Dr. Giacalone has helped me stay strong and healthy...

“I have been a patient of Dr. Giacalone’s for approximately 5 years. He has always been there for me; many times at a moments notice. I face many challenges in raising a special needs son and some of those challenges are physical. Dr. Giacalone has helped me stay strong and healthy so I can be there for him. I strive to live an active, clean lifestyle and Dr. Giacalone has helped me tremendously with that.”

I had relief after just a few sessions...

“I came to Dr. Giacalone with the early stages of frozen shoulder. Because I’ve had this before, I knew what was ahead of me…a lot of pain, loss of sleep, limitations in physical activity. This time, I was determined to nip it in the bud! I was referred to Dr. Giacalone by another physician, who said that Active Release Technique (ART) might be helpful. It was! Dr. Giacalone worked compassionately, but with great determination to help release the shoulder. He gave me helpful tips for recovery and for keeping my shoulders strong and healthy. I had relief after just a few sessions, and after 2 months, my shoulder was almost completely better. For me, this was nothing short of a miracle, and I am grateful to Dr. Giacalone and his staff for their professionalism and friendliness and skill! I hope I won’t have to come back, but I sure won’t hesitate if another problem crops up!

I was a chiropractic skeptic...

“Long story short… in 2004, I injured my back immobilizing me for several days until I went to my physician getting pain medication and muscle-relaxors. Several years past but I continued to experience debilitating back pain 5-10 times a year with each episode lasting around 3 days. I sometimes did nothing but mostly returned to my physician for help, both worked only until the next flare-up. At the time, I was a chiropractic skeptic but my mother gave me Dr. Giacalone’s number; she said “he is the best.” I finally called David in 2008 and I am no longer on pain medications or muscle-relaxors…in fact; since I have been on maintenance adjustments I have not experienced any debilitating back pain. A miracle? NO! Chiropractic at its best? YES!

I swam today and it was effortless...

Dave, Foot feels much better after yesterday's ART....thanks for that. I swam today and wanted to tell you it was effortless; night and day compared to my swim yesterday morning...could not believe how bound up my shoulders were... and how loose they were after treatment...much faster too! Thanks again...see you in a week or so.

A Success Story...

It had been two and a half years with inconsistent and often annoying Iliotibial Band Syndrome. Physical therapy, massage, hundreds of dollars in running shoes, and the discomfort in my leg was not gone. What was I to do? One mid-summer I read an article in Runner's World that changed my "running life" forever. I decided to take the advice of elite runners, and yet again, tried something new. That something is ART, Active Release Techniques. I have run more now than I ever have before. Two sessions was all I needed to whisk away any pain, about eight in all before I was able to graduate from my weekly ART sessions. Thank you, Dr. Giacalone, for your expertise and care!

With sincere respect and appreciation,
