For nearly 20 years, Dr. Varlotta has been providing patients with highly-effective multi-disciplinary treatment of orthopaedic injuries and conditions. His practice philosophy is that many spinal injuries and chronic pain conditions can be safely, effectively and permanently treated without the expense and risks of major back surgery. This integrative approach to treatment focuses not only on addressing existing symptoms but also developing programs to train and heal the body to prevent future injury. In all cases, the ultimate goal is long-term relief of pain and restoration of optimal physical performance.
