Why does your back pain need a new approach?
Back pain isn’t a disease. It’s a symptom of an underlying problem with your body’s structure. It could be from an accident like a fall or car wreck. Or maybe it’s due to something simple like sitting all day at your job.
Either way, drugs treat the symptom. They only cover up the pain. When they wear off, the hurting starts all over. Surgery may fix the problem, but invasive procedures often damage surrounding areas and leave scar tissue, causing new problems.
There’s a better solution.
What is neuromuscular therapy?
Neuromuscular therapy (NMT) is manual medicine.
NMT uses clinically based, scientifically proven techniques to:
- Find the true source of your pain (sometimes it’s NOT in your back).
- Discover other, often less obvious factors aggravating the pain.
- Correct the muscular and structural imbalances leading to your pain.
- Allow your body to heal for long-term relief.
- Show you simple actions you can take so the injury doesn’t come back.
“I sustained a painful injury which had me limping for six months. I went to several doctors who couldn’t help me much. Then one of them referred me to Stephen.
After just two sessions, I was no longer limping! It blew me away.”
– Jarret Kaufman
“I had a spine injury from a skiing accident 8 years ago. Amazingly, only a couple of visits and I feel 100% better.
Stephen does treatments in a way that works almost immediately. He is a healer!”
– Melissa Church
“I’m free of the low back pain that bothered me for 20 years.
I can now turn my body in my bed without grabbing the bars of the headboard. I can type on my computer without cramps in my fingers. My feet are not as cold as they were until two months ago.”
– Ivone Clark
