FACT SHEET
Reflex Patients Speak…
Portland, OR – Each week Reflex doctors receive emails, letters, notes and cards thanking them for
pain relief, getting their life back, being able to walk with grandchildren and loved ones again, and most
importantly, being functional again. We have compiled some quotes for review below…
[MEDIA NOTE: Reflex patients are willing to be interviewed, talk about their “before and after”
experiences, and many are willing to share personal changes as well.]
“My life before the guided injections was miserable. My knees hurt so badly that I could sometimes
hardly walk even with the assistance of a cane. Since I started the guided injections (my first injection
was on October 3, 2012) and only one day later, it is easier for me to walk.” - Carol Case
“I had my first series of 3 injections in each knee in the summer of 2011 and experienced a great deal of
pain relief as well as improved mobility over the next several months. I had my second series of 3
injections in each knee in the spring of 2012 with better improvement. I have had much less pain in my
routine activities, have better range of motion and have been able to resume my exercise program at
Curves for Women. I believe that I would have needed total knee replacements over a year ago if I had
not had the injections. With the injections there's no telling how much longer I can delay the need for
surgery. I am told that the average knee replacement lasts for 15 - 20 years. I would prefer to delay the
procedure as long as possible to reduce the potential for needed to have the surgery more than once.”
- Kathleen Adamson
“Dr Carroll and Dr. Riggs, along with Tyler and Christie have been the first team during 6 years of misery
to offer me pain relief in both of my knees. For the first time in years I am seeing myself return to doing
the things I like to do! Great clinic, great people.” - Bennett Rowe
“Facing potential knee replacement diagnosis from my orthopedic, my prayers of finding an alternative
solution were answered yesterday when I met Dr Riggs who showed me how I can live a pain-free, no
surgery life. I’m relieved and thrilled.” - Glori Gail Jarvi
“For years I was plagued with knee pain so bad I could barely make it through a volleyball match. Since
my injections I have been able to get back on the volleyball court and enjoy the sport I love with much
less pain! Thanks so much to the staff at Reflex for helping me get back to life!” - Mike Chadwick
“I feel bionic thanks to my new friends, Dr. Russell Riggs, MD and Tyler Carey CES after they fitted my
with my new OActive knee brace and injection #1! ” - Ronda Lindley-Bennett
“Where my knee was crooked, loosey goosey and my gait was abnormal before, now with 2.5 months of
treatment it is normal and pain free…I’ve returned to full function, yoga classes, cycling, and hiking
without any discomfort.” - Beth B.

“After 20 years of constant pain in my right knee from an old sports injury and being told by other doctors
that I would just have to live with it or face surgery, my knee feels better than I can ever remember it
feeling. I can now do things that I never thought I would do again without pain like running, weight
training and playing sports with my kids. I would highly recommend Reflex to people of all ages suffering
from knee pain, especially athletes and people who want to live an active, healthy lifestyle without pain.
Thank you Reflex for giving me my life back!” - Leonard Allen
“I just had to tell you of my progress in one day(!) I am absolutely amazed at the difference today in the
pain in my left knee. It is practically non-existent. The stiffness is nearly gone and I was able to stand and
walk for a while today and yesterday–ALL without any stiffness or pain. Absolutely WONDERFUL!!” Reflex Patient
“Well, it’s been almost 2 months now and I can say I am completely pain free and my life has done a total
360 turn around. I couldn’t stand up straight due to the pain, or walk any distance at all. And now I can
stand up straight and look people in the eye when speaking to them and not think about where’s the
closest chair. I have never met a more caring group of doctors with the best side manners and the most
up to date technology. Thank you so much Reflex! You have totally changed my life. God bless you!” Brian Stone
“Thanks to Reflex Clinic for the x-rays of my knees and your professional opinions. It gave me the
confidence I needed to take my competition to the next level!” - Mark Tipperreiter
“Today was the most unusual day, I took my dog for a walk and for the first time in 25 years I have NO
PAIN in my knees. I am so thankful for Reflex Clinic, you have changed my life in ways I never thought
imaginable.” - Mr. WL Hamlett
“I had my first injections by Dr. Carroll and Dr. Russ just a short few days and already I have more
freedom of movement in my knees then I have had in 30 years. Thank-you so much for the relief.” - Carol
Rozann Ramsby
“I am so filled with hope for a pain-free future. There is just no way to thank all of you enough. I am really
looking forward to this process. Thank you.” - Karen E.
“Dr. Carroll and Dr. Riggs not only help you by relieving joint pain, but my experience was that your
comfort is important to them. The environment you’re in is also very relaxing, thank you Reflex!” - Tami
C.
“I’ve been dealing with knee pain for 20 years and after the Reflex knee injections the pain is gone. It’s
incredible!” - Tom Carey
“These quality medical professionals take the time to listen to your concerns and explain things in a way
that you can understand. What great NON-surgical solutions. Looking forward to healthy knees and
walks!” - Patti Busse
