Twenty-seven-year-old attorney and patient at PT Solutions of Cartersville, Zach Pritchard, began physical therapy after being diagnosed with an L4/L5 disc herniation.

Before walking into PT Solutions two months ago, Zach suffered from low back pain due to the injury he sustained last year. His injury inhibited him from maintaining his active lifestyle: “It was an extremely debilitating injury,” Zach explains. “Sometimes injuries can really change the course of your life, especially being as active as I was.”

Instead of letting his condition worsen, Zach took matters into his own hands: he began physical therapy with Shelly Sperl, PT, at PT Solutions.

Post-injury, Zach’s range of motion was greatly limited, and he could no longer enjoy his favorite hobbies, like golf, going to the gym, and being outdoors. Manual therapy and an individualized treatment program allowed Zach to return to his normal life and activity level.

After two months of therapy, Zach is on the way to full restoration of his normal life and is now able to enjoy sports and being outdoors.
