San Diego Pain Treatment & Injury Repair

I was suffering for months with a tennis elbow type of pain. I use weights when exercising, a mouse when drawing on the computer, and I carry heavy samples for my job. I need to be able to use this arm! Dr. Lathrop treated me with his devise and releaved the pain. It took several times before the pain was minimised, and a bit of rest to relieve my discomfort. Much gratitude!

I had dislocated my right pinky complete due to sports and after being relocated the doctors said it would take 4 – 5 weeks to heal.
About 4 days after that I went to visit Dr. Lathrop and got treated for the next 4 days straight. and a little over a week later I was back in the gym lifting again and after two more treatments at about 2 weeks I was completely healed except for a little stiffness in the finger, however I was able to participate in spring training for my football team Approx. 12 days after the injury occurred, no problems at all.
Definitely recommend paying a visit to Dr. Lathrop!

I’ve been playing baseball since I was four years old and I’m now in my 50’s. Playing baseball is my favorite recreational pastime. In January 2011 I suffered an injury that was later diagnosed and confirmed (through an MRI) as a torn labrum. While I wasn’t in pain for my day-​to-​day activities, this injury prevented me from playing baseball. I was told that I needed surgery to repair it.
I’ve always believed that surgery is a LAST resort. So I was determined to exhaust all other options first. Fortunately I met Dr. Lathrop and he provided me with a viable alternative to surgery.
I decided to give Dr. Lathrop’s treatment a try. I was both very skeptical and hopeful. After a few treatments my skepticism grew because I didn’t see much improvement — though Dr. Lathrop was assuring me that the injury was healing.
We finally reached the stage where there was significant improvement in my range of motion but I was still experiencing pain when I tried throwing a baseball. Thinking that the treatment had failed (my only criteria for success was that I would get back on the baseball field) I decided to get another MRI and go to an orthopedic surgeon so he could «fix me.»
To my surprise, the orthopedic surgeon said that he could see no evidence of the initial tear and that the reason I was still feeling pain was because I had «frozen shoulder.» He then recommended I do some physical therapy to address this new condition.
After a few months of doing the physical therapy, I was able to get back on the baseball field. I even played in a tournament last October and the shoulder responded great.
I highly recommend to anyone who is considering surgery to first see Dr. Lathrop. Chances are that you will save a lot of pain, time and money in your rehabilitation.

Dr. Lathrop is great. I went to him with a back injury that I have had a few years and that I had tried chiropractic and massage with. Got temporary relief but nothing permanent. I gave Dr. Lathrop a try and went to him 3x a week for a month and now I am pain free. I injured my shoulder as well and the next day went to see Dr. Lathrop and it was healed.
