It has been my experience that everyone is searching for a solution to their particular health condition. In this case it was a foot condition in which the first provider, a Podiatrist, who exclusively deals with foot disorders had a limited approach and a negative response. The second provider, a Chiropractor, had no solution. Luckily, the BPR Method™ was available to this patient and her results speak for themselves. The BPR Method™ represents a new drug and surgery free methodology of conservative care that is changing the way most practitioners are addressing most non-surgical neuromusculoskeletal conditions.

*Dr. Don Carlock Jr is a Chiropractic Physician in Gulf Breeze, FL and is the clinic director of Balance Chiropractic. He is the Founder of the BPR Method™- a methodology of care that recognizes abnormal foot bio-mechanics as the cause for most spinal and lower extremity neuromusculoskeletal complaints. He has successfully treated thousands of patients using this methodology of care which has been proven to be safe and effective since 1994.
