Where do I begin? First, why I did I choose to go to Legacy Medical? I have had back problems for over a year. They started last spring due to a combination of poor posture and heavy lifting. When my back problems originated I began going to a local chiropractor, but after several weeks of treatment nothing changed. I then decided to try a physical therapist, but again after a few months of treatment I did not see much results. I then decided to try a massage therapist that used to work for a professional hockey team and yet again nothing really changed. I then decided to try aquatic therapy which helped however the staff was very unpleasant and treated me more as a statistic than a real person. After many frustrating experiences I just stopped looking for help and tried to control my pain on my own. I am very big into fitness and nutrition and the fact that my injury was cutting into my training put me in such a funk that I thought I would never be able to workout with the same intensity ever again. Since my back injury I started getting neck pain and shoulder pain and I didnt know why I really felt like I was never going to be "normal" again. Around Christmas time of this past year I found an intriguing therapy center which was Legacy Medical. I made an appointment because I figured my situation couldnt get any worse however being the skeptic that I am I didnt expect much. My skepticism changed after my first appointment with Legacy Medical. I was never rushed out of the door, my initial consultation lasted over an hour. I spoke with Dr. Tom Burnett and not once did he overlook or minimalize my problems. For the first time, during my experiences with numerous therapists and chiropractors I felt like I was treated like a real person not a statistic. I started chiropractic treatments and within weeks I started to notice huge differences in the way I felt and my daily function started to improve. Legacy Medical is not the average chiropractic office. They offer numerous types of therapies that no other location in Pittsburgh offers. Legacy Medical offers a regenerative treatment called PRP, I had the treatment done on my shoulder and before the treatment I could not do any weight training, after the treatment within weeks I was back in the gym doing training. My neck pain also kept me up at night worrying on top of the back pain that I would never return to full function again. My neck pain was so problematic that I had a hard time turning my head in class without pain. I received several painless trigger point injections in my neck to relax the muscle spasms that were occurring. I have been going to Legacy Medical for just over 4 months and I truly wish I had discovered them at the onset of my injuries because the unique treatments they offer quite literally changed my life. I am lifting weights again and I am starting to feel normal again. The doctors at the office are very credible and some even work with the Pittsburgh Steelers. However even if you are not injured and want to keep it that way Legacy Medical offers oxygen therapy, laser hair removal and other treatments that previously only world class athletes enjoyed. I highly recommend Legacy Medical Center for anyone who has lost hope due to an injury or wants to prevent injury. The staff just gets it, there isnt another office like this in the Pittsburgh area. You have to experience it to believe it. As I stated previously I am a skeptic and since I have been going to Legacy Medical my skepticism is gone and I truly feel if I did not choose to give Legacy Medical a try than I would still be searching for answers and more importantly not able to exercise. I could write for days on my experience, but they changed my life plain and simple and if you have ever had pain where you felt like returning to normal function seemed impossible than I would strongly suggest calling Legacy Medical Center.

First off let me say Dr. Tom is awesome! Im a Corrections Officer and I was assaulted by an inmate which messed up my lower back. For three months before I went to see Dr. Tom Burnett, I struggled with daily pain to the point where I barely left the house. I would get spasms that would be so painful all I could do was lay in the dark till they went away. Im a single dad as well and wasnt able to do everything I normally could do, luckily my parents were around to help out. Finally after three months of seeing another doctor and doing two months of physical therapy I found Dr. Tom Burnett. Upon meeting Dr. Tom he was extremely nice, and I noticed by his pictures he was ex military, as I was. He came up with a treatment plan and told me within 4 weeks I could get back to modified duty, and within 8 weeks he would get me back to my old self, and when he said this and shook my hand I could tell he was sincere. At the time I went to see him I was having 10-15 lower back spasms that would shoot down to my knees that were extremely painful every single day. After a couple weeks of treatment I could tell noticeable improvement. My spasms were less frequent, and the aching pain was down. After four weeks I feel like Im at about 75%, I feel tons better, I still have a few spasms here and there that are painful, but overall Im amazed. In a matter of 4 weeks he did what other doctor and physical therapy couldnt do, he alleviated alot of pain and maid me feel close to normal again. I never have had back pain before, and when you cant do alot of things you normally do it can be very depressing, on top of that right when I started treatment my Dad passed away unexpectedly so I was getting it from alot of different angles. Even with the sadness I felt, everytime I went in for a visit with Dr. Tom id forget about all that was going on in my life. Dr. Tom is that friendly whether we were reminiscing about our military days or talking sports, he took my mind off things, and he has helped fix my back and has helped make me feel normal again. I highly recommend Dr. Tom as he is a FIVE STAR Doctor. Everyone else who I ran into that worked at Legacy Medical Centers were extremely friendly. EXTREMELY SATISFIED! Thanks Dr. Tom!

Dr. Rob Trager is by far the most mindful chiropractor Ive ever met. He caters to each of his clients needs by learning about their injury or existing problem. He then dissects that problem through a series of questions before ever making an assumption or trying to make a physical adjustment. This might seem like a prerequisite for all chiropractors but from my experiences Ive found most doctors to think "they know the problem" right off the bat. Most doctors will proceed to make claims about your issue when they just met you, they neglect your individual body and often times can hurt you during adjustments. But NOT Dr. Rob!!!!!! To have someone like Dr. Rob who really listens, takes his time, and treats every persons body individually is a godsend. Unfortunately for me I live in Philadelphia and only have the pleasure of seeing Pennsylvanias top chiropractor (Dr. Rob Trager) once every couple months. Dr. Rob has set the standard for his line of work and I hope that anyone reading this has the opportunity to schedule and appointment with him. I cant thank Legacy Medical, Dr. Rob and their great staff enough!!!!! Best of the best, 6 stars out of 5!
