Chiropractor Dr. Nicholas A. Grande not only treats chronic pain—he used to suffer from it himself. Familiar with the connection between chronic pain and an unhealthily sedentary lifestyle from personal experience, Dr. Grande—a licensed chiropractor with more than 15 years of professional experience—strives to alleviate aches and tightness, and to increase his clients' ranges of motion. Dr. Grande uses the SFMA screening to determine a patient's problems and then devise a treatment strategy to address anything from joint restriction and muscle tightness to sensory motor control dysfunction. He draws on diverse techniques to achieve these ends, from cold-laser treatments and massages to instrument-assisted spinal manipulation, which is much more effective than manipulating spines with a backpack full of monkeys.
