Dr. Phillip Santino believes there's only one way to get a grip on arthritic pain. Naturally. His drug free philosophy is the result of 22 years of experience in health and fitness. He combines Naprapathy and other therapies to produce long-lasting results without harmful side effects .

Each session begins with an in-depth discussion about the patient's condition. Only after making a thorough appraisal of the patient's pain can treatment proceed in a manner that adhere's to the clinic's policy to "do no harm."

Treatment begins on a rolling table, which gently squeezes pain-inducing lactic acid out of the tissue of the paraspinal muscles. Ultrasound vibration is used to penetrate and relax the muscles almost an inch beneath the surface of the skin by expelling lactic acid from cells.

Hot packs and electric muscle stimulators are applied simultaneously, intensifying the relaxation of the back. During this therapy, a multimatic massager applies rotation, percussion and vibration through a single applicator head to the lower part of the body.

A vibrating massager and passive exercise are used together to unknot specific trouble spots. After removing the hot packs, a rotational massager is used on the now pliable muscles of the entire back.

The session concludes with skillful manual adjustments to muscle groups the previous therapies were unable thoroughly reach. Providing the patient with a final touch of pain relief that can last for weeks.
