About Our Practice
In our practice, each patient is given the necessary time to be listened to so that the doctor fully understands the problem bringing them in. Appointments are scheduled one patient at a time in 10-15 minute increments. Treatments consist of muscle stretching, physiotherapy (ultrasound/muscle stim) if needed, deep tissue work on the specific muscle fibers involved, comfortable (but effective) adjustments to the spine (and/or extremities), and carefully planned home instructions and exercises.
