reviewsThe problem
Most back pain comes from muscles that are not stabilizing the spine the way they should.
Often after an old injury, a habit, or a lot of sitting.
That extra tension and load lands on parts of your back that were not built to carry it.
Chiropractic adjustments and cortisone shots are not wrong. They work on a different part of the problem. If those muscles stay switched off, the pressure keeps coming back.
Your first visit
Here is how we find those muscles and start treating them, all in the same appointment.
Everything happens in person on McMurry Avenue. Tell us where it hurts and what you have already tried.
Mark uses muscle testing to find which muscles around your spine have stopped working and are loading your discs and joints.
We go to work on those muscles right away with manual therapy and, where it helps, tool-assisted work. No second trip just to start.
Most patients feel at least 50% better before they leave. Then you get an honest recommendation, including if we are not the right fit.

I hurt my back during a field exercise and could barely move. … I am back to running and moving around without pain. No drugs, no chiropractor, just getting muscles to work the way they should.
I came in with back pain that was difficult to diagnose, and Mark was patient and took the time to understand the root problem. … He helps you learn how to address back problems at home so that you stay healthy in the long run.
Since being treated, I no longer wake up with back or neck pain! It’s amazing what they have taught me and how far I have come along!
Who you will see
The clinic has been working on Fort Collins backs for more than 25 years. Mark built it around one idea: before you treat the place that hurts, test the muscles around it and find out which ones have quit doing their job. He developed the muscle testing approach the clinic still works from today.

Yes, for certain disc issues. If testing points to your discs rather than your muscles, we will talk through whether spinal decompression may be an option for you. If it is beyond our scope, we will tell you that too.
