About Our Practice

Restoring Motion and Changing Lives

Motion is an integral part of our daily lives so when you experience chronic back pain, it can severely disrupt your ability to perform everyday tasks like bending, twisting, lifting, sitting, standing, and walking. Back pain is a leading cause of physician visits, disability, and work-related absence, affecting over 30 million Americans at any given time.

When back or neck pain is prolonged and paired with numbness and tingling, muscle spasms, difficulty moving, fever and chills, or sudden incontinence, it not only affects you physically, but mentally and emotionally.
