Cesar A.
I’ve struggled with knee pain since 2017 from my time in the Marine Corps as a rifleman. Years of intense physical and tactical training in tough terrain, plus falls and constant impact, left my knees in bad shape. I’d often feel sharp, piercing pain right under my kneecaps, even when I was resting. It reached the point where everyday activities, like sitting or driving, could trigger, throbbing, swelling, and chronic pain. I thought I’d have to live with it, even though I’m only 27. I couldn’t run outside or play a simple game of soccer without paying for it with pain the next day.
After coming in and meeting Dr. Jon, he laid out a treatment plan that truly addressed the gravity of my injuries. He explained that it would be a process, but one worth doing right. I’ve been receiving a series of treatments—stim, ultrasound, cupping, leg stretches, hot/cold packs, and, notably, acupuncture. I’ve had over 15 sessions, going twice a week, and although I do still feel pain at times, I can confidently say my knees have been improving. The pain has decreased significantly to the point where I can go a couple days without noticing it. I've completed a series of physical therapies in the past but I felt no significant change. Now, I can drive an hour in the car and not feel constant discomfort. I can sit down in my office and not have to stretch or extend my legs every 30 min. I can walk a couple blocks on concrete without paying the price the next day.
While I’m still easing back into things, I’ve started slow light jogs again, and Dr. Jon is keeping a close watch on how my knees respond. He encourages taking it slow but is open to seeing how I handle more activity. I couldn’t be happier with my results so far. I know it’s a journey back to 100%, but this team has done more than I could have hoped to get me back on track. Thank you all—I'm finally enjoying my days again, without pain.
