I have already spread the word about needling to several of patient who have back pain issues similar to mine. And how to have access to Calvin who can assess how tight their back muscles are and contribuling to nerve pain. What a lifesaving experience for now. Looking forward to gardening this year. Worked through all kinds of pain last summer to continue my Hobbie.

All of the above…. Plus: Calvin was able to identify exactly where I am (& I’m 67), select stretches & exercises which were doable, effective & reasonable. You get no sense that I’m a typical patient with a routine treatment. Everything he does & says feels absolutely personal & therefore effective & efficient. He’s both positive & encouraging while making sure I understand what is possible & how much time it takes. He makes it enjoyable. .

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.
