He knows what he's talking about. When I come in with a pain, he has an exercise or stretch or tool that addresses it. I'm very pleased with the results.

I've had dry needling and cupping done elsewhere, but none did it nearly as well as Calvin. This is the most effective treatment I've ever had.

Calvin is great; he was the main reason I healed fast last year from my frozen shoulder problem. That is why I scheduled him as my therapist for the osteoarthritis problem this year.

He has such a winning combination of expertise and knowledge, as well as the ability to educate and motivate. There were two tools used that really made a difference in my healing that I've never had the opportunity to experience before the cupping and dry needling. I was very hesitant to try these, but Calvin encouraged me and I'm so glad I did. I know it's up to me to keep practicing and refining the skills that I've used. Calvin has left the door open for me if I struggle or have an injury he's willing to help get me going again.

Calvin provided excellent care on all levels. He completed a very thorough assessment when I presented for therapy. He asked my goals. He provided education about why a course of care and education would be needed and explained what to anticipate. He helped me understand multiple options that could be incorporated into my life. He utilized techniques that I'd not tried before that helped me make measurable and meaning progress. It is truly inspirational to see progress when I had not been able to make Sustainable changes for some time. He offered encouragement as well.

Calvin is amazing! I have scoliosis and have struggled with neck pain and migraines for most of my life. He is the first PT I have been to that does dry needling and cupping. It has been a miracle for me! He is also very kind and easy to talk to. Thank you Calvin!

External Professional Relationships

Pharmaceutical, device, and biotechnology companies frequently collaborate with basic scientists and physicians within an academic medical center to help advance science and improve patient care. These relationships are important in achieving scientific breakthroughs and in establishing the effectiveness and safety of promising new therapies. In order to assure objectivity in clinical research and patient care, the Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine (Feinberg), Northwestern Memorial HealthCare, Children's Hospital of Chicago Medical Center, and the Shirley Ryan AbilityLab have adopted integrity policies that require research and clinical faculty (in full-time, part-time, and unpaid/voluntary categories) to report compensated and uncompensated external industry relationships. Patients are encouraged to discuss these disclosures with their physician as well as to inquire as to how these relationships are overseen by Feinberg.
