It was my first time needing professional help with my back problem. Dr Andrea Luckhurst put me at ease and had me up and walking without pain in no time. I have been recommending the practice since my visit as when comparing with some others the prices are also reasonable. I also intend to return and make use of the Float Spa and massage treatments available.
