Is Dr. Sherry's program strictly PT? My daughter spent two weeks in the Pittsburgh hospital going through that, but it didn't help at all. Is Dr. Sherry's program the same as Pittsburgh's?

Prior to treatment my daughter suffered from extreme pain (mainly her back, shoulders, and neck) sometimes soo bad that she had bouts of global transient amnesia, sensitivity to touch, headaches so bad she was unable to speak. She was unable to attend school and participate in any physical activity. As of today, thanks to Dr. Sherry's program, her pain is minimal if any, she's returned to sports (back to playing basketball & ran a 5K early this month)!  Never give up hope! If you're unable to go to Philadelphia, I'm certain that someone in his office will offer contact information if there's another physician following his protocol closer to you.
You can speak to someone in Dr. Sherry's office by calling 215-590-7234. |
