My Philosophy...

  • What drives me is my desire to help patients in pain. I believe in treating the cause of pain rather than prescribe drugs and surgery that most of the time treats the symptom and not the cause of pain.

  • "MECHANICAL PROBLEMS REQUIRE MECHANICAL SOLUTIONS"... This is what drives my work is the pursuit of complex biomechanical cyclic load conditions which are uncovered through the use of 3D Kinematic Imaging (3DO Imaging).

  • I use this simple analogy... If you were driving your car and the steering wheel was shaking and pulling the car to the right and if you took your care into you mechanic and he told you to change the oil, you would be in great disagreement as you would know that the problem is with the alignment and not the oil. Same in medicine. Many doctors prescribe drugs (such as anti-inflammatory meds) to the treatment of pain where the cause was mechanical. So we treat the mechanical cause of disease and allow the body to heal itself naturally. The problem is that we can not see the complex forces causing disease but we can use 3D imaging systems to map the cause and direct the physician to better understand what is going on.

  • That is why we guarantee our results 100% because they work and thousands of patients seek our expertise for the relief of pain around the world.
