Reviews of Spinal Dynamics of Wisconsin (Physiotherapist)

Katherine Baker

I've been in and out of PT for years, and this was the best physical therapy experience I've ever had. For years, I just thought I had back and shoulder pain, but no one ever took the time to figure out why. Spinal Dynamics diagnosed my scoliosis. There is a history of extreme and detrimental scoliosis in my family, so I was happy to be made aware of my issue so I can better take care of myself and monitor the situation moving forward. The therapists are all so knowledgeable and compassionate, and really take their time with patients. It was unlike any other PT I've experienced. Whereas other therapists kind of set you on a machine and walk away, the team at spinal dynamics guide you through each session with personalized, attentive care. They offered me not only great pain relief, but also taught me lots of strengthening exercises, stretches, and practical strategies for improving my trajectory and quality of life. Thank you, thank you! I can't recommend this place enough.

I've had a couple of appointments with Colleen, a physical therapist at Spinal Dynamics. She is professioal and has helped me physically. I have another appointment in a couple of days.

This is my second experience with Spinal Dynamics, separated by ten years. They specialize in spinal issues; I was first referred to them by an orthopedist who also specializes in spine problems. The physical therapists I worked with did a great job of quickly diagnosing the problem, explaining the issues, and treating the problem with a variety of techniques. I found it to be a very positive experience. In the health insurance nightmare we’re in the middle of now (very restricted networks, very high deductibles, and difficulty getting pre-approvals), I greatly appreciated being able to pay a reduced rate out of pocket. As a physician myself I know how important it is to go to a good health care provider - they’re not all the same. Good option for someone who doesn’t want to be constrained by their insurance.

I am seeing Matt Kinkade for back pain related to scoliosis. I also have generalized joint hypermobility, migraines, neck pain, hip pain and a leg length discrepancy. Matt is able to adapt my care plan taking all of these things into account simultaneously, and I've never had a PT that could accomplish that before. He is a wealth of knowledge and in fact, has so many thoughts about things that you can see him thinking faster than he's even able to communicate them. Aside from Matt's incredible care, I really like Spinal Dynamics as a group. As a self-pay patient they have made out of pocket costs standardized and affordable. I have the flexibility to come as frequently as my budget permits including the option to come every 2 weeks, to come for shorter less expensive visits, etc. They were also very understanding about rescheduling on a day when a migraine would have kept me from getting the most out of my session. As a scoliosis patient I'm so happy to have found a place in the Milwaukee metro area that specializes in spine care and a PT who is able to adapt the care plan to all of my physical issues. Thanks so much!

After visiting different physical therapy clinics throughout my life for various rehabilitations, I can confidently state, without hesitation, that Spinal Dynamics is hands down the best. Working with Physical Therapists who are at the top of their respective fields has been both enjoyable and rewarding. More specifically, I have had the pleasure of working with two exceptional Physical Therapists: Cheryl Timmer and Christine Sena. Words cannot describe how much they helped me recover, not only quickly, but also with tremendous care, patience, and perseverance. I cannot recommend a better organization nor give high enough praise to Spinal Dynamics and its incredible staff. Thank you all.

Excellent clinic. Knowledgeable and compassionate staff.

Marvin Suson

John has been very methodical and helpful in his therapy. I'm regaining range of motion and flexibility quickly.

Julie R

To date I have been seen twice, and both times had a very positive experience. I saw Meg the first time and Matt the second appointment, and liked them both very much. I felt very comfortable with them, and very confident in them. They both were very knowledgeable. I feel a whole new sense of hope for some long standing physical issues I have been dealing with (scoliosis and TMJ). The front office staff has also been wonderful...very pleasant, and they always return my calls.

I brought my 87 yr. old Mom in for spinal stenosis therapy after her surgeon decided surgery was not an option. She also has mild scoliosis and old fractures. It is hard work for her, but the difference is noticeable, and is definitely contributing to a better quality of life. The staff is so very supportive. Cindy Marti has put together an exceptional team that truly stands out from others we have seen. I was so impressed, I turned to them for Body Dynamics work on my shoulder and arm. Dry Needling, soft tissue work and exercises are calming and restorative. Hurts like the devil, but it works. I have learned so much about the circle of pain and depression. As a caregiver, I focused on my Mom's issues, ignoring my own. So many thanks to Cindy, Peter and to John for sorting us both out. And to Heather and Chris for their great administrative support and constant smiles.

Paul Sbragia

Matt does an incredible job with reliving my pain and tightness in my shoulders with dry needling. It has changed my life by getting rid of pain in my neck, arm and hands.

Paul Nausieda

The key to therapy is identifying the underlying problem. As a physician I am impressed by the thorough evaluation that precedes the treatment suggestions. This is the place to go to for successful treatment outcomes

Dorothy Fare

Great Place. The therapists really work with you to improve your well being. i am so glad my physician referred me. I feel so much better.

Don Kirst

Thank you Spinal Dynamics for making the recovery from 3 different surgeries very successful. The final outcome has been fantastic, as if the surgeries had never happened. Will go back every time I need PT.

Mary Neubauer

Cheryl Timmer, PT, MS, O.C.has worked with me for over 30 years to rehab my extremities following surgeries and injuries. I see John Hojnacki, DPT for chronic neck issues and headaches. After my last knee replacement I saw Cindy Marti, PT to address my leg length discrepancy. Spinal Dynamics and Body Dynamics is my house of healing. They have the most caring team in town.

Jan Dobbs

I am an occupational therapist who fell into the trap of thinking I could self-diagnose and treat my cervical and upper back pain. The problem was my background is neurorehabilitation and I am by no means a spine specialist. I now understand that some of the exercises and yoga postures I was doing were aggravating my symptoms. The physical therapists at Spinal Dynamics of Wisconsin are highly skilled and have developed advanced competence in treating upper and lower back conditions. They started with a comprehensive physical examination to understand the underlying causes of my symptoms and then expertly helped me to grade my activities to break my pain cycle and strengthen my muscles to help me manage my symptoms. I have degenerative disk and vertebral changes and the therapist who worked with me taught me 'new rules' to follow and exercises to manage my symptoms. The exercises have helped a great deal. I still have days when I break my 'new rules', but on those days I no longer experience excessive pain. After stretching and performing a few exercises I've been able to manage my symptoms. What was also helpful was I was able to see the same therapist for each appointment so the continuity of care was exceptional. This is important to me since I did not have to 'retell' my story to move on to the next phase of my treatment. Thank you Spinal DynamicsI I sincerely appreciate all that you taught me.

Cindy is great. It was a pleasure working with her over the last number of months!

Mary Hughes

I went to Spinal Dynamics and saw Matt for my PT . He worked out problems with my back and spine. I also was given excerisis which really help . We also worked on my posture, which made a difference . If you are a senior like I am you’re never to old to learn .

Karin Vetrano

The therapists are incredibly talented and caring. Top notch! I’ve seen Matt recently for PT on my neck and his approach with dry-needling has solved my flare-ups within a few appointments. I highly recommend Matt and all the PTs at Spinal Dynamics!!

Molly Haugh

This place is super duper awesome! All of the staff is very welcoming and polite, and are always helpful at answering any questions I have. My PT Colleen is amazing, and I would recommend her and Spinal dynamics to anyone with any issue that could be solved or eased with physical therapy.

Craig Blawat

Spinal Dynamics offer the full array of physical therapy that could not even be gotten at Froedert's Spine Institute

David Greif

Spinal Dynamics has been so incredibly helpful in getting me back on my road to recovery. John has been able to diagnose and treat a lower back problem that I've been suffering from while I compete at a professional level. Thankfully I'm looking forward to being able to get back on track with my performance!

S Berg

I've seen both Lauren and Cheryl for PT for both my knee replacements and they know their stuff! 6 months since my last TKR and I'm almost back to normal! They push but in a way that motivates you to do the homework so that you continue to make progress. I highly recommend any of the PTs at Spinal Dynamics!

Bonnie Porter

Everyone in the office is extremely professional and welcoming. The office setting is pleasantly attractive and relaxing. John Hojnacki is amazing! He is very patient and extremely compassionate. John takes the time to explain what is happening to my body and what we will work on to gain strength. He helps to set the goal and makes me want to achieve it!! John listens and truly wants to know what is physically going on with me between visits. I appreciate the way he shares his knowledge so I am in complete understanding of what has happened and in turn it gives me a sense of relief from worrying. John resonates confidence to me that I will get stronger and be active again but not to hurry the process. I am ever so grateful to be in his care.

Evelyn Wessel

I feel Colleen is very good at how she analyses my condition. She also communicates well and describes where my problem areas are and how to correct them thru exercise to ease the pain and discomfort. She added tips on body posture and movement to help with everyday tasks. She also gives a detailed print out description of how to do the various exercises at home, which I appreciate. She is a very gentle and caring therapist and really wants to help you get back into as good a condition as possible. So far it has been a very positive experience.

William Clark

An incredible place for physical therapy!!! They diagnosed my problem and immediately set forth a comprehensive plan specifically for me. I hobbled in for a shoulder injury and after my treatments I left without any pain. My pain has never returned. I contribute it all to the great therapists at Spinal Dynamics. I recommend it for any injury and for those of any age. Wow! Top notch!!

Tony Steiner

I have had four occasions to work with Chrissy Sena at Spinal Dynamics and each treatment program has been successful and thoroughly satisfying. Chrissy combines her expansive technical knowledge, her years of experience and her empathetic and caring heart and applies them to partner with her patients to deliver effective care and healing. The Spinal Dynamics facility is top notch and the entire staff is friendly and helpful. Knowing that the Spinal Dynamics team will be there when I need them is reassuring. I recommend Spinal Dynamics regularly to family and friends and highly recommend them to anyone needing physical therapy.

Juleen Jaeger

I have been a patient off and on at Spinal Dynamics since Cindy first opened the door! I am in aw of all of the people who work with and for her! It is an awesome staff. I just finished a round of PT on 7/22/15 and worked with Cindy and Matt. I love them both. Dry needling has been my savior and I'm so glad I said: "Yes!" to the procedure. Since I have visited often, the staff has made it easy to return when I need help. Spinal Dynamics is my one and only choice for therapy of any kind. Hope the move to your new home goes well. I look forward to seeing all of you there. Thank you so much for all the help you have given me!!!!!

Mark P Chandler

Have been to many PT places over the years. Most other places spend only a portion of your appointment time with you, while they are "working" and "juggling" other patients routines along with yours. This is BOGUS. At Spinal Dynamics, you spend every minute with the therapist. Range of motion measurements are recorded to chart the trend in your recovery. If muscle kneeding, message, manipulation, pulling and elongating the muscles is required, you will get it. They will give you all the exercises you need, and show you the correct form. They don't "waste" your whole session with you DOING THE EXERCISES while they do something else! (Thats for home, on your clock!!!) My first experience was with Cindi for back issues, and was so impressed I came back when I had rotator cuff surgery. Cheryl has been wonderful to work with on my shoulder. Forget the big box chain places,......you will be getting much less care, and your recovery will take four times longer.

Linda Hordyk

Having a long history of chronic pain, I felt that I would have to spend the rest of my life this way. When referred to Spinal Dynamics I felt that I should try physical therapy, as I have tried everything else. Working with Cindy and Meg has been very educational. They both know so much about the body and how all the muscles work. They are extremely pleasant and knowledgeable. I feel so comfortable with my treatment plan and look forward to my visits. I have gone from hopeless to hopeful that I will not have to live with so much pain in my life. I am truly grateful.

Everyone is polite and kind. My experience with my physical therapist - Matt - has been wonderful. He listens, cares, and has helped me so much.

Annabelle Havlicek

Finding Spinal Dynamics Has Been a Blessing

Eric Lundberg

Meg is great; really appreciate the whole staff. I’ve had better results in 4 visits than the previous years of work elsewhere

Paula Patoka

I have been helped at Spinal Dynamics for years. From surgeries to various aches and pains. My physical therapist, John, has always done a fantastic job on relieving my pain and getting me on my feet again. He has done dry needling on me when I've had various issues and always had success. I continue to go to Spinal Dynamics because of the relief I have received. I've been to other places and they don't come close to the treatment here. I have paid out of my pocket because my insurance didn't cover it. I wanted to get it right the first time instead of wasting my time at other places that don't measure up. John takes the time to actually figure out where the pain is coming from and going to. Spinal Dynamics takes the steps necessary to get you back on your feet again.

Kristen Tym

I am so grateful to Spinal Dynamics Body Dynamics and the amazing Lauren! I was in a lot of pain with a pinched nerve and feeling hopeless. As soon as I called and was greeted with a willingness to help, I knew I made the right call. I was seen the same day and Lauren spent an hour with me to understand my issue and develop a plan. I felt so much better physically and emotionally when I left that day!

Kathy Hartman

The team at Spinal Dynamics are the ultimate pro's in back knowledge. Not only am I feeling better after just a few visits, but they are teaching me long-term solutions that will improve the health of my back and my mobility for years to come. I would highly recommend them.

Adam Ver Kuilen

I have been here for knee and back problems and have been very happy with their care, knowledge, and the results that I've received. Excellent therapists work here!
