Testimonials
In 2005, I was
involved in a car accident and injured my neck and back. I still had
full mobility, but the soft tissue muscle knots and tightness left
me tired, irritable, and suffering from headaches most days. I had
seen another chiropractor for two years and had some relief, but only
for a few days at a time. I also did physical therapy for 6 months
and only had a slight relief. The injuries left me unable to do anything
I wanted for an extended period of time, including, standing, walking,
reading, etc. The Graston work that Dr. Z did greatly improved the
knots and tightness in my back and neck. It relieved my headaches
and I can workout, clean, read, and even wear high heels again. After
living with the pain for two years I was skeptical of anything being
able to help me live completely or even mostly pain free. I was hopeful
after meeting with Dr. Z and discussing how the Graston could help
me. I’m so pleased with my results. Now, I only come in when
I’ve strained my neck muscles during a workout routine, and
it’s cleared up and feeling better after one treatment. I think
if traditional chiropractic and physical therapy is only helping but
not completely healing your injury, you should expect more. Dr. Z
using the Graston technique, allowed me to be pain free, and I would
recommend it to anyone with a nagging muscle or joint injury.

I first went to see Dr. Z
for knee pain that had gradually increased after beginning strength
training some months before. The pain had increased to the point where
even small amounts of kneeling or squatting were becoming very difficult.
I was concerned I was going to have to stop my workouts completely.
In the past my doctor had referred me for physical therapy which helped
somewhat but never seemed to fully take care of the problem. I was worried
I was eventually going to need surgery to find the problem.
When I heard and read about
Dr. Z and the Graston technique, I was a little hesitant to try it.
I had always thought chiropractors only did adjustments and the Graston
instruments described on Dr. Z’s website sounded a bit strange.
However, Dr. Z came highly recommended and I wanted to avoid one more
trip to physical therapy or worse.
I’ve been very happy
with the results of working with Dr. Z and the Graston technique.
I’ve had a dramatic improvement in my knee pain. After the first
3 or 4 sessions with Graston treatments, I noticed I had less pain
when kneeling and squatting. After several more treatments, my knee
pain was completely gone. Dr.
Z also used the Graston technique to help me with my neck and shoulder
muscle tightness and pain, a problem I have when I’m under a
lot of stress. I had tried many things including deep tissue massage
and acupuncture with no lasting results.
I would definitely recommend
Dr. Z for any type of soft tissue or joint injury. Not only is he
very good at diagnosing and treating injuries, but he was able to
suggest changes in my strength training technique to prevent soft
tissue injuries in the first place.

I have had chronic lower
back pain for many years. I have seen many physical therapists, chiropractors,
and other experts. However, nothing seemed to help or should I say
provided a solution to the problem instead they only provided a temporary
fix. In January 2008, I experienced severe mid-back pain, which I
had never had in my life. It was severe enough that I couldn't work
for a few hours at a time. I went for massage and physical therapy,
but it didn't help. So, I started looking on the internet for chiropractors
who not only do temporary fixing but provide a long term solution
i.e. correct the root cause of the issue. Fortunately, I came across
www.zspineandjoint.com and read about Dr. Z and the Graston technique.
I watched the demo video and the procedure looked interesting to me.
So, I called and got the first appointment.
I am very proud to say
that my first appointment day was very pleasant compared to working
with various other doctors. Finally, I found a doctor who cares about
his patient and doesn’t treat them like a customer to make money.
Dr. Z spent one and a half hour with me, helping me understand the
root cause, and putting together a plan to help me improve. He used
the Graston technique, which in the beginning made my entire back
sore and red, however, within a short period of time it improved the
pain and I started feeling better. He also gave me exercise to do
at home. Dr. Z was excellent in email communication and very approachable.
In one incident, I had to call him because I twisted my arm, and he
made time for me and treated me on the same day. He not only focused
on my back problem but also treated the rest of the problems I had,
like shin splints, joint wrist pain etc.
I would highly recommend
Dr. Z to any one who is looking for a good chiropractor, and a doctor
who really cares about his patients.
Thanks

I came to Dr. Z for severe
neck and upper back pain from the result of a bad massage experience
and old injury. I chose his office purely based on it's convenience
and was SO happy I found him. At the very first visit, Dr. Z used
the Graston Technique on my left neck/shoulder area and I felt almost
instant results. He sent me home with exercises and I saw daily improvement.
After only 6 visits, I am now feeling great and managing the exercises
on my own. I recommend Dr. Z to everyone!
