    I've had a knee problem for the last few years after an unfortunate incident playing in a soccer league.  I had to take the remainder of the summer off and started seeing a physiotherapist about it.  The physiotherapist diagnosed it and after about a year I saw minimal if any improvement and I wasn't sure if my injury was "healing" due to time or our treatment and decided against going back because I felt like I was wasting money and more importantly time.  

    Fast forward to last fall and my friend told me he saw a new doctor who helped him get over some problems he was having and it went away in after some time.  They also had the same problem I did with another physiotherapist and sports doctor in town.  He warned me that the treatment he got was extremely painful but it did help him fully recover.  I decided why not I'll give it a try.

    I made my first appointment and showed up to the office.  The staff is super friendly and I had my assessment from Dr. Zollinger.  We went over my medical history and gave me my first treatment of something called graston.  This process can be VERY painful and I was unsure if I was going to go back to my next appointment.  

    A funny thing happened though.  I was able to run at a faster pace than I have been the last 2 years and the amount of pain I experienced after sports was a lot less than before.  I decided I had to suck it up and continue on.  4 months later, Dr Zollinger has been able to work out the lump that was in my knee which was scar tissue and figure out all the other minor side effects due to not having it treated properly from the start.  I'm currently in the strengthening phase in my knee now and in the last month I've only felt pain in my knee once which was due to me slipping funny and having my knee shift.  I still ice my knee as precautionary measures after each game when I remember but the last 2 games I haven't and I didn't feel any problems the next day.  I will do one more appointment with Dr Zollinger at which point my knee should be 95% better than it's been in the last 2 years.  

    Thank you very much Dr Zollinger for all your help in letting me get back to my active lifestyle!

    I'd recommend him to anyone!  He specializes in chiropractic services but has studied other things.  The great thing is I never used a chiropractor so if you are covered by insurance it will come off that rather than physio if you need it.
