I compete competitively in the sport of CrossFit for a while and everyone knows that every now and then we are subject to some aches and pains that if left untreated can develop in something big. Because of that I work on a monthly basis with Dr. Michael De La Cruz to make sure I stay healthy and injury free. I met Dr. Michael back in January 2023 when I was still recovering from a pretty bad shoulder/neck injury that took me out for 10 months from training properly. I went to 3 different doctors and all of them gave me the usual story; full rest and physical therapy. I wasn’t getting better at all which really frustrated me. Being completely honest, 3 visits to Dr. Michael I was back at weightlifting and gymnastics again. Literally five more visits and I was able to compete again. I usually call him the magician because with just a simple approach he can fix things so easily. What I can say that is different about Dr. Michael is that he does not sugar coat anything, he is very straight forward and looks at the root of the problem, what’s the reason, not just that particular pain in that particular spot. He genuinely cares about his patients, something that is rare to find in this field. I have recommended him to so many people, and everyone comes back extremely satisfied. I wouldn’t think twice before seeing him or anyone...

I have known Dr. Cruz for a long time. He has helped me recover from many injuries over the years. Dr. Cruz worked with me hands on and always cared about me, not only as a patient, but as a friend. He taught me the correct ways to take care of me body and most importantly, get rid of my PAIN that has lingered on for years. The most recent one was this past January, when I hurt my shoulder and neck from a bad fall snowboarding in Vermont. Of coarse, I didn't see him right away and after a few months of neglect I finally went to see him and just after the first visit, I felt so much better!!! I was able to move my arm above my shoulder without to much pain and finally when everything was all said and done. My shoulder hasn't felt this good in years!!! The best part, the shoulder was causing a lot of my neck pain as well. So it was a two birds moment. His new place in Hoboken is awesome and I definitely tell everyone I know who has any issues, new or old, to go see him or Dr. Rojo. Who also went out of his way as well to make sure I didn't slack through my rehab. Which I'm gratefull for in the end. Not so much during but he cared if I finished or not and helped push me when I didn't want too. Thank you both!! Hopefully I won't going back to soon but I'm sure I'll bust...
