TLC Sports Medicine

I've seen Dr. Tirsch on two different occasions. In 2020, he made my sciatica go away after only a handful of treatments. Most recently, I had reconstructive knee surgery on March 28, 2024. After being bedridden most of the day for nearly three months, my sciatica returned. My back hurt and I had numbness and tingling in both feet. Once again, Dr. Tirsch made me feel better. But Dr. Tirsch and his excellent staff--Gabriel, Andrea, and Angelica--also helped tremendously in my knee recovery. I was recovering slower than my HMO thought I should be (which I attribute to the HMO's physical therapy plan, which allowed only one visit per week for half an hour, with no hands-on treatment and no modalities). Dr. Tirsch looked at my knee and came up with a therapy plan that included various techniques, including manual work and Shockwave sessions. After three months, I added 20 degrees of range of motion, which got me back on track toward regaining my full range of motion. The injury has a year-long estimated recovery, and the final degrees of range of motion have to be earned in the gym. But I honestly believe I would not be where I am without Dr. Tirsch, Gabriel, Andrea, and Angelica. The last thing I'll say is that this office is full of positive, caring people. They are friendly and genuinely happy to see you. They listen to you when you tell them your symptoms at your appointments. And they really care about you as a person. This positivity helped me mentally, too, as I was really struggling to deal with a very serious knee injury. I highly recommend TLC--they live up to their name.
