Synergy Therapeutic Group is located in Du Quoin, IL.

When I began coming to Synergy, I was in a lot of constant pain in my ribs and had a lot of pain upon standing and walking. I could stand for less than 5 minutes. When I went shopping, I would take a wheelchair if I was going to be in there more than 15 minutes. After 4 visits at Synergy, the constant rib pain is almost gone. Yesterday I spent about an hour walking through a store before my back even started getting uncomfortable.

I sought out services of Synergy because of two problems: (1) discomfort/numbness/pain in my left toes which had started in recovery from spinal surgery; and (2) right knee pain that disturbed my sleep and impeded my walking.

After 2 weeks, 3 times a week, I see improvement in both of these problems. My left toes lay flat and is much more comfortable and my right knee allows me to maneuver stairs comfortably as well as sleep without waking to pain.

I am very encouraged by the treatment at Synergy.

I dislocated my shoulder as a result of a car accident. It severely impaired my range of motion and the pain made it impossible to sleep unless I was extremely exhausted. Synergy helped me reduce my pain from 8/10 to 0/10 and strengthened my shoulder to reduce the risk of future dislocations. I can finally sleep again and I have recovered my full range of motion.

This winter I had lost energy. I was fatigued most days. In the evening I had trouble with losing balance. I was prevented from walking due to pain on my right knee. At Synergy, I got core body exercises for upper and lower body. Also, I received laser treatment on my knee.

Now, I am able to do activities for a longer time such as housekeeping, conversing with my husband, and playing the recorder in an recorder ensemble. Last weekend, I visited with my relatives for three days and only needed one nap. I’ve had to nap on many occasions with family gatherings in the past.

So, I’m generally stronger and plan to hike in the Colorado mountains this week, Thanks to all the team at Synergy!

I am able to sleep better and stand little better for longer period of time. I have less pain in my lower back. No tingling in my left foot. There is minimal tingling in my right foot. Feel very relaxed ,calm and less tense.

Before coming to Synergy, I had tried PT, chiropractic, massage, injections and on the verge of surgery. It was recommended that I have my S.I. joint fused, though no one had really given me an answer as to the exact cause of all my back pain. When I came to Synergy, my pain was an “8” out “10” consistently.

I was severely depressed due to the constant pain and lack of answers or any real relief. Since my time at Synergy, my pain has been reduced to a “3” and I have confidence that I will become pain free. I only take pain medicine once daily, mainly in the morning. Whereas before, it was around the clock just to function.

My mood has improved and I regained hope that I can have a pain free life. My health insurance did not cover my treatment however it has been worth every penny paid out of pocket for the relief. I had already spent so much with minor relief, if any. Synergy was/is money well spent.
