Techniques that can protect you from injury.

PRAISE FROM PATIENTS FOR DR. NORMAN MARCUS

I suffered with back pain for nine years... [but now] I am working and living with the confidence that I can make it. There are so many people out there suffering in pain to the point of wanting to give up and die, like I felt. I want them to know how this procedure has changed my life.

I lived with extreme upper and lower back pain for three years. I was finally introduced to Dr. Marcus and after two weeks of treatment I am pain free.

Dr. Marcus pinpointed the problem and treated it. He does not teach how to live with pain, instead he eliminates the pain.

To say that Dr. Marcus and his institute changed my life is an understatementthey saved my life.
