At Alternative Back Care Physical Therapy we tend to see the worst case scenarios. We see the person who has been suffering from back pain for decades, as well as those who are experiencing back pain for the first time. Since back pain and migraines are our specialty, we do see first hand the physical, financial and emotional hardship that our patients go through.
Our mission is for our plan and philosophy of care to change the way the medical community sees back pain and migraines and that less time and money will be spent for those who suffer from it. Our goals are to get a book out on back pain, continue franchising our business model and technique and bring relief to a wider audience.
