As a long distance runner, I have experienced my share of wear and tear from the sport. For years, I would be hobbled by little twinges that would crop up in the legs or lower back. This meant having to drop plans for races and wait for things to clear up weeks later or go to doctors who really didn't know how to treat what was occurring from within their realm of practice.
Since moving to Las Vegas, I discovered the services of Michel Rantissi Jr at Advanced Manual Therapy Institute. He has definitely managed to pull me from the brink of spending race weekend up on cinder blocks versus on the course running. Rantissi is a master practitioner in Trigger Point Dry Needling, which gets to the root of many of those muscular aches and cramps that bedevil runners, particularly in the legs.
With a couple well placed pokes of fine filament dry needles and a little bit of light voltage current, those twinges and knots will go away. It hurts for a few moments as he pokes the trigger point vigorously to release it. You'll be initially sore from the experience but good as new two days later. He also is good with identifying misalignments in the back and hips and doing adjustments that are appropriate and accurate.
This is not a franchise chiropractic chop shop where you are hurried in, treated in less than 3 minutes and pushed out, but somewhere that each patient is carefully given attention and care appropriate to their needs. Advanced Manual Physical Therapy definitely has a good bunch of folks there. They charge very reasonable flat prices and are fairly easy to schedule with for appointments.
After having used their services six times, I am feeling better and more physically ready to go than ever before. Thank you Advanced Manual Physical Therapy!
