As a physician treating sports injuries and musculoskeletal disorders, I find Dr. Schragen’s treatments to be extremely beneficial to the recovery and long-term health of my patients. -Dr. John Shumko, M.D., Ph.D., Saint Barnabas Ambulatory Care Center, Medical Director.

I am a power lifter who came to Dr. Schragen with frozen shoulder and biceps tendonitis.  Dr. Schragen explained the treatment would be myofascial release and laser therapy to the affected areas. I was amazed that within 5 sessions I had regained full range of motion in my shoulder and my bicep tendonitis was gone.  I continue to see Dr. Schragen for all my overuse injuries. -Mark P.

About 18 months ago, I severely tore my right hamstring in multiple locations, including where the hamstring attaches to the lower back.  My treating physician referred me to Dr. Schragen to treat the back pain and hip dislocation that resulted from the weakened condition of my hamstring.  Dr. Schragen was incredible- he not only treated my back and hip, he also developed an exercise and strength training program to keep my back strong and minimize the debilitating discomfort that I had been experiencing.  Dr. Schragen not only treated my immediate injuries, but most importantly, has partnered with me to manage the care required for living with a permanent injury. -Rebecca W.

When I first went to see Dr. Schragen, it was for lower back and hip pain from constantly lifting my children. I was amazed; I felt relief after just a few visits.  So when Dr. Schragen explained that he could treat my elbow tendonitis, bursitis, and carpel tunnel syndrome, I was all for it.  Within 6 weeks, I was fully recovered and rehabilitated. What I really like about Dr. Schragen is he listens to find the root causes of your problems and not just the symptoms.  He then educates you about the things that you can do to strengthen your problem areas…a complete rehabilitative approach! -Anabela R.

I suffered a lower back injury while shoveling in the yard.  My x-ray’s and MRI were negative for any structural damage, but I continued to experience severe lower back pain and muscle tension.  After 7 months of pain relievers, physical therapy, muscle relaxers and anti-inflammatories, my physiatrist recommended Dr. Schragen.  I was skeptical at first after trying so many other treatments, but after one or two visits, the soreness on my spine was almost completely alleviated. -Alan B

I am a competitive track athlete.  I went to see Dr. Schragen because of severe lower back pain that only occurred while running.  Dr. Schragen designed a program to stretch and strengthen my affected muscles.  Within 3 weeks, I was back to running long distance pain free.  Not only do I feel better, I was able to enhance my performance.  Thank you, Dr. Schragen. -Chris H.

 I was diagnosed with a herniated disc and pinched nerves in my neck, so I was skeptical that I could get relief from anything other than surgery.  Within a few months, I felt great relief.   Thank You, Dr. Schragen: you completely changed my life. -Christina K.
