Whether you’ve been living with chronic and nagging pain for years or if you’ve recently experienced an acute injury, Airrosti providers help find the root of your pain to provide quick and lasting relief — typically within 3 visits (based on patient-reported outcomes and more than one million injuries treated). Using a combination of conservative manual therapy and personalized at-home rehab exercises, Airrosti has been proven effective at resolving most muscle and joint conditions safely and effectively — with no needles, surgery, opioids, or invasive procedures.
Best of all, most insurance is accepted and a referral is usually not needed to schedule an appointment.
I have been to countless doctors, specialist and physical therapists for my knee injury. No one could help me and they just provided drugs for pain and suggested an eventual surgery. So I was curious but skeptical. My first visit I explained my injury and level of pain. Dr. Balza listened carefully, asked a lot of questions and had me perform some exercises to determine my limitations. He explained myofascial release, and being from a yoga background, it made complete sense to me. It is just simple biomechanics. He started the therapy on the front of my thigh and I would rate the pain level 6 out of 10. I did bruise as expected, but I could tell a difference in how my body felt. I then went to meet with Kristie for additional exercises and stretching with a foam roller. I was taught the exercises and told to do them 2x a day, then return for only two more appointments.
It’s been just over 3 weeks and the dull ache is completely gone, I have more range of movement and less discomfort when doing exercise or daily activities. I realize that I have to continue my exercises (which I have) to build strength and to see continued improvement. I actually love my foam roller now. While I will still follow my orthopedist's advice and my knee will never be perfect, I am thrilled to have received this opportunity and hope it can help others at NKU!
