DMR Method Innovation at Hopkins Health & Wellness Center

The physical therapists, chiropractors at Hopkins Health & Wellness Center, along with the help of a team of medical radiologists, neurosurgeons and orthopedic spine specialists have developed the innovative non surgical DMR Method for the treatment of neck and back pain, disc herniation, sciatica, degenerative disc disease and other complicated conditions of the spine. The DMR Method of evaluation and treatment is also highly beneficial for non-spinal conditions including sports related injuries, joint pain and other musculoskeletal conditions. Watch the short video on the left to learn more about the ground-breaking DMR Method.

What Doctors are saying about the DMR Method

"The DMR Method produces consistent results and is an effective alternative to spine surgery. Even when a patient has previously had spinal surgery, the DMR Method helps stabilize the spine and prevent recurrence of symptoms and additional surgery."
-John Mullan, MD, Neurosurgical Associates, Ltd.

"We collaborate on many clinical cases using MRI scans before and after treatments to evaluate results, I'm constantly impressed by our patients' excellent outcomes."
-William Mullin, MD, spine radiologist at the Center for Diagnostic Imaging

    When I first started going to the Hopkins Health & Wellness I could barely stand or walk. Now I can work every day. They did a wonderful job with my back. I would recommend Hopkins to anybody with back problems. Thanks for the good work!
