Excellent, excellent, excellent service and care from Dr. Pulawski and the team at Alternative Therapy.

If you want a provider that cares, then this is the place to go.

They were instrumental in helping me prepare for an up-coming surgery.

Highly recommend!

I have been suffering with back issues for many years and have been able to deal with the pain with little clinical intervention. About 6 months ago, that all changed when I could barely get out of bed and every movement created excruciating pain. My GP helped with some prednisone and recommended an MRI and then see a surgeon. The MRI showed severe deterioration of my lumbar discs, degenerative disc disease. Upon seeing the surgeon, they recommended physical therapy and a pain specialist to try and avoid surgery. I had experience with osteopathic therapy in the past and looked for one in the area. Looking through my choices, one stood out, Alternative Therapy as they advertised PT and osteopathic manipulation and accepted Medicare. I booked an appointment and one of the first things I noticed when I arrived at the facility, was a sign that read “The cure is within you”. Didn’t mean a lot then but over the course of 6 months, I would learn what it meant. That day I met Andrzej Strzalkowski, the owner and physical therapist. Come to find out, although not a doctor, Andrzej has had 7 years of osteopathic training and decades of experience. Andrzej did more than relieve my pain, he taught me how to relax which in itself, is very healing. Through a series of exercises and relaxation techniques, Andrzej taught me something that in 70 years, no one else has. Fast forward 6 months and I am doing extremely well, much better than I have been for years. Through a combination of traditional PT and stretching with another PT at the office, Michele Herbert and Andrzej’s osteopathic manipulation, and the overall care of everyone involved in the practice, I have learned that “The cure is within you” and hopefully will continue to avoid major back surgery and keep my pain to a minimum by using what I have been taught.
