Sports Medicine in Boca Raton

“I simply had to update my earlier review of Dr Fano's Boca Spine & Wellness Center - because WOW! I've just had a new therapy offered here: shockwave. The name may sound intimidating, and if you check out videos of how other practitioners are using this on patients it may give you some anxiety? The videos may show patients grimacing under the tat-tat-tat-tat-tat of the shockwave wand. But I am SO VERY glad I got this treatment on my hip. I have a torn labrum and off-set hip joint on my right side. I've endured YEARS of pain cycles, triggered by either exercise, stress or some unknown cause. My pain would be a combination of dull ache, pulsed pain, ice-pick stabbing and stiffness, with discomfort high, about a 9 on a scale of 1-10, lasting several days. I've been getting the laser tissue, back decompression and manual adjustments at the clinic for the past year, which have provided huge improvement in my condition. But the other day, I tried shockwave treatment on that hip and it was transformative. The treatment lasted maybe 5-7 min on the area, beginning with some cool gel, then the wand being passed over repeatedly. The only sensation I felt at level 8 (on scale that goes up to 12) was a very brief rubber-band snap. In the days since my first shockwave treatment, I've NO redness, bruising, tenderness, or pain of ANY kind. Stiffness is nearly gone. The first night, I was able to sleep on my affected hip side with NO pain - first time in months. The next day, I had a very mild sensation of tissue massage? But the overwhelming feeling has been one of utter RELEASE. No sharp pain, no dull ache, no ice-pick stabbing. I honestly feel like that right hip has never had a single issue. I will be adding this treatment to my weekly visits. Even if someday I have to have surgery to repair that torn labrum, if I can get back to living, exercising, travel and enjoying life PAIN FREE, it's a game-changer.“

Their knowledge and skills help me to achieve my goals. They continue to think out of the box and help me with my recovery. They have had years of hands on training and I cannot thank them enough. I will continue to work my best with them. I give them FIVE stars each. For those looking for OT. specialists you have found the place.“

“My 8 year daughter met with Dr. Perretto for a hypermobility assessment today. We received a comprehensive 3 hour assessment that involved an extensive physical and functional evaluation. She gave us confirmation of our daughter’s hypermobility and gave us valuable insight on actionable steps we can take to prevent injury and to improve her athletic performance. We are starting targeted physical therapy and are very happy that we finally have a practitioner that understands that medicine is not “one size fits all.”“
