Karl J. Sheaffer, PT

Wow, Dr. Sheaffer fixed my painful bulging disk on the first visit! Him as well as his wife are very nice and welcoming. I felt like he really listened to what was going on with me and fixed the problem overnight. Very grateful and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you again Dr. Sheaffer!

Dr. Sheaffer is excellent. He has treated my entire family. He is experienced and knows how to treat the problem. After I moved away from the area, it is still worth the one hour drive to see him. Highly recommend.

My story started about 8 months ago, with knee pain which gradually effected my entire right leg. My efforts to resolve this problem included my primary care physician, two orthopedic surgeon's, a cortisone injection in my knee, prescription anti-inflammatory medications, OTC pain relievers and various topical creams, ice packs, two sets of x-rays, followed by weeks of physical therapy, a referral to a neurologist, two kinds of nerve medication and a painful nerve test, called an EMG. Furthermore, there was discussion of further testing including an MRI. During all this, I never received a definitive diagnosis! I was totally frustrated! A friend suggested Karl Sheaffer, whom I called the following morning, explained my situation, and was given an appointment later that same day. During my visit Karl asked questions, and then examined my knee, observed me walking and said simply "your knee is out of alignment, I can adjust that for you." After months of pain and suffering, could it possibly be that simple? Yes! As stunning as it my seem, yes! Karl adjusted my knee and treated me for a couple of weeks. I am well on my way to a complete recovery, and am very thankful to Karl Sheaffer. Vincent DiCicco

We refer to Dr. Schaeffer as "the miracle worker". Whether it was with my cross country running daughters with knee or SI joint problems, or my husband with "tennis elbow", or me with what my doctor diagnosed as a "pulled muscle", Dr. Schaeffer has always been able to assess and pinpoint the issue. Then he starts his magic. Unfortunately, when I was diagnosed with tennis elbow, my doctor said that no matter what I did, it would be 6 months until it was feeling normal again, and I listened to him. Years later, my husband went to Dr. Shaeffer with the same issue and was feeling normal again in 2 weeks, the difference being proper treatment and exercises. Most recently, my doctor said I had a "pulled muscle" when I was having pain in my right lower back/hip area. After two weeks with no resolution, I went to Dr. S and he diagnosed an SI joint issue, adjusted that, and put me on an exercise routine. I was feeling better in 2 weeks, and normal in a month. Everyone I've referred to him has been thrilled with the care, professionalism and results.

Karl is the best; he gave me back my life! I had chronic neck pain that required me to be on two different medications daily to function. I saw several doctors who sent me for numerous scans, x-rays, MRI's and finally to pain management specialists. I was told I could have surgery or injections to ease my pain, I wasn't interested in either. I was also told that without surgery, I would have the chronic pain the rest of my life. A good friend referred me to Karl, and after several visits with adjustments, stretching and strengthening exercises; my pain subsided and eventually became non-existent. The medications went in the garbage and I had my life back....I wouldn't go to anyone else or refer anyone but Karl. He provides a no-nonsense approach, in a personal setting, providing excellent one on one care!

I highly recommend going here. The Doctor treats you here, not a different person every time, like at one of the big Physical Therapy places. Nothing but the best PT here! I've been coming here, since the practice opened. Always courteous, professional, and outstanding service. Thank you Dr. Sheaffer and Cindy!

Karl is an extremely knowledgeable and caring physical therapist. Through the years, my family has often relied on Karl's experience and expertise to properly diagnose and treat injuries.

Karl Sheaffer, PT provided great care with my recent visits. He turned my back and sciatica into a memory of the past. A big, big thank you.
