Vitality injections that treat the cause
Functional balance therapy (FBT) corrects whole-body alignment along nerve and muscle chains, not just the painful spot. For pain that keeps coming back.
How we decide on vitality injections
The painful area, its muscle chain and joint movement tell us whether it fits.
Functional treatment
Vitality injections are offered here as functional treatment.
Beyond the painful spot
We look at the muscle chain and joint movement around the pain, not just the spot.
Fit first
The doctor first confirms the pain is one vitality injections help.
When to ask
Neck forward, shoulders rounded, back aching, I'm stiff all day.
Stiffness running from forward head and rounded shoulders to the back, corrected from alignment up.
I've tried several treatments but the pain remains, it's frustrating.
Pain unchanged after other treatments: we re-trace the cause from numbness and radiating patterns.
I can't afford a long rest, I want to get back to my routine fast.
Tell us which movements hurt and what you want to get back to, and we plan around that.
Check suitability first
If pregnant or still growing, tell us at the visit. Only suitable treatments are chosen.
Even after resting, my body always feels heavy and stiff.
Stiffness that rest does not fix, traced to movement and habits and released.
Tell us before treatment
Tell us about pregnancy, medication and treatment elsewhere. Mild aches may follow for a day or two; rest about five minutes before getting up.
