Arkaduisz M. "Arek" Debicki1,2

Male, b. 18 November, #49043

Birth* 18 November  Poland4,2 
News/Obit* 25 January 2008  Native of Poland opens Concept Therapy

Arek Debicki came half way across the world to follow his dream helping others.

That became a reality for Debicki when he left his native Poland to travel here, equipped with his degree in physical therapy from Krakow.

Debicki started Concept Therapy in Mishawaka in 2003 as a way to help those dealing with pain or injury.

"I specialize in lower back and neck injuries as well as knee and hip replacement pain," Debicki said, "but I've treated many other problems, like sports and auto injuries to neurological problems."

Debicki knows what it feels like to deal with pain, he's suffered a sports injury before.

"What's important," he said, "is that people come to me for help early enough."

Opening his own practice, rather than working in existing one, was an important component in chasing his dream.

"I like to be independent and create my own environment for my patients," Debicki said. "If you work for somebody, you don't have as much freedom."

Working independently also provides the opportunity to be innovative.

Debicki makes a point to pay close attention to the newest treatment breakthroughs in Europe that may work their way here as well.

Light therapy, which he explained is new to the United States, is one of those examples, involving light (photons) applied to tissue. The treatment, Debicki said, is used for soft-tissue injuries and the result is tissue repair, pain reduction and accelerated resolution of inflammation.

While Debicki doesn't employ any other full-time employees at this point, Concept Therapy does have several subcontracted workers including a few physical therapy assistants who help on a daily basis.

What can someone expect when they visit Concept Therapy? After a thorough evaluation, they'll be treated with electric stimulation, ultrasound and either heat or cold treatment, all beneficial to the healing process. Exercise to rebuild, strengthen or repair the damage is the last step.

Overall though, each treatment is customized for individual needs.

The therapy business can be challenging for someone like Debicki, who faces competition with larger business in the area already affiliated with doctors.

But he's hopeful his reputation and service will help him in the future. Already, Concept Therapy has grown based on word of mouth and referrals from former patients.

"My existing patients already recognize the quality care we provide for them," Debicki said, "and I'd like more people to learn that soon too."

In the future, Debicki wants to continue to serve his patients and grow. Grow, he said, "until people recognize us as one of the best treatments in town."
