The Spine Center team and B.A.S.E. classes at DHAC have helped him to not only transform his exercise routine but, his quality of life as well, allowing him to live without pain. He can now walk longer distances, stand still for greater lengths of time, sit more comfortably, and get up and down with ease. His back and neck pain is nearly gone. Mike has worked out for all of his life. He says, “Nothing else I have done can compare to the results I’ve experienced from the combination of the incredible care I received in the Spine Center and attending B.A.S.E. classes.”
