Fantastic experience: I came in to see Dr. Steve Dunn for severe back spasms. I was practically immobile, in a lot of pain with no sign of relief. I'd seen a few practitioners for help with this issue and I wasn't getting better. Dr. Dunn took the time to assess my issue, used different methods over a few sessions and I finally got relief. Within a few days I was back to my old self. Thank you Dr. Dunn. I highly recommend Dr. Dunn and his clinic!
