Dr. Joan changed my life! Finally, after 10+ years, my neck and back pain are pretty much gone and I expect them to completely be in the future. She is the first PT that actually knew HOW to instruct me to change my posture and get rid of my sway back which was totally different approach than the many other PT's I had been to in the past. She takes care of your entire body as well as the specific aliment you might initially go in for. I was able to conceive a baby naturally with no intervention a couple months after starting to see her. This was after years of infertility. I believe that was due to the acupuncture and her ability to understand what your body needs to be healthy. Can’t recommend her enough.
