Dixie’s Journey:
Overcoming Injuries and Embracing an Active Life with Minivasive Pain & Orthopedics
At Minivasive Pain & Orthopedics, we believe in empowering patients to reclaim their lives from chronic pain through personalized, minimally invasive care. Dixie’s story is a testament to the lasting relief our expert team provides, helping her navigate multiple injuries over nearly a decade while maintaining her passion for adventure.
Recovering from a Rotator Cuff Injury
Dixie first came to Minivasive almost 10 years ago, seeking treatment for a debilitating rotator cuff injury following surgery. Under the care of our board-certified Orthopedic Extremity Surgeon, Edward Lee, M.D., she embarked on a healing journey focused on restoring full function. Dr. Lee’s integrated approach, combining evidence-based therapies and targeted interventions, allowed Dixie to regain strength and mobility in her shoulder. “I was able to return to the activities I love,” Dixie recalls, highlighting how our comprehensive pain management strategies transformed her recovery.
Conquering Knee Pain
Years later, Dixie faced another challenge: excruciating knee pain that threatened her active lifestyle. Once again, she turned to Minivasive, where our team of specialists crafted a tailored treatment plan. Utilizing minimally invasive techniques, we addressed the underlying issues, enabling her to achieve painless function. This relief was crucial for Dixie, an avid outdoors enthusiast. She dove back into skydiving, indoor tunnel flying, kayaking, and a host of other sports with renewed vigor. “The treatment at Minivasive helped me regain painless function again,” she shares, emphasizing the confidence and consistency of our care.
Relief from Back Pain
Most recently, Dixie experienced severe back pain that an MRI revealed as a double pinched nerve. True to our commitment to efficient, in-office procedures, our interventional pain management experts stepped in. Dr. Lee’s ongoing involvement, alongside our multidisciplinary team, ensured a seamless process. Procedures were performed in a relaxed, supportive environment, prioritizing safety and precision. Dixie notes, “All of my appointments and procedures have been in the office, providing a sense of confidence, safety, and consistency.” Within weeks, she felt significant improvement, allowing her to continue her dynamic routine without interruption.
