I wish there were more than 5 stars for Dr. Aimee Martell. 10 years ago I developed debilitating pain that shot down my right leg. I went to my general dr who prescribed me pain meds and I was in and out of physical therapy offices for 4 years. I would get better just to cope but I was never my full self. I had so many ultra sound therapy sessions and it would just soften the injury. Finally after years of being on ibuprofen 600mg 3x a day I was “functional” but never living my whole life.
Someone in a random comment mentioned Dr Martell and that she specializes in women’s health and hip low back. I had already spent so much time what did I have to loose?
I saw Aimee every week for 6 months... my husband not happy about the frequency because of the cost thought it was a scam. But finally the need for medication decreased each week. I started seeing her monthly. After that I would see her after each self inflicted injury from a battle dance (jumping splits).
My husband (sees Aimee himself from time to time) now has Aimee’s number of speed dial and threatens me with calling everytime I think about doing something to injury myself. She helped build street in my hip and brought back the stability to keep my hip aligned. And when my sacrum goes wacky after my period she gets all fixed in one session.
A few years ago while in Florida for work. I fell victim to another battle dance split and won but lost because I actually probably tore something. I called Aimee the next day. Long before telehealth was a thing... Aimee evaluated me and gave me a treatment plan to get me back on the road to health.
I saw Aimee again via telehealth post child birth during lockdown and she was able to help me manipulate my sacrum back into alignment and stopped the spasming down my leg.
If it wasn’t for Aimee I would be addicted to some Pain meds miserable and probably wouldn’t have gotten a hold of my health resulting in never having my daughter.... who never sleeps; Dr. Aimee Martel has no control over that, but that which she does... SHE IS AMAZING!
I came to Dr. Aimee with knee pain and a hamstring that was recovering from a tear. On the first day, we discovered the hamstring was stuck in contraction, unable to loosen and relax, and that my patella tendon had already healed but my brain still generated pain. Under Dr. Aimee's guidance, I recovered to full health after several months.
She is honest, caring, and deeply perceptive. I feel lucky to have met her.
