Simple tasks - lifting a bag, turning your head, standing from a chair - trigger trigger point you didn't used to have.
Your East Austin commute alone - about 18 minutes each way to our clinic, but hours daily on East 6th Street - compounds spinal stress.
You see others in 78702 staying active while you're sidelined - and it's demoralizing.
Insurance confusion and upfront costs have delayed care - but waiting has only made the trigger point more entrenched.
