While AFSS specializes in non-invasive Spine Strength Restoration Therapy, our therapists are experienced at successfully treating a wide variety of musculo-skeletal conditions.  Please refer to the tables below to see if you are a candidate for our treatment.  

AFSS Spine Strength Restoration Therapy

  • AFSS treats both acute and chronic low back and neck conditions.
  • If your symptoms have appeared recently, we use the best combination of manual techniques and passive modalities to facilitate the healing process and restore normal function as soon as possible.
  • If your symptoms have been ongoing for more than 6 weeks or recurrent, you are likely to have developed weakness and instability in your spine and you may be a candidate for our Spine Strength Restoration program. 
  • Treatment is suitable for sedentary and active individuals alike.

Testimonial

“Before I started reconditioning my spine at AFSS, I could barely make it through a round of golf without serious back pain.  Those days are gone! I recently played 90 holes of golf over a long weekend and even played a set of tennis after Saturday’s round with no back problems.  There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that using the MedX Core Spinal Fitness System at Appleton Fitness, Spine & Sport has helped me immensely.  Thanks!!”
