But after 2+ months of a disastrous lower back situation--to the point where I thought I was in traction--the *entire problem literally melted away. Ingrid Anderson is not only good at what she does--she's a phenomenally great person to talk to and confide in as well. Trustworthy, smart and dynamic. Bring your issues and she'll know how to fix them. She had surprising, drill-down knowledge of my male-centric issues and had a pointed empathy that really struck a cord (letter changed for the intended bad pun). In addition to all that, Ingrid gave me some great pointers on how to exercise in a smarter way that doesn't tax the body as hard as traditional stuff. It's a tack I'm going to take from now on to protect against injury in the future. So, if you're ailing about something, go. You'll leave there feeling better and smarter about your body. I promise.

I started physical therapy for pain in my left shoulder and my right achilles, and I completed my last session today. After confirming with an orthopedist that I didn't have any torn muscles or broken bones, I was referred to Benchmark. Benchmark has a lot of locations, so there is likely one near you. When I started therapy, I had constant dull pain. I could still do my normal activities, but I was always uncomfortable and annoyed by both my shoulder and my ankle. After my sessions with Kayla and continuing to perform PT exercises at home, my shoulder pain is mostly gone. My shoulder twinges every now and then, but now I can go 2-3 days without feeling any pain. I think the biggest improvement with my shoulder came because I decided to try dry needling. With dry needling, a needle is inserted into the muscle to accelerate releasing the tension/tightness in that muscle. My ankle is still an issue but much better than when I started. I tried dry needling on my calf muscle during my prior session and since then my ankle still bothers me, but not as much as before, and after 2 days of yard work I wasn't hobbling, nor did I have to take an ibuprofen, so for me that's a big improvement. The atmosphere at this Benchmark location reminds me of an open space gym. People are congenial and there is usually music playing. There will be some conversation between therapists and patients (both therapy and non-therapy related) because there are usually 3-5 people in session when I'm there, and we're all doing different exercises based on our particular injury. The session sharing was the only thing that was a little off about my experience. You'll share your session with 1-2 other people. This makes sense because your PT doesn't have to focus on you constantly and you can go at your own pace with the exercises, but I remember my mom having one-on-one sessions with a physical therapist, so I was surprised at the shared session. I was a bit apprehensive about going to a chain for my physical therapy but this Benchmark did not disappoint, and that's likely due to my therapist, Kayla.

To find relief for my lower back pain, my PCP referred me to Dr. Christopher Edwards at the Atlanta…read moreNeurological and Spine Institute. Dr. Edwards is an orthopedic surgeon who is renowned in his field, having been the first to perform many different types of spinal surgeries in Georgia and having worked with many college and pro athletes. The Spine Institute also has an in-house physical therapy clinic, so I will break this review into two parts. Part 1 - Dr. Edwards, Mr. Adams, PA-C: I had five appointments with the doctor. The first appointment, where I was initially evaluated, was handled by Dr. Edwards' Physician Assistant, David Adams. Mr. Adams surveyed my experience with back pain and performed a series of tests which included testing my range of motion, strength, and reflexes. Mr. Adams, in consultation with Dr. Edwards, ordered an MRI and a follow-up appointment. In the meantime, I was prescribed medicine and physical therapy. The length of time between my first appointment and my follow-up appointment was exactly one week, with my MRI promptly taken in between. The process was fast and efficient. At my follow-up appointment, I saw both Mr. Adams and Dr. Edwards. At this appointment, I learned that I had two ruptured discs. Both Mr. Adams and Dr. Edwards pointed out and explained the problem areas on my MRI. Dr. Edwards had a good discussion with me about what was going on with my discs, what may have caused it, and my treatment options. He also answered all my questions. Treatment-wise, he prescribed various medications and physical therapy at his office. After learning of my disc herniations, Dr. Edwards was very particular about which PT clinic he wanted me to go to. At my third appointment, after 5 weeks of PT and no significant pain relief, I was seen by Mr. Adams again. At this appointment, both he and Dr. Edwards agreed I should proceed with an epidural. Dr. Edwards' office referred me to an anesthesiologist where I had a three sets of injections done. After the epidural injections, I saw Dr. Edwards again. This time, he was accompanied by resident M.D. David Fiedler. Based on my age and symptoms, Dr. Edwards did not recommend surgery. Instead, he recommended I receive IDD (intervertebral differential dynamics) therapy from a neurology group. Based on my visits with Dr. Edwards, I find him to be a very knowledgeable doctor and I like his conservative approach. He is a surgeon at heart, but won't recommend surgery to anyone unless they truly need it. I highly recommend grabbing an 8am appointment (first appointment of the day). I was in and out in just over an hour for my 8am appointment. I had two 9:30am appointments and I was not seen until about 11am (about a 1.5 hour wait) for one of them and nearly 12pm (an over 2 hour wait) for the other! Part 2 - Physical Therapy: I saw Joy, a physical therapist who is specially trained in the Watkins Protocol, a lumbar/trunk stabilization program. Joy received her training directly from Dr. Robert Watkins in California. (Dr. Edwards is the first to introduce the Watkins Protocol to Atlanta.) I saw Joy for 7 weeks. She is pleasant, friendly, and gentle but also assertive. My first appointment with her lasted about two hours because it involved an initial evaluation. Like a doctor, Joy was able to explain a lot of what was going on with my spine and why. She also explained the body mechanics behind the Watkins exercises and why they were beneficial to me. I noticed Joy seemed more knowledgeable and spent more time explaining things to me and answering my questions than physical therapists I've worked with in the past. After the first visit, my appointments lasted about 1.5 hours each. All of the physical therapy exercises are done in a room that overlooks Downtown Atlanta. From left to right, there are views of the Georgia Dome and Pemberton Place (Georgia Aquarium, World of Coke) to Tech Tower and Bobby Dodd Stadium. At 18 stories high, the view is very nice to have to work out to. Joy printed out a packet of exercises for me so I wouldn't forget to do them at home. She is flexible on scheduling and doesn't pressure you to make appointments. She's accommodating in that sense. Her methods and advice are sensible and practical. Other Comments: The rest of the staff - Keosha, Lina, and Sandy - are great. They are good at answering questions, being responsive, and taking care of insurance and appointment scheduling. Teresa, in billing, has also been helpful when it comes to insurance. The Atlanta Neurological and Spine Institute moved from the Atlanta Medical Center on Boulevard to Emory University Hospital Midtown on Peachtree, next to the Bank of America building. It is located on the 18th floor of the hospital. Parking in the parking deck costs up to $6 for one day. I normally paid $5 for each of my visits. The office does not validate parking.

I have had two separate operations on my back: the first was the top of my vertebrae and the second on my spinal column in my lower back. The results: I no longer walk with a cane and no more trouble breathing after four years of pain and suffering. After only three months recovery I am as active as always even though the true recovery period is approximately a year. Both my husband and I had done the research and knew we needed surgery but Dr. Edwards insisted we have second opinions and all proper tests before he agreed. He reviewed our X-ray results with us and the before and after images are amazing. Yes, the wait can sometimes be a bit long for your appointment but that is because he is not on a fifteen minutes and off you go time clock. Dr Edwards cares for the entire person and if you have special needs he will give you the time. The best of Dr. Edwards is that he is truely a man of God. He reminds us he is a "tool" for healing and always prays with his patients right before surgery. This humble man is truely blessed and his patients benefit. Hon. S Dempsey (retired)
