Your body is more resilient than you've been told.
Most people I see have been told to rest, avoid, or push through. I work with you one-on-one to find the root cause and build a plan that makes sense.

Spine & Neck

Primary Specialization

Back pain

Most back pain isn't about being broken. It's about load, movement, and a sensitive nervous system — all things we can change.

Common diagnoses
Low back pain Herniated disc Sciatica / lumbar radiculopathy Spinal stenosis SI joint dysfunction Spondylolisthesis Spondylosis / OA Ankylosing spondylitis

Neck pain, nerve pain, or headaches

Arm pain, stubborn tension, or headaches that start in your neck. We'll find the source and treat it, not just the symptoms.

Common diagnoses
Neck pain Cervical radiculopathy Cervicogenic headaches Nerve impingement

Beyond the Spine

Orthopedic & Special Populations

Hip pain

Hip pain can show up in the groin, glute, back, or knee. We'll find the cause and build the strength to move without compensating.

Common diagnoses
Hip osteoarthritis FAI (femoroacetabular impingement) Labral tear Hip bursitis

Hypermobility

HSD and EDS need a different approach. We'll build real stability without pushing past what your body can handle.

Common diagnoses
Hypermobility Spectrum Disorder (HSD) Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) Joint instability Generalized joint hypermobility

Jaw pain or clicking

The jaw, neck, and upper back are connected, and treating them together is often the missing piece.

Common diagnoses
TMD / TMJ dysfunction Jaw pain Headaches Facial pain
