Regained Five-Mile Walking Mobility and Twelve-Mile Cycling Stamina Without Surgery

After doing the research one of the things that really intrigued me was the PRP option. Where it was using my own blood and what it could do for my body... directly at the area of issue that I had. And I just felt like this was a good option for me. I just don't like taking medicines and I just don't care for major surgeries and I was looking for something totally different. And the research showed that this process has been used successfully for years. It's a process that's gotten lots of acceptance and lots of use in the sport world. I just wanted to continue my active lifestyle and so that's why I chose that. Stephen Garner. I retired from a 35 year career selling cars and I'm thoroughly enjoying this new chapter in my life. Before I started working with Dr. Schacter and the Pinnacle Group, I was noticing some issues I had with my right hip. I've been a runner and a swimmer and a bike rider all my adult life and I was starting to have some real issues with movement in my right hip. And I had had a successful knee surgery seven years ago and I just wasn't ready for another invasive surgery. So I was looking for... some options. Looking for something different that could take care of the issue I had without something that invasive. And when I did my research I found some options and Dr. Schacter was here in Wichita Falls, so I just reached out to him and here I am. As I looked at the options, one of the things about the option with Dr. Schachter was the cost. I've been involved with insurance coverage my whole adult life and looking at a concierge service - where I was going to have to pay out of pocket - of course it was kind of a shock. But what I was looking for was something that wasn't going to give me the same effect that the major surgery did and looking at the cost benefit, for me, I just decided it was something I wanted to do and something I wanted to try. And that's how I ended up reaching out to Dr. Schachter. As I started this process one of the things I noticed about the staff at Dr. Schachter's office was the way they treated me. It's always a pleasure to have someone treat you like your business is important. That I wasn't just another patient but someone that they greeted, friendly - almost like, you know, family or someone that they'd known for a long time. So, the bedside manner and the treatment by the entire staff it was really a wonderful experience. Following the procedure, The regaining of my stamina in my daily walks and bike rides... was a real exciting change for me. Being able to go from walking a mile comfortably, now I've got my walk back up to five miles. My bike rides up to 12 miles. And I don't have lasting... issues, at the end of the day, that I had prior to the PRP treatments, the laser treatments. I just am really pleased with the progress that I've been able to enjoy. I have a lot of contact with people in our community and a lot of them know that I've been active for many years. And when I tell them that Pinnacle was such an effective option for me, this was something that I researched on my own and I share that with my friends. And when I let them know that staff at Pinnacle was so accommodating, that the treatment has been so incredibly effective over a short period of time - in my mind. That over the course of two and a half months I was able to regain mobility and the daily issues I had are gone.
