Standing and sitting even for a short period of time would cause pain in my lower back.

“During my first adjustment, I was afraid that it would be painful. But to my surprise, it was not! I could feel an immediate relief of the tension in my neck. My posture and mood is way better now that the pain is no longer there.”
I had tension in my neck for many years, which is accompanied by headaches and dizzy spells. I was referred to a physiotherapist and went for close to 8 months but there not much difference.
