Dr. Rina Tinozzi really likes getting people out of pain. She works with everyone from athletes to new moms, using gentle spinal adjustments and trigger-point therapy to combat headaches, chronic shoulder or knee pain, and sciatica. Every visit includes a trigger-point massage before the chiropractic adjustment in order to both relax patients and release any lactic acid built up in the body. In fact, relaxation is so important to Dr. Tinozzi that she encourages patients to remain on the adjustment table for a few restful minutes or take a slow walk in the park behind the office.

Dr. Tinozzi says most of her patients are relieved of their chronic pain within three to six visits. Still, she encourages them to follow up with wellness and maintenance care to prevent the practices that started the condition in the first place and to continue discussions about which vice president was the best looking (Mondale).
