I was told I needed a Rotator Cuff operation. A friend of my wife’s told me about Bill.
I was surprised at how much he knew about my shoulder. He did a complete exam, much
more than my M.D. or Chiro. He told me the treatment would be both pain relief and
rehabilitation at the same time. Before long I was out on the golf course good as new.
I don’t know how it worked but it sure worked good for me. - W.B., Serra Mesa

I had chronic back pain for years. I was told about Bill but I didn’t believe in acupuncture. I had a few treatments and began feeling much better. I then scheduled for Therapeutic Exercise instruction and was taught a routine which I do three days a week.
I now have NO back pain and can do whatever I want. - R.F., Tierrasanta
