Roniel sees the value in searching for the root cause of his patient’s concerns, that sometimes that stubborn shoulder due to stress and fatigue. His top priority is his patient’s holistic wellbeing, and he will provide what he can, and get you in touch with who you need (Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Psychology, etc.), in order for you to get back to doing things you love to do pain free.
