“Your labs are normal.” But you still don't feel normal.
Back or neck pain that settles for a while and keeps coming back

Your first visit is a conversation, a nerve scan, your health history, a thorough exam and X-rays. The second visit is the report of findings: what they found, in plain language, and what care could look like. Only then do you get your first adjustment.

Bonfire is a neurologically based practice: the question is not only where it hurts, but what in your nervous system could be contributing to it.
