About Me:
In my practice I primarily see patients with back and neck pain. I see people with low back pain, degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, neck pain, sciatica. These issues are ubiquitous. We all at one time or another have at least a glimpse of back or neck pain. My focus in working with people on these issues is intended to be centered around exercise-based solutions.
In the context of these interactions, I come in contact with all kinds of questions, misinformation and conversations care for and prevention of spine conditions. I am sure that my patients are not the only ones looking for information about these issues. So, I decided to create a blog to communicate about topics related to back and neck pain. I do not claim to have all of the answers (because there is often not an easy answer) but hope to create a space where I can communicate with my patients and others looking for information on these topics.
