“I was losing sleep. I couldn’t get comfortable at night and would wake up constantly. That was the most frustrating part. Everything I was told to do was not helping… the pain was only getting worse.”
Nathan, 46, came to us after exhausting every option outside of surgery. A marathon runner, energetic entrepreneur, and father to two boys, Nathan took pride in his active lifestyle and was determined to find a solution for his knee pain.
Ice packs and heat compresses were no longer helpful, and relying on pain-pills was not an option he wanted to take. He committed to physical therapy for several weeks with little impact, tried dry needling and cortisone injections without success, and was ultimately told by multiple doctors to stop all activity that aggravated his knee. Nathan had done everything his insurance allowed but was still stuck at square one.
What The Other Doctors Missed…
Nathan had fallen into what we call “The Gap” — where insurance-based care cycles with no end in sight, surgery isn’t an option, and waiting for the pain to get worse seems like the only choice. Most providers only look for what they know how to treat. But our comprehensive ‘Deep Dive’ approach and expertise allowed us to bridge that gap for Nathan.
Using a detailed pain profile, 57-point knee inspection, MSK ultrasound scan, and diagnostic injection, we were able to confirm Nathan’s knee injury and quickly develop a targeted treatment plan to heal the damaged tissue.
A Comprehensive Solution, NO Surgery or Pills
In just 4 weeks, the pain improved significantly, allowing Nathan to regain his range of motion, sleep soundly at night, and return to the sport he loves:
“My body is performing better than before, and I even signed up for a Ragnar race now that I’m back to running again — something I didn’t think I would ever be able to do! If you’re tired of the ‘just hope for the best’ from many in the medical field, and want a complete set of options, Ethos Integrative Medicine is the place to go.”
