We aim to treat the cause of the patient’s problem and not only the symptoms concerned. Patients are given the “tools” and means to re-gain their pre-injury and functional status as well as to maintain and make long-term improvements.\n\nInternational research by T Flynn et.al. Indicates that 95% of patients seen within 14 days of spinal injury do not return with same pathology within a 6 month period. However, 60% return if only seen in chronic phase.\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t- \n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tOUR GOAL<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ul>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
