At Back & Neck Pain Center, Dr. Venis takes an individualized approach with each patient in order to develop treatment plans that are uniquely tailored to their needs.

Your treatment plan may involve hands-on spinal manipulation, the Cox flexion-distraction technique, myofascial release, the Activator instrument method, cold or heat therapy, or even gentle massage with anti-inflammatory cream.
