Back pain, stiffness or recurring discomfort can make everyday activities harder. Michel Jalbert takes the time to assess your concerns and tailor manual osteopathic care to your condition, comfort and goals.
Pain can have several contributing factors. An assessment looks at your symptoms, movement and daily activities, including areas beyond the place where you feel discomfort.
