Success Stories

At all of our clinics, we keep an ongoing “Success Book” with pictures and stories written by former patients who agreed to be included in the book.

These are patients who worked hard and showed great dedication to the program, and made excellent progress toward achieving their personal goals as a result. We proudly display this book in all of our lobbies for patients to view, especially those who need a little inspiration…

“When I first started at PDR, I couldn’t bend over without hanging onto something to help me up. I didn’t think the [MedX] machines would help me, I thought for sure I would need surgery…At PDR, I learned a lot about how to stretch…I did the MedX machine for my low back. Along with that was the ball and weights. It started out slowly, but I realized that it was all helping…I have come a long way with the therapy and realize that my back plays a very important role in my everyday life with work and family. I couldn’t have done this without the help and guidance of all the gals here. They are all very knowledgeable and helpful, and very friendly. It is a great program and it works! Thank you PDR.”

“Thanks to PDR, I am pain-free most of the time. If that isn’t great, I don’t know what is! For about a week prior to writing this, I had some kind of “relapse” of pain, but I kept doing the various exercises and the pain is gone again…I am determined to keep doing what I’ve learned through PDR because I want to avoid the pain and lack of stamina that previously dominated my life…Thanks to all of the therapists and Dr. Apte for helping me feel good again.”

“My back and neck have never felt so good, AND I lost almost 25 pounds on the program! The staff are all so great!!”

Dennis C.

“This program has given me my life back. From an entry point where I could barely walk and had constant pain, I progressed steadily. At the end of the program I am now able to return to running on a regular basis and I am pain-free. The staff was friendly while continuing to motivate me toward my goals.”

Bill P.

“I would like to commend the PDR staff for their expertise, as well as care and concern for my personal well-being. My neck pain was fairly constant when I started at PDR. After 12 weeks of treatment, it is minimal; a tremendous change. It’s true – stretching and especially icing are my good friends! Thanks to all of the PDR staff for such exceptional service, and for sharing their knowledge to help me get through the pain.”

Aretina H.

“Before I came to PDR, I suffered with chronic back pain. It hurt to hold my children for any extended period of time. Now, I hold by children without pain!! We dance around the house and we go for long stroller rides. I cannot thank everyone enough at PDR for all of their help. Life without back pain is WONDERFUL. The PDR team is great! Thanks!”

Emily D.

“I am glad I came to PDR for my headaches. They are gone! I needed to be shown how to release tension and stress…which with your help really helped me a lot. You’re all great and thank you again. I really enjoy getting the newsletter. Keep it coming.”

Jerri F.

“Thank you PDR. I am once again a safe driver now that I can turn my head and check for traffic. I also feel so much younger and more fit.”

Judy A.

“Your program really helped me to get through my chemotherapy, and to get back onto my feet. PDR gave me my life back...I was able to go back to work after completing my rehabilitation program, and spend time with my grandchildren again!”
