I talked to my doc and she suggested physical therapy. I was ready - I knew physical therapy would help, but wasn't sure how much. So I signed up for Proflex. They started by taping me up, and working the muscles around my knee. Ok, sounded good. Then I was surprised in a couple of weeks the pain was actually getting better. By the end of my time at Proflex, I really hadn't noticed it, but the exercises that were building the muscles and moving my knee back into the correct position, the pain was essentially gone. I literally had no problem going down stairs anymore. To be honest, I was pretty surprised how effective this was. But I am really grateful. This was a great experience and I will not underestimate how effective the time spent at good physical therapy can be. These folks are very good. I would totally recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

They do not pass out any medication indiscriminately. They do pill counts, drug testing and keep up with current research. The American Medical Association has recently come out in support of pain management at a time when this is a difficult area of medicine to practice. There are many medical conditions that do not respond to alternative pain treatments and sometimes opioid medication becomes necessary for optimal functioning. The current body of research now clearly shows, without any doubt, that pain medication prescription rates and overdose rates have no statistical relationship. None. Zero. Zip. Overdoses resulting in death are almost always a result of illicit opioids like heroin & illegal fentanyl, polysubstance use and occasionally diversion of prescription medication used by someone it was not prescribed to. This is typically a result of poverty, hopelessness, lack of employment opportunities, etc. If we hope to combat overdose rates in our state, we need to start fixing the problem rather than hurting patients in need. I am happy to cite the research for all my claims. I can be reached at rebecca0874@gmail.com It is important to note that over the counter Tylenol kills more people each year than opioids but it's still sold without a prescription. Alcohol & tobacco also kill significant numbers of people and our country largely ignores that. It is important that we support good doctors who are doing their best to help patients with a real medical needs. Comfort and Wellness Center does their job well in a difficult time. We need to protect the sanctity of the doctor patient relationship.

Kure is a big chain that swooped in a took over many of the small practices in the area. With that said, I stayed on because the Physician's Assistant who has been with me for these 12 years stayed and she knows me best. Since this takeover, I have experienced much frustration. Let's just start with the fact that I have never met any of the doctors other then when I go in for a procedure. The first time I had a procedure scheduled, I was subjected to sales pitches for spinal cord stimulators before and after my procedure. I have since refused to schedule with that particular doctor. On many occasions, my prescriptions were messed up or denied and needed action from the staff. If you call the main number, you be immersed in to an endless maze of menus and people who will say they'll help you, but do nothing. I've had to physically walk in the office to get my issues resolved on numerous occasions! I've experienced last minute cancellations for procedures where I was off of certain meds for two weeks to prep. In addition, I've shown up at the locations I was supposed to have the procedure only to find out it was moved to another location without my consent. If it wasn't for my Physician's Assistant and the fact that she's AMAZING, I'd be gone. This company is all about the profit and pushing bodies through, not about the individual care.
