Testimonial

"From playing on my schools volleyball team I injured my lower back. Before I started treatment with Dr. Floro I had been suffering severe back pain and didn't have feeling in my low back. Also my knee was not in the right place. My medical doctors had given me 500 mg of Naproxen twice a day. I had done that for almost 2 years which I started when I was 14 years old. This last year, I started treatment with Dr. Floro in hopes that all my pain would go away and it has! I no longer have back or knee pain and do not have to take pain medication which is damaging to my internal organs. I thank Dr. Floro because I no longer cry from pain and can sleep restfully. "
