My daughter Alexis had battle back issues for over a year and tried everything from meds, the chiropractor, stretching, rest, etc. It was not until we met with Courtney Scott that Alexis felt someone "finally understood" her and what she was going through. Being a gymnast, and Courtney understanding the sport, she instantly had credibility with my daughter when they were talking the lingo of a gymnastics. More to the point, she got to know my daughter by visiting with her and listening to her. Thanks to Courtney Scott's help Alexis is participating again and having a very enjoyable senior season! - Mark W.
Last year I suffered a disc herniation that caused pinching at the C5-6 level. I experienced considerable pain and began to lose function through my right arm and trap. I came to TRIA after repeated frustrations with different health care providers. Courtney Scott listened to me and provided excellent but straightforward feedback. She understood that exercise and recreation were important to me, and did not try to minimize that importance the way other providers had. Prior to meeting with her, I was very concerned about my quality of life. While we hoped that surgery would be avoidable, I ultimately needed a fusion at the cervical level previously indicated.
Even though I needed to go through a different provider for the operation, I’ve always felt that her efforts and demeanor were the best I experienced. She made me feel so much better about the situation. But she listened to that and then responded the right way. That’s what good providers do. Since that time, I committed myself to learning more about spine and spine health.
Since the fusion, I am back to lifting heavy, playing softball, and playing basketball often. Things are good. I just wanted to drop a long overdue note her way to say thank you. - Sam B.
After being rear ended by a repeat drunk driver and having continuing neck/back pain, I had my first appointment at TRIA with Courtney Scott. Courtney and all the staff at TRIA provided tremendous care - from the first floor reception desk directing me where to go, to the nurses, x-ray tech's, and the follow up care recommended. Thanks so much! -Mike W., Chaska, MN
