The Road to Recover Runs Through ISSR in Olney, Md Any injury to an athlete is problematic; a severe injury can end a career. In my case, years of officiating intense soccer competitions took a toll on my physique, culminating in tears and amassed scar tissue at my achilles tendon. To be brief - I couldnt jog, let alone run or sprint at the pace necessary for todays college matches. The consult of a top tier orthopedic surgeon, one who is the physician of choice for a certain Baltimore NFL team, was that I had 2 options: 1) undergo an accelerated torturous PT regime, or 2) surgery and a year recovery period. Given that option 2 would end my career as a college official, we embarked upon option 1. I am no stranger to chiropractic treatment, so after my research, reviews, and interviews I selected ISSR in Olney, Md. Dr. "Bobby" and his staff were on board with the challenge - I needed to go from a walking boot to successfully completing the strenuous NISOA National Referee physical performance test... in 8 weeks. The commitment of all at ISSR to not merely treat me, but to work with me on a very aggressive program was key to my recovery and subsequent success. Yes, I passed the test, earned my 2016 National Referee credentials, and returned to the college circuit including the NCAA post season tournament. I am not pleased, rather, I am ecstatic. ISSR is not a fountain of youth, and does not profess to work miracles. Such results require the commitment of all parties, starting with the patient - me. I pushed ISSR to push me, and they did. When they said do exercises at home, I did; when they said 20 reps, I did 60. When we had setbacks, Bobby et al had the training and experience to address them without missing a beat in my progress. Periodically, I return to ISSR for a tune-up, chiropractic adjustment, or to address a subsequent injury like a pulled a muscle. In each instance, I back at top form in an expeditious fashion. Like players in high level sports, soccer referees are athletes. We train to perform. When injuries happen, it is imperative that we address them rapidly and competently to return to action. This requires much more than professional medical care - it requires a partner invested in our success. The practitioners at ISSR are my partners. I recommend that you consider them as yours.

Dr. Mozafari and his team have ended 10 years of back pain for me. Over that period, my back pain problem progressed from an ache that was mildly distracting to a constant pain that relentlessly hounded me from the moment I woke up. Anyone who has suffered from back pain understands that it is a unique kind of pain. It distracts you from your daily tasks and robs you of all rational thought. I tried learning about back pain on my own for years before seeing anyone, and my attempts at self-treatment were either ineffective or they made the problem worse. I went to a physical therapy clinic before finding Dr. Mozafari and they didnt identify everything that was going wrong. As a result, my problem didnt get better and I got more frustrated. An online review I read of chiropractors in the area ranked Dr. Mozafari highly, and I liked what the community reviews were saying. I had my initial consultation with Dr. Mozafari and was immediately struck by his no-nonsense attitude. He thoroughly examined me and even had tests done before he gave me a definitive diagnosis. Then I went for regular visits twice a week for almost 3 months, during which time I received a combination treatment of physical therapy and chiropractic adjustments. I was also instructed to do exercises at home twice a day, which I did faithfully. The treatment was intense, but Dr. Mozafari was careful not to progress me to more difficult exercises too quickly. I know I will have to continue doing the exercises for a long time, but after just 3 months I have finally started going entire 24-hour periods pain-free, something which I feared I would never experience again. To me it is almost unbelievable that a problem Ive had for more than 10 years could have gotten better in such a short time. I feel like Ive gotten my old self back.

I highly recommend Dr. Mozafari without reservation. I literally limped, crying, into his office on August 23rd and I am here to report, on December 21st, that I happily walk again without pain. Since 2013 I have had both hips and a shoulder replaced, and had foot surgery in February of this year. I was not recovering well from the foot surgery and not getting better with the typical physical therapy. My second opinion podiatrist recommended dry needling. I found Dr. Mozafari on a web search and Im so glad I did. He used all sorts of different treatments, including adjusting, needling, cupping, and many exercises. He used large muscular and skeletal diagrams to illustrate what he was doing and why. It wasnt a foot problem - my entire body was out of kilter from all the surgeries and arthritis. He was able to see exactly what needed to done each visit by watching how my body moved and where the pain was most prevalant. I began by going 3 days each week, and as I began to feel better I tapered my visits to 2 days, then 1 day each week. I now go once a month. I am so happy to say that going to him was the best decision I could have made. He is totally professional and very personable, his staff is great, and his approach is holistic. I am 61 years old and have been to many doctors, and I can honestly say that Dr. Mozafari has helped me more than any of them.

I would highly recommend Dr. Bobby Mozafari with Integrated Sport, Spine and Rehab to all. I had been experiencing severe hip/leg pain for about 5 years, which was diagnosed as bursitis. The only way I could alleviate the pain was via Motrin and stretching and even that didn’t really take away all the pain. When the pain got to be too much and it was impacting my ability to exercise and function normally on a daily basis I knew it was time to do something. Bobby was recommended to me and I knew of a few others that were going to him. After our first meeting, I knew I met someone who had my best interest in mind. The questions and explanations were very thorough so that he understood my pain and so that he could ensure that I understood the contributing factors as well as his recommended action plan. I appreciate the fact that he didn’t just prescribe more medicine to kill the pain but really looked at everything and began working toward stopping the pain altogether and getting me back into a normal routine. I really do not think I would be where I am today without his help. He creates a safe, comfortable and friendly environment for all of his patients. Everyone is treated as a friend, not just a patient. His care, patience, and complete understanding is what makes him such a great doctor. Thank you for all of your help and support.

Dr. Mozafari is amazing. I first came to him after years of progressively worsening upper back and shoulder pain. It had reached a point where I had nightly burning pain between my shoulders and up into my neck and I was starting to get numbness in my arms and hands. I was eating Advil like candy and causing myself stomach issues. He sent me for an MRI and we found that I had 3 herniated disks in my necks. After three weeks of his therapies, my nightly pain was gone and I realized I was barely using Advil anymore. After 3 months of Dr. Mozafaris physical therapy, dry needling, and chiropractic adjustments, I felt better than I had in years and wasnt taking Advil at all anymore. Dr. M was about to release me, when unfortunately I got into a car accident that brought me about halfway back to where I was. Bobby got my pain back under control in no time, and I have no been released! I am so happy to have found him. Not only is he the best at what he does, he is also just a great guy who makes visits fun! I highly recommend Integrated Sport, Spine & Rehab, and will happily continue to see him for maintenance visits!
