Spinal maintenance and care aims for a mind-body approach
Spinologists target finding the correct balance between your body and mind.

Regular spinal maintenance can induce a positive effect by activating positive hormones throughout your body. These hormones include:
Oxytocin – increases neuro-communication and feelings of social bonding.
