"I was recommended to Tracey after my second automobile accident.  I was suffering from a cracked sternum, lower back and still in pain after 7 months.  Kristen worked with me for several weeks, PT and exercises to do at home.  Tracey followed the same week with trigger point dry needling.  In just a few short visits, I was seeing great results with the combination from both Kristen and Tracey.  Now, five years later, I was told that I may need shoulder surgery.  Before I have that surgery, I am back with Tracey and Kristen.  They are working their "magic" again and my right shoulder is improving with each visit.  Trust is a big part of my recovery and I have that with both Kristen and Tracey.  The entire staff is encouraging and supportive.  A big High Five to all.  I will not go to anyone else...after all, they are the best of the best!"

"For over a decade I had low back pain and thought it was something I had to live with.  I have tried stretching, deep tissue massages, and different chairs.  Tracey and the OPT staff saw the pain was caused by tight muscles in both thighs.  After only a few needling session, the pain stopped and I've got greater flexibility and range of motion."

"Brooks has been a very professional physical therapist. Between his session and the exercises he gave me to do at home on a daily basis, they have helped my balance and restored my confidence in walking on cement, grass, and soil. Today, I learned how to navigate steps up and down and the position od the cane each instant. This has been a great experience!"

"I was in severe pain when I came to OPT. Never having experienced such pain, I thought at my age this would be what I could expect for the rest of my life. After several weeks of therapy, I can't believe the results. I feel like I did before I ever got this pain. I am happy and pleased with the results. Thanks to Dr. Steadman for giving me my life back."

"I have had chronic body pain from Fibromyalgia, migraines, arthritis and other medical issues for many years. I have tried regular medical and therapy treatments with no help at all. Then I was referred to Tracey Adler at ArthriMeds. After one treatment, it was amazing - the pain that left my body. With dry needling and physical therapy, after one month I feel like a different person and can function better. The pain has decreased dramatically. I've been given a new lease on life and can't thank Tracey enough."

"I got more TMJ relief from four treatments at OPT, Inc. than the cumulative treatments elsewhere of all previous years. The single most effective was the Trigger Point Dry Needling. The physical therapy was excellent too in increasing my knowledge and awareness of the problem."

"The staff, from the front desk to the therapist, were efficient, friendly and easy to work with. Brooks was just wonderful - he is gentle, kind and provided excellent care. I would recommend this business to anyone and especially to physicians who are caring for patients needing physical therapy."

"After spending several thousand dollars to diagnose stomach and lower left side pain. I was referred to Orthopedic Physical Therapy, Inc. by Dr. Louis Gelrud. The physical therapy and needle therapy have practically cured my pain. Thanks so much!!"

"For several years I have suffered from osteoarthritis and have been in constant pain. Finally, I was referred to Dr. Adler. Amazingly, after several treatments of dry needling by Dr. Adler, I am now able to lift my leg up to my head which I haven't been able to do for the last 10 years. I highly recommend Dr. Adler and her group's services."

"Best medical care I ever received. People are caring and compassionate in dealing with tough medical issues. Dry needling works very well on pelvic injuries and is the only relief I have had in four years. Six other doctors missed the diagnosis, but one visit to O.P.T. and this was discovered within minutes . Best decision I ever made. Best medical care I ever received and I have had nine major operations. If you are in pain, this is the place to receive the proper care with caring physical therapists and staff. You're not just another patient; you are a person who matters to them."
