We treat pain and mobility issues in the whole body - joints, muscles and nerves. The range of ailments we treat is large. But by understanding the fundamental medical properties that involve the connectivity of muscles, joints and the skeleton allow us to effectively diagnosis and then heal pain and mobility issues.


Below are two case studies that represent our philosophic approach and the kind of work we do.

Emma spent long hours on her computer at work. Poor ergonomic positioning (a 12 - 14 lb head suspended in space by small neck muscles) caused muscle fatigue and spasm in her neck, which radiated to the shoulders. Her weekend tennis game only aggravated this condition and resulted in a Repetitive Overuse Injury (ROI) which now included tendonitis in her shoulder and elbow. The pain was interfering with her work and she stopped playing tennis. To end her pain, first the muscles needed to be loosened and relaxed. Trigger point injections into Emma's neck and shoulder muscles and, later, cortisone injections into her elbow and shoulder joint relieved the inflammation and pain. Advice on ergonomics through a study of the Alexander Techniques and a commitment to yoga has further helped to improve Emma's quality of life. What's more, her tennis game and forehand is as feared as ever.

David is an avid biker and skier - both of which factored into the pain issues he was having. A torn ACL from skiing and subsequent surgery left him with a weakened knee. Years of cycling following the surgery caused his thigh muscles and IT bands to overcompensate and protect this knee. The tightening of these muscles caused pain in his legs and pulled down on his back causing back pain. Seeking to avoid surgery, he came to Dr Snowball. Through an understanding of the interconnectivity of the body, they embarked on a plan that essentially reversed the process that caused the problems. Euflexxa Injections in the knee to help rebuild it, trigger point injections in the back and hips coupled with deep message allowed the over stressed muscles to relax and strengthen. Then embarking on a regiment of stretching through yoga to prevent overuse of any one muscle group and to improve core strength, David has alleviated the symptoms without surgery.
