“I came to IPPMC with upper back and neck pain. After two visits with Dr. Kowalkowski along with physical therapy and trigger point injections, I received 90% improvement from my symptoms. I was able to increase from part time to full time work. The staff has been exceptional.”
“I have been dealing with groin and back pain since undergoing a hernia repair in 2005, which has been treated by multiple physicians, including pain specialist who wanted to place a spinal cord stimulator in me. Because of my pain I was unable to work, walk, or attend my children’s activities. I became depressed. After being seen two times with Thomas Kowalkowski, DO, FIPP, at IPPMC, I am 85% improved, I have returned to my work, and I am easy to live with. IPPMC, ” You guys are great. I would recommend you guys to anybody and everybody.” The staff is courteous, caring, and understanding. I am very satisfied.”
“When I first came to IPPMC, I could hardly drive. I couldn’t do anything over my head, including overhead work. Due to a torn rotator cuff, which resulted in three surgeries. Since receiving injections, I am able to now put in a light bulb and I am able to drive a car without being in pain.”
“I’m a 35-year-old male who has severe lower back pain and severe peripheral neuropathy. It was hard for me to walk, stand or sit due to the nerve pain. I have tried multiple treatments before coming to IPPMC. My experience at IPPMC has been wonderful. I had a spinal cord stimulator placed for my back and leg pain. It has reduced my pain by at least 80%. I would recommend IPPMC to anyone.”
“I have had severe lower back pain since I was in my 30s. I am not 58 and I was referred by my medical doctor to be treated by Dr. K at IPPMC. After my first visit I had a year of pain relief. Due to my busy job I was not exercising and reaggravated my back and once again returned to be treated by Dr. K. I was once again treated and I can say within eight hours once again my pain was gone. I felt great and woke up in the morning pain free. I would recommended Dr. K to anybody, he is very professional, he is a nice guy.”
“I was in a lot of pain, my activities were to a point where I was not able to take a bath or do hardly anything including housework. After I had my permanent stimulator placed I was 100% improved. I am able to walk, take care of myself, clean my house and even went camping since the permanent placement. IPPMC was great in my preparation and placement of my stimulator.”
I feel great. Sticking to these treatments has done wonders for me. I know I have been tedious at times to deal with, but its been a long 5yrs since the first spinal fusion surgery, and I have reached a comfort zone. The will to have kicked the pills has paid of. They ruined a facet of my life I will never get back. My friend Steve Johnson is headaches free for the first time in 10yrs.
The word of mouth advertiseing we are doing , we hope helps more Vets !!
“I came to IPPMC at my wit’s end looking for pain management. My life had been disrupted due to pain medications and pills. I lost my marriage, my friends and I became isolated. I got to a point where I had not left my house for three months. My landlord was concerned with my wellbeing. I was sent to a different pain clinic initially and I was not treated right. I was apprehensive but presented to IPPMC. Since my first visit I felt that they listened to my needs and we had a healthy patient/client relationship. I have been improving ever since. I am more active and my old demeanor is back. I am at a point where I want to be a patient advocate and help others. This is the honest to God truth.”
“Where else can you go to get your back looked at, be put in a room right away and be understood by great medical staff and doctor, get treatment and therapy all in one day. I will recommend anyone to come here to get treated!”
“I’ve been dealing with pain for 14 years. The pain was intolerable to the point where I became inactive, I gained weight and my pain increased, it effected my mood, my behavior and my social life. Once making a decision to do something about it I did my research and found Dr. K and IPPMC. After speaking with my primary, I received a referral and met the team at IPPMC. In this journey to recover with my pain taking years, I have not felt this good in 14 years. I am 38 going back to 16. Living without pain has freed my mind to do other things and pursue my interest. Thank you IPPMC.”
