Lisa E. replied:
Mel - you mention a lot of treatments to maintain- ever try acupuncture? I had horrible sciatic for a few months and a bad snowboard fall. Anne Kinchen of Cleveland acupuncture did 3 treatments and it was healed. Combo of needles and cold laser to reduce inflammation and allow for healing. If you decide to try her, tell her you know me. She's affordable and has been licensed for years.
Lynette M. replied:
Check out figures 3, 4 and 5. I've found this to help considerably. http://www.spine-health.com/.../pain-relief-mckenzie...
Mel, try Dr. Shaia at Orthopaedic Specialists in Avon and Westlake (440) 892-1440. Erika and I both see doctors there.
Mel M. replied:
Margo McGrath then why is it not HEALED
Thalia V. replied:
Mel, ERIC MAYER M.D. Center For Spine Health, Cleveland Clinic. 216/636-5860. George said that Dr. Mayer saved his life from the pain, without surgery. LOL on the meds!!
Mary R. replied:
I worked with Dr Shaia in the ER. Super nice guy, great doctor.
Greg S. replied:
After my accident I had pain so bad couldn't hardly walk, went over to Cleveland Clinic Oak Point and got the epidural injection, worked great for me, have not had to have any shots in over a year.
Karin S. replied:
Dr. Phillip Berringer Cleveland Clinic Pain Management - Oak Point and Avon...the BEST!
Greg S. replied:
Dr Berringer is my Dr also, took good care of me
David H. replied:
Hey Mel, I too recommend Ann at Cleveland Acupuncture. I really like her a lot and she has provided lots of relief for several issues. I have used Dr Zachary for injections...they have been hit or miss for me...I've had them several times. I also REALLY like Dr. Shin at CC in Medina. He did my last injection and it seemed to work the best. But I would try Ann first.
Brandy A. replied:
I asked in the family and got Dr. Hill on Transportation Blvd.

Susan H. replied:
Jo Ann he will be fine. Wrist happened at the first race in the spring (they said it wasn't broke but now it doesn't move). He crashed a dirt bike 2 weeks ago and landed on shoulder. Wasn't bad until he tried to bench weights and it popped and now it doesn't move.
Tracy E. replied:
Medina area? Crystal Clinic has some great shoulder, arm, wrist docs. Also, my daughter sees Dr. Joe Congeni at Akron Childrens for her back injury, not sure if he is all around ortho or not but he is awesome...can't say enough about him.

Valerie M. replied:
We use Dr Smolen at Providence Pediatrics
Elizabeth C. replied:
Our GP is Mackey Family Practice we see David. He's incredible. Our children go there or Indian Land Pediatrics. The dr there is amazing but one of the office staff members is horrid. I believe she hates people in general.
Laura D. replied:
We LOVE Dr Reilly at Providence Pediatrics. I've heard the best Urgent Care is the one in waxhaw. But thankfully haven't had to go yet
Carrie B. replied:
My family care physician is Dr Sharp with Mackey Family Practice. I love him, but I will be honest & say the rest of the practice is not my cup of tea. But he is thorough & takes his time. But that also means you have to wait sometimes. Totally worth it in my opinion.
Sarah O. replied:
We also go to Indian Land Pediatrics and agree about the one staff member. She's always scowling. ALSO, Minute Clinic is great for minor illnesses.
Carissa L. replied:
Dr Kathy Mohanty at Ballantyne Pediatrics. We just moved away and i hate that we have to find a new doctor. She knew my daughter and her history (medical and personal) just about as well as i did!!!
Sarahy M. replied:
I also go to providence pediatric and Dr Riley is awesome !! But Mackey is also a good family doctor Dr David he is great!
Detra F. replied:
Also go to Providence Pediatrics (Dr. Valder).
Haley B. replied:
Thanks so much for taking time to share your recommendations. It was extremely helpful. FYI - ended up going to CMS Children's Urgent Care in Blakeney yesterday. Had a great experience with no wait.

Tired of having week another week that includes daily headaches. Doctor recommends seeing a neurologist. Any recommendations?
Sheila N. replied:
Have you talked to your GYN about this? Some women get hormonal headaches a week before period as well as during & after. Magnesium and B2 on a daily basis helps. Take Rivoflavin (B2) 400 mg once daily and magnesium 250 mg twice daily. If taken daily, it can prevent headaches. It may take one to two months to be effective. I have suffered with bad migraines for years & this really helps me.
Calling all Doctors out there! I need help first with a General Physician that has training with the care of SCI patients....Any Recommendations? We also need,...
