I can't say enough about how GREAT my experience has been. Dr. Torzok and his massage assistant are incredible. I have been through it-2 orthopedic physicians, MRI, x-rays, PT, dry needling with NO pain relief. Then by fate and a cx appointment I fell into their hands. An hour drive and well, the first pain relief I have had for 9-10 months incredible!! He truly had the knowledge and I felt so overwhelmed with shock and joy that FINALLY someone understood my injury. I will continue to drive to see him for treatment and would wait all day if I had to. So GRATEFUL for the wellness center and the knowledge of Dr. Torzok. Incredible!!!!!
