Went to the ER with elevated blood pressure (over 170) and elevated heart rate complicated with…read morepalpitations late in the evening. No other symptoms, but possibly some indications of minor food poisoning 5 days earlier. I had some abdominal cramps and lots of belching, but nothing else. Took recommended dosages of Pepto Bismol and got some relief. Got an EKG right away. Stone cold normal was the verdict, yet the EKG still showed palpitations. O2 saturation was 98%. Sat in the waiting area for 3 1/2 hrs total before being taken in. Drew blood to check for electrolyte balance, heart muscle decay enzymes, and white cell count. Results came back with elevated decay enzymes, but two subsequent test showed similar, but slightly lower levels, so nothing to worry about there. No electrolyte imbalance and normal white cell count. The ER room temperature oscillated between 69 and 75 deg. F constantly, and airflow into the room sounded like a jet engine: nearly intolerable. Near 4:30AM, they said that I should probably be admitted for additional tests, but neglected to mention that there were no open beds, so I was stuck in the ER on a gurney. Saw three doctors once each during my stay. One was very helpful, the rest just made an appearance and vanished. I hadn't eaten since 6:00PM the prior day, I was getting very hungry and it was now 9:00AM and the echo cardiogram wasn't until after 10AM. I was told I couldn't eat only because a diet plan hadn't been entered for me. That got fixed, but since I expected to be either in a room or discharged soon, I only asked for juice. Later, I discovered that the ER is not equipped to handle inpatient needs, so naturally, none of my daily medications were administered. I finally got the echo cardiogram and was told it would take 2-2 1/2 hours for results. 3 hours later, no results: They were waiting on a radiologist at a different hospital to read the data. After 33 hours without sleep, and 14 hours subjected to high levels of noise and nothing to eat for 15 hours, I wanted out. I had to sign forms indicating I had left against medical advice 3 1/2 hours after the echo was completed. I felt as if I would have died if I stayed any longer. Echo cardiogram results came back 5 1/2 hours after the test. The verdict: normal with minor reflux (heart murmur). Really... With one side of the mitral valve one third the size of the other side, how is this normal? Note that this was not St. Francis' evaluation. I had known this for over 2 years (Covid damaged the heart valve) and the echo showed no change, even though the radiologist claimed there was no prior data for comparison (there was: he just didn't find it and it was at his hospital). The verdict: no clinical evidence as to what caused the blood pressure spike or the elevated heart rate or the palpitations. The palpitations vanished, my heart rate returned to normal about 3 hours after I noticed it, and the one helpful doctor changed my hypertension medication which has lowered my blood pressure. On the plus side, the staff were compassionate and tried to be helpful, but had I been informed that there were no beds, I would have left and taken it up with my primary care MD instead. The ER was being remodeled and I realize this disrupted operations, but not telling me they had no beds available yet still wanting to keep me was ludicrous. I will no be going back ever.

I was having GI trouble. My primary care doc is trained in integrative medicine and, unfortunately,…read morethe results of the tests she did were inconclusive. So she recommended Ayurveda, which brought up a new challenge for me. I know how to find an Ayurvedic doctor in India, but how do I find a suitable one locally? I had two major criteria: Excellent training and a kind and caring person. And I found just the right person. Dr. Asavari Manvikar fits both criteria. She trained in India at a premier institution in Pune, India, getting both her bachelor's and master's degrees. Her thesis was awarded a gold medal by the Institute of Medicine. She served as a Doctor of Ayurveda Medicine, faculty member at an Ayurveda college where she conducted and published research on integrative approaches for illnesses like cancer and diabetes. Then she trained in the US in integrative medicine--great! Now, she teaches a graduate level class in Ayurveda at the Univ of MN. Wonderful qualifications! As soon as I met her, I knew I had found the person I wanted to work with. She was warm and very easy to talk with. She listened very well and was respectful and kind. In all or our interactions, I have felt very comfortable and well cared for and listened to. I have found Ayurveda to be extremely helpful and my GI system is much more resilient now. Of course, after a life time of GI troubles, I knew it would take a while and, indeed, it did. After a couple of years I noticed that I was much more resilient. Not just my GI system (fewer tummy upsets, able to eat more things than before w/o stomach issues) but my immune system as well. My allergies were much better, my sleep improved and I had more energy. I have been able to stay off strong Western medicines--they helped me when I needed them but I did not want to be on them forever. And the changes have held over time and I feel so much better. I am so glad I am using Ayurveda and very pleased to be working with such a competent and caring professional. If you are looking for a natural approach to helping your body, I suggest trying Ayurveda. It is gentle and takes a holistic approach addressing mind, body and spirit. And I strongly recommend you seek treatment from Dr. Manvikar. I know you will like her and she will help you. I wish you all the best on your healing journey.

I wasn't enjoying life, but I felt strongly about avoiding surgery. After the presentation about Stem Cell Therapy, I was encouraged about what I had heard, because stem cells are natural and we all have them. However, as we age, we don't have many of our own cells left to help us out. In July of 2023, I received 2 stem cell injections in my lower back (one on each side). Everyone is different, but it took about 4 months for my back to feel better, and it's been good ever since. I had one more area that was very painful for me, and that was my right knee. I received another stem cell injection in my knee in January 2024. The improvement was within 5-6 days, rather than months. My knee has been pain-free ever since! I feel great and am enjoying life so much more thanks to stem cell therapy.

I stopped…read moreexercising for a month and it felt better, but then suddenly recurred and got steadily worse -- to the point that I could no longer walk more than a hundred yards. I finally saw an orthopedist, who quickly diagnosed a herniated disc and referred me to a PT that he respected. That PT did all the usual visual assessments and thought that it was just a bulging disc, giving me a series of extremely painful exercises that I couldn't get complete. He assured me it was just "my body trying to protect itself", but after four days I decided to seek another opinion. I was familiar with Orthology through several channels, and found a woman in the Eden Prairie office with numerous degrees after her name and a background that seemed in line with my issues. My first PT session was much more hands-on and included some (very painful) massage therapy that seemed to help (my body was so out-of-whack that all sorts of muscles were spasming). I was given a series of stretching and strengthening exercises, along with specific posture recommendations -- some of which were directly opposite what the first PT prescribed. In addition, my PT (Shawn) diagnosed me with spinal stenosis, which I was able to confirm after my own on-line research based on my symptoms. Over the next 12 visits over the course of 6 weeks, my symptoms started to subside and the focus turned from massage to stretching and intense core work. I am now pain-free, but I need to always be conscious of my posture and keep up with my core work. Scheduling was easy and straightforward, with text reminders of upcoming appointments. Payment was very easy (Medicare in this case), and the facility is modern and clean. I'm sure I'll be coming back to address some future issue as my body ages!

Dr. Koch was very friendly and professional, asked me in-depth questions about the pain I was having and massaged out the spots that were causing discomfort. He came up with a personalized recovery plan for me and walked me through several different stretches and movements that would help the healing. The next day I was pretty sore in the areas he had worked on, but two days later my pain was almost 90% gone! I was amazed - after being in pain every time I took a deep breath for almost three weeks, I had gone half the day before I even remembered that I had been injured. Would highly recommend seeing Dr. Koch at Orthology!
