Case Studies
Insights into how we've helped people move, recover, and feel like themselves again.
Israel L. — Chronic Nerve Pain
Israel had been living with nerve pain for months.
He'd seen other practitioners, tried the standard approaches, and kept hitting the same wall.
Nothing was resolving it — just managing it, temporarily, before it came back.
When he came in, the first session was a full assessment. Not a quick screen — a systematic evaluation of what was actually driving the pain and where it was coming from.
Four treatments later, the nerve pain that had followed him for months had diminished to almost nothing. By his sixth session, he was running again.
"As soon as he started to assess my injury, I felt this guy is a real master. After four treatments, the nerve pain I suffered from started to diminish and was almost unnoticeable. I started running again after my sixth treatment — and I still can't believe that Oron knew exactly where to put the effort."

Alaine Abuan — 2nd in World, Judo
For a competitive athlete ranked second in the world, an ACL reconstruction isn't just an injury — it's a threat to everything they've built.
Alaine came in devastated at the idea of surgery and rehabilitation, not knowing whether she'd return to the level she'd worked her entire career to reach.
The programme built for her didn't follow a standard post-surgical template. It was designed around her body, her sport, and her specific performance demands — progressive enough to push her, careful enough to protect her.
She returned to competition. She still uses the work today.
"Oron was fantastic. After careful evaluation, he created a program that pushed me and continuously challenged me while still making my safety a priority. I still incorporate a lot of the exercises I learned from him to this day."

Alicia, Boca Raton
Alicia had been dealing with neck pain that was triggering migraine-level headaches.
She came in having already tried the standard options without lasting relief.
The treatment plan combined targeted manual therapy, dry needling, and a specific home exercise programme.
Within a few weeks, both the neck pain and the headaches were gone.
A year later she returned — this time for lower back pain. She felt better after the first visit.
"In a few weeks the neck pain and headaches were gone. A year later, I went back for lower back pain. I felt so much better after the first visit. I am truly grateful for the care shown for my wellbeing."

Monica P.
Three months after a brachial plexus injury that left her right arm and hand completely paralysed, Monica began treatment.
Her brachial plexus surgeon described the improvement as remarkable.
She recovered almost 100% of her movement.
What made the difference wasn't just the clinical expertise — it was the consistency of care, the thoroughness of the assessment, and the commitment to finding answers even when they weren't immediately obvious.
"The improvement to my shoulder and arm has been remarkable. I have recovered almost 100% of my movement and I attribute it in a big part to him. His thirst for knowledge is contagious — if he doesn't have an answer, he makes sure he finds it."

Gloria S., Boca Raton
Gloria arrived having already visited the emergency room several times.
She had been diagnosed with three herniated discs and sciatica down her left leg.
She was in significant pain and hadn't found anything that gave her lasting relief.
From the first session, the approach was different.
Every session began with a thorough check-in, working through each area of discomfort until relief was found.
The follow-up between sessions — texts, calls to check on progress — reflected a level of commitment she hadn't experienced before.
She walked out of sessions pain-free. Consistently.
"Having had chiropractic treatments in the past, I was consistently impressed by how often I walked out of his office completely pain-free. Oron has not only helped me manage my condition — he has restored my quality of life."

Dr. Jessica Arias Garau, Physician
Dr. Arias Garau came in with a knee injury that was threatening her ability to run.
As a physician who had been referring patients to physical therapy for years, she arrived with a clear-eyed standard for what good care looked like.
Through intensive rehabilitation, she avoided surgery entirely and returned to running marathons in under eight months.
She now refers her own patients.
"As a physician who has been referring patients to physical therapy for many years, I have to say that Oron has been the best of all. I have been able to see positive results with many of my patients in terms of mobility, decrease in pain levels and quality of life improvement."

Ramona Vega
Ramona had been in physical therapy for four years.
Endless appointments, assessments, and treatment plans — none of which had resolved the neck, mid-back, and lower back pain she was living with daily.
She arrived at our practice as a last resort.
Within her course of treatment, she achieved 95% pain relief.
For the first time in four years, she could touch her toes.
"In my four years of physical therapy, no one has really treated my whole areas of pain like Oron. I now have relief of pain 95% and for the first time in four years I can touch my toes — something I could not do in all four years of treatment."

Michele R.
Michele's case was one of the most complex on record — multiple hip and femur surgeries, radiation, nerve damage, and nine months of being completely non-weight bearing.
She had worked with great physical therapists before.
None had tackled the full picture.
The focus here was precise — identifying the specific muscles affecting her gait, correcting form to maximise the benefit of every exercise, and building a programme she could continue safely at home.
Cardiovascular recovery was addressed alongside physical rehabilitation, not as an afterthought.
"Dr. Fiksel is exceptional. His constant attention to correcting my form has been very beneficial. He quickly zeroed in on the different muscles affecting my gait. And unlike other PTs, he supported improving my cardiovascular status in addition to strengthening."
