My Other Interview

I see a lot of patients who have been suffering from headache, or low back pain for 10-15 years. After chiropractic care they are now pain free, or 80 to 90% better than when I first saw them. In a lot of cases, surgery is not the first line of treatment for your back pain. I only refer patients for surgery if it’s absolutely necessary. So before you go under the knife, Chiropractic care might be for you.
