“Before coming to IPPMC I was in a chronic pain state. My pain was never better than a 7 level, even with medication. It affected my social life, my sex life, and work. I spent more time at home because of the pain. I was referred to IPPMC by my primary care doctor. I am feeling a whole lot better, feeling 80% better. I have nothing but good things to say about the clinic and personnel, the physical therapy team is also great. I would recommend IPPMC to my friends and family with pain.”
“I came to IPPMC six years ago while my wife was being treated. My wife suggested that I get treated. I had such bad left leg pain I did not know if I would be able to work anymore. I received treatment the same day I met Dr. K. The pain was gone within a day. I came back a week later for my back pain. On my second visit I got an additional treatment and my pain subsided. Within a week I was back to normal. I could not believe that I could get well that fast. I have been coming back intermittently since when I have a flare up of my pain. I am good to go for a few years and I have prevented surgery.”
“Three years ago in July I developed a horrific backache which was located in my thoracic region. I went to my doctor and she put me on gabapentin and a muscle relaxer and this did not help. My primary care sent me to one of her colleagues in her clinic. I was developing hypertension from my pain issues. They prescribed fentanyl to me in which I had an anaphylactic reaction. I was sent to the hospital by ambulance. A week later I was readmitted due to my pain as well as nausea and vomiting. I received a letter from these doctors stating I could not return to the clinic but never told me why. I was referred to IPPMC. I am now 100% pain free. I am no longer on pain medications. I just want to say that everybody is swell around IPPMC.”
“I had a heart transplant in 2005. One of my antirejection medicines has a side effect of migraines and headaches. I had a constant headache for approximately four years. I was being treated with Tylenol every four hours. I also had tremors from the medication. I was in the ER at least once a month. It was effecting my daily life and I missed a lot of work. Once I started my treatments at IPPMC I have went from 1-2 migraines a month to one every three months. My daily headaches are now gone. I have not taken Tylenol other than for other issues. Thank you IPPMC.”
“I’ve been dealing with chronic shoulder and neck pain which I have not had any long-term benefit from my treatments. I have been working with IPPMC physical therapy group who are doing a great job. I now have improved range of motion. Keep up the good work.”
“I would like to thank all the doctor’s assistants and nurses at IPPMC. They have helped me out the most of any different medical places I have been for my pain. They have done the best job explaining and treating my pain after a 19 year period. The best place I ever went for my pain management. I would suggest anybody come here and try it if you are dealing with pain. Thank you IPPMC.”
“Before coming to IPPMC I was dealing with crippling pain. I could not clean my house or go to work. I was basically disregarded when I went to see my physicians. They started giving me medications. This went on for 12 years and I became physically dependent on the medications and my pain was not much better. I was referred by a friend to IPPMC. Dr. Kowalkowski sat down and actually listened to me. So many doctors do not listen and disregarded me. I started my treatments immediately on my first visit. I cannot believe the change in a short period of time. I am so excited to get back to me. I have reduced my amount of medications and the treatments have been working. Thank you IPPMC.”
“IPPMC is a great place to go for care. Dr. K is a very good doctor and I recommend patients with sports injuries or pain to consider seeing Dr. K and the great staff at IPPMC. They have helped me out a great deal. The people at IPPMC have been very nice and are always there to answer my questions and help me through all their different departments. Thank you.”
“I’ve been dealing with pain for 14 years. The pain was intolerable to the point where I became inactive, I gained weight and my pain increased, it effected my mood, my behavior and my social life. Once making a decision to do something about it I did my research and found Dr. K and IPPMC. After speaking with my primary, I received a referral and met the team at IPPMC. In this journey to recover with my pain taking years, I have not felt this good in 14 years. I am 38 going back to 16. Living without pain has freed my mind to do other things and pursue my interest. Thank you IPPMC.”
“Previous to coming to IPPMC I was seen by multiple doctors for my back pain in which they did not address my issues. My PCP suggested IPPMC. After my first visit I was treated and I felt really good. After a few modifications to my treatment I am 99% improved and we are still working on the last 1%. The staff has been nice and accommodating. I have recommended IPPMC to people I know with pain.”
