I want to say thank you to Heather because I have seen three rheumatology doctors for my pain issue with my hand. When I came to see her I was skeptical about my pain going away. Heather place a steroid shot in a different area then the other three doctors previously, and due to where the shot was placed I'm doing much better and have more movement with my hand. Also I have no pain in my hand. Thank you so much Heather

But she did explain to me what the problem was & it could be improved with PT. She also told me that PT would educate me on how to exercise after Improving the misalignment.
