And Austin is a patient from New Richmond, Ohio. Austin (A): Yes. Dr: What is that? About a 45-minute drive? A: Yep, about 45. Yep. 45-minute drive. Dr: Awesome. Good. And Austin consulted our office for a condition called hiatal hernia. So, let’s just go over your history little bit. How long have you had the hiatal hernia? A: I would say probably about a year to a year and a half is how long I had it, and it was very, very hard to live with. Dr: And then you say, when you say, “Very hard to live with,” like what was your primary symptom, Austin? A: Heartburn, mostly acid reflux was really bad, indigestion, you know just a lot of stuff. Dr: Right and on a 1 to 10 scale, 10 being the worst, where would you rate your hiatal hernia symptoms before the treatment? A: Before the treatment? Dr: Yes, before. A: Probably about an 8 or a 9. Dr: Okay, and that was for a year. Okay, so I met you two weeks ago, right? A: Right. Dr: Okay, and then just because a lot of patients don’t understand what I do. So, let’s just walk them through what we did. So, you came in as a new patient and your experience. Just start from basically point one on the first treatment day. Tell them what I did and how you felt. A: Okay. Well, the first day was very sore, very sore afterwards. I felt very sore. But um, I felt after the first day that you know, I was I already started feeling a little bit better after the first day. Dr: Right. A: So, basically, I came in. Dr: You came in daily, right? A: Yeah, daily. Five days that week. I came in and I get the electric on my back. Dr: Right. A: I don’t know exactly what that’s called. Dr: Electrical muscle stimulation. A: Yes, I go on the roller table. And then you adjust me first with my back and then you break down on the hernia. Push it down. Dr: Yes, A: and like I said, it’s very painful but very worth it. Yeah. Very. Dr: Like so you would say it’s worth it, like for sure? A: For sure. Yeah. For sure. Dr: Okay. Awesome. Good and on a 1 to 10 scale. So now Austin’s this is his second week here. Where would you rate your pain right now when you’re sitting here right next to me? A: 1 to 10? Dr: 1 to 10. You started at 8 or 9. Right now as we speak, how are you doing? A: After about two weeks, I’m down to about a 2 or a 3. Dr: That’s wonderful. Good. Awesome. Great. And then lastly, would you recommend this procedure to anyone suffering from hiatal hernias? A: 100% because nobody should have to go through this. I mean, it’s just, it’s just not the way to live your life because it just takes a damper on everything, everything you try to do. I mean you can’t just get fully invested to it because you just you don’t feel 100%. Dr: Right. Absolutely. And how old are you? A: 20 years old. Dr: So, 20 years old. So, just think if you would have had to live with this for the next 10, 15, 20 years. A: Man, that’d be brutal. Dr: Yeah, but you don’t anymore, right? A: No, sir. Dr: Alright. Well, congratulations. A: Thank you very much. Dr: You’re very welcome.   For more information: Hiatal Hernia Relief Treatment Hiatal Hernia Relief Treatment Patient Testimonials To speak with us about your condition, call 513-561-2273 or schedule an appointment.
