Dr Michael Meersman, DC, MS, ART focuses on the treatment of musculoskeletal injuries, and getting people out of pain and back in control of their daily life. He is certified in Active Release Technique (ART), a soft tissue technique designed to decrease muscle pain and tightness, while increasing range of motion and function.
I have been working with Dr Meersman to complete my recovery from frozen shoulder. By utilizing an array of modalities like the ones offered at the Bannockburn Chiropractic & Sports Injury Center, I have been able to heal much faster than other people suffering from frozen shoulder.
It’s clear when you visit the office that they are up to date on ways to bring natural function back to the body. They have a pilates reformer and an open area for working through exercises. I always leave my appointments with stretches or movements I can do to continue my progress at home.
I feel empowered to take back control of my health and am proud of the work I’ve done to get here. I’ve done acupuncture, dry needling, cupping, hot yoga, physical therapy and chiropractic care.
I also did an interesting treatment called Platelet-Rich Plasma therapy in my doctor’s office. PRP has long been used by physicians to help speed wound healing and treat health issues like arthritis and injuries to muscles, tendons and ligaments. They don’t normally use it for shoulders, but I wanted to give it a try in order to heal my body from the inside out and I personally believe it helped some.
I’m grateful for everyone on my healing team and am super excited for you to learn more about Dr Meerman. In addition to working in the office, he is the team chiropractor for the Chicago Bears. If he can work to help endurance athletes stay well, I know he can help novices like you and me.
