pain kept returning. A spine specialist found cyst on spinal column....will have to have surgery. If that does not stop pain....will definitely return to Airrosti.

After being in pain for at least a year due to carrying heavy bags and the way I sleep, I finally decided to seek professional help so that I could try to get relief without medication. Dr. Casey was the onsite Airrosti doctor at my place of employment. The difference the first session made was enough to make me complete the recommended 4-6 weeks. After approximately 6 sessions I had full range of motion with only slight discomfort. I was given the tools to continue on working and I have maintained full range of motion and can pick things up pain free. I highly recommend Dr Casey and Airrosti. Her program saved me money and time as well.

For the past 5 years, I have been struggling severely with chronic back pain. I have tried years of going to the Chiropractor, Physical Therapy, Massage Therapy, Tens Therapy, etc. and I was just about at the end of my rope when my doctor recommended Airrosti. I seriously doubted that there would actually be something out there that could help. After the first visit, I was shocked that I not only had little pain, but that days after my appointment, the pain still hadn't returned. The providers at Airrosti genuinely care about your recovery and actually TEACH you how to strengthen your muscles and honestly help you recover. They deserve a lot more credit than just a review, that's for sure.

I've had chronic back pain for years. After starting CrossFit it only got worse. Pulling bars from the floor or anything involving heavy weight led to constant tweaks and being out of commission for weeks at a time. Working together with Dr. Kempe and my CrossFit coaches, we went back to the drawing board and came up with a strategy. Starting with limited workouts and careful scaling, paired with consistent therapy at the office, it was only a matter of months before I was back on track. Now I am more confident than ever, attending 5 CrossFit workouts per week with no limitations. I couldn't be happier with my accomplishments working with Airrosti and I'd recommend them to anyone experiencing back issues. Thanks!

I initially came to Dr Wallace with a chronic back pain that flared up every time I did many types of intense exercise. As a personal trainer, that is very detrimental to my work. After 3 session, my back pain was diagnosed, treated, and I had a treatment plan in place to keep my spine healthy using basic active recovery tools and exercises. I have since, gone in for issues with my glutes and forearm, of which both are treated and I am now able to train without restriction. Dr Wallace uses straightforward, scientifically studied and substantiated techniques to work problems with your active tissues. This is different than so many other chiropractors with whom I have worked. Normally they manipulate the passive tissues in a way that produ...+ show moreces very short lived relief, requiring you to return for adjustments indefinitely. Dr Wallace wants to fix your ailments in as few sessions as is feasible. I highly recommend if you have any consistent pain to call Dr Wallace immediately and schedule an appointment.

Dr Neil fixed my back problem within 3 visits. He taught me what to do to fix myself so I wouldn't have to go back.. I appreciate his advice and expertise.. I totally recommend Airrosti.

I had a sprained muscle in my lower back and my primary care doctor suggested that I make an appointment with Airrosti to help me repair the damage. I met with Dr. McCalister three times and my pain in my back is completely gone. This is significant because I had been in almost constant pain. At one point it got so bad that I thought it was a return of my kidney stones. In addition to alleviating my pain Dr . McCalister taught me a series of exercises to strengthen my back and increase the range of motion in my hips which had contributed to my sprained back. I would recommend him and this clinic for any PT needs you might have. this was a very positive experience for me.

I walked into Dr. Clement's office to see if he could help me with some pretty bad back pain that was making it hard for me to walk and even to sit. Firstly, Dr. Clements is very knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, it's very easy to tell just by sitting and talking with him. He was very easily able to identify the problem and proceeded to explain to me that it was my hip flexor that was bothering me. After my first visit, I already felt less pain, and I was way more knowledgable in what my injury actually was, and how to help it get better and keep it from happening again. Dr. Clements and his assistant (forgot her name, unfortunately) showed me some stretches and exercises I could do to strengthen my glutes, which in turn w...+ show moreould help prevent future similar injuries. At my second visit I felt way less pain, he checked me out and decided to work on me a little more, he told me I was looking better and to continue to do my stretches and exercises and I should be feeling better. Today, I feel back to normal and feel no pain. I want to thank Dr. Clements and the Airrosti team for helping me get back to normal!

I went to Airrosti and was lucky enough to get Dr. Blaire Bradley, DC, ACP. She was warm and kind, very proficient and very professional. She explained to me about Airrosti and what she might do to help diagnose and treat me. She did some tests on me and realized almost right away my injury was from my Psoas muscle group. She started to work on me and within 1/2 hour I was able to bend over and stand up straight. In my mind - I was shocked! This couldn't believe this was happening -- at least not that fast.
Over my next couple visits - she focused on the areas near my Psoas and lower back muscles. Now - mind you I am thinking this whole time this can't be right. How can I come here and get so easily fixed when I had already been se...+ show moreen by the 5 other medical professionals and not one of them even brought up these muscles. It took me 3 visits along with all the exercises Dr. Blaire Bradley, DC, ACP recommends and I was almost 95% back to normal.

It's been almost two weeks since my first visit, and I am able to walk completely pain-free. My back issues will take a much longer recovery time, but I am confident that the regimen they taught me and the lifestyle changes I've since made will get me to a pain-free place. My experience with Airrosti, Dr. Maxa, and Jamie was so great that I almost wish I had other issues for them to help me heal! Since meeting this team, I've told everyone that this was the best patient-care experience I've ever had. Aside from all I've already described, the entire office is the most organized, friendly, accessible, and responsive medical team I've ever encountered. Every invoice was emailed to me promptly; every appointment was well-documented in my pa...+ show moretient portal; every session started and ended on time; every email I sent to Dr. Maxa or Jamie was replied to on the same day; every meeting ended with a customer feedback loop; every encounter was a pleasure. Best medical team on the planet for sure!

I had to visit an Airrosti provider 4 different times,over the course of 2 years for lower back pain due to negligence on my part and improper lifting. I was back to normal in 3 - 4 visits. This saved me time, time off from work and money.

Not only did Airrosti address the upper back pain I was experiencing in just two visits, but they also taught me some exercises I could do on my own to deal with future chronic flare-ups.

My experience with Dr. Smith was amazing. He actually spent a full hour with me to diagnose my condition. I've been having back pain for years and just learned to live with it, but now that I have grandchildren I want to be able to play with them without being in pain. After only 3 visits, Dr. Smith completely improved my condition and I no longer feel the tightness in my back that I had felt every morning for the past 5 years. If you haven't tried Airrosti yet, you owe it to yourself to check it out.
