Pain is a symptom. We look for the driver.
If we only treated where it hurts, we'd be guessing right alongside you. Dr. David Lamson traces pain back to its actual mechanical root cause — a restricted joint, a compensation pattern, a movement you've quietly been avoiding — and builds a plan around that. Your nervous system controls how you move, balance, and adapt to physical stress, not just whether something hurts. That's where real care starts, and it's why "here's a heat pack" was never going to fix it.
"It's not that bad yet" is exactly when it's easiest to fix.
Mechanical problems don't sit still while you wait. Your body builds compensation patterns around whatever isn't moving well — other joints and muscles pick up the slack — and that's how a two-week problem quietly becomes a two-year one. Catching it early isn't overreacting. It's the whole game.
