Services
Note: Your first appointment is very important in making sure that we devise a course of action that is tailored to your specific spine or posture needs.
For this reason, we set aside and devote an hour so that we can really get to know you and your body.
If you do not complete your online intake within 24 hours of scheduling, or if you immediately opt-out of reminder texts, we will cancel your appointment.
This is to ensure that we are able to devote our full energy and resources to helping patients who are committed to helping themselves build healthier, happier bodies.
We have a variety of videos on our YouTube channel which are significantly more detailed (and longer).
So if you have questions, feel free to email us or comment on a video.
