Lindsey has always been extremely active, so when shoulder pain kept her from doing what she loved – especially playing with her kids – she sought medical treatment.
However, she became frustrated when another physician based her treatment on her age, and not her lifestyle. She eventually turned to Dr. Owens because he took her active lifestyle. Now, thank’s to Dr. Owens and physical therapist Dan Bien – Lindsey’s head-over-heels to be back to her active life. Here’s her myUOIstory.
