My back problems started over thirty years ago, I am a PGA Golf Professional and have played golf since the age of eight. I have over the years been treated by numerous physicians, and had back surgery two years ago. My symptoms were severe lower back pain, and shooting pains down my legs from a severe case of Sciatica. Surgery helped with back pain, but the sciatic has steadily gotten worse over the year to the point I was only able to sleep on the floor and never for more then one hour at a stretch as I continually had to get up, stretch and hit my legs to alleviate the aches all up and down my legs.
After attending one of Dr. Petrick’s seminars, I decided to try his Active Release Techniques Soft Tissue Management System (ART). Dr. Petrick claimed that after only ten visits, I would see results. After, years of disappointment from other doctors claiming they could help, I was quite skeptical. Dr. Petrick and his ART program has been successful beyond my expectations. The shooting pain down my legs is gone, I sleep all night in my bed, and for the first time in years I can swing a golf club with no pain in my back. I feel Dr. Petrick has added years to my life along with a quality of life I haven’t experienced in years. Thank you Dr. Petrick for everything, you’re the BEST!

"After years of playing golf, I reached a point when lower back pain limited my swing to such a degree that I thought I may have to give up the game that I love. I felt like I had run out of options. A good friend suggested a new type of treatment for soft tissue injuries called Active Release Techniques (ART®) Soft Tissue Management System®. While I admit I was skeptical, I was willing to try anything to get my game back. After researching this technique on the Internet, I found a local doctor who specialized in ART®; Dr. Jon Petrick. I made an appointment at the Las Vegas Pain Relief Center, where I received a thorough examination. Dr. Petrick understood and described my problem to a tee! I was relieved to find out that through aggressive treatment, there was a 90% success rate with injuries just like mine. You would not believe the difference that the first treatment made. It wasn’t long before I was playing golf without any pain at all.
Now, I play twice per week and hit the ball further and with more accuracy than ever before. I am more mobile than I have been for more than 20 years! I highly recommend the Las Vegas Pain Relief Center to anyone who is not enjoying the things they love, or has had their quality of life limited in any way due to suffering from soft tissue injuries and pain. It wasn’t long before I was playing golf without any pain at all. Thank you Dr. Petrick and the Las Vegas Pain Relief Center for giving me back my game.

In a recent interview with Jui Jitsu guru, MMA Champion and TV commentator Frank Mir had the following to say. “I am not sure if you have ever had a shoulder injury but mine was multi faceted, torn muscles, stretched tendons, tons of scar tissue, fatigued like crazy and I had an impingement. I couldn't lift it more than 6 or so inches from my body and definitely couldn't train with it. I met a doctor, Dr. Jon Petrick is his name and he owns and runs Las Vegas Pain Relief Center and he is one of the foremost practitioners of ART, Active Release Techniques. Instead of getting operated on, he worked with me and now I can't believe the results we got. The guy is amazing. If you have any injuries and you are serious about trying to minimize the pain and start working on the injury then I highly recommend him.” World Champion UFC Frank MirMy injury left me with no chance of ever playing hockey again. Now, after being treated with ART and a proper rehabilitation program, I have completely regained my career in Hockey. Gary Roberts NHL Forward, North Carolina Hurricanes
I’m a competitive runner and I have searched for a non-surgical approach to take care of my pain. Not only did Dr. Petrick locate my knee and leg trouble, I was able to run the same day, and have not needed surgery.

All the doctors said I needed surgery for impingement syndrome in both shoulders. After one treatment, I rebooked all my competitions and trained to be in the best shape of my life.Milos Sarcev Mr. Universe, 1989
I initially visited LVPRC for a problem with my left thigh and hip. I could not walk without limping or even bend over and tie my shoes. Since my first visit, Dr. Petrick's therapy and expertise of the action of the muscles has enabled me to walk without limping and am now able to tie my shoes in a normal fashion. I’m convinced that Dr. Petrick's knowledge of the overall function of the body will bring me back to feeling young and 100%. Billy W. – Mr. America over 40I’m a professional Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) fighter was only weeks away from a professional fight when I met Dr. Petrick. I had serious doubts whether I would be able to fight due to serious gym injuries to my lower back and shoulder. I saw Dr. Petrick on Monday morning and by that evening I was back in the gym practicing harder than I have in a long time and I was PAIN FREE. I recommend Dr. Petrick and his treatments to all MMA competitors and grapplers who are suffering from injuries.

I was diagnosed by a medical doctor as having sciatica, and was referred to physical therapy. In three months the pain returned and I said, “I’ll just tolerate it.” One night, I met a gentleman who told me about LVPRC and Dr. Petrick. I called the next day and was immediately given an appointment. Dr. Petrick saw and treated me seven times and I was free from pain. Thank God for The Pain Clinic and Dr. Petrick.

When I first saw Dr. Petrick I had problems with my hip and Tennis Elbow. After the first week of treatment, my hip problems were reduced to occasional stiffness and minor aches. After the second week of treatment all that remained was some residual stiffness which slowly disappeared over the next few weeks. Presently… all problems with my hip have been eliminated and Dr. Petrick cured my Tennis Elbow within two months.

The Active Release Treatments® have been proven to be a whopping success. The system works and I would recommend LVPRC and ART® to anyone. Thanks for the good work!

Thank you for helping me get rid of the horrible neck and shoulder pain. It’s amazing how much better I feel. Dr. Petrick's hands are like magic and with them he heals people because of the techniques he has learned. Without Dr. Petrick's knowledge, skill, and “magic” I and all of his other patients would still be struggling with our pain.

When I first came to LVPRC I had been in pain on the right side of my back for five months. At the first session with Dr. Petrick, he explained the procedure thoroughly and talked me through each session for my own understanding, which I really appreciated. After only seven sessions of ART® with Dr. Petrick, the pain was completely gone AND with no drugs or side effects.
Nancy P.
I highly recommend Dr. Petrick to all my colleagues and friends whenever I have the opportunity to do so. He relaxes the atmosphere and body tensions through his caring attitude towards the patient’s personal feelings and emotional state of mind upon arrival. I have a great deal of respect and confidence in his pain relief therapy and will continue to recommend him to all those I encounter that are in need of this type of therapy.
