Specialize in the Treatment of the Spine

Low back pain is one of the most common types of pain. Nearly everyone will experience low back pain at some time in their life. What many people don’t know is that if low back pain is caught at an early stage, it’s fairly easy to treat. At Body Mechanix, our physical therapists specialize in the treatment of the spine and have had remarkable results with patients experiencing low back pain.

Another common type of pain is a headache. Many people suffer from chronic headaches and don’t realize that it can often times be relieved with simple stretching and/or postural correction.
