Patient Success Story: Carrie J.

Carrie

Anthony and his Wilmette team at React PT helped me completely turn my life around. I came to him after living for 7 years with severe nerve damage and debilitating chronic pain caused by Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS), a potentially incurable condition. I had been in and out of programs before but nothing ever helped. Anthony’s systematic, comprehensive, and holistic approach to treatment finally gave me the tools I needed to start to heal.

This year has been truly transformative and I’m so grateful for Anthony’s work.

In just under a year I went from walking with a crutch and not being able to bear much weight on my leg to going on six-mile hikes in the mountains. My quality of life is higher than I ever thought it could be. Anthony truly listens to me and uses patient-centered care in all our treatments. His encouragement, patience, expertise, and confidence helped put me on a path to full healing and recovery.

I have a quality of life that I never thought possible and am so grateful he [Anthony] believed in me and gave me the tools to heal, recover, and rebuild.
