Is Back Pain Holding You Back From Living Your Life?

    But weeks go by and the pain is still there. You're tired of waiting for it to magically disappear.

  • You're Afraid It's Only Getting Worse

    Every time you bend, lift, or twist, you wonder if you're doing more damage. The fear is limiting what you do.

  • You Want to Avoid Surgery or Medications

"Went to see Dr. Jayson Dahlquist with some lower back issues and I couldn't be happier with the results. He is a great listener and did a bunch of physical tests to see where I was at to get to the root of the problem. I am happy to say I feel much stronger and have a list of videos and exercises I can use to stay strong and keep the problem from coming back. Feeling stronger every day and thankful I made the call to Dr. Dahlquist."
