Ted really paid a lot of attention to my problem area, which is the reason I went. When I told him where I was in pain, he put much of his focus on eliminating discomfort in that area. If you want someone to make you feel at home, this is the place! He is are friendly and welcoming. I wasn't worried about his equipment, but was intrigued by it. A few of his tools I had never seen used in any other practice. He spoke about how he first tries approaches on himself, so I felt safe and well taken care of. I was nervous that I was going to be numb or stiff after my adjustments, but I felt great when I left. It's obvious he is knowledgeable in his area and I have felt very comfortable in the four times I have seen him to date. Ted was recommended to me by a friend whose back pain he made disappear and I would recommend Ted as well.
