Many of our patients come to us after trying other approaches. Our extensive assessment often identifies underlying issues that may have been missed, and our holistic approach addresses multiple factors contributing to your pain.
Yes. Back pain often presents as numbness or tingling in the feet (sciatica). We perform neurological testing to find exactly where the nerve is being pinched and work to decompress that area.
We generally recommend ice for acute, “hot” injuries and heat for chronic, stiff muscles. During your visit, we’ll give you a specific protocol based on your current stage of healing.
Posture doesn’t stop when you go to bed. We provide specific advice on pillow height and mattress support tailored to your body type to prevent waking up with morning stiffness.
