- a comprehensive, multi-specialty, peer -reviewed website for patients with back pain
The site features hundreds of articles about back and neck pain, including understanding and diagnosing pain, and a wide range of conservative treatments and surgery for pain management and relief. Importantly, the site is non-commercial (not owned or influenced by anyone trying to sell products or services), and it is unique in that all of the articles are peer reviewed by members of the site's Medical Advisory Board (similar to a medical journal review process). The site's animations and interactive features are also especially popular with patients.

The Pettibon System is a comprehensive rehabilitation program for the spine's hard and soft tissues. It applies research-tested adjustment procedures and equipment, trains patients in home care for faster recovery, uses x-rays for diagnosis, assessing progress, and proof of treatment effectiveness.
In the opinion of your webmaster, the Pettibon System is the best system available for resolving many spinal problems that cause chronic pain. If started early and if practiced regularly, it will produce good results as it did with me. Not all Chiropractors practice this technique and I have tried many of them. I am glad I found a Doctor that uses the Pettibon System.....well worth my time and money.
