One of the best decisions I've ever made regarding my health was to seek non-invasive solutions to my shoulder pain. I was aware of ultrasound being used to break up kidney stones and I remembered it being used to stimulate healing when I had rotator cuff surgery on my right shoulder after a serious injury. So I thought, 'why not try it instead of surgery' or injections on my left shoulder? After six weeks of once weekly treatments and some physical therapy, my shoulder is back to normal. I only experience pain or fatigue after a workout, which is how it should be. I'm so grateful to Dr. Ly for saving me from painful injections and life-altering surgery.
Thank you, Lenore, for sharing your positive experience! We are thrilled to hear that our Shockwave Therapy and non-invasive treatments have made such a significant difference in your shoulder pain and overall health. Your gratitude towards Dr. Ly is greatly appreciated, and we wish you continued success on your recovery journey!

I've been visiting Ativa Pain & Spine Center for 4 months now due to lower back pain in L4/L5 region of spine. As a weight lifter I put lot of stress on my lower and upper back. I am now able to lift without pain and nioss of strength. Dr. Ly takes x-rays at the premises and reviews them with you in detail. I never feel rushed and each visit Dr Ly follows up on current progres with lower back pain or other issues. I am always attended to within 5 min. The staff is wonderful and efficient at scheduling and accomodating shedule changes. I highly recommend Ativa to anyone with back pain.

I’ve seen a couple chiropractors and I’m a big guy and I felt like they couldn’t get into my muscle deep enough for the adjustment to be effective, but Dr. Ly gets in deep and I feel his adjustments last longer and I feel better throughout the week. His assistant Mrs. Bustos is great also and always greets you warmly. Dr. Ly also has some pretty cool massage beds that are great! I really feel like they take their time with you here and that I’m getting the best possible care!
Thank you for your wonderful feedback, C Escobar! We're thrilled to hear that Dr. Ly's adjustments and the care from Mrs. Bustos have made such a positive impact on your experience.
