A few months back I was experiencing intense pain on my right side.  After an ultrasound, I was told I had cysts on my ovaries that were activated around my cycle.  The treatment plan was to get on birth control pills or have my ovaries removed.  I wasn’t interested in either of those options so I called Dr. Ron.  I have been seeing him for over a year for a digestive issue.

He also helped me with my bladder so I thought I might as well ask.  He said that visceral manipulation could definitely be a helpful option and it was great.  After two session, I had no more pain and it hasn’t returned.

What I learned is – it never hurts to ask – it’s amazing how our bodies want to heal themselves – they just need a little encouragement from Dr. Ron.

Two and a half years ago, I started experiencing intense, constant burning pain in my groin area and inner thighs. After two trips to the emergency room within a week, I began a months-long search for diagnosis and relief. I saw family medicine doctors, urologists, a pain specialist, and a neurologist. After undergoing a CT scan, an MRI, a cystoscopy and a course of antibiotic and drug treatments, no diagnosis was forthcoming– there were only the things it wasn’t - prostatitis, bladder cancer, nerve damage, tumors, muscle tear, VD, etc. Eventually I found an ayurvedic doctor who made some diet and supplement suggestions that offered some relief, but the pain remained intense enough that I still needed to take a small dose of narcotics every day. My pain was managed but no relief was forthcoming.

Flash forward two years - I was discussing my health with a local naturopathic doctor and began describing my history and type of pain to him. Unlike any other doctor I had talked to up to that point, he understood the type of pain I was experiencing and could describe it for me – the was first time this had happened in all my conversations with doctors. I was used to seeing confused or questioning looks and no more. He said, “I think I know someone who can help you…”, and that’s how I was introduced to Dr. Mariotti and visceral synergy.

After the initial visit to Dr. Mariotti, I noticed immediate effects and relief. After 4 months, I can say that the pain is 80-90% lower on any given day than it has been in the preceding two years – I expect it to be completely gone within a few months if not sooner.

I would describe Dr. Mariotti’s technique as firm, but gentle - as well as scientific but intuitive. I would also say, as someone who is typically skeptical of “non-traditional” treatment that I cannot argue with the results and very real relief from experiencing pain for 2 plus years.

I cannot recommend Dr. Mariotti highly enough – especially to anyone who has chronic pain, which other doctors have failed to diagnose.
