$22 Back Pain Exam + X-Ray

David Manago, DC and his HealthSource of Mission Viejo staff, office and skills are one-of-a kind. Patients get well and stay well with his unique treatment options. “I believe in gentle treatment producing a corrected spine, which leads to optimum healing and long- term health”. The frequency of the treatment is like Dental care. Once a patient has been corrected, he usually only needs 2 treatments per year to stay well, just like cleaning your teeth. As a graduate of the Foundation for the Advancement of Chiropractic Research the treatment is done with 6 ounces of pressure. And, Thermography is used to determine that the exact complete adjustment is accomplished with every visit. When we combine that with Non-Invasive Disc Rehabilitation, people heal and get well better than they ever have before. “My unique treatment helps your body be the best it can be and stay that way with only 2 – 4 treatments per year to maintain it”.
