  Came to Dr. Balter after being in excruciating pain with my back for 2 years that only got worse in August 2025 after getting rear-ended led to having pinched nerves on both sides of my neck that rendered me nearly incapacitated to the point I was barely leaving the house for months and in the winter when the temps would get really low (below 40°) I'd be in so much pain it would take me over 2 hours to take a shower on my own! I had been seeing another Dr. Whom I thought was just a spine specialist, turns out he was a pain specialist as well, only he wasn't truly treating my pain in anyway! No pain meds, no planned course of action and would just give me muscle relaxers and prescribe PT that did not help at all! Dr. Balter was a breathe of fresh air!! At my first appointment we went through all the medications I was on, which is how I found out the sleep med I was on for my insomnia was all wrong for me and wasn't getting me the restful restorative sleep my body desperately needed as well as finding out one of the medications I was on could cause stomach ulcers and as I already suffer from that it is not helpful so got off that and he got me on actual helpful non narcotic pain meds! Dr. Balter and his team also came up with a plan on how to go at my pain and even told me he believes he can get me out of pain and back working for the first time in over a year! HE GAVE ME HOPE THAT I DON'T HAVE TO BE 36 AND DISABLED! He also gave me hope that we can put off me needing to have a total hip replacement I need from the workplace accident that disabled me in 2023! Which is great because the earlier I get it done I would just need to repeat later in life! I've already had 2 if the procedures on my neck and it's helped so much I'm already thinking about where to work once we've gotten all the problem spots done! HERE'S TO GETTING MY YOUTH BACK!!

  An incredible place to do business with. They care about people. Worked with me through and around my financial circumstances and the restraints of my insurance to get me started on a plan that would help me. I have struggled for many years with back pain from alot of abuse on my body during my years of military service. The balanced approach they take here is designed to meet your immediate pain needs, address the root cause/causes of the problem, and build up your strength and posture to help in the future. Very unique and beneficial approach. I would highly recommend.

  Dina, the massage therapist, is amazing. I have been working with her diligently to reduce the pain and inflammation in my back and hips. My hip pain was gone after the first session. She has continued to help me get the massive tension released out of my muscles and has been relentless in the best way. She has been kind and checked that the pressure was okay during my more painful moments. I always leave feeling more movement and relief.
