Client Testimonials

  • "I’ve had an ongoing hip/low back for the past couple years. I’ve seen numerous specialists for it and never really got anywhere. The first time I saw Dr. Paul, he actually listened to what I had going on and was able to figure out the issue right away. We did dry needling, manual work and he set me up with several different exercises to help improve the area. I haven’t felt this good in years! I would recommend him to everyone!!!"
