“The leading causes of disability are musculoskeletal injuries, meaning disorders of muscles, joints, nerves, bones. The most common approach typically takes a segmented approach of only medications to treat the issue. Although symptoms can be suppressed with medications, that’s only one component to the disorder complex that’s being addressed. By also addressing the movement and healing component, we can successfully treat these injuries. At PEAK we address ALL of the aspects for resolution instead of just ‘dealing with’ constant pain cycles.”

– Dr. Brandon Aucker, DC, MS, PSP
