Jaw pain solution

Before TBS? “Stiff neck, often with limited range of motion, like I couldn’t turn right. Along with that both shoulders were very tight and I have a lot of lower back pain from carrying my child and standing over the sink doing daily chores.”



Since TBS? “Now I experience less pain from lower back, shoulders are less tight, and a better range for my neck. The adjustments to correct the problems are relatively painless.”


The Balanced Spine has helped me achieve… “…a healthier body through basic exercises for the shoulders, neck and lower back. A body with less pain and much more relaxed muscles.” –Kelly S.


Before TBS? “Jaw pain – left knee pain – and I was having a hard time going down stairs.”


The correction? “There is such a little bit of pressure you can’t really tell he is doing anything. Afterwards I feel completely relaxed.”


The Balanced Spine helped me achieve… “….less jaw pain and little-to-no knee pain going downstairs. I feel more energy and can sleep much better.” –Vicky F.

Bike accident recovery

“I worked and still work a lot. But I would frequently go home with aches and pains in my neck and shoulders and lower back. It made work and homelife more difficult and stressful. Plus, bad posture.”



Since TBS? “Excellent! The staff here is friendly and very good at what they do! Always feel welcome and relaxed.”


Health and wellness goals? “Through my visits I’ve noticed my pain occurs less often significantly. Less aches and pains make my days much easier. And it’s helped with my posture.” –Jesse F.

Before TBS? “Trained triathlete after a car/bike accident, previously had chiropractic care but not for past 10-15 years. After months of inactivity my neck and shoulders were sore and stiff, and I wanted to find a chiropractor with gentle methods to treat the temporary condition.”


At TBS? “The staff has been friendly, accommodating and helpful. The treatment has been effective, which is obviously the primary concern. TBS seems interested in patients’ general well-being, which is a welcome change from many practitioners.”


Health and wellness goals? “Effective treatment was my main goal and has been the primary way TBS has helped me – I am back to walking/exercising and doing regular daily activities. I appreciate that the goal of treatment is long-term wellness rather than continued adjustments.” –Sheryl W.

Couldn't sleep through the night

Tailbone Tale - sitting all day takes its toll

Prior to The Balanced Spine? “I had dull pain in my bottom tailbone area from sitting all day at work. Also, I was experiencing occasional shoulder, neck and middle back muscle tenseness. I had a slight misalignment/weird pain in my left hip joint. There was a sharp, occasional pain at the bottom of my neck.”



The NUCCA correction? “It was a gentle pressure on my neck. Non-invasive. No pain.”


Since The Balanced Spine? “I’ve achieved a healthy spine, healthy body, awareness of the importance of alignment in my body. Most of all, I think I avoided lots of pain and suffering in the future that would have happened had I not come in and taken care of it now.” – Lizanne M.

Prior to The Balanced Spine? “I was experiencing a pain in the low back as well as in the back of the neck and shoulders.”


The NUCCA correction? “The correction was very subtle and after initial visits I didn’t feel a lot of change. However, slowly I noticed that pain started reducing. I feel fresher every morning and evenings when I return home from work.”


Since The Balanced Spine? “I feel healthier and a less stressful life in general. I noticed that as my spine became better aligned not only did the pain reduce but I felt more relaxed even after long working hours. This has definitely made a difference.” –Yogesh M.
