High School Athlete Injury

“My son began feeling back pain during a baseball game. He rested it a couple days and didn't get any better. We decided to take him to our family chiropractor who told my son to stretch and ice it and it would be fine in a couple days. He also wanted him to come in for an adjustment every other day. After a week it was not fine and even getting worse. A friend recommended I get in touch with Mickey Masucci. We were able to make an appointment right away. The examination with Mickey has basically transformed my idea of what proper healthcare should look like. He did a thorough exam of my son and worked to determine where the pain was, what caused it, and how to make it better. He also took the time to draw an illustration to show us what was going on.

The advice to stretch was basically the opposite of what he should have been doing. Mickey gave my son a series of exercises to begin the proper healing process. My son began to feel improvement the next day! Within a week he was pain-free and had full range of motion and playing baseball again. Within 3 weeks he felt back to full strength and even felt stronger than before the injury.

Mickey continued to follow up to make sure my son was seeing improvement and added more advanced exercises to continue to build strength in the necessary muscles to prevent future injury.

If you have an injury and the person treating it isn't taking the time to identify why and how you were injured in the first place, you need to find a new professional to help you get better. I highly recommend contacting Mickey Masucci. He will take the time to help you understand your injury and lead you on the path to recovery. He is always on time and you never feel rushed.”
