I have long-standing back issues, including a completely degenerated L5-S1, spinal stenosis, and severe muscle tightness. Over the years, I’ve tried just about everything—chiropractic care, physical therapy, massage, cortisone shots, spinal injections, and more. My doctor eventually told me that surgery was the only option left. I was very hesitant, so I tried chiropractic and massage therapy again. While it helped somewhat with muscle tightness, even one quick movement would cause everything to seize right back up.
I had resigned myself to having surgery this summer, but I still needed relief—without adding medication—until I was ready. After Googling pain management, I came across Dr. Truong and decided to give it a try. I am so thankful I did. She is truly a godsend!
Through trigger point injections and acupuncture, I have experienced tremendous relief. I feel like I am getting my life back. I can walk without pain, stand for long periods without pressure or pain shooting down my legs, and I’m finally sleeping better. I was even able to stop taking muscle relaxers and no longer need to spend money on expensive creams and temporary fixes—this treatment actually works.
If you’re even thinking about seeing a pain management doctor, don’t wait—run. You can find real relief without medication. I am incredibly grateful to Dr. Truong, and her staff deserves special recognition as well. They are always so warm, friendly, and extremely helpful.
