A year and a half ago, I suffered a terrible fall down a flight of stairs that resulted in three broken and displaced ribs. Since then, I had been in and out of doctors' offices dealing with significant pain, multiple MRIs, and a frustrating recovery process. Unfortunately, some of the imaging wasn't even performed in the correct areas, and while everyone focused on my rib injuries, the cause of my severe lower back pain was never fully investigated. After my most recent MRI, physical therapy was recommended as an important part of my recovery. Joint & Spine Rehabilitation was one of the providers in my insurance network, and after calling several facilities with little response, I contacted Joint & Spine Rehabilitation. From the moment the front desk answered the phone, I was treated with kindness, compassion, and genuine concern. They asked thoughtful questions, listened to my situation, and scheduled me for an appointment the very next day. When I arrived, I was nervous because of the amount of pain I was experiencing. Dr. Gigante took the time to thoroughly review my rib imaging and asked whether I had ever received a lower lumbar MRI. I had not. He explained that while my ribs had sustained significant trauma, my lower spine may have also been affected by the fall. He ordered the MRI, and I received insurance approval within a week. During that first visit, Dr. Gigante also took X-rays of my pelvis and discovered that it was misaligned and that I had injured my SI joint--something that could explain the persistent lower back pain I had been struggling with for so long. Starting physical therapy was intimidating. When you've been in pain for an extended period, fear of making it worse can be overwhelming. My physical therapist, Chetali, has been absolutely amazing. She has helped me work through that fear, listens carefully to how I'm feeling, adjusts treatment accordingly, and continues to encourage me every step of the way. Dr. Reilly has also been fantastic. His adjustments have been incredibly helpful, and whenever I mention a concern or a new symptom, the entire team takes the time to listen and find ways to help. What stands out most about Joint & Spine Rehabilitation is how much they genuinely care about their patients. After just five weeks of treatment, the staff feels like family. They are professional, knowledgeable, compassionate, and easy to talk to. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I have a team that is truly invested in my recovery. I highly recommend Joint & Spine Rehabilitation to anyone dealing with pain, injury recovery, or physical therapy needs. Their dedication to their patients is exceptional. read more

This place has really saved me! A few years ago I had low back pain and Dr. G was able to help me. He also helped my ex-husband on a few occasions when he was in major pain and needed immediate help! Fast forward to last year I found out I had a herniated disc in my neck and he helped me and I started feeling better in five days! Through laser treatment, decompression therapy and pulse therapy as well as manual adjustments from Dr. G, I started to feel better almost immediately. During the summer I stopped going to his office because I felt better, but my hernia must have still been there and started to creep back and cause pain. He definitely helped improve my situation because I no longer have the numbness and tingling down my arm. I have been going to him continuously and once again making even more improvements. A few people I know had to get surgery for this condition. I do not believe I will need surgery! I am very grateful for this establishment and Dr. Gigante!!!! read more

I'm so grateful that Dr. G and his staff remained open during the pandemic and followed and exceeded recommended protocols. Access to the Pulse bed during my recovery from back surgery was very therapeutic. Dr G's advice and insights saved me from a lot of pain. I can't recommend Joint & Spine highly enough. read more

If you have back pain and can't find relief, try Dr. G. I have tried other chiropractors, acupuncture, PT and nothing really helped.

The staff wears masks, all the equipment is cleaned in front of you, and you never have to wait. I'm soooo happy I'm not in pain anymore. Seriously, try him. Anyone who has acute back pain understands the need for relief. read more

A doctor who specializes in pain management had recommended The Back Pain Center. With my severe back and neck injuries, I was trying to find the right medical team to help jumpstart my recovery. Doctor Gigante and his medical staff, including Eric and Stephen, have been treating me for roughly about a year. Doctor G assembled an experienced medical staff that provides absolutely excellent medical care. Their equipment is state of the art. My personal favorites are their spinal decompression and electrical stimulation machines. The medical staff is very social and between their great care and one-on-one attention has won my personal trust. They also focus on patient education as a supplement to office visits with a focal point on improving your situation (which in my case was minimizing pain). The front desk is also very friendly/professional and has helped me address past insurance concerns. I would definitely recommend The Back Pain Center to those seeking physical therapy and/or chiropractic. The good news for elderly patients is that they do participate in Medicare. I would also recommend Doctor G's book "Hope & Help for Back Pain" which is a value-adding read. I have read many fantastic books in my life (classics, sports, politics, finance, etc). I guarantee you that none of those will change your life for the better the way this one will. read more
