"Thank you so much for all your help... you are truly an 'Angel on Earth'. You have such a wonderful gift of healing.Thank you Dr. Piska."
"I experienced immediate relief and was able to resume normal activities in a couple of days. After four months of pain and difficult walking, I feel great!"
“I had shingles in a large area... lots of pain for 5 months. After 2 treatments, I have 95% relief, and getting better each day.”
“In 1984 I was involved in a chemical spill while serving the Navy. I was covered head to toe… Navy Corpsmen and doctors determined them to be attacks of sinusitis. The ‘sinusitis’ attacks did not take long [to become] monthly and [last] days at a time.
The headaches continued on their path to take over my life… I spent a month at the Diamond headache clinic and a week at the Mayo Clinic… all they told me was to ‘learn to live with the pain’. The pain became… my life, never going out except to the doctor.
Dr. Piska was different from the long line before her. She tried all treatments… and has been able to do what others have not. I have been able to reduce the pain to miniscule levels, been able to go out into sunshine for hours at a time… [which] I was unable to do for the past 10 years. Thanks to Dr. Piska, I see a normal life ahead of me."
“Before the surgery I was having numbness in my right leg, and pain in my knees and back. After the first day [of surgery] I had a little pain in my back. After the first week I had more relief. After the second week I started lifting heavy items. And since… I have had no pain.”
“My pain was severe for about a month… The first injection I received helped just a little; the second completely eliminated all pain. I am indebted to Dr. Piska for her work.
“I received the [Epidural Steroid] injection on Thursday evening. By the following morning my pain had completely gone away. I would recommend this to anyone with severe lower back pain.”
“The shot gave me immediate relief – it was a miraculous feeling.”
“I have disc degeneration in my neck… some days the pain would be so intense I could not function, and pain killers did nothing. I received one shot and felt better that same day. Now, almost two weeks later the pain is gone.”
“My back pain was so bad I could not get my pants on. Now, no pain… feels like someone rebuilt my back.”
“I have been dealing with severe migraines for years. Medication only helped so much, and I spent my time in my bedroom with blankets over the windows to keep light out. Dr. Piska’s procedure changed my life – I am now headache-free.
“I was having a burning pain on my left thigh... like I had been scalded
. My family physician referred me to Dr. Piska. A few days [after the procedure] I had complete relief. I am so grateful Dr. Piska.”
