Reduced Sharp Knee Pain and Maintained Physical Fitness for Duty Assignments

I would recommend Pinnacle because, before you go and have a major surgery or operation to try to fix something, the least intrusive method is always worth trying at first. And I think it'll get me farther down the road before I may have to have something more severe like a replacement of a knee or something like that. John Laughlin. I am currently employed by the state of Texas as an investigator for the Texas Board of Criminal Justice, Office of Inspector General. I live in Wichita Falls. So, before working with Pinnacle I was employed by the city of Wichita Falls as a police officer and I spent many years on their special weapons and tactics team, which took a toll on my body. Lots of wear and tear on knees, joints, muscles. So I had some really bad pain in my right knee, especially. Every step it was like a sharp shooting pain so that's why I decided to go see Josh. As a matter of fact, Josh was our medic on our SWAT team for many years and that's how I got to know him and I knew about his practice. Once I had retired from the city and started a new career path with the state, I would continue along - physically challenging career path for many years. And I couldn't maintain. I couldn't keep doing what I was doing with the amount of pain that I was in, so I sought help. Not worried about the pain but the cost was - before I retired, it would have been cost prohibitive. So, things I've tried in the past, of course, was lots of over- -the-counter anti-inflammatory pain reducers. You know, Ibuprofen, Tylenol. I tried some braces and supports for my knee - especially as I worked out in order to stay fit for my job assignment. And that actually impacted my ability to continue to stay fit for my duty assignment. I started backing off on how much I was doing and how often I would exercise because the pain was pretty severe. There was a reduction in pain. As I was saying in the beginning every step was a sharp shooting pain in my right knee and pretty quickly after he started me on changing up my medications and getting me on something that would help regularly - just how quickly the pain subsided. So, my life is different now in a good way. Of course, it's not 100%. I'm going to be honest with you, it's not like I was when I was 20-something. But I'm way better off. I have more energy, I participate in their Total Wellness Plan, so I continue to see them on an annual basis. My knee is a lot better than it was and that's enabled me to maintain my regimen to stay fit for my duty assignments.
