ABC PT Patient Testimonials

This has been the most wonderful help I have had since the accident. Absolutely nothing else worked until now.  I have told friends and family about the miracle’s done at ABC. Thank you so much!
Rick Carr

"I was experiencing terrible pain in my sciatic area on the left side. I went to an osteopath to find out what was wrong but after several months of prescription pain killers, and an MRI, the doctor was no closer to finding out what was wrong. In fact, he was trying to tell me that there was nothing wrong and he mentioned that he thought I was making it up. I finally sought help from a different doctor in physical medicine. He knew right away what was wrong and referred me to ABC PT for physical therapy.

I cannot tell you what a miracle it is to be free of pain like that. It interfered with every activity of daily life. It is a slow process but TOTALLY worth it. Plus there are added benefits to this kind of therapy. It actually fixes the problem/doesn’t just cover it up. You heal better with less drugs, you sleep without pain, and after working out all the knots, I was a ½" taller than I was before. Thank you ABC PT, I am on the road to recovery"

"This is an approach that works. The techniques that Chris uses make sense. He uses solid biomechanical logic to effectively treat low back pain. His interventions have enabled me to return to vigorous martial arts workouts and to my job with significantly less pain. He provides the education that allows you to truly understand and manage back pain while pursuing an active lifestyle."
Ms. Katherine Thurman, PT

"A big hello! Only a little note to think you again for the way that you have helped me. In a very short time, my physical being has improved way beyond what I expected. Your patience, kindness, and chiefly, your sense of humor lessened the sadness that was in my heart when Dr. Siler recommended your clinic to me. Thank you a million 10x3 times. I’ll always value the excellent care you gave me. Affectionately, of course…"

"On May 17, 1995, I was in a car accident that ruined my life. I was in terrible pain. I went to many doctors, had many tests done, and spent one and a half [years] in physical therapy. I couldn’t even walk a block or go grocery shopping without dire pain. I had to quit bowling and dancing. I felt frustrated and at times got very depressed. To me it was hopeless.

Now, after eight years of all of this, I was referred to Chris Ford, a low back specialist. I have to admit, I was skeptical at first. After 10 months with him, I can walk about a mile and I do grocery shopping without chronic pain. I don’t walk with a cane anymore. I have also learned a lot about how I can also help myself with my lower back, and my leg is so much stronger. It has been a long haul, but my attitude overall has been so much better. I now feel I can at least do more, and am hoping for a full recover."

"I have tried a variety of treatment for my lower back, and nothing had a real impact on my condition. My back was sore most of the time, and when I got out of bed, or drove my car for a long time, I could barely stand up. I was basically handicapped, and couldn’t function without great difficulty and near constant pain. After one visit with Chris Ford, my condition improved about 90%. It was really miraculous. I was literally better overnight. I have continued to follow Chris’ advice, worn the SI belt, and done the stretches I was supposed to do and have continued to see improvement. His is by far the best lower back treatment I’ve ever run across. I would, and already have, recommended it to anyone experiencing lower back problems."

"I had a car wreck June/2003. From this accident I got a lateral whiplash and the safety belt across my trunk tightening at my shoulders caused upper body pain, rib pain, and rotator cuff injury. By going to ABC PT, learning some very easy exercises to work the stiffness out of my neck and shoulder area. A little ultra sound to help with the pain and in just a couple of months the pain and stiffness was finally worked out of my shoulder and upper back area. Very qualified therapists really make recovery a definite goal in the healing cycle. Chris Ford is very knowledgeable and qualified MPT.
