On May 27, 2019 I hurt my neck which resulted in stiffness and severe migraines. Once the injury occurred I was waking up each day with a Migraine headache that would continue throughout the day until I went to sleep. I was in severe pain. After multiple visits to the doctor that included CT scans, X-rays, MRI's, it was concluded that I herniated the C5 & C6 disks in my neck that were causing stiffness and limited movement. On top of that, I pulled my neck muscle that lead to a pinched occipital nerve, causing migraines.
To begin fixing the problem I saw a spine surgeon, pain management specialist, chiropractor, began acupuncture treatments, and ultimately ended up getting a nerve block in my neck. Unfortunately, none of the treatments worked and I was still in intense pain.
As a final option I decided to try physical therapy and it was the best decision I could have possibly made. I can't say enough positive things about "Syosset Physical Therapy and Athletic Training" in Syosset (115 Eileen Way). The facility is brand new, has a parking lot, is well-kept and the staff is super friendly and excellent in scheduling appointments. You are taken care of from the moment you walk in and the wait time is limited. I go to the Syosset location but I'm sure their other locations operate similarly.
I could not write this review without mentioning my PT, Joe Cannisi who is amazing! He is highly skilled, experienced and shows passion for his work which translates to results for his patients. Joe evaluated my problem and created a custom PT program that helped me recover quickly and eventually made my migraines disappear. I feel like myself again!
For anyone that is indecisive about trying PT, please don't hesitate and give them a call. The sooner you start with them the faster you will get better, I promise you! read more
