Educational Libraries

See our exercise and anatomy library to learn about conditions and exercises that can make your back stronger, more flexible and resistant to future strain.

What We Do

Customized Physical Therapy

In the same building a team of physical therapists have an exercise gym where our patients can receive customized stretches and home exercise programs for their back pain or neck pain. These stretches help create a stronger, more flexible back which in turn prevents future strain and attacks of back or neck pain.

Patient Education

We take the time to educate patients so they understand the cause of their back or neck problem and how best to relieve symptoms.

Worker's Compensation Programs

We can be especially helpful to worker's compensation patients who have injured themselves on the job, as we provide an unbiased assessment of their problem, and help them return to activity and their job.

Referrals from primary care

We work closely with your chiropractor or family practice physician to develop a treatment plan that reduces the risk of a future back pain attack.

MLS Laser Therapy

A rapid return to every-day activities

When a physical condition or injury affects mobility or quality of life, there is one goal: A rapid return to every-day activities.

MLS Laser Therapy is an advanced laser technology that works to eliminate pain and reduce inflammation in the body in a safe, painless, and non-invasive way. This therapy utilizes dual wavelengths of infrared light to penetrate deep into the tissue and stimulate regeneration at the cellular level.

Through years of research and development, the MLS Laser was designed to treat conditions without an excessive thermal effect, often felt as heat. Most people report that they do not feel anything during the treatments. Occasionally, you may feel a slight warming sensation at the treatment site, which is normal and is an indication that the inflammation is being relieved and that your body is responding properly.

The length of a typical treatment session is 10 to 15 minutes. However, it depends on the size of the area being treated. Treatments are usually received 2-3 times a week. Treatment plans are determined on an individual basis.

Great doctor, very knowledgeable with a good bedside manner. The staff is pleasant and the office atmosphere is very calming. I recommended Dr. Mazzaferro to a friend suffering with back problems and like me she was thrilled with Dr. Mazzaferro and the results of her procedure.
