Our Story

It is “Alternative” for a reason.
It is the same reason that I invested everything I had to start up an independently owned Physical Therapy company back in 2001. I discovered a consistent finding about
low back pain (LBP) shortly after graduating in 1995. Every time I assessed a patient with LBP,
I found that the Sacroiliac joint (SIJ) was involved, but not diagnosed. In fact, I have read 28 years of MRIs regarding LBP and the reports mention nothing of it. I feel this is the
biggest piece of the puzzle for LBP that is not addressed, along with lumbar facet joints being displaced causing a twisted spine. Accurate alignment of these structures gives immediate relief. Restricted / displaced facet joints are a consistent finding throughout the spine from the lumbar spine to the cervical spine. These can give rise to muscle spasms, sharp pains, sciatica, radicular symptoms of numbness and tingling, H/As and migraines.

Our unique philosophy of care addresses all these issues much differently than any discipline, including physical therapy. We utilize the Leveling Technique™, developed by the founder,
Chris Ford, PT, MPT, which attains accurate alignment of all 24 vertebra and the sacrum by gentle mobilization techniques. Accurate alignment = immediate relief and vice versa.
Our homework includes specific exercises, dos and don’ts for bending lifting and sitting to maintain alignment throughout your day and if you can’t you are taught a simple way to
re-align your own back to minimize any pain flare-ups at home.
