How we approach this at University Physical Medicine
Comprehensive evaluation including neurological screening and imaging review.
Spinal decompression for disc-related cases, paired with chiropractic and soft-tissue work.

Individual results may vary. Our providers will recommend a plan based on your evaluation.
