Chronic pain is rife in our culture. Almost everyone you know is dealing with some kind of frequent, if not constant, pain. Maybe it’s a persistent back pain, a knee that hurts when using the stairs, or frequent headaches. It’s all horribly common, whether it just came on one day and never left, or happened suddenly from an accident and has lingered, but we do little about it as a culture and a medical community. It isn’t even about age, as my office is filled with as many teens and twenty’s as people in their seventies and eighties. Our pain is often simply normalized, and treated as a one way event. When it is treated, it’s often approached as more of a pain management than a pain resolution case, especially more complicated situations like nerve pain (which are surprisingly common), sensory dysfunctions (vision problems, vertigo, ear ringing etc.) and less common conditions (such as Parkinson’s, Guillain Barre Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, brain injuries and stroke, and many others), which are all seldom treated well.
Thrive approaches things differently. We do not simply chase symptoms, we seek to approach causes. We work to get to the root of the problem which has led to your pain, dysfunction, or condition, and deal with it as quickly and permanently as possible. Combining neurology based rehabilitation techniques, manual and movement therapies, and lifestyle changes where needed (not telling you to stop being active and get used to your disability!), as well as referring out to a trusted network of highly talented practitioners when appropriate, leading to unparalleled care and outcomes. Most of our patients have seen ‘everyone else, and tried everything,’ and we have never failed to achieve profound improvements. We have helped people return to independence, be able to walk again, avoid surgeries which were thought to be the only option, get off risky and side effect filled medications*, and many other horrible health situations, to return to a vibrant, pain free, and healthy life once more.
If you would like to get to the root of your pains and physical dysfunctions, and work on resolving them for good, get in touch and see what we can do for you. We accept most insurance plans, and most of all, are dedicated to the quickest and most thorough process possible for you.
I started seeing Corey in December 2015. I had been referred to him from my previous trainer due to the fact I had fibromyalgia, both knees replaced, a torn rotator cuff (causing a frozen shoulder) and had a stomach bypass in 2002.
Corey has helped me get my mobility back! I couldn't get up from the floor due to my bad shoulders and knees. He taught me how to get up again (haven't been able to do this in 20yrs.) and gave me the confidence I needed to achieve this! He has worked very hard to help get my mobility back in my right shoulder.
His NKT [Neurology based rehabiliation techniques] has been amazingly effective and often relieves stiffness and pain before and after sessions. He often focuses on any pain first before any work out which allows me to focus on the exercise. He has been very patient because my fibromyalgia gets in the way. He knows when to push it and when to back off so I won't suffer later.
Through all of this Corey has been understanding, very knowledgeable, and very supportive. His confidence has rubbed off on me and giving me the desire to move forward and enjoy life once again!
