What about rehabilitation and exercise?

Rehabilitation combines adjustments and other therapies, usually with a program of exercises for home. Corrective exercises may be how your treatment continues outside the office. The office also offers spinal screens and lifestyle advice, and lists pregnancy and pediatric care among its services.

Where do you start?

With an exam. Dr. Anderson documents your history, looks for the source of the problem and writes a plan. Read how that works for neck pain, back pain or a car accident injury, or see the full list of conditions.
