Read More Reviews"Over the course of my treatments, I have experienced significant relief from chronic pain and stress-related symptoms that had persisted for years."
"When I got here I was having a very bad time with a frozen shoulder. I got way less pain since the first appointment and by the second I started being able to comb myself! I’m by the fourth appointment and I’m not needing to take pain medication anymore."
"After a few sessions my migraines have all but disappeared. I’m grateful for the thoughtful care."
"But I have only had about four sessions and my pain has drastically reduced. For the first time in two years, I’m actually sleeping through the night."
