ProMed Pain Rehabilitation Institute

I came to Promed with debilitating pain. My neck, arm and shoulder were so sore that I was unable to function. About a year ago I had an MRI and learned that I had three degenerated discs in my cervical spine. I was offered three options, spinal surgery, spinal injection or Physical Therapy. Having several friends who had gone the surgery route and regretted it, surgery was not an option for me. I knew that spinal injection was a temporary solution at best and that steroids weakened the immune system (not a good thing during a world-wide pandemic). I spent the next several months getting PT three days a week. Although some of the procedures temporarily eased the pain, I knew I wasn’t getting better. In fact, over time I was getting worse. My pain level had reached a level 9 out of 10. I could barely drive, I couldn’t work in my woodshop or on my car and it was impossible for me to help out around the house. I was beside myself. I thought my life as I knew it was over. One day I heard an advertisement on the radio for Promed, a non-surgical alternative for neck and back pain. Having been in business and involved in marketing all of my working life, I was dubious. If this place had a viable treatment why wasn’t everyone taking advantage of it? While my cynicism had questions, my pain cried out, DO IT! DO IT! Since I couldn’t go on the way I was I started the therapy. It was up and down. Some weeks I felt better, some weeks I felt worse. On the bad weeks I questioned what the heck I was doing but I was resolved to see it through. Eventually I learned to trust both the process and the people at Promed. I was surprised by how involved the therapy was. Not only did I go on the specialized machinery but I also had multiple therapy disciplines administered. I was taught exercises tailored to help with my specific condition. By the time I completed the therapy I was at the very least 90% better than when I started. I was able to return to my life!! Before I started the therapy it was agonizing to even raise my arms. I just now installed blinds on several very tall windows and am still alive to tell about it. This past week I dismantled much of my car. Whether I will be able to reassemble it remains to be seen (but that has nothing to do with the therapy). I can’t say that you will have the exact same experience that I did. I can say that I am grateful and thrilled that I found Promed and that everything that I was told turned out to be true. I was also amazed that Dr. P could so accurately pinpoint how many treatments it would take to solve my problem. Thank you Promed!

I had constant pain in my neck and numbness in my hand. I went to a chiropractor multiple times, but the relief and mobility were temporary. I dreaded the thought of surgery because my father had gone that route, my brother had gone that route and again, it was temporary. My mom lived in constant neck pain and I seemed to have the same problem she had. I heard about ProMed on a radio commercial and I thought I'd give them a call. Best decision I ever made! I started ADR treatment after an MRI to see exactly what the issues were. After about a month of treatment I started to have much more mobility, less pain, less ibuprofen and an improvement in my mood. The process was slow, but well worth it. I am still pain free many months later. While I was coming to the end of my treatment my husband started having neck pain and tingling down his right arm. He went in for a consultation, but was already sold on the process because he saw the difference it made with me, WITH NO SURGERY!!!! He is also pain-free today. The process is just that, a process...it doesn't happen fast. If you stick to the proticol the doctor prescribes (stretching, icing, supplements, ADR, etc) it will change your life. You do not have to live with pain, live on ibuprofen, and most of the time you DO NOT have to let a surgeon cut into, only to repeat the process again in a few years. Take the time to build back your disks, don't let a surgeon cut them out! We continue to do our neck exercises and strengthening and continue to be pain free. Absolutely worth the money and time! Thank you Doc and all the ladies at ProMed.

If you have bulging discs in your back or neck this is the place to start treatment. if the doctor said go to physical therapy and get traction, get treatment this way instead. More effective more quickly and the comprehensive and systematic, treatment, physical exercise and supplementation along with very specific home instruction DO ACTUALLY HEAL YOUR DISCS. I came in with an atrophying left arm due to the nerve damage, unable to use it or to sleep without narcotics from the pain from my neck to my left hand fingers. Within a couple weeks I could use almost no pain killers and a couple after that no pain unless i overdid it. i even got back to riding my motorcycle 4 weeks later, (I didn't hurt myself on the bike!). 10 weeks later and I'm better than I was before my injury and I know how to stay that way.

Hi, my name is Anthony Roppolo I am in the construction industry and about a year ago I began to have major pain down my leg that did not go away I have been to two chiropractors which did nothing for my pain! I heard about ProMed and decided to see if they can help me My first interview with Dr. Papadopoulos went very well and he suggested that I get an MRI, the MRI came back with me having five compressed discs and 2 were bulging and pressing on my sciatic nerve. Dr. Papadopoulos recommended 36 treatments when I arrived at ProMed my pain level was at 7 to 8 of a possible 10, today after my treatments my pain level is down to one. I can't say enough about Dr. populous and his whole staff, everyone is committed to making sure you get well I am so happy and thankful for what ProMed has done fore me. If you are having any kind of back problems please call ProMed, you won't regret it!
